Wasn't expecting much but was blown away by how good the food was. We ordered mongolian beef, honey walnut shrimp and combination fried rice.
Drove 4 hrs and somehow was craving for some Chinese food.
Im a sucker for salt and pepper pork. Every Chinese place I go to I have to try. Well, it was mediocre. Salty, not much other flavor.
Sweet and sour pork had a weird after taste to it. Not terrible but weird
War won ton soup was really good. We finished that up in no time.
Service was actually nice. Lady was kind to my 2 years old.

Tasty, fresh, authentic Chinese cuisine with good size portions. Reasonably priced. I’d recommend this place if you love Chinese food! If not crowded they will accommodate substitutions and special requests. We had the gluten free rice noodle with tofu, mushroom delight, snow peas with water chestnuts and stir fried green beans.
I’ve driven past this place plenty of times while here in Tahoe and haven’t ever thought of stopping. Craving Chinese food brought me in today.
Place was super quiet, and we were the only people dining here. Phone rang the whole time with people placing orders to go, probably since it’s so cold and snowy outside.
Tried the chicken and broccoli lunch special and sweet and sour chicken lunch special as well. They also come with hot and sour soup or egg drop if you choose and egg roll. Food was super hot when it came out, which was great!
Loved everything! Two meals and two sodas only came to $29 for the bill, which was crazy and well worth it!

The dinner set is everything you will ever need. Everything from the wonton soup to the entree to the fried rice is very well-made and highly presentable. Would highly recommend the double-cooked pork, as it is a personal favorite, and this place went above and beyond on this dish.
The mixed veggies are also very good. I can count at least 8 different vegetables in there and they all taste fabulous. It's not easy to say this about many Chinese restaurants.
The place was really understaffed and service was understandably slow, but they were very kind and was really speedy once they got our order. Can't think of a better spot for authentic, delicious Chinese food in the area.

So I will start by saying I was in the mood for Thai as we landed at this place, so my choice may not have been for this place. The pad thai was pretty good but the curry didn't taste too much like curry I have had. We arrived somewhat early but no one else was dining in so a bit skeptical. But the staff was friendly and great. Others in my group mostly enjoyed their food but some didn't have too glowing of reviews. I'd stick to more traditional Chinese fare here. Portions were good size especially for the price.
Worth the money. Tiny place, we found a seat quickly. I got a great offer on a meal I wanted with a bit more on the plate which was a great deal. Our appetizers were the right amount and our food was hot and fresh. Will be returning! So delicious.
Food and service were good and fast. It wasn't crowded; customers were seated with one empty table from each other. We ordered Hot & Sour Soup, General's Chicken, Sizzling Seafood Platter, and Chow Fun. There were many take out orders (incoming calls, walk-ins, and pickup).
