What People's Say About Place

This food is amazing; the veggie egg foo young is moist and full of flavor, gravy is rich and seasoned, crab rangoon is crispy. Portions are great, and prices are reasonable. Food is cooked fresh when ordered. Wait time was 20 minutes, but well worth it. Don't judge a book by its cover, this is a hidden gem

The best wonton soup that I had since I moved here from South East Asia. The flavor is authentic and refreshing, unlike all of the other "Asian" restaurants that I've tried before. Huge amount of food per serving. Best noodles in El Paso (points for authenticity). I'll be coming back.

This is a little gem in the northeast. The ambiance is relaxed and classy. I very much enjoyed my food (Kung Pao Chicken with fried rice). The portions were more than generous and was fairly priced. I definitely recommend!

Food was really tasty and you get a lot!! Would highly recommend this place and am definitely coming back!! Truly a hidden gem. Best Chinese food in El Paso!

It took us a minute to get seated, but the wait was worth it. Our food came out piping hot and fresh. Everything tasted amazing. The portions were large so we got the leftovers we were hoping for. Our waitress was amazing. I asked for a plastic cup for my youngest child and she made us one out of a to go bowl for soup since they didn't have any! We will definitely go back!!

The food was fresh and delicious. Portions sizes are great for the price. Our waitress was very kind and friendly. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Great atmosphere.

This is hands-down my favorite Chinese restaurant! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and delicious—every dish tastes like it’s made with care.
