    Wonton soup
    Sara P.

    Really amazing food here cannot wait to try more things on the menu. I had the Kung pao mix and my friend had the wonton soup. The wonton soup had shrimp and every vegetable. You can imagine a delightful broth. My Kung pow was extremely tasty not spicy enough, but that's my fault cause I was nervous and ordered medium quick service extremely busy dining area, but seemed like it was flowing well.

    house special double shrimp - GET THIS!

    5 stars for the "House Special Double Shrimp" dish. I also ordered 3 other things (potstickers, tofu seafood clay pot, salt and pepper squid) but they weren't very good, at least by Los Angeles standards. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned, served on a bed of blanched, lightly sauteed broccoli. It's a very tasty and refreshing dish in the hot NM summer.

    Shrimp pad thai

    Wow wow!!!! This place is just the best! So I ordered the appetizer tray and everything was delicious! Specially the ribs!!!! The sesame chicken was perfection! Not coated in flour! You can actually taste the chicken!!!! The house fried rice was also delicious! The Shrimp Pad Thai was very tasty! Definitely going back! The service was also great!

    Wantons

    Alright, this one took me a while to get to. I'd like to still be able to get in the door to eat! Highly highly recommend. All of it. If you are a vegetarian- there's a plethora of options for you! I'm especially impressed with the lack of greasy oil in anything. The vegetables are fresh. Like- crisp fresh. And delicious. Good Lord, don't get me started on the shrimp. I've officially gone three times this week (yep. Addictive)- here's a mashup of those pics. You will definitely enjoy the house wonton soup bowl. Yes it's $10. It's worth every penny. And more. There's literally everything in it, and the broth has an amazing flavor and everything. There's shrimp, beef, chicken, baby bok choi, carrots, mushrooms (two kinds), broccoli, cauliflower, wontons, and snow peas. I don't know if anywhere else that packs in this many variations of food into one dish- while maintaining the freshness and deliciousness. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. P.S. If it helps, I've been to China multiple times. This is a much shorter trip!

    I've lived near here for some time and never thought to come. Fast forward almost 2 years and we decided to try it. Right after placing my order in store to go, an older woman got right in my face and said "The food is amazing, trust me!" Wow, she was definitely right. The food was SO good! Not very greasy (which was really surprising) and very flavorful. We loved it so much we went back a day later for lunch and that was also amazing. This has become our go to Chinese spot. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

    So happy to be here we miss having them on the West Side, lucky east sliders!

    I have visited a few times since COVID relaxation of restaurant restaurants. They are very compliant with COVID safety practices. And the food is great! This restaurant is still my favorite Chinese restaurant in ABQ. I recently visited and had the sesame chicken. My husband and I both loved it. Still best egg drop soup in town! There is no match.

    Vegetable chow mein and order of egg rolls!!
    Mai L.

    I was craving something Asian (as I usually am) and stumbled across a couple Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants. I really wanted chow mein or some sort of pan fried noodles so I chose this place. I got vegetable chow mein and an order of egg rolls. Oh my - was it delicious. I ordered to-go and my order was ready within 20 minutes. I got there and paid and waited just a couple more minutes. I was able to get a bottled drink to go as well which is always nice when you order takeout (and staying in a hotel) so you don't need to make an extra stop. The place was welcoming, big parking lot, and clean. The stir fry was lightly flavored and fresh. The noodles were perfectly crisp. I was hoping for a thinner egg noodle but this was still very good. Egg rolls were a little greasy but still very tasty. This dinner definitely hit the spot!

    A hidden gem small restaurant that the locals only know but found after getting my nails done. The place is very clean and staff were helpful with menu and order to go- didn't wait no longer than twenty minutes.

    The search for a new place brought us here. It was fairly busy with a short wait for a table to be cleared. In fairness there are only 14 tables and a large group was occupying 3 of them. Drinks ordered and served, now time for selection. We got the Lemon Chicken & Mongolian Beef lunch plates both with Wonton Soup. Soup arrived 1st, hot with an overly peppered broth, green onions and a couple of wontons. Followed shortly by the entrees. The lemon chicken was hot, fried like sweet & sour chicken, but with a tangy lemon sauce. I'm more preferential to sliced patty style but I liked the not too thick lemon sauce on this. The chicken was also very tender. The Mongolian beef wasn't overly spicy and was tender. It was also loaded with mushrooms, onions & green onions. Definitely tasty. The service left a lot to be desired. Our server never rounded on us after the meals were served. Even the check was placed on the table without comment. We were seated at a 6 person round table that was being used as a central location for plates, silverware etc, so the 2 servers were there frequently. Not once did they make eye contact with us and left as fast as they came in. When I tried to get someone's attention as the stopped I was ignored. The food was great but the service was lacking. Food quality is only part of a review- the lack of average service turned this into an average lunch

    We had gone to the portal to hell (Walmart) and noticed this restaurant in the parking lot near the dollar store. We decided to try it out and my wife and I were so happy we did. The restaurant is a little small yet there seems like plenty of seating inside. Everything was nice and clean and they had full covid restrictions still (June 5th, 2021). The menu is a little overwhelming with almost 100 items to choose from. We usually go to Yummi House for Chinese so we ordered dishes we get from Yummi to compare. Wow. Everything tasted SOOO fresh I couldn't believe it. It tasted like they had a garden out back, picked the vegetables right after we ordered, cut them and cooked them. Both of the dishes we ordered were VERY fresh and very tasty. We will definitely be back!

    I think best American style Chinese restaurant in NE side of Albuquerque. But with many businesses these days waiting time is long, but nothing they can do if no one respond to HELP WANTED sign.

    Are they gluten-free friendly?

    Yes! They were quoted in the ABQ Journal write up as saying, "The chef will cook gluten-free versions of many dishes on request."

    My husband and I finally decided to try this place since the owner of Sushi Xuan recommended it…read more Boy, what a disappointment! First off, we ordered the vegetable egg rolls for an appetizer, I do not recommend them since they are frozen ones. They were tasteless while the interior of these rolls were mushy, though the duck sauce was quite tasty it could not overcome these appetizers. Our entrees came next, my husband asked about the serving size and he was told a plate only fed one person, not true. The plate serves two. Anyway, the Kung Pao Chicken has really good flavor, was spicy and served with a side of steamed white rice. My husband's entree was Orange Chicken and nothing spectacular about it. But what will keep us from ever going back was that as we sat in the restaurant eating I started to smell cigarette smoke. It became more pronounced and I realized they were smoking in the kitchen and had the door open to where we were sitting. With that revelation my husband quickly got us out of there...the cigarette smoking inside the kitchen is a total dealbreaker.
