I will definitely be returning for more, as it hit the spot.

I had the House Fried Rice, which is way different from other places. It had shrimp, roast duck and chinese sausage. And then fried in duck fat. Very tasty. Phil is very friendly and knows the regulars. Of course, I came in two days in a row, so that made it easy. As another review said, 'Prices are very reasonable by local standards, though I 'd hesitate to call them low. ' This is Menlo Park. Nothing is low. Gas is expensive. Housing is expensive. And the food is understandably higher than . . . . in Ohio.
