I have been eating at this place since the 90s. Very consistent quality and great prices. Can be a little nuts at lunch time, so better off going on the weekend or evening. Take out orders are always perfect. Beware if you want to take out on a weekday, there is little parking and the street is tow away till 5:30.
As others have stated the decor is non existent, and I don't like walking through a wall of beads to use the bathroom. Imagine the germs on those suckers. Only I would notice this, but there is an entry alarm that goes ding dong every time someone enters the restaurant. This bell goes constantly over the lunch hr. Probably rings hundreds of times per hr. I think that the place is busy enough and loud enough that they could disconnect the bell. I am certain that they don't even hear it anymore anyways as it is always going off.
If it is your first time and you don't want to be disappointed order the following:
Take out for 3 Large won-ton soup, deluxe fried rice, 6 Summer rolls. This will cost like 10 bucks a person and the portion of fried rice is epic.
Eat in - Won-ton soup, deluxe fried rice, summer rolls, sizzling black bean beef.
Lunch - I like the either summer rolls and won-ton soup, or the chicken satay and won-ton soup. Most everyone in the restaurant at lunch is eating the combination special and summer rolls. I can't get past the smell of the fish sauce, and for that reason avoid the combination plate.
Really the Summer Rolls are so good that they can change your life..
If you like coffee with your lunch there is about a 50/50 chance you will get it. Things get pretty crazy at lunch and for some reason drinks are not always brought to your table, especially coffee! My guess is coffee is probably easier to get after lunch.
The owners are always friendly and I have watched their little girl grow up from toddler to teenager. Ding dong. Ding dong.
