Large parking lot shared with a church so being Sunday it was busy. Walking in the place was super clean, employees were busy and getting things done. Hostess sat us at our table with our server who introduced herself as Mai, she was super helpful and explained the lunch menu. The food was delicious. I had the egg drop soup that had mushrooms in it and made it so much better. I added pepper because I like it. Did not need to add salt. I had the chicken and fresh mushroom but I wanted some spice added to it and it was perfect. Egg roll was super hot and everything was beyond fresh. I had to wait for to cool down but I did eat some as first because it was so good. And I had to do the hasafras thing with my mouth open. Mai was amazing and I will be back again.

I have been coming here for years. Their ingredients have always been fresh, and the food is fantastic. The waitstaff does a good job, and the interior is a simple but dated style. That said, it is a comfortable restaurant. I believe they have the best egg drop soup I have had anywhere. It is fantastic. I also love the way they prepare their beef dishes and egg rolls. The beef broccoli and Mongolian beef are standouts. I already want to go back as I type this review!
