Amazing food, I have now been here twice in about a week and both times I have enjoyed them. Their carry out is great as well as in service dining. Favorite thing so far is there won tong soup/slizzing rice soup! Best Chinese restaurant I will stand by that completely!

I stopped and ate here for Christmas. I had the privilege and honor of speaking with the owner and we talked about life and family as he was also there alone. I was the last customer and James really was not planning on opening that day but something told him to. He has been serving this community for over 40 years and I felt the love and hospitality. Thank you!

The freshest and best Chinese you will ever eat in Bakersfield. No mass production. Soups are full of vegetables and meats and seafood. No watered down egg soup here. Small local business that needs our patronage. You won't regret it. Once people go, they go for years. Try it out.

This food is the best American Chinese in town. I love that the dishes have distinct flavors and everything doesn't taste the same. It's an older restaurant, in a rough neighborhood, but I've never had any trouble there.

It may look run down from the outside but inside is a beautiful restaurant that is covered in beautiful art. The service is amazing. The food was beyond even my wildest expectations and I will be returning as often as I can!

I've lived in the east side for almost 6 years and I've only had this one time and it was delicious! I got there 5 minute before closing and they still took my order and not just that the food was made fresh! No fast food here I can tell you that! I will be going here from now on and also this Chinese food doesn't make you wonder if you're actually eating chicken or if it's something else!

This a great family owned Chinese restaurant. It's in the ghetto and it is not fancy at all, but the food is flavorful, the portions are good, and prices are fair. Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh, and fast. I asked for my Kung Pao spicy and they delivered. My wife and were both pleased and we'd drive across town for it again. The restaurant itself is a little run down.
