Sesame shrimp lunch special
Becca B.

Chan's Inn is a wonderful place to drop in for a treat yoself lunch. They have a variety of lunch specials that include an entree, wonton, egg roll, and soup for $10-14. The dining room is clean and tidy with attentive service and quiet music for a casual ambiance. My family frequents Chan's Inn for takeout and delivery often. A few of our favorite menu items are: drunken noodles, tropical curry fried rice, moo shu pork, Chan's special egg rolls and anything with shrimp. Their prices are competitive and always provide generous portions. Don't snooze on this locally-owned family business. They offer gift certificates too.

Medium Hot & Sour

This place has good food and it's inexpensive. I would consider coming back here because of the value. I will say I really liked their pork egg rolls, delicious, much better than most places. The Hot & Sour soup, the Won Ton soup and the 3 ingredient Kung Pao were good but certainly not the best I've had. The place itself, the service & ambiance are about what I'm used to from a Chinese place, it's not run down but not fine dining either. The waitress will occasionally check on you. Ultimately, if you're looking for a good place that won't hurt the pocket book, you may have found your place- the lunch specials are very inexpensive. I have no regrets about coming here, I may come back to try other entrees and have the egg rolls again. Happy eating!!

Exterior

The exterior is very unassuming, with its strip mall and cheesy font on the sign. But the interior is actually pretty cute, and everyone inside was very nice and welcoming. I think they must have a lot of regulars, as the servers mentioned that they hadn't seen us before and hoped we would be back. And boy howdy will we be. We got the Mongolian beef and the orange chicken. The Mongolian beef was so good- sliced onions and a fresh garlic heavy sauce. My husband asked for both dishes we ordered to be medium spicy, and that was a little much for me, but he loved it. The orange chicken was breaded and fried, with a sauce that was amazingly multi layered, with a fresh orange slice and orange rind scattered throughout. We did ask for both fried rice and steamed rice, and only got the fried rice. I think I'll stick with the steamed rice, the fried rice was the least interesting part of the meal. Everything else made up for it in spades however. Highly highly recommend. Will be adding this to our regular rotation.

This is just the appetizers

Our favorite place for asian food Has been recently remodeled and well done. Menu is extensive. Keep trying different things and never found anything I don't like Staff is terrific. Prices are the best We never leave here without taking another full amount of food home with us

I've been here a few times and I always seem to order the same thing~ bbq pork fried rice. It's amazing! I stopped by the other day as well and my mom ordered the shrimp lomein and literally she finished in 5 minutes lol. I tried it as well and have to admit it was quite tasty. A little too much salt and grease for my taste, but the taste itself was on point. I also tried the combination noodle bowl and enjoyed the flavor as well; however, I thought the meat was pretty greasy. I think I will stick with the bbq pork friend rice~ honestly my favorite! Service is 5 stars, great ambiance and always busy.

definitely a worm.. it was moving... garlic beef and fried rice.

I am very disappointed so much money down the drain. This worm/caterpillar crawling around my food. Disgusting!

Best Chinese food in the area. I don't know what else there is to say; it rivals some places in San Francisco's Chinatown.

You walk in to pick up your order and they have tables blocking the entry, that's where you pay for your food. The portions are still as giant as ever, and the prices are still affordable. My wife and I had a hankering the other day for our old stomping grounds, so we jetted over there to pickup an order. It was ready in 10 minutes and two meals ran us $32. I think I pay $32 for a good cup of coffee these days!!!!!! I kid, I kid. The meal lasts you for days, you really get two giant sized portions out of it. It will probably last some of you three days. They don't skimp out here and it's incredible. They serve Asian fusion, Chinese American meals that are addictive. Or is that the MSG??? Probably so, and that's why it's delicious. The food is just so damn craveable! Don't break the bank. Get what you really want. Taste of China, we still love you so much.

