    house special double shrimp - GET THIS!
    Truman W.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    Delicious every time! They have really good quality shrimp. Good service, excellent food

Even though its a small parking lot in a strip plaza. Fresh hand pulled noodles are good, which were a little soft for my personal preference, but still good. It may sound strange but things with pork will taste porky. My girlfriend doesn't like pork, but can eat it, but she ordered the pork and shrimp dumplings and it was too porky for her. For me, it tasted just right because this is the flavors I grew up with. The dumpling dough had a nice texture that I prefer. My Ramen had a big fatty pieces of pork which is what I like. They didnt skimp. It was a good bowl of noodle soup. Wouldn't say its the best ramen I ever had, but it was good. Beef roll was good, I would say its one of the better ones I've seen in ABQ where its really filled with beef. Would recommend this. We also got soup dumplings and I will say that we didnt get the proper spoons for them. At first I thought they just didnt offer them, but looking at photos, we never got them. It makes a difference for your eating experience and enjoyment. We will definitely be back as this is one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area and you really get some real Chinese variety and not your basic generic stereotypical menu.

There is a good variety & selection on the menu. We ordered our usual go tos: pork shumai, shrimp har gow, pan fried chives, chinese broccoli, beef rice noodle, baked egg tart, mushroom shumai, steamed chicken feet, curry rice noodle roll, sweet tofu. The food was great and made us feel like we had made it back to Houston Asia town again. Our 2 honorable mentions were the baked egg tart which was crispy and the sweet tofu which was a perfect balance of sweet and flavor. This is the only place we've found so far that has these 2 items on the menu. There were many other items that we wanted to try but could not this visit because we were stuffed - next time. My only negative was that the shrimp har gow was a little bit on the gummy side. I would give a 4.5 star rating because of this, but since that's not an option I'm happy to give them a 5 star review because it was barely an issue. Everything else was good! We're so happy to have a place that carries some hard to find asian food items that we miss. The service was friendly and attentive and there was a good vibe. The restaurant looks well-maintained and clean. Highly recommend this place.

We would get Dim Sum in Flushing, NY and I have nothing but great memories from it. So! When I found out this spot brings out the carts for Dim Sum - I ran over! We went for Saturday brunch and it was empty. I ordered for the table. The chicken feet really stood out to me and were delicious. I will say...they advertise it is homemade...but I'm not too sure. The soup dumplings definitely had a precooked frozen packaged texture / flavor - similar the ones you can get from the grocery store. BUT! Overall: we had a fantastic experience. The family was very friendly. I think they were surprised how much I ordered. I was excited and happy. And yes, we finished it all lol If you've never had Dim Sum then you MUST come here for the experience alone. They bring out the carts and you pick what you'd like. This is a great way to spend BRUNCH with a large group. Forget the American brunch and try the Chinese one! It's a new experience and will be fun.

The food tasted ok..but I appreciated the kindness of the staff and their service mindedness. I really wished they had more selection of food though. For example, I was hoping their would have fried taro paste in birds nest (ok..I know..this one is really chinese), or even custard buns (this one..I was surprised they didn't have), or..even chicken feet (ok..I don't eat these anyways but hey..it's a testament to what dimsum place would look like). But otherwise, if you arelooking to take someone to try dimsum and aren't so put off by the ambience (the place is quite unassuming..but was fine to me), this id probably a more authentic dimsum place in ABQ to me (granted the sign on the street was a Lil too much of an acclamation of NM's state of dimsum)!
