This is my favorite Chinese spot (Mexicali style Chinese) and I absolutely have to stop every time I go through El Centro. My dad used to take us there as kids and it was my first experience into Chinese food, although I found out later in life that it’s completely different that real Chinese food and that I was enjoying Mexicali style. My go to is the Mongolian beef. It’s very flavorful and well cooked and comes with fried rice and chicken chow mein. The service is fast and friendly too. Thank you to the staff and I hope the family keeps this place open for generations to come.

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.

Our server was so nice and helpful suggesting certain dishes from the menu and he was right.

Very nice place! The portions are huge 😃 so you don't need to order a lot of dishes. They have a lunch menu, so it's enough to stay full. Also we ordered chicken soup, it was so delicious 😋