(Note, they are closed on Tuesdays.) I placed our pickup order on a Saturday night & it was ready in 15 minutes. The restaurant is for take-out only. Our food was in containers & placed in a box. I appreciated this since there was no way anything was going to tip over & spill. Very friendly phone & counter service as well. Note, you get six free Cheese Wontons when your order is more than $40. We ordered three different entrees with three different sides - Steamed White Rice, Fried Rice & Lo Mein Noodles. The sides were good, however the fried rice didn't seem fried, it was white rice with soy sauce. The Sweet & Sour Shrimp Entree was tasty - the shrimp were medium sized, cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce. The Sesame Chicken Entree was even better, the chicken was moist & tender. The beef in the Mongolian Beef Entree was great however there were way too many onions in the dish. Overall, a very satisfying meal.

Having lived in Hong Kong and Seattle we have always made dim sum brunches an important part of our…read moreweekend routine. We were told that Star Kitchen has a good dim sum service and our experience bore out that recommendation. Star Kitchen has 40 tables which is not enough for the demand so reservations are an absolute necessity. One cannot do this over the phone or on the web. Rather, they have a check-in system in the lobby which is only available about 15 minutes before the 10:00 store opening. Odd but effective since it likely eliminates problems with no-shows. Be advised there is a line before the lobby opens! Star Kitchen seats about 120 diners. They only had 5 carts which is far too few for the demand. Two carts are devoted to steamed, two for fried, and one for tofu and congee. The selection of fare was superb and featured the classics. I will say that the kitchen ensured the carts were always stocked. The lack of carts makes the wait between helpings longer than we would have preferred but the quality and taste more than made up for the delay. We started with chrysanthemum tea, ordered a mix of both steamed and fried classics then finished with honey tofu (which we highly recommend!) Six dishes plus dessert is more than enough for two adults. The food is excellent though the ambiance is classic Chinese eatery - functionality punctuated by bizarre objets d'art and random piles of boxes and linens. Go early and sit tight as your patience will be richly rewarded.

Delicious and authentic. What more can you want from dim sum?…read more Be sure to get here early as the wait can get lengthy. So plan ahead, though the food is well worth the wait! Carts rotate and display their options to you frequently as you enjoy your meal. So tou can order plates as quickly as you finish them. I recommend the pork buns and pork ribs. My favorite this time around were the leek dumplings with a side of noodles. We finished off with a coconut bun that wasn't too sweet. It was the perfect finish to the meal with ample amounts of tea. Use the kiosk up front to reserve your spot!

My group of 7 shared the roasted pork, pork and duck barbecue. I'm not a fan of duck so it would not be fair for me to write anything about it, but those who loved duck meat said that this place serve wonderful barbecue duck. As for the pork, both roasted and barbecue, they were so good. We had a little bit of white rice to eat with the meat, but really, you don't need the extra rice in order to eat these two types of pork meats. Since both styles of the pork were prepared differently, I cannot say one is better than the other: they were both delicious. The crunchiness and the flavorful from the roasted pork, as well as the aroma and the soft chewy from the barbecue pork, brings this dining experience to the next level. We also ordered the yu stir fry choy sum in garlic, the combination fried rice, and salt and pepper shrimp. I highly recommend the yu choy and shrimp dishes. I would skip the fried rice and get their beef chow fun, which is exactly what my other group of 6 did. In addition to what were mentioned above, they ordered Chinese broccoli, daikon and beef in clay pot, Taishan five spice duck, salted fish & chicken fried rice. Everyone enjoyed their food and dining experience here. Conversations were easily understood and heard. When asked what their favorite dish was, all of us said we liked everything, but when pressed to give one special dish, several folks mentioned the roasted pork, the clay pot, and the salt and pepper shrimp. Service here was excellent. The manager was very accommodating to our large group of diners, coming back and making sure we are doing fine as he refilled our water glasses. If you are looking for legit Chinese barbecue pork and duck, you don't need to look further: it's here at Happy Cafe BBQ. Enjoy!

So glad happy cafe is back! And the BBQ is a nice addition. Everything was delicious!read more
