Picked this restaurant based on TripAdvisor reviews. Service good, but the food was just plain mediocre. More

What a great find! We ate the egg rolls....hot and sour soup....chinese chicken salad....sweet and sour chicken and sez shuan chicken.. besides not receiving the correct food that we had ordered (orange chicken), we ate it anyway, & luckily were not dissappointed. All was extremely fresh and delicious....the fried food was light and crispy...not heavy and oily....we will return here... More

The service is very good, the selection offers variety for every taste. The food is just exquisite for a fraction of the price you will expect to pay at a good chain like PF Cheng. In addition the service is fast, as fast as a Mc Donalds !!!!! Awsome value, excellent food. More

The restaurant is within easy walking distance of the Fairfield Inn and probably many other hotels nearby. We were seated and waited on immediately. The Twice Cooked Pork was moist with the right level of spicy. My dish, Happy Family, included nice portions of scallops and shrimp with fresh crispy vegetables. You could tell there were locals that regularly frequented... More

We looked on line to find a place to eat in Millbrae. We were just here for a night before we flew out early from the San Francisco airport. This Chinese restaurant was in walking distance from our hotel and offered fresh tasting (no MSG) food at reasonable prices ($10-$15). We got the 'family meal' for $13.75 each and it... More

There aren't many Chinese places -even in SF - that serve good, authentic Chinese food. This is a gem of a restaurant, deserving every review on Yelp (that's how we found it). The food was great, and we loved the Sizzling rice soup especially. The prices were very reasonable, and considering the quality of the food, we left feeling very... More
