Another place I've been a customer for 35+ years although owners have changed hands. Has always remained a go to for good quality food at reasonable prices. Their fried rice is always good.

My favorite takeout spot and definitely worth your support. Staff is super nice and always friendly. Your food gets done supper quick. We don't live too far and always leave as soon as we call in an order and it's waiting hot for us when we arrive. The egg rolls are a must try. Light and crispy shell and they don't skimp on the stuffings. Everything tastes fresh and well made. The soup has lots of green onion and veggies. Plenty of meat in all the portions. For less than $35 for two people I don't think you'll get a deal like this anywhere else anymore. Definitely a great local place to keep supporting.

Plenty of meat in all the portions. For less than $35 for two people I don't think you'll get a deal like this anywhere else anymore and still have fresh food and no skimping on meat. Definitely a great local place to keep supporting.

Ordered takeout/pickup from here yesterday and they were ready on time, and the lady who answered our call was very friendly (even though my sister was having trouble articulating her order, and changed it- the worker was patient). I got the Singaporean noodles (because I avoid Soy Sauce dishes and loove Yellow Curry spice) and it was pretty dang good! Overloaded with mei fun (thin rice noodles) but still plenty of meat, egg, and some veggies. The flavor was SUPERB, not too spicy but still a kick. Only recommendation is they add more veggies and less noodles next time- I wish there were more carrots/cabbage, because that's my favorite part. There was probably only the equivalent of 3 baby carrots, sliced. Would go back for a quick but filling dinner/lunch!
