First time here grabbing lunch and had very positive experience. I was greeted quickly by who I assume to be the owner or manager. He quickly asked me what I needed and attended to me very quickly and professionally. The staff seemed upbeat which I love to see. The food was done very quickly and super fresh. Also the flavor was on point like they actually season the food. Highly recommend and will be back for sure!!

One of our local favorite spots for hot and sour soup. The price is good, especially for the lunch specials. They don't use msg. There are usually some tables and seats available. Most people do take out or pick up. There is a pretty big restroom inside. Parking has been easy. The people who work there are nice and helpful.
