The place is just simple inside. I was told they've been here for a long time. It's a homey feel with the traditional big round wobbly tables with a lazy susan in the middle. The menu is extensive and has plenty of seafood options as well as meat dishes. We ordered a variety of both and everything was delicious. My only critique is the portion size. It's okay for a few people but for a family meal, we had to order two portions of some dishes. There's another gentleman that brings the food out and buses tables that's also very friendly.

This restaurant has existed for as long as I can remember over the past 30 years. It was one of my…read morefavorite restaurants growing up, so when I recently visited home in DFW, I had to go back. And wow, the taste is the exact same. The decor is the exact same. The people are the exact same. It was truly a feeling of nostalgia that's hard to describe. My favorite dish has always been, and still is, the bamboo shoots with pork. It is so fragrant, umami, and simply delicious. The west lake soup is also a classic done so well - pro tip to add white pepper to give it a little kick. The steamed pork belly was okay - sauce is flavorful (a touch salty) along with the preserved greens but the pork wasn't as tender as I had remembered it. The fish filets are fried to perfection, full of salt/pepper flavor, and pairs well with the jalapeños. If you don't like fish, you can get the same flavor with the pork version of this dish, which I also really like. The service can be a little slow because it's just 1 chef and 1 waitress who own the restaurant - same people that have run the show since I first came here probably almost 30 years ago! Incredible to see them still working so hard and serving delicious food. They'll never know how much their restaurant and food means to me!

Great flavor and the pork didn't have that weird pork taste some Asian places have. The crispy smoked duck pancake was awesome and worth the steeper price. I wasn't a fan of the sauce alone, but in the pancake was excellent. The eggroll was a decent eggroll and the duck sauce that came with it was the best sauce I've had with an eggroll. The lady working was sweet and was working her butt off with the 5 tables she had. Felt great to support a local business. The restaurant itself is out dated but the tables and utensils were clean. The atmosphere added to the experience and the background music was just perfection.

It was barely green because it was cooked to death (it looks better in the picture than in person) and there were only a couple of pieces in each entree. That was fine since it was inedible anyway. The Orange Chicken and General Tso's chicken were a little dry/overcooked inside, but still tasty. We will order again. I want to try something that's not fried next time.

Inside was ground ball of unrecognizable meat with weak broth. Nothing else. Beef/broccoli was ok. Broccoli was fresh. Sauce had a different flavor probably due to the Vietnamese touch.

But overall once and Done! Lots of locals were there so maybe the vietnamese dishes are better? Menu had US alphabet spelled words that we couldn't say next to Asian titles. Some kind of big, non working equipment was sitting right insude the entrance with tubes hanging out. Ugh. Staff was very indifferent. So the search for a good Chinese restaurant goes on.

This place is cheap but still good. Definitely the perfect thing if you want to eat more than fast…read morefood but don't want to sit down at a restaurant. It's so easy to place a to-go order and get it within 10-20 minutes. You get chicken/pork/veggie entrees for $6.45 or beef/shrimp/mixed meat for $7.39. They have a drive thru so place your order online and pick up without having to go inside. They use the same white cheap styrofoam to go containers for everything that you normally get at restaurants. So if you get an entree, they fill the largest section (front half) with your entree and give two scoops of your choice of white or fried rice in those sections for the sides in the back half of the container. The white rice is a 100 times better than the brown rice, pretty sure they just mix white rice with soy sauce in a pan and call it a day for their brown rice. Basically I don't want any rice and would much rather have the entire container filled with my entree item because it feels like I'm getting ripped off this way with getting all the rice. The most worth it menu options that give you the most for your money are their fried rices and noodles, they fill the entire container and don't give you any scoops of rice. The shrimp fried rice and spicy chicken Lo-Mein are the BEST. As for the entrees they give with the two scoops of rice, the Sesame chicken is sweet and the General Tso is sweet and spicy- I like both! Another family favorite is Kung Pao Chicken because it also comes with a ton of crunchy vegetables and savoury sauce. If their dumplings are on sale GET IT. Only $2.99 for a small container of fried or steamed dumplings with the saltiest soy sauce you'll ever have. The fried biscuits are little fried soft biscuits tossed lightly in sugar. Crab Rangoon was not good, way too much crab. Stay away from their Sweet and Sour Sauce- think synthetic pink. Would definitely come here again, but not because I crave it. This is a, too lazy to cook, but don't want to spend too much kind of mood establishment.

It cuts the time so we can just order ourselves. This is the problem though-- we had about 5-7 people come after us who got their food BEFORW us. I mean, all we ordered was 4 tempura chicken strips and 2 chicken wings. We waited for a very long time, having the whole restaurant empty before we got our food. Now for the food: the tempura chicken batter was okay, but everything was super oily. Sauces weren't too good, we liked the sweet and sour but other than that did not like the hot & sweet or mild sauces. Rice was super disappointing, not flavor at all. Dumped soy sauce into the rice for a little flavor. I will definitely not be coming back here.

This was very bad of the restaurant especially with that food being food that I needed to feed my baby daughter. I told them it was way too salty and after they came back stating that is how the recipe is. The manager even told me that next time if I want less salt to put it In the door dash order. This was so embarrassing and she ordered me to ask door dash for a refund and refused to remake the food. First of all I want to say this was wrong on all levels. I did not make a big deal of it because I was with my daughter at the time and I didn't want to do all that in front of her. So I made sure to get the names of the manager and the cook. This was no good customer service and they have lost a customer for life. For all future customers pls do not purchase from here because the quality and taste of the food is terrible. It's very salty and the rice is way way overcooked. They used to make good food before but I don't know what changed the quality is now bad. Pls I am warning you do not buy food from here.
