I ordered Sunday dinner for the family, and since I had never tried it before, I decided to order in person. It's located on the end of the strip mall with lots of parking. I placed my order for boneless spare ribs combination with pork fried rice, a large order of sesame chicken with white rice, General Tso's chicken combination with chicken fried rice, and a large order of tostones. The total came to $46, and the wait was about 15 minutes. When my food was ready, I was asked what sauces I wanted. I said, "Give me all of them," and they delivered. The bag was so hot I could feel the warmth on the ride home. Once served, it was a feast! The star of the show was the rice fried and white. My mother enjoyed the white rice and her sesame chicken, while Jo savored her boneless spare ribs and rice--perfectly cooked and not overly sauced. I asked for extra spice in my General Tso's chicken, and they nailed it. The chicken was well-done, and the extra chili sauce I requested was clearly visible in the dish. I was sold. The egg roll was delicious on its own, and even better as the last bite with a dab of duck sauce. We all commented on how good the rice was--the veggies tasted fresh, and nothing lacked flavor. The tostones were lightly salted, which is rare, and this alone elevated the meal to another level. It was takeout so good that I can't wait for the leftovers--and yes, there were definitely leftovers. This is a 5/5 star takeout experience you need to try. I've posted a clear picture for March 2025 so you can see for yourself.

Yeah I agree with comments on here about how this place looks and as for service, I agree with some comments but I will give them, they very accommodating when I ordered for myself and someone else and found out last minute they wanted garlic sauce in there meal, so I asked for a cup of it and they supplied without issue or charging extra. I ordered the triple delicacy combination and it was very good, plenty of pork,chicken and jumbo shrimp was a fair amount I was surprised. Sauce was great, not too spicy or salty. Veggies the usual decent. White rice was bit different since it seemed to have a butter aftertaste like it was cooked in it, nothing wrong with that since sometimes it's done, but first time I experienced that for a Chinese take out over other restaurants. Overall a decent meal.

My family has been coming to this establishment for three decades, since its original location in…read moreSuffern. The ownership has changed but chef Michael has remained a constant in the kitchen. The menu and aesthetics are old school Cantonese, with neon lights and fish aquariums reminiscent of Chinese/HK banquet restaurants of yore. It always makes me a little sad to see the large grey fish that comes to you when beckoned and follows you with its intelligent eyes being confined to his little tank ...but I digress. Most of the menu consists of your typical Chinese-American takeout fare (of better than average quality), but the best and most interesting items on the menu - and what we mostly order - are found in the "Chef's Specialities" section in the back. We always have a feast here: spring roll, seafood winter melon soup, classic banquet dishes like PEKING DUCK (a must!! It's properly served thinly sliced for you to wrap in crepe with hoisin sauce and fixings), GRAND MARNIER SHRIMP, WHOLE CRISPY FISH, FISH w/ GINGER & SCALLION, CRISPY SHRIMP WITH WALNUTS, PEPPERY PRAWN or CALAMARI (comes w/ shrimp chips!), three musketeers (crispy shrimp, scallops and chicken in a garlic sauce, ringed with four crab rangoons), and BEEF CHOW FUN, are some of our favorite dishes in our regular rotation. There are a good amount of vegan/vegetarian options here as well so we often bring our vegetarian friends here. The unassuming and underrated GOLDEN SESAME BEAN CURD with its delicate crispy skin and tender soft tofu center is da bomb and one of my fave items (recommend dining in for this to ensure optimal hot fresh crispiness). We also love the sautéed string beans and eggplant. Chinese food is meant to be shared/served family style so it's very suitable to come with a large party and try a bit of everything. There's a private room and a couple of big round tables in back. Service is hit or miss, though everyone's quite pleasant, but frankly you don't come to a Chinese restaurant for its service, and a stony faced waiter in tuxedo vest is almost par for the course. A small bar is situated near the entrance and always seems to be seated with patrons.

We became regular customers several years ago after friends in Pomona held a dinner party here and it remains the only place that we go to for Chinese food outside of Fort Lee or Chinatown NYC. Our favorite dishes include sizzling steak, chow fun with vegetables and black bean sauce, pan fried pork dumplings and so many others. The vibe is a little dated but cozy with booths, tables and giant fish tanks, I find it charming like an old fashioned Cantonese place from the 80's. The food is quite authentic! The owners are so nice and accommodating. It even has a tiny bar area serving regulars. Give it a try before it gets swallowed up by a quickly changing Pomona!
