Pretty great Chinese food. You get a lot of food for a good price. They accept Pitt off campus dining dollars which I like. Service is fast and the staff is nice

This place has it all. From great food given with generous portions, to incredibly hard working staff, I truly can’t say enough great stuff about this establishment honestly. A well runned, good moraled family business who’s place in Oakland stays, and will continue to remain iconic and well accepted.

I've seen quite a few negative reviews for this place, but I actually quite liked the food I got from here. Maybe it's because I only ordered one thing and many people consider it to be an appetizer, but nonetheless...I got their fried pork dumplings with their dumpling sauce. As I mentioned, I actually really enjoyed the,. They were very crispy and well fried when I received my order. One of the best dumpling shells/dough I have had in a while. The sauce had a nice balance of sweetness and savoriness and came in a good portion. The meat was also pretty good. Well seasoned, cooked well, and overall tasty. I really can't complain. And, the portion was also pretty solid for the price. In general, this place prices itself on providing large quantities of food for a cheap price. So if that's what you are looking for, definitely try it out. All in all, great dumplings, solid prices, and good portions. I like this spot! Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options for main dishes like general tsos with tofu, vegetable dumplings, etc

Ouch. First freezing week and I had a short amount of time, so thought I'd get a classic big old bowl of noodles from the place I've been going for a looong time and do take-out. It's been remodeled, so it's cleaner, still has some of the old menu options posted on the walls, but it doesn't seem you can order those any more. All they have now is the generic menu that every other take-out place has. Blah. I would've walked out if I had the time. Asked for tofu instead of a meat with my lunch-special-entree, and they didn't let me know there was a $3 up-charge. They didn't even give the spring roll that was supposed to be with the lunch special. Now that I've tried the lunch, I won't be back.

Pretty good food for such a price. Recommend jalapeño beef. Since I come from Szechuan, it tastes different than genuine Szechuan food, but it does taste good.

Oh my! I personally don't like super spicy foods. Requested min or no spice and was gave double. Not the first time this has been. Disappointed and on the pricey side. There is a large quantity of food

This has been my go-to place for Chinese food for 20 years now. Delicious and you get a lot for your money. Especially good dumplings.
