Chicken Fried Rice -- held together with some sort of sticky, stringy, "sauce"?
Jamie N.

I was sick in bed and thought some hot and sour soup would clear up my congestion. It didn't have much flavor--I mean, I was so concerned with the lack of flavor that I took another COVID test, just to be sure it wasn't that. There were all of these large, gelatinous pieces of something in the soup. I don't think it was chicken or tofu. Maybe some sort of a noodle-ball? Ordered beef chow mein and chicken fried rice for the kids. They didn't touch their food. Kids can be picky so I told them to pick around and just eat the parts they liked... which was basically none of it. The Chow Mein noodles somehow managed to be both undercooked AND sticky, and the beef was like breaded jerky. After scraping off the meat, the noodles tasted okay. They just had a really bad texture. The chicken fried rice had a distinct smell. Sour??? I hesitate to call it rancid because I refuse to believe that someone is out here selling rotten food. But I was going to scoop some onto a plate and it had all of these strings coming out of it--I don't know if it's some sort of byproduct of the sauce??? And it was every scoop/forkful. It wasn't like there was a way to "eat around" it. I don't think I have anything good to say about the food. We had a few little fried things that were okay. Egg Rolls were basically empty. The fried cream cheese wonton things were fine. The crab sticks (imitation crab wrapped in fried wonton) were also fine, I guess, but not the sort of thing I'd order again. I guess the moral of the story is that this is a great restaurant to order from if you are sick--and also want food poisoning?

Its a privilege to know that this location is in my neighborhood. I feel proud to have such a great tasting Chinese spot to turn to. Parking could be a pain if they're crowded but they are organized and safe. CoVid protocols were enforced and the prices are very good for the amount of food the portion. They are very generous. The taste, the taste!! It's a non stop chew. The orange chicken was right on point. They sell Jalepeno chicken wings. They did not disappoint. They are awesome. Steamed rice was available which is awesome as well. I found this location through yelp and its a gem. I will DEFINITELY be back.

Came here after a long day of walking along hollywood and i am so happy we did. I wasnt too sure of…read morewhat to expect, but the interior was so beautifully done with a mix of a subway/ speakeasy vibe and perfect lighting for any occasion. It was a but busy when we got there but luckily we got seared pretty shortly after arrival. We originally wanted to sit at the bar, but opted for a table for less wait time. When first looking at the menu we were shocked by the prices. I knew immediately i wanted to get the hui tou potstikers with pork and noodles. We ended up adding on the hongkong style wontons too. To my suprise the wontons arrived in a delicious and warm broth, keeping them perfectly moist and plump. The broth was so delicious even on a hot day, tasting faintly of sesame and scallion. Despite both dishes being pork they were so different and equally amazing in flavor. The pan fried potstikers which were CRISPED TO PERFECTION especially reminded me of black bean shortribs that you get from dimsum, fatty but hearty and had me wanting more and more each bite. The minced pork noodles were to no suprise, so good. Noodles tasted fresh, the sauce was umami with mushrooms and pork. While im not the biggest fan of mushrooms, i still ate it up. I feel it would be so good with some picked cabbage too to complement the saltiness. Most notable thing... THAT CHILI OIL. We probably used almost half the jar left at the table. It wasnt spicy at all, but it had this flavor that i genuinely have never tasted before. The texture of the chilli and sesame and the nutty flavor had me in awe. Enough to take two jars home... i would do it again. Servers were so quick, made sure everything we needed was at the table. Regardless of the crowd we were met with promptness and generosity. This that wonton place your girl tells you not to worry about forreal. Will be coming back despite the long drive from home.

Anything you can eat you any night you don't have to cook is usually a great night out. This evening was no exception. Our waitress was kind and accommodating. Positive energy, drinks filled and smile that felt genuine. The ambiance of the restaurant was bar like, but with adequate seating for dining in. Everything was prepared wonderfully and had tremendous flavor. I recommend trying their Hui Tou, stuffed with pork or beef, pork and leek pancakes, they also have vegetarian options. Their pork shumai was delicious, xiao long bao's soup dumplings were flavorful. Delicious. I definitely need a second trip here to try their soups and more of their variety of dumplings.

The braised pork belly was so incredibly soft and melt-in-your-mouth, and paired with the pickled carrots and cucumbers tucked into that steamed bao bun - so juicy. We also got the scallion pancakes which were crispy, chewy, and came with a soy ginger dipping sauce. The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well. The noodles were a bit on the tougher side, which is kind of expected with this style, but the flavors were solid overall. But do NOT sleep on dessert. I had to order the deep fried bao bun with ice cream scoop inside and it was delicious. Absolutely worth saving room for if you're looking to end your meal off with a sweet treat! Parking is easy with plenty of street parking nearby. Love that there's both indoor and outdoor seating - the patio outside is perfect for bigger groups at night, and the inside has its own aesthetic vibe that's equally great. Great service, good vibes, and delicious food. I'll be coming back!

It's a very small (but super aesthetically cute) spot. There is a tiny parking area (I believe 3 spots) but we found street parking on temple. Menu is small and everything sounded great. (I learned they used to be a food pop up/cart, so makes sense!) You order at the counter and then pick a spot. The dining room inside is small with a handful of tables, but they also had many tables outside on their patio and alongside Reno street. I loved the photos of the family of the creators sprinkles through the dining room. Food was yummy. I had no expectations and I enjoyed it. The wings were nice and crunchy with tender chicken inside. Beef noodles were great, too. My only tiny qualm was staff, tho helpful, all looked very serious and I saw no smiles. It was a weird contrast to the charming spot.

The prices are great, the portions are generous, and it's especially perfect for sharing or going on a casual date. The atmosphere feels relaxed and unfussy, but the quality of the ingredients and the amount of flavor in every dish are seriously impressive. Some of my favorites are the mapo tofu, shrimp dumplings, wonton soup, and so many of the cold salads. Everything I've tried has been so freaking good. The service is always great too, and I love how casual, clean, and comfortable the space feels. Plus, the location is perfect because there's so much to do around the neighborhood. You can easily walk a block or two afterward and grab dessert somewhere nearby. It's just one of those places I keep wanting to come back to.

The reception wasn't warm as the girl was on the phone and she just waved at us to get in. Food was scrumptious. Their basa fish fillet in chilli sauce had to be the best I've tasted. The fish was tender, sauce yummy, veggies fresh! It was excellently prepared. Husband and Wife beef and tripe slices was another outstanding dish. It was so good I had to order more rice to eat with it therefore happily broke my diet again. Steamd eggplant with pickled condiment on top tended to be on the salty side, it was soft and tasty. I loved it! Service was lukewarm at best. The girl performed her service in a convincingly nonchalant way. But at least I got lemon infused water refilled twice. :) Well decorated with Chinese cultural elements. Very spacious, clean and peaceful ambience. We had a lovely time and will return.
