Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

This small mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant is a hidden gem if you’re looking for fresh food and friendly service. The dining area is modest, with around 10 tables, but it’s clean, comfortable, and has a welcoming neighborhood feel. The young man who took our order was polite, patient, and very attentive, checking in to make sure everything was going well without being intrusive. The food was prepared fresh and had great flavor. Everything tasted hot and well-seasoned, not greasy, and clearly made with care. Portion sizes were decent and filling, especially considering the very reasonable prices. Some of the entrees include your choice of egg flower or hot and sour soup. They even have a small lunch special menu that includes an appetizer, an entree, and white rice or pork fried rice. You definitely get good value for what you pay here. We tried the salmon puffs and they were so delicious! Will definitely be back again for those! While it’s not a large or upscale restaurant, the combination of tasty food, fair pricing, and genuinely kind service makes this a place worth coming back to. A solid 4-star spot for casual dining and takeout alike.

Absolutely the best food! The crab puffs/salad/egg flower soup amazing! Got the pong pong chicken, cooked perfectly with great flavor. Definitely on my top food restaurants now, will be back. Also the customer service was great, very inviting people.

After reading the good reviews on Corner of Tastes, we decided to give it a try. Apparently it has been in operation since 2022 and we didn't know it existed. Except for someone coming in for a togo order, we were the only ones in the restaurant at lunchtime. We tried the lunch menu for $13.00. There are a lot of options. It includes egg drop or hot and sour soup, an appetizer, entree and fried or regular rice. Our entrees were pong pong chicken and garlic chicken. I had the crab puffs and my husband had the barbecue pork. We both had fried rice. Both the pong pong and the garlic chicken were very good. The only minor criticism might be the chicken was a tad overdone. The barbecue pork was moist and the crab puffs were good. We were impressed with the quantity and quality of the food for a very reasonable price.
