This place is the ONLY Chinese restaurant to still serve true egg foo young. Still just as good, since I was a kid coming with my parents over forty years. Great Chinese food. There are others around, but this is my go to.

Best food in the area

This place used to be good, now the food has a lack of flavor and since they reopened it's way over price and portion are smaller. The trifecta of a looser restaurant.

I agree with the others...it would be very beneficial for you to offer delivery service. Do you know how many of us who live in south Salinas would love to have Chinese food delivered, instead of pizza (the only food that delivers here)? You are missing out on a lot of business for those of us who cannot go to your restaurant.

I remember when I was a kid in the 70's my grand parents use to take me here on Saturday nights before going to the Filipino hall for music and dance. Good memories. I wonder if the same family still owns it.
