Absolutely delicious food! 椒盐嫩豆腐 Salted Pepper Tofu was the best ive had. Ive had a bite of each item - 孜然菠萝炒饭 Cumin Fried Rice with Pineapple delish - took a gamble. Everything warm and arrived quickly!

NOTE: I love sweet & sour sauce & have my own, thank goodness! They provide chili sauce with 葱油饼 Green Onion Cake but no sweet-and-sour. I highly recommend you call to request cuz it's SO GOOD!
We love the green onion pancakes & highly recommend if you're on the fence, even if youre not an onion fan. Theyre not overpowering at all! They're kinda crisp on outside with softer, chewy layers on the inside that just pull apart! The green onions are more seasoning/garnish, it's the fried pancakes" dough's decadent texture to me that's the star of the show!
If you've never had them they remind me of a quesadilla without actually having cheese, so good for vegans? I'd ask what oil they use but my guess is plant-based & though I don't really taste it, recipes usually list sesame oil as well.
I got hooked on green onion pancakes many years ago (at Canada College in Redwood City late 90s) when they were the cheapest thing sold in the cafeteria. $1 for small quesadilla size. Hadn't had since til we moved back & to this part of county. Now my picky daughter is also obsessed.
At first glance they Seem pricey for what they are, but portions are generous & filling!

The beef chow fun wasn that great. There was hardly any beef at all and it lacked flavor. The noodles were good though. The soup dumplings and garlic string beans are where it's at.

The dumplings from here are my favorite in the area. The fillings are super yummy and they are always freshly prepared

All of dumplings are so delicious!! I love the Hot & Sour Soup, Garlic String Beans, Spice Wonton, and more. Definitely one of my favorite places, well priced (not expensive) and it's a hidden gem.
