By far the worst Chinese food I have ever tasted in all the places I’ve been. Highly do not recommend. General Taos chicken horrible. Tasted old, soggy, and the sauce was like toothpaste texture. The lo main combo was just as nasty. The meat and shrimp were mushy and the entire dish tasted completely fishy. sweet and sour pork was flavorless and completely soggy as well. We had it as take out and just ended up throwing it all away. What a waste. But it was nasty. Just being truthful.

Went for lunch today and had the worst waitress and service. Never got a menu or our food. After 25 minutes of waiting I was asked if I wanted the bill. Told the waitress we never got our food. She pretended to be surprised. She said let me go check on the order. She went to another customer then goes to the computer. She then returns saying there was a miscommunication what would we want to order. I said are you kidding. We left.

Delicious ?Great serviceBeautiful decorEconomicA hidden gem!

Food was good. Unfortunately the front staff is very inappropriate. They are constantly swearing in English and Spanish. Made my family very uncomfortable. I taught this was a family restaurant.

Food there is consistent not alot of flavor variation which is a good thing. Food is always savory and the portions are very generous. Staff is friendly and attentive.

Been to this restaurant several times but on this occasion 12/28/21 the service was horrible . Time was around 1:00 p.m. ordered our food received our soup and appetizer then only received one entree waited 25 minutes before our waiter came to our table informed him about the problem he then stormed away while saying it's the cooks fault everyone that was there heard him. We then called the manger over to our table the waiter walked by and wanted to argue with us so unprofessional. Finally we got our second entree which I couldn't eat was to salty. We will not return to this restaurant.

Small family owned restaurant with great prices and wonderful food. You simply can't go wrong here... The decor is dated and showing it's age, but the people and the food more than name up for it.

Had not been here in a while. Great food, good prices & good service. Unusual seating arrangements makes this a little different, but fun. Definitely going back on our rotation of places when we are in the Northeast.

The food really is outstanding. The place itself ia pretry cool, felt like we were in a Tarantino film. Highly recommended little gem in the NE of El Paso.

In town visiting and wanted Chinese. Terrible choice. Fried Prawn was extremely dry and barely edible. Kids LoMein tasted like biting into an entire clove of garlic my niece refused to eat it. My shrimp fried rice was underwhelming. Haven't tried the egg drop soup I ordered but at this point I'm not very optimistic. I would never eat here again even if they paid me.
