    Cinnamon twisted roll when you feel like rock n roll
    Miny V.

    I want to say thank you to the staff for opening up early in the morning to serve that deliciously donuts and Vietnamese coffee. Especially to the chef for making that super delicious Chow Fun and special fried rice. Unbelievable dish. The flavor is perfect to taste. Rich in sauce and texture. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Appetizer: 1. 1x Egg roll The egg roll is mixed with shredded cabbage chopped meat, or other fillings inside a thickly-wrapped wheat flour skin. Main: 1. Tuna Sandwhich Canned tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, relish, etc... any others upon request. This Tunalicious Sandwhich was super duper juicy deliciously. What incredible Sandwhich when combined with all the additives. The best Tuna Sandwhich, my opinion. It was so fresh and so good. What can you ask for during brunch. I definitely recommend this location due to their choices of custom-made orders. This place is clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is limited but have street parking. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

    jalapeño in every bite yummy

    My go to place to get my favorite ham and cheese croissants since forever bought a few of my co workers and they devoured it and said it was delicious and fresh if, you want to order a few of them you have to order it in advance so they can make it for you b/c these bad boy sale out quick. Servers are polite and sweet and the place is very roomy

    3.5 Stars! Donuts and Asian Fast Food! Fast, Easy and Cheap..3.5 Stars! Where else can you stop  and get fast chinese style food and fesh donuts. Wait, theres more! They also have coffee and drinks and are open early.  Nothing beats an all-nighter that is topped off with a togo order of orange chicken, orange glazed donuts and a large coffee. Icing on the cake is that the donuts are fresh and you won't  leave with an empty wallet.   The ladies working here are really nice. The parking lot is small but I have always found a spot. This is a good choice if you are in a rush and want a quick bite, donuts for dessert and not spend a lot.  A dozen donuts will cost you about 40 to 50% less than some of the other local donut spots.  Overall, reasonably priced, easy parking, fast and easy lunch and donuts.

    Neither bad, nor great. The food is decent & not too expensive. Menu consist of Chinese food, sandwiches, & donuts.

    Closed!

    I need my refund. I ordered for my daughters birthday party to be picked up last Saturday OCT 1st and your store is closed due to Gas Leak. I understand but you have to call and inform your customers who's relying on that food. Very unprofessional. Up until now the store is closed and i haven't received my refund.

    Great selection of foods!

    As donut places go, this is pretty standard offerings, but wait, they serve croissant sandwiches too, which makes a world of difference. Did I mention they make chine food too? This place has breakfast and lunch covered for the working folks here in Long Beach/Carson. The food is excellent, and the two women running the show have their act together. If you have a big order, they even through in a dozen donut holes for good measure. I can't say it's the healthiest of breakfasts, but it sure is good as we slowly get ready for another days duty at work.

    A standard looking Chinese fast food joint. They have donuts, fruit drinks, sandwiches, great for those working nearby to stop for lunch. Although it looks very simple, this place has a great variety of food and combinations, something for everybody. The tuna sandwich, however, stands out above all their menu. It is absolutely the best tuna sandwich ever in size, price, and taste. If you like tuna, definitely worth a trip. Not much parking but it's never too busy around here.

    Chinese food on the left. Donuts on the right with small seating area in front.

    If you're in the mood for Chinese, look no further. Lucky China is your restaurant of choice!!!…read more I've been eating here for over 20 years, and they have not once failed. I was reluctant to leave this post in hopes of keeping it a secret, but it's time to share this treasure. The same family from the 70's owns this restaurant which is now in their second generation of family owners, their children. Their cooking tastes like it's always tasted, extraordinary. No other ethnicities are in the kitchen cooking. To me, that says a lot about the continuity and quality of food. Trust me, this is not Panda Express with high school kids.... lol. This restaurant is authentic. Food: 5/5... my favorite is their Mongolian beef, peppered pork chops, and orange chicken. They are the best I've tasted (and I love eating Chinese). They have an old school menu with plenty to choose from, nothing disappoints. All is good. Service: 4/5... there are time where things get busy, this may cause some delays. But for the most part, food comes out hot and their family servers are working both kitchen and service. Price: 4/5.... They offer a family dinner special that serves 4 people.. two dishes, fried rice, chow mein, eggrolls, wonton soup, and fried wontonsz. A lot of quality food, for an amazing price. Rest of menu is decently priced. Food 5/5: here it is, the best in the South Bay. Hands down. Pick anything on the menu.. I'd say orange chicken, pepper fried pork chops, or Mongolia. However their sleeper dish is the "three meats king pao". All fire. Ambiance 3/5: No frills, or fluffs... basic Chinese restaurant seating. Nothing special with the ambiance... it's the food that counts. You won't be disappointed.

