  By the time we got here on a Saturday at 7:15 pm, it was an hour wait. The restuarant is small, but at least there's plenty of parking!
  
  I highly recommend the bbq pork crispy noodles, it's hard to find yellow noodles cooked perfectly crispy yet soft in the middle.
  
  The tofu pork belly pot was a bit dry, tofu was seasoned perfectly, but I'll probably get it without the pork next time.
  
  The duck was good, pretty oily and fatty, but that's where all the flavor comes from, so I approve!
  
  I also recommend the salt and pepper pork chops, crispy and flavorful.

  A review of take out order: bbq pork, half roast duck, beef chow fun.
  
  The beef chow fun was pricey but holy smokes it was a large portion. It's decently flavored with soy sauce and some wokness into the sprouts. I'd order it again in the future.
  
  The bbq pork has no sauce, bummer. The pork was kind of lean but then was tender at the same time. It's pretty good I guess but it would've been better with sauce!
  
  The roast duck is a little on the fatty side. The seasoning is decent and flavorful, great for rice.
  
  Maybe will come by this place with family another day.

  We have come here for dinner a few times and have enjoyed most of the dishes here. The portion sizes are generous which is great when we go hungry. Yet we always ending taking some home. So, here's my thoughts on our recent dinner:
  
  Food: We ordered the Beef Chow Fun, Fish Fillet with Vegetables, a tofu dish, Roasted Duck, and half a Chicken. The Beef Chow Fun was really good. I would definitely order this dish again, as well as the fish fillet. The fish was tender and flaky and the flavor was very good - not too salty. And I really liked the tofu dish (Forgot the exact name of it.)The taste of the duck and chicken were good but both dishes had a lot of pieces with more bone than meat so that made it difficult to eat it. The food came out quickly.
  
  Service: Very good. Different waiters came to check on us during dinner.
  
  Other: Parking is usually easy. You can make reservations if you have a party of 6 or more. It's a good idea if you can make a reservation for your party because the wait can be long. We came around 5:30 on a Sunday night so it wasn't too crowded. We waited less than 10 minutes.
  
  Overall, this is a good Chinese restaurant and we would go back.

  I haven't been here in over 15 years! They have new owners now and the food is pretty good. The food reminds me of authentic Chinese food I had in Chinatown when I was a little kid. Fast service, the waiter disappeared after our food was brought out and never returned but we didn't need anything so we didn't mind.

  How do you know if you found a good Chinese restaurant? When everyone eating there is Chinese! Walked in with low expectations, it's hard finding good authentic Chinese cuisine in San Diego.
  
  We stopped in off a referral from a friend. We came at the golden hour about 4:45pm there was no wait! We got seated immediately and ordered our food. The one mistake we made was getting the clams in the "chef's special sauce" it was not a sauce at all but soup with glass noodles. When questioned about it we two different answers not sure if they messed up and tried to back track afterwards. It was bland and not good. However they redeemed themselves with our other dishes. Fried rice, spicy shrimp and scallops with jalapeños red bell peppers and Chinese broccoli with garlic. Everything else was I delicious packed with so much flavor. The shrimp and scallop dish was my favorite. The jalapeños were sliced in halves and seeds removed. The sauce had a light kick of heat and the sauce was really good. The shrimp and scallops were a great size.
  
  Still trying to figure out how they make their fried rice! It's a very light golden color and I can't get my recipe to taste the same. They also have roasted duck here, the first you see when you walk into the restaurant. It's not a large space I would call ahead of you don't want a wait. But it got packed quickly for dinner.
  
  Overall I really enjoyed the dishes here, it was packed with incredible flavor and the quality of the ingredients were good. This is a spot I would definitely come back to.
