    Inside of the restaurant with updated prices!

    This place is literally a hole in the wall...was looking for some Chinese food that was not Panda Express and I stumbled upon this place. The restaurant is nestled downtown across the public parking and literally down the street from the theater. This is not a fancy restaurant as it's more catered for to go orders...however there is seating inside. The food is displayed in trays and you choose as you order. The food is made fresh and if they run out, the cook in the back is making a new batch... The portions are HUGE!!!! You get what you paid for!! See the photos! If you want some good Chinese food go here...FYI: the fried pepper and salt pork chops were GOOOOOOOOD! A MUST TRY!

    This place does not get enough chatter. I almost hesitate to recommend it just because it seems like a hidden gem but it is outstanding! It's a small place with friendly staff. The food is hot (temperature), portions are HUGE, and delicious! The value for the price is spot on. Absolutely worth trying perhaps (totally is) the best Chinese food in town. Competes with Chinese food in the Bay.

    1 side chow mein and rice and 2 entree.  Spicy pork. But the fried pork chicken top right in the picture I didn't like the soy base flavor

    The food I ordered tastes wired and not fresh. Very oily, I would not recommend and probably wouldn't go back.

Three adults and five kids. Staff was amazing and super quick with getting Food out. We ordered garlic green beans, chicken chow mein, egg rolls, Szechuan chicken , honey walnut shrimp, and broccoli and beef. Everything was really good. It was hot & tasted fresh.My husband and I both did not really care for The pork fried rice that came with our honey walnut shrimp, and broccoli beef. The pork fried rice tasted bland. The highlights for me was - the garlic green beans and the honey walnut shrimp! The breading was crispy and crunchy. The broccoli beef was just OK. There's a certain flavor on it that I can't pinpoint what I do. I don't like about it. It's just different. The pork fried rice was very bland so that was definitely a bummer. I didn't try the chicken chow mein, but our kids to devoured it. The Szechuan chicken was really good, but it wasn't spicy at all like the description said it would be I would totally go back. It was a really great experience and really good food and company.

I ordered the wor wonton soup which has a good amount of beef and vegetables but not much shrimp (2) or wontons. The broth had way too much soy sauce in it (dark brown broth). The star is always their fried Prawns appetizer. These are always perfect with a nice crunch! Complimentary hot tea. Beer and wine available. I will still go here for the shrimp! Btw...not busy

    Visited August 17th..see receipt…read more I came in to order their shrimp with nuts and noticed the price is now 22 dollars. Unfortunately it doesn't come with anything- not even rice! I decided to pass on it and just got some steamed rice. They are never crowded in there which is unfortunate because their fried rice alone is delectable! The man that waited on me turned two people away because the dish they were going to order he said had very little beef in it. His attitude was a bit of a turn off. Maybe he was just having a bad day! I doubt i will be back when i am in the area. Hopefully if they bring their prices down they will have more customers to stay competitive!

We ordered cashew shrimp, Mongolian beef, chow mein, and potstickers, and every single dish was delicious. My husband couldn't stop raving about the sauce on the Kung Pao shrimp. It's a small, unassuming spot near Marshall's, but don't let that fool you--go in and order the food. It's so good. The owners are incredibly kind and genuinely want you to enjoy their food. We had a really nice conversation with the owner, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we'll definitely be back. I wish I had taken photos of our dishes. Next time, for sure!

In the East Bay, there was ONE spot that did hot and sour soup in a phenomenal way and here comes Liu Mandarin to send my taste buds into shock and awe. I had the pork dumplings last time too. Two thumbs up. Despite the poor review, I got the walnut shrimp this time around, and I must say-- I wholeheartedly disagree that its mid. The shrimp were super flavorful. Not a crunch, but I rarely find a crunchy walnut shrimp so I'm not hung up on the texture. Just got the beef and broccoli-- fabulous! So fresh i ate the entire order in one sitting. Id absolutely get it again. I was hesitant to order the first time around, but now I can definitively say I've found my local go-to chinese restaurant.

    FOOD - Walnut Shrimp: battered shrimp with candied walnuts…read moreover broccoli. The shrimp wasn't crunchy enough. Walnut shrimp is my go-to when I have Chinese food so I'm a little bit of a walnut shrimp snob. This was pretty mid. 3.5/5 - Mongolian Beef: beef with onions, red bell peppers, and bok choy. The flavor was pretty good. The beef was tender enough. 3.75/5 - Orange Chicken combo: orange chicken with chow mein, and egg roll. The chicken wasn't dry but not very tender either. The flavor was okay. The chow mein and vegetable egg roll were pretty standard. 3.5/5 - Fried Rice and 4 Dumpling set combo: the fried rice was, also, pretty standard. The pork dumplings were pretty good. The side of wonton soup was good. 3.75/5 SERVICE: Service was pretty fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: Everything was okay. Nothing was bad, just nothing to write home about.
