    Fried rice, black bean chicken, and kung pao chicken.
    Jan W.

    This is my first time here! They were so nice and also the service is so fast. I'm coming back the next time I'm in town. The food was amazing. Great flavors.

    Side of Crab Rangoon (8) and chose eggrolls instead of soda with an order of the combo plate
    Tiffany T.

    Ordered 2 Combination Plates with 2 proteins and a side of crab rangoons (8) for $23 total. So cheap! They asked if I wanted soda with my combo plates or eggrolls instead, so they gave me 2 eggrolls for each plate I bought. The orange chicken and general chicken are good here! Tender, moist and not too sweet. The teriyaki chicken was alright, I wouldn't get it again because I felt like the marinade wasn't flavorful enough. The Broccoli Beef had a weird tang to it and the broccoli was a little mushy. Wasn't a fan of the beef in it either because it was super jelly like, had no type of bite to it. The chow mein here is standard, could use some more flavor and more pork pieces in it but will satisfy your chow mein cravings so I would get this again. Crab rangoons were very crispy but the filling was sweeter than normal, still good. Veggie eggrolls were standard and good. Service was awesome, friendly and fast. Prices are good! I'm definitely coming back

    Jalapeno chicken over steamed rice. ( 2 eggrolls not shown) Total $7.08. They gave lots of meat. Worth it.

    Got a bowl. White rice and jalapeño chicken. Comes with either 2 eggrolls or a canned soda. Total $7.08. Yummy!!

    Be prepared unlike me, prices have gone up (October 2024)

    Be prepared unlike me! Prices have gone up a lot. October 2024. About a $9 jump in a few months.

    Egg Foo, Chow Mein, General Chicken, Greenbean Chicken
    Arriana A.

    I had a craving for Chinese and 7:30. They had no more garlic chicken like sold out. T.T but I took home the General Chicken, Greenbean Chicken with Chow Mein, and Egg Foo Young. The sauce on the Egg is fire and makes it extra tasty.

    Garlic chicken, teriyaki chicken and fried rice for $6.

    A truly satisfying meal. This used to be a regular spot for us when we visited our daughter in…read morecollege. They always served up a wonderful meal. Turn the clock forward a decade and guess what, the food is still outstanding and the service is still attentive and kind. It was a 2 1/2 hour drive for us so we were good and hungry when we got into town. The owner greeted us warmly and a friendly server (her son), came by to help us. We decided to order: Hot & sour soup - heaven in a big bowl. Savory broth filled with delicious ingredients. It was well flavored, not too spicy or tangy Mu shu chicken - 4 pancakes with hoisin sauce. Our server wrapped our first ones for us. The dish contained the typical scrambled egg, sliced cabbage, protein, etc and it was fresh and tasty Beef with asparagus -noted in the entry that asparagus was in season so we had to order it. Meat was tender and the asparagus was cooked beautifully House chow mein - Fried perfectly and not doused in a bunch of sauce or oil. The protein on this dish was plentiful and it was simple and delicious. I loved how they didn't add chives/green onion to these dishes. The hot & sour soup had a few little green onions for color but this is the first time I've been to a Chinese restaurant that doesn't overfill the dishes with onions (as I don't like onions). Maybe that's the reason I enjoyed everything so much. Portions are very generous! We had lots of yummy leftovers. Our server told us that two of his brothers were the chefs. My kudos to them; they certainly know how to cook!

    Best Chinese restaurant in Stockton. Love their house chow mein and bbq pork buns…read more Pretty authentic!

    Friday, January 9th. Approx. 6:50 PM…read more OVERVIEW: Was at Lincoln Village to do some shopping, and wanted to try this restaurant for the first time and get some to-go food. Will probably go back again to give their Dim Sum a try. PROS: - GREAT LOCATION in the middle of Lincoln Village Shopping Center & lots of available parking spaces. - Ordered the Fried Garlic Chicken, Broccoli Beef & House Special Chow Mein. Good flavor & volume for the price. - This may be commonsensical, but while it was quite cold outside on this January evening, management kept the temperature of the dining area at a warm level. I bring this point up since a lot of restaurants in Stockton & Lodi have turned the thermostats of their dining areas down to cut overhead costs, but this place kept their dining area warm & comfy. CONS: - It seems obvious that they only have one chef working in their kitchen, since it took almost 30 minutes to complete my order. Sure, they had to serve other customers dining in, as well as handle a constant flow of pick-up orders, but since it was peak order time on a Friday night, they should have more staff in the kitchen to quickly support the order volume. - While I mentioned in the "PROS" section above, the food has good flavor and volume for the price. The downside is that the overall flavors are not outstanding nor memorable, which doesn't allow for much separation with other mainstream Chinese restaurants, serving the same dishes in Stockton. SUMMARY: If you're in the Lincoln Village area, want to eat Chinese food and are not in a particular hurry, this is a good place to park the car and sit down for a while. If you are in a hurry, better to phone in your order beforehand to cut the waiting time. Don't expect exotic food presentations and flavors, but don't expect massive damage to your wallet either.
