    Boba and smoothies
    Timothy C.

    Get this spot on your radar fast! Love love love, this little Chinese food spot next to Vallarta Market. Why this place should be on your radar well let me tell you... Fresh! Pipping hot fresh food, homemade quality you can taste. Dude even the vegetables are fire! Nothing like some stir-fried veggies and savory, spicy proteins. This is like Panda Express ten times better. The spicy beef has been my favorite entree thus far. But I'm still exploring the menu. So far every entree I've tried has been fresh fire and on point with the vegetables. Now let's talk portions, you get your moneys worth and then some. Literally packed to the brim full. I don't know how they fit all that food in there... This keeps getting better, let's talk about the price outrageously cheap! These guys could probably charge more but they haven't and it's amazingly good. Every plate comes with a fresh spring roll, and guys I haven't tried the bobas yet so stay tuned for a review update. These guys are so friendly and have a big smile every time I come in. Restaurant is smaller but has a decent seating for indoor dining as well as hanging out with your friends while enjoying some of the smoothies and bobas they have. They are a newer restaurant to the area so come in a give them a shot. If you know the Chinese place near Anaheim high school this place is just as good if not better than that one. (Which got voted best Chinese in Orange County 2024) yeah it might be better than that one. Thanks Dragon Express I'll be back!

    I love the food but I highly recommend trying out their coffees ! The banana coffee is amazing, it's the perfect blend of sweet and strong. The house coffee is a classic as well, this drink single handedly helped me survive my night classes

    Chow Mein Spicy Orange Chicken BBQ Pork

    Walked in around 6pm. There was no line. I ordered the 2 plate combo. Chow mein, spicy orange chicken, and bbq pork Char siu. The Togo container isn't as deep as other Chinese spots so you won't get as much. They also give 1x free vegetable eggroll

    Food tastes great, kind of like Hong Kong Express. I got the bbq pork, orange chicken, and chow mein /fried rice half and half. Generous portions at a great price - check it out and, support your local businesses!

    3 Item Combo.

    This Chinese fast food joint is run by a lovely Chinese couple. They are so generous, especially with the portions of food. We got a 3 item combo ($9.69), which is such a deal especially with inflation. You don't find a meal for under $10 that could feed you 2 meals with leftovers. The food itself is classic with a variety of options. They also really fill up the plate where your food is overflowing. Everything had great flavor from the orange chicken to kung pao chicken. Definitely a great spot to grab a quick meal when you want something fulfilling and affordable! Note: cash only.

    The food was very fresh and tasted amazing! I was there when the new grand opening was happening and it was awesome to see all performance in the front. Their Thai Tea was super good and didn't taste bland. Overall, very good place

Parking was easy, no wait to be seated on a Thursday evening and service was prompt and also checked up on us throughout the meal. Szechuan eggplant - so yum, arrived piping hot, it was coated in a super thin breading first before being fried and then coated in the Szechuan sauce. Slightly spicy, tangy and sweet, the classic Szechuan eggplant. Fish with veggies - loved how light but flavorful this dish was. Tender fish filet with garlic and a bunch of veggies, doesn't look very flavorful but it was very good! Would get again as a lighter dish compared to the others. Garlic pork - 魚香肉絲 this is typically my favorite dish in Chinese restaurants and saw it titled similarly in the menu but realized it's not cut into 絲 and it included celery, which the dish typically does not include. Not complaining though, the flavor was still great and I loved the dish, just different than what I expected. Sesame chicken - similar to orange chicken but without the orange flavor. Came piping hot and had good pieces of chicken within the breading. Sweet and sour, liked the flavor alot. The dishes came with rice! Would totally come back again to try the other dishes. Happy to find a local spot where I can get Chinese food as there are not too many options around here.

I'm wheelchair bound and it makes it awkward to get around at times, I was thinking I'd see if they had outdoor seating. Kevin was so observant of my presence in the restraunt and had a chair pulled out for me at a table when I came out. I was so touched that he noticed me come in and was ready to seat me. It made me feel welcome, and I decided I didn't want to eat outside anymore. I was there with my dad. Kevin helped give us good recommendations since it was our first time ordering. He smiled and was so friendly to us. The food was good, but the service was outstanding! Kevin made sure our jasmine tea had fresh refills at appropriate moments. He didn't hover, but he was sensitive to the right times to check in. We received really good service because of him. Makes me want to bring friends back here for lunch or dinner. Everything we ordered was good, but I personally recommend the Sautéed Fish Fillet with veggies! Very tasty!

I ordered the black pepper beef ($14.95), which also came with fried rice, hot and sour soup, a vegetable egg roll, and a chicken wonton. The beef slices were tender and thin with juices remaining in the meat. However, the dish overall seemed a little too oily for my palate. The fried rice was good and didn't have an overpowering flavor. The side dishes accompanying the weekend special were adequate. However, the vegetable egg roll was oily, and I had to wipe my fingers each time I picked it up. The little chicken wonton was wrapped in a greasy aluminum foil that wasn't very pleasant to open. I found the hot and sour soup adequate, but I've eaten better elsewhere. Despite some minor disfavors with the food, the weekend special is still cost effective, allowing you to get a big lunch for under $15. There wasn't a wait, and we got immediately seated. We got our food relatively quickly, and our server came back to ask if I needed more water. The ambience is relaxed and quiet with peaceful piano music in the background. Bathrooms are toward the back, and parts of the walls and plumbing inside looked dirty and stained.

I decided to give them another chance and went with the bowl instead -- chow mein with sesame chicken. Everything was fresh, hot, and tasty, and this was around 10:30-10:45 at night. The portions were much better than my last visit. I sat outside, watched people finishing their last-minute shopping, and ate before heading home.
