"I’ve been coming here for 20 years. Was so happy to find a place that had good sweet and sour chicken. Sadly, the quality of the chicken prepared has gone way down. Used to be nice soft pieces of chicken breast, easy to chew. The last few times I’ve ordered it the chicken breast seems overcooked and so tough to chew. Hard to cut with a fork. I will still come for the fried rice which is the best but no longer ordering my favorite dish. I’ll got to Eric’s for that."

"This restaurant is located in the Mission District, so parking may be an issue. The restaurant was clean and not busy, but take out orders were off the hook. Service was friendly, helpful and fast. My food was packaged in the ziplock containers which smelled delicious. Since I eat in my car due to work this Chinese food kept me warm and full. Definitely a Return Visit will be made!"

"Ordered orange chicken, vegetable egg rolls, and hot and sour soup here, and was thoroughly impressed. The soup was a 7/10, not quite spicy, sour, or savory enough for my likings as served, but the red chili oil and soy sauce at the table helped balance it out nicely. Why 7/10 then? The ingredients were fresh, high quality, and well-curated. The consistency was perfect! The orange chicken was a 9.5/10, incredibly good quality meat, the breading was great, the serving was large, and the sauce was delicious. Not as sweet and sticky as many places, but more spicy and savory, which I’m usually opposed to. This place nailed it! Egg rolls were great too, and were very crunchy and had lots of flavor. Service was a 10/10, our server was very nice and attentive and kind. Prices were very reasonable here too! Another great thing is that they have an open kitchen, which gives me great trust in the food prep and cleanliness."

"I had a nice experience here and I’ll be back. I loved that they gave a complimentary tofu soup. The restaurant is spacious yet cozy. My Ginger Onion Beef dish was great! It also came with ride and a small salad. All "
