Two fresh milk tea boba drinks

We stumbled across this place yesterday and wow am I glad! The food was amazing and the boba tea was so delicious. You have to try it! Cuuute little place, love the decor and the vibe. A great backdrop for social media posts Service was timely and very friendly. PLENTY of parking

Ho Won Express! Check it out! Support local!

This place is small and homey. When i came in it was quiet and almost closing. I am not familiar with the area but I'm craving for asian food as my son and i wanted something small and home cooked style. Its like a Panda Express style but in a locally style and small family owned business. I ordered 3 entree combo with rice + Egg roll, pork bbq, salt and pepper chicken and small chow mein. And it was sooo delicious i tell you! To top it all, the server and i believe the owner was so nice and friendly. They also have little area for retail items such as Hello Kitty and other cute stuffs. They also carry Boba drinks and the Thai Tea? Yum! The boba is fresh and the Thai tea too. Come check it out guys, i recommend this with locals and visitors such as myself! Worth your money. Let's normalize, Supporting small businesses & local owned business.

2 Entree plate with Broccoli Beef and Salt & Pepper Chicken

I could tell the food was made with care so I had to grab a plate! It didn't disappoint one bit! Barbara the manager was very sweet and this place is very clean and a relaxing spot to enjoy your food. Will be back!

The food is good, the service is quick. It is very clean. I had the ever popular orange chicken & broccoli beef. I was not disappointed.

Hot and Sour Soup

For 2 people, we ordered the hot & sour soup & dynasty shrimp (+sub fried rice) off the menu, along with the kiwilicious & gingerosity teas. We also ordered off their hot bar- the 3 entree combo with green beans, chow mein and salt and pepper chicken- This was more than enough food all for $46. The salt and pepper chicken, along with the hot & sour soup, were the stars. The teas, especially the gingerosity, were so tasty and they went above and beyond by packaging up fried wontons on the house as we chatted with the sweet woman behind the counter. We loved our experience here and will definitely be back.

Don't forget the hot mustard

TRUST THOSE WHO YELP REGULARLY... Super happy, friendly service by family-owned Mom, Dad, and Son... 5 stars for service. Unfortunately, the food was oversimplified for their buffet-style to-go platform with too much sauce and ingredients of a fast food establishment. If you're not into quality food, then this place might be for you. I can't recommend them for food.

I've been to many Chinese express places and the only place that wasn't bland was a spot in SF fidi. I'm sooo happy to find this restaurant!! It honestly tastes pretty close to normal sit down Chinese food and the food tastes clean - no immediate headache after! The fried rice and chao mein were tasty and paired with their chili oil hit the spot. We got the broccoli beef, orange chicken, salt pepper chicken, and eggplant tofu. All were great but my favorite was the orange chicken. Not too sweet and pretty crispy. Two orders of the combo B was just $21.90 total!

The food is good but this is the size I received for Combo A, in my opinion too small. Based on one picture from February from another yelper they downsized the portion. In this case I rather see a price increase. I'll not return.

Came here for our first time last night and had an amazing experience. Every dish we ordered was…read morefresh and had authentic Chinese flavors. Probably the best orange chicken we've ever had, too! We are so happy to have a delicious dim sum restaurant close to home. Definitely a must-try. The service was exceptional, food came out quickly and they gave us each a complimentary egg drop soup as well. You could see the kitchen rolling dumplings which was cool! We will be back soon!

This was seriously one of the BEST finds we've stumbled across! Don't get me wrong, I was a bit…read moreskeptical at first, but OH. MY. GOODNESS!! We came in around 1:30 PM and stayed until about 2:30. The restaurant was calm and quiet at that time of day, the atmosphere was beautiful and welcoming, and the service was AMAZING. But the FOOD?! Absolutely phenomenal. You can genuinely taste the authenticity and freshness in everything. This isn't one of those places where every dish tastes like the same generic Chinese-fusion food. You can tell there is care behind each dish, from the flavors and textures to the presentation. We HAD to try literally almost EVERYTHING. And when I say we HAD to try a little bit of everything, I mean it. We ordered the chicken chow mein, beef & broccoli, orange chicken, sticky rice balls, sesame balls (8), fried veggie spring rolls (3), pork potstickers (8), AND the honey walnut shrimp with a side of steamed white rice. We basically turned our table into our own little tasting menu, and there genuinely wasn't a dish that made me regret ordering it. We were even given complimentary egg drop soup because of how much we had ordered. Anything that was supposed to be crunchy had a GRADE-A CRUNCH. The honey walnut shrimp was creamy, perfectly balanced, and easily one of my FAVORITES. The chicken chow mein was delicious, and I have to give them MAJOR credit for the orange chicken. I'm normally not a huge orange chicken person because so many places make it overly sweet or just not very palatable, but they got theirs DOWN TO A T. Even the potstickers came out with such a beautiful presentation! Yes, at first glance some of the prices might seem a little higher, but once you see the portions, taste the freshness, and experience the quality, it makes sense. I normally say "cry once, buy once," but for a restaurant like this? I would GLADLY keep coming back. The quality and experience are absolutely worth it. What honestly makes me a little sad is seeing how phenomenal this place is and knowing how easily it could get overlooked. There's so much traffic passing by--parents picking their kids up from school, people out working and grabbing lunch, or just anyone passing through--and I really hope more people stop in and give this restaurant the attention it deserves. PLEASE give this place a try and support them! I will absolutely be recommending it to my friends and family. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and properly executed. My absolute favorite out of ALL of them would have to be the Honey Walnut Shrimp -- OH MY LORD. And listen--if you're comparing this to fast-food Chinese prices, you're comparing apples to oranges. Sometimes you pay a little more because you're getting noticeably better freshness, flavor, quality, and care. If cheap is the goal, there's always Panda Express. If GOOD food is the goal, I know where I'm coming back. I genuinely hope they continue to have so much success because food and service like this deserve to be recognized. Long story short: STOP PASSING THIS PLACE UP! Come hungry, order a little bit of everything, and thank me later. Kung Fu Noodle, you understood the assignment. 10/10 -- WILL be back! Your taste buds will thank you.

I understand these guys are a chain which makes the amazing eats that much more surprising. dumplings: have had the FRIED PORK BUNS, the SHRIMP and PORK SHUMAI, and the PORK SOUP DUMPLINGS. all were amazing. the SHUMAI were the best I've ever had (and I've had a lot) and ordered them on two of our three visits. dipped everything in Sichuan red chili oil, light soy, and black vinegar mixed at the table from the condiment set-up. the twenty-year boy (man, they grow up fast, don't they?) had the HALF BBQ DUCK was another outstanding dish. moist and flavorful, not the almost duck jerky served at most places. the Sichuan-style HOT BOILED FISH is one of my favorites and I nearly always get it when it shows up on a menu. theirs is a bright, spicy, and well executed. my favorite dish was the EGGPLANT in Sichuan sauce with ground pork. anyway, pretty sure I'm going to be a regular. it's nice not having to drive three-quarters of the way to San Diego when I'm feeling more like Chinese food than Chinese-ish American food.
