The last time I was there the food was fresh and really good. And the price was $5.99.4 years later the price was $9.50.The food wasn't fresh and no prices for any of the drinks.When the bill came, it wasn't itemized. Of course the waitress didn't know anything. So, I won't be going back.

Great service! We are from out of town and got suggested this from family. Will return when visiting again.

This is it the best Chinese food in National City they have excellent food and the customer service is great I recommend it to everybody and anybody it is cash only so make sure you bring cash

Been coming here for a good while. Great atmosphere, superior quality IPAs ? n above all Supreme customer service.

The best part of our meal was that the vegetables were very fresh. But our food was flavorless, the cash-only policy can be a hassle, and they charge for substitutions in the family dinner combos. Also, the bathrooms are quite run down. We are laughing about how bad it was - at least our 2-year-old ate the almond chicken, or we all would have been crying instead. We will not miss never eating here again.

If not the WORST meal I’ve ever eaten, it was certainly in the bottom 5. Service was poor and inattentive (had to beg for water cups), dishes all tasted the same, breading was often larger than the meat it covered, soup was terrible, and the place was not clean.I’m a pretty cheap guy, but even I turned down the leftovers.Oh, and we asked for fried rice instead of pork fried rice. $4.50 up-charge!Needless to say, I’d rather eat Panda Express than at this restaurant. At least Panda has that amazing orange chicken…

Server was very nice and helpful - food overall was OK. Will try once again something other than their specials; a bit too greasy for our taste. But beef and broccoli were the best part of the meal.

It may look a little bit old and run-down but they have good food there and good selection of meals

Walked in at 728pm online stated they closed at 8pm, the waitress said we can't sit you down because I will kick you out at 8pm (her exact words) I understand people aren't educated but customer service is learned. Shame on this business. Teach your employees manners.

They have tender and flavorful BBQ pork. Great shrimp fried rice. A bit disappointed with the chicken chowmein, it had more bean sprouts rather than noodles.
