Feels family owned and operated. Have been going here for many years and always get a great meal with nice portions and friendly staff.
Simply the best, most nostalgic Chinese restaurant in West Linn! The egg flower soup was soooo good and the beef and broccoli. Service was excellent and homey. I just love this place!
Really good Chinese food with great prices and portions! We had the General Tso's Chicken, fried shrimp, Lo Mein, and Broccoli Beef. We don't get Chinese all the time but this is our new favorite!
I've never been disappointed here. The food is great and the staff are wonderful! This is a great family! We've been coming here for many years and keep coming back even after moving farther away.
