Best comfort Chinese food in Chico. They wait to put the sauce when you order so it isn’t all soggy when you pick up. Pretty decent pho for a drive through place too!

I've been eating here for over 30 years and it's been nothing but consistent. This is THE authentic Asian American restaurant experience. Small business owned, straight to the point service, grandma working in the back, dingy atmosphere, and amazing food with huge portions. The house chow mein here is the best chow mein I've ever had.

My family loves this place! The dry braised chicken and pork fried rice are so good that I usually order an entire to go container of dry braised chicken and they only charge $23 which is a really good deal considering they pack it full and we have leftovers for a few days. We also order a whole container or two of the pork fried rice cause I could eat that for breakfast lunch and dinner it never gets old I could live off of it lol there has been a time or two that the food was just okay but everyone has their off days they’re human completely understandable. I’ve been buying from this place for years and years it’s been a hit almost every time.
