This is another hidden gem in San Francisco. The food I had delivered to my residence from this restaurant was so good. The chow mein was outstanding and very well prepared. I give this place 5 stars ⭐

As a family owned restaurant giving this place a 5 star for the great hospitality, delicious food and speed of service. Spring rolls, even though deep fried, however very fresh, crispy and done on fresh oil. Would highly recommend spicy basil chicken, which was surprisingly mouth drooling. At the end we’ve got complimentary desert. The owner was nice to step out and introduce herself. Thank you, Elaine, it’s pleasure to meet you and know you. Will see you next time.

Very good food. Nice environment and workers. I've had 1 experience where there was too much oil left at the bottom of my chow mein box outside of that everything and time I went it was great.
