SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES!!! We ordered takeout, but the restaurant has a really cozy and charming atmosphere! We tried the Mandarin crispy chicken combo, and there was a generous portion of food that was delicious. It’s similar to orange chicken but incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. You can really see the dedication and honesty of the lovely couple who runs this restaurant. Unfortunately, we don’t live in Bothell, but we would definitely visit this place regularly if we were closer!

This restaurant is incredibly cozy and always serves delicious food. It's the best spot in Canyon Park and consistently excellent.

I recently discovered this hidden gem, and it has quickly become my favorite restaurant. They make their potstickers from scratch, and I can confidently say they are the best I've ever tasted—I've tried plenty! Their snow pea beef and Mongolian beef, paired with their rice, are also incredibly delicious. The owners even recognize me when I walk in. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

I ate here once more than a decade ago and I felt that it was pretty good at the time but I haven't worked in the area since then and I don't come here to hang out much. For the time being I'm doing some contract work nearby and when my coworker mentioned that she had found a great Chinese place nearby, I was all in to try it. When we walked in, I recognized it immediately and remembered it as having been decent. She said that she really enjoyed the dumplings. I'm a big dumpling enthusiast now but 12 years ago, that wasn't really on my radar. We ordered some and I'm not quite sure what I was expecting but when they came out, they were big and beautiful. They looked like the kind of thing you would usually have to drive down to the International District to get. I really wish I'd taken a picture but they were so that we just plowed right through them before it even occurred to me. They were outstanding and this will be my go-to at this place from now on. I also ordered the house chow mein. It was pretty good but the noodles tasted like they may have come from a pillow pack form Cash n' Carry rather than made in house. I can really tell the difference these days. they were well prepared and the veggies and meat were fresh and tasty. On my previous visit, I ordered the sweet and sour chicken as well as the almond fried chicken. They were also fresh, well prepared and tasty. All in all, this is a very solid place and I have no problem recommending it. I will definitely eat here as often as possible.

Excellent taste and quality at good price. I am very impressed their food quality at reasonable price. They use the quality ingredients. I appreciate to have a good Chinese restaurant at my neighbors after failing couple of expensive Chinese restaurant at Bellevue and Seattle area.
