“I was pretty satisfied with my visit. I ordered a lunch special to dine in, another to go and a drink and it came out under 20 bucks. Solid food, and a great value for the money i spent.”

“This was my first time ordering takeout from here, and the food was very delicious. Everything was so flavorful, and I would definitely order again. The pork fried rice was great—exactly how I like it, without peas and carrots. Next time, I’m definitely getting the barbecue.”

— Barachel Johnson★★★★★
“We went because the reviews were good and pictures looked good. But I'm starting to think people in El Paso don't know what good Chinese food really is. The crab ragoon's and egg drop soup were delicious. Unfortunately our main dishes not so much. Very very greasy and oily. We only ended up eating a few bites and decided it wasn't for us. The staff however was very sweet and kind despite being so busy.”
