The portions at this restaurant are extremely small, I mean really small. I would not recommend going here if you are hungry. The wonton soup only has 3 very tiny wontons, I mean they are tiny. Also, there are no combo options available.

8/2 2023 Update: No longer doing deliveries. Rating changed to reflect. I ordered the Shredded Beef with Fresh Chili Peppers and was happy to find it was legitimately spicy! I LOVE IT! I’d order this dish again in a heartbeat!

This is the worst food I have ever had. The soup base tasted like dirty water with no seasoning at all. The one wonton I received was doughy and tasted raw. I will never try the deli next door again.

The restaurant may look like a hole in the wall, but the food is amazing. They still include the pineapple in the sweet and sour chicken, which is a nice touch that other places have stopped doing. There was a constant flow of customers coming in and out during my experience there.
