Customer Reviews & Ratings
This is an old establishment in Hacienda Heights Good price, quick service and tasty foods I am going abroad for a 12-day vacation, I decided to buy extra food, so when I return home I will have quick Reheat and Serve meals from freezer. I purchased the "buy 4 get 1 free special" for total $51.37 including sales tax. I had MaPo Tofu, Eggplant with Garlic Sauce, SheddedPork with dry Bean Curd, Kung Pas Chicken, last but not list Fish Filet with Black Bean Sauce! I not only enjoyed all the flavor food first, I also packed it in several freezer containers. Old establishment still offers authentic Shanghai cuisines at old reasonable price.
They have dinner specials now, lots variety to choose from plus they have buy 4 & get one more dish for free, I ordered小筍炒肉絲，蝦仁炒蛋，雪菜百葉，辣子雞丁和魚香茄子everything are so tasty, will go back again .
One of the best Chinese restaurant. The food is authentic, and tasty. Food- 5 Service- 5 Ambiance- 4
One of my favorite restaurant in the area sesame, pie kung pow chicken, very delicious Sai Hai fish so good don't missed
This is no Michelin type restaurant but the food is authentic, delicious and fresh! The restaurant is modest and clean and the the service was on pint! The fried rice was one of the best I've had in a long time. The portions are generous and priced very reasonably! This was a great discovery!
Where do you find special lunch and dinner menu 7 days a week? Affordable prices for families and decent portions overall. Buy 4 dishes and get 1 free dish free is unbeatable!
Small unpretentious under the radar place with some pretty good basic dishes that taste almost home made. Everything we ordered was pretty good and very reasonably priced. The tofu dish was pretty well done IMO with a fluffy chewy texture. Not sure why the Yelp photos look so unappetizing and are all rando American Chinese fast food dishes? What I ate was authentically Chinese. Also there is a buy four get one deal which is a steal. Owners can probably manage their Yelp better so it more accurately represents the food, but in all honesty food was good.
