Mar 07, 2026"One of the best in Long Beach. The food is amazing. Teriyaki chicken is incredible. Fried chicken is superb. There's always a line to get in. Portions are plentiful. Love their sauces. They're a little pricey and their drinks are kinda small but overall it's an awesome place to eat. Plenty of parking and great service."

Recommend ordering the Mongolian beef. You usually have to wait a few minutes for them to cook it, but it is so worth it. You just can't beat what you get for the price. Only downside is that they are cash only."

Dec 25, 2025"This is the only chinese food that I enjoy because of their delicious food and their generous portions. I've compared their food to Panda Express, and the difference was insane. Panda Express wasn't even half good, and I didn't even feel full. I recommend this place for anyone who wants a nice full meal."

Dec 16, 2025"I waited to try this place a second time to see if it was me but yeah something a bit funky with the overall taste of food. Maybe there's no msg or something where it's supposed to be healthier but I've eaten a lot of fast Chinese food from different places. It's cool they give a free drink with two item combo. Reasonably priced but probably won't be back. But I'll go up to four stars because they don't use Styrofoam."
