Wish I could give them a higher rating. I really wanted this to be my neighborhood takeout place. We first tried them a few months ago. Everything tasted OK but the hot & sour soup stood out. Very good, not the best around (see my other reviews), calls for more acid and garlic—worth a return visit nonetheless.Second time around and the soup is still good! Our hopes were in for a bit of a letdown though. All the other dishes were over-seasoned, way too salty in the case of the broccoli beef. Mu shu pork, already heavily spiced, needed no additional sauce despite the provided hoisin. Steamed rice was also disappointingly wet.BBQ pork chow mein was the least over-salted dish but comprised more noodle than anything else; a handful of crisp veggies would have been a nice counterpoint. Overall, the ingredients were fresh and ready quickly. Maybe requesting a low sodium preparation would correct for the ramped up flavors

Too much sauce in noodlesThe lunch menu had delicious soup.

The food was kinda ok. I’ve had a colon blow for two days since. I won’t return.

Solid Chinese food for a decent price. Would come back ??

This is the best Chinese food I ever eaten I been around and nothing like this places I been going here since 1988. I move but I drive all the way to Willow Glen just to eat the best.

The food is good and so are the price.service is great.

Great food, cones out nice and hot. The egg flower soup is our fav!!!

I ordered wor wonton, beef wonton with a couple pieces of shrimp is what i got. Pork chow main had too much allspice and very heavy on the soy sauce. Would have perfered osyter sauce with a lighter pour of soy sauce. Lastly, I could taste the katsup thru the Genetal chicken sauce. Very disappointing for the price they charge.

Nice little restaurant next to a safeway. I was very impressed with the size of the chicken pieces in my chow mein and the sweet and aour pork had great flavor and the texture of the pork. The staff was friendly and welcoming when i came in to pick up my order. I.ll go there again.,

Really enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken here. The house fried rice on the other hand was just okay. This restaurant definitely caters towards the American palate, so if you're looking for authenticity then I'd suggest elsewhere. That's not the say the food isn't good, however. The servers were attentive and friendly and the food was overall solid for what it was.
