Honey shrimp and bbq pork
Audrey C.

Would go again I liked the mom and pop shop. The honey shrimp was my favorite. It was not the typical egg flower soup that I'm used to but still very good. The service was quick and every staff was nice. Inside was very clean and spacious for a lot of people.

I've been wanting to try this place out, finally got to it . Food was good, could have used a tad bit more flavor. The portions.... Are wayyyy more than usual. Staff is friendly and place is clean. As far as I could see. If I come back to the area I'll stop by again

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!

Rice / Chow Mein w/ Sesame Chicken & Spicy Chicken
Fahad H.

Very clean & nicely decorated inside with friendly people running the place! Got the 2 item combo with Sesame Chicken (very good) & Spicy Chicken (decent)! Overall a pretty good Chinese fast food restaurant.

Me and my boyfriend shared a plate and this is what was left and we are both stuffed!
Jamie Y.

Very good service! I can't put into words how great the food is and we both shared a plate and appetizer for under $20!

Drink Menu

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

First Time Dining! Food Was Good, Food Portion Was Good Ordered Strawberry Banana Boba Dine In Was Clean Service was Quick

Chow Mein Spicy Orange Chicken BBQ Pork
Shon N.

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

Honey Shrimp , Orange Chicken , half and half
Megan N.

THEY DID IT AGAIN ! The new owners really made this a whole new experience! They give you so much for such a good price. It's clean, good service and tasty Chinese food ! Definitely a new favorite !

3 Item Combo.
Cindy Z.

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.

Menu

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!

Shrimp potstickers were a little soggy, they could of used a crisp but the flavor was on point. Sleeper hit the chicken dumplings in chicken broth. FIRE! Veggie fried rice hit the spot too loaded with veggies and cooked well. Service was super friendly and I loved the readability of the kiosk to order. I would totally come back.

They are part of the Chubby Group (Chubby Cattle, Chubby Curry, etc.), so I had high expectations. We arrived to see a sticker on the door saying it's a Michelin Bib Gourmand (ooh fancy). Saw the menu with yummy looking items at high prices (ooh fancy). Interior is modern and orange (ooh fancy). Realized it's not a sit down restaurant but a fast casual restaurant. You order at the counter and they give you a number so they can bring out the food to you. We ordered: Chicken Pot Stickers Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings Baby Bok Choy with Wagyu Beef Basil Chicken-Boneless (aka Three Cup Chicken) Chinese Scallion Noodles White Rice Presentation was absolutely beautiful, we were so wowed every time a dish arrived to our table. Then we ate. Salt bomb with every bite. I couldn't taste the flavor of anything because all I could taste was saltiness. Even the bok choy with no beef on it was salty. It was like everything was marinated in a salt brine or something. The chicken potstickers were also super dry. Ugh. If you know what good Chinese food tastes like, this is not it. None of us liked it. Also, it is poor value for what you get. But the people working there are super nice!

GLORY GLORY GLORYYY!!!…read more Came into this spot with no expectations. A friend recommended us this restaurant and told us it's going to be a BANG for you buck with no compromise in quality. After looking at the review, it seemed great. Nice owners and good food, but I was concerned whether they were going to have authentic Chinese food. As soon as I entered, I was greeted very warmly and our server, although he didn't talk much, was so kind with his actions. After being seating and looking at the menu, we ordered a lot. My stomach was ordering before my logic kicked in. To be honest, I thought me and my party of four could destroy the food. Turns out, each plate was about 25-40% larger than we expected. Not all the plates could fit on our table so we started using the tables next to us . Not only was the quantity great, the quality was even better. Some of my must get items are: - Black Pepper Chicken - Mapo Tofu (ask for extra spicy if you like spice) - House Chow Mein - Mongolian Beef *Insider advice, ask for their house special spicy sauce. You will not regret it! If you're on the fence of finding a family friendly diner, which can also fit large parties, look no further! You will finish the meal satisfied AND will have some extra food to take home for lunch the next day. The restaurant is well kept, every table is cleared and cleaned immediately after customers leave AND they have a long bar area with drinks and sports running on the TVs. How can your party/family not be happy. This place has everything I needed! Yall better make your way over... I'll be waiting for my thank you!

I never like to leave bad reviews but we ordered two Mongolian beef lunch specials and they're were…read moreextremely salty. We couldn't get passed two bites. I didn't feel the need to complain because if this is how they send out their food it didn't think there would be an improvement. Very disappointing as I like to support local business. An extra star for atmosphere.
