It's a good family place to eat Chinese food. If have a quiet well behaved dog, they will let you bring the dog inside. The chicken, rice, beef with broccoli, are very delicious. The pork needs more flavor. The shark fin soup is ok as well, it's good to warm your body. The services are very pleasant. Our waitress was very happy to attend our needs.
Best, till the "diez y nueve" 19 opens up very soon!
This is a family oriented restaurant. Owned by the same family since opening. Customer service is great and the moment you enter you are warmly greeted. Food is very good and traditional Mexicali chinese food. There is no chinese food like this.
I had the sticky buns. Fantastic. Wish I would have tipped them more, but gave the rest of my funds to my friend to pay. Great service.
I think my favourite part of this restaurant are all the Cantonese uncles trying their best to make you feel comfortable. Our uncle was super friendly - gave our daughter cookies, told us all the best dishes. The food is distinctly Chinese-Mexican, with a hint of the Cantonese flavours you would eat from mom and dad at home. The portions are huge, we just loved seeing all the big families get together to order a lot.
Awsome.. Great food excellent service
The restaurant has been here since the 70s, the service is fenomenal, the food options are multiple, the quality and flavor are extremely delicious, the portions are very generous.
I forgot leave a review for this place. I was here last year. I’m not a fan of Chinese food but I heard it’s the best here so I had to try it. It’s super clean and the service is on point. We were immediately seated and received suggestions upon ordering. The food was delicious. I don’t plan to return to this town but if I do I’m eating here again or ordering take out to bring home with me!
