This is a must visit if you are traveling through it love in El Paso. Best egg drop soup, hands down. Go during lunch hours and get a soup and egg rolls with your meal. Stellar customer service, though it can get busy at times. Everything is great on the menu and they have vegetarian options too.

I absolutely love this place. It has the best hot and sour soup as well as the best mapo tofu in town. The experience we had tonight was as great as ever. There was 5 of us in our party. Everyone's food was so tasty and hot. The dinner portions were shareable. They made half portions for my children that were just the right size. Our drinks were filled constantly and the restaurant was clean. The wait staff was busy, but they teamed up and all took turns taking care of us. They do charge a 15% gratuity for parties of 5 and an 18% gratuity for parties larger than 8. We didn't mind paying automatic gratuity one bit. The servers deserved well above that. I highly recommend this restaurant. Atmosphere, great service, and quality food make for a great dining experience and this restaurant hits the mark every time.

Really enjoyed my meal here and the friendly, attentive customer service I received here. Chinese food is usually not my go to meal but everyone else loves Chinese food so I didn’t bother to take a photo of my meal because I was not expecting much BUT boy was I wrong this time. The egg rolls were the absolutely best and even ordered some extra to go. I had a pork dish with bean sprouts, green onions, on the spicy side, that was super delicious and will ONLY ever come to this establishment for authentic Chinese food. Worth the drive from the northeast plus the customer service is top tier. This place changed my mind about Chinese food, this is authentic and how it should taste like coming from an international foodie who travels. Keep in mind this is not a buffet but rather a la carte. Portions and quality are superb!! Highly recommend!

Awesome restaurant!!! The place is a little old but damn the food was good. It’s actually very clean despite the condition of the building. Vegetarian friendly! The lunch special is where it’s at. You get so much food for a good price. So worth it! The egg rolls are not vegetarian but they are amazing! Really crispy and not lacking filling. Service was quick and server was super nice & friendly. She helped me pick a vegetarian dish. The lunch special comes with your dish, rice, soup, and egg rolls. I ordered the home style tofu and I think my husband ordered the orange chicken.

1st visit since Covid lockdown. 2 groups waiting at 1100 opening. Immed seating; well distanced rables; masked server & hostess; bottled sanitizer on each table. Guests masked upon arrival. New menu EZ to select. V nice selection. My group of 4. All agreed food quality great as ever. W tooth extraction days ago, i was limited to egg drop soup (authentic & tasty) and best fried dumplings in town. Never been to China; but all China towns on E and W coast n between. Spring rolls too. Friends had beef, brocolli plates. Equally pleased. V V attentive, courteous and top of their game. Do NOT overlook SD.
