This spot is a true neighborhood gem and has been a personal favorite for decades. The food is that amazing, unpretentious, 'if you know, you know' kind of good—it's classic comfort Chinese food that never disappoints. You might notice the interior is due for some updates, but that's part of the charm! The staff, especially Mr. Lee is friendly, the service is fast, and the food is always a winner. A must-try!
Been going here since I was a kid and I’m 25 now ,best Chinese spot in Memphis I promise you won’t go wrong
I didn't really eat anything but some Philly style eggrolls and they were quite good but I did feed my employees and all but one enjoyed their food. The service was delightful. Very family oriented. I will return!
Been coming here since the late 80s when the old man used to sit in the corner at the register. Somewhat of a family staple for us. 40 years later same great, same great taste.