    I was searching for Chinese restaurants nearby work and this one was 1.5 miles down the street so I…read moredecided to place a to go order (only phone orders accepted, no online and they don't participate with any food delivery services). They have lunch specials so I ordered the Kung Pao chicken for 13.99 which included egg drop soup, a fried wonton, and an egg roll! Depending upon your appetite, this could easily be two meals for light eaters. I also ordered a BBQ pork fried rice for mi amigo who loves it and it was the entire container (didn't take a pic). My KP chicken was good and satisfying. As for the restaurant. It's a good size with plenty of parking and a big dining area so you need not worry about waiting for a table. I had a lovely conversation with whom appeared to be one of the owners and she was so friendly! She apologized for the wait time on the steamed rice and I told her no apologies necessary as I was not in a hurry. I will definitely be back again!

I also loved that they have healthy açaí bowls available in the same building, which is a nice bonus if you're in the mood for dessert afterward. For my first visit, I ordered the Garlic Noodles with Bulgogi Short Rib Steak, and it definitely did not disappoint. The garlic noodles were flavorful, and the bulgogi short rib steak was tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The dish comes with two sauces, and they really elevate the meal. The cilantro-lime green sauce has a nice kick to it, but it pairs incredibly well with both the garlic noodles and the steak. The sweet and savory brown sauce was equally delicious and added another layer of flavor. Every bite was satisfying, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making my first visit even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself has a clean, cozy ambiance that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your meal. Overall, I'd give the food a 10/10. The quality, flavors, and portion size made for an excellent dining experience. While the menu is a bit of a splurge, the freshness and taste make it a place I'd happily come back to when I'm craving a flavorful Vietnamese-inspired meal. I'm already looking forward to trying more items on the menu!

I was googling Chinese restaurants in my work area and I have only tried one other across the street and wanted to try another mom and pop but place my order online for pick up. This place was the only one that had a website (out of the ones I searched) that you could place an order online and pay for (I could have called in an order I suppose at the other places). Located in a really tiny strip mall with a convenience store and a couple of other restaurants, parking is super tight and made me super nervous driving through it (blink of an eye). I opted to park at the USA Gasoline station next door (at a gas pump) as there were no parking spots available. When I walked in, the place looks like a complete dump (sorry, being honest here) with clutter everywhere! One family was dining in and there is one long table and two other separate tables so I would not plan on dining in (just take out). I was not worried about the food quality cause as they say, hole in the walls have the best food! So I placed my order at 11:29am & it was supposed to be ready by 11:43am; however, it was not ready until 11:55am. I got a lil nervous due to where I parked (at the gas station) so I noticed a couple of open spots in their congested parking lot and immediately moved my car. Magic happened upon my return: my food was ready! I ordered the kung pao chicken with steamed rice (brown or fried is 1.00 more). I also added on the hot and sour soup, egg roll, and fried wonton for 1.99 more. With tax, my order came to 20 bucks and some change. For the portion size, it equated to two meals for just the kung pao chicken (not the rice nor apps). As for flavor, I ordered medium on the heat level and it was not spicy and it was good but lacking a bit on flavor. The owner who served my takeout was very nice but you could tell she was a bit busy manning to go orders. Not opposed to trying this place again, but the parking situation is a major stress fest.

There was eight of us, and we ordered a lot of dishes to share. I'm gonna break them down, but I have to say that nothing we had was not top quality. I haven't had food like this in years. First was the Kung pow chicken. Wow, it was just a perfect blend of spice and the chicken was perfect. No gristle. And that is the theme of this entire meal. I hate gristle, this Kung pow was sublime. Sweet-and-sour pork. I basically given up on this dish because no one gets it right, and it's always an excuse to hide gristle and fat. Not in this case. It was super tasty and for the first time I can remember there wasn't 1 ounce of gristle in this meat. It was just crispy tasty wonderful. Hong Kong style chow mein with pork. Another dish I haven't had in years, and this place nailed it. Reminded me of my old China house restaurant in Alameda. I mean it was really good. The pork was awesome, the gravy was perfect. What a great dish. The fried rice was excellent. Not greasy at all. I believe we got a combination fried rice and man was it good. Shrimp with lobster sauce. This was excellent, God this dinner was just so great, and this dish was right in there with the rest of them. I can't wait to go visit family again so I can eat at this place. It was spectacular. Oh and the last thing, the hot and sour soup was amazing. Again haven't had this type of food since I left the Bay Area. I give this meal a triple wow!!!

We ordered the xiao long bao, broccoli beef, beef rolls, and chicken chow mein. The xiao long bao was excellent with a good amount of soup in each dumpling, and the beef rolls were probably my favorite item, especially dipped in a mix of black vinegar and soy sauce. The broccoli beef had a nice flavor, though I wished it had a little more meat. The chicken chow mein was the weakest dish for me: the noodle texture was great, but the overall flavor didn't stand out as much as I expected. Ordering was easy and the menu was very approachable thanks to the pictures. The restaurant is on the smaller side, which actually made it easier to get a server's attention when needed. Food also came out pretty quickly. The ambiance is straightforward and comfortable -- nothing fancy, just a solid neighborhood restaurant. Because it's small, you may have to wait if it gets busy, but tables seemed to turn over quickly thanks to the fast service. One practical tip: the portion sizes are bigger than they look.
