This place is near work, so it's a quick bite to eat most times. The restaurant is pretty spacious, mostly 1-4 seating but they'll accommodate more if needed. Their lunch special is pretty reasonable priced, you get an egg roll and a slice of orange and soup! I love their corn and egg soup, whereas my coworkers like their spicy soup, hot and sour? Go early because it does get packed! They do have take out and they deliver for a fee. Their chow fun is not your typical style (HK style) their style is more Shanghai, their dry style is a little moist for me. A co-worker loves to alter the chow fun to 'beef stew, black bean, bok choy, dried chow fun' try that! I like it, minus the black bean. You can pretty much alter most of the dishes. Like Mongolian beef chow fun, it's not on the menu but you could ask for it. I deducted a star because I recently went and asked for wonton and noodles in soup ONLY and the lady kept asking me what meat I wanted. But I only wanted wonton and noods. In the end, only 2 wonton, a big mess of veggies and chicken ended up on my plate. Def will be back if we are craving Chinese food!

Love this place. Everyone at work orders daily from them. Chinese food you can count on to be consistency delicious made with quality ingredients. I ordered the fried prawns, you get about 9 for 7 or 8 bucks. Lunch special includes a healthy portion of your entree choice, rice and an egg roll for 7. 95. I had the Mongolian beef and I ordered curried chicken fir my husband for dinner. Delivery if you need the service is swift. They will take payment by phone, just know you have to sign upon delivery. The food is delicious!!! And inexpensive!

Definitely don't understand the hate on this place from other reviewers. It's so inexpensive, and it's always hot and flavorful when it arrives to your table. I'm here once a week, as it's walking distance from my office, and is approximately half the price of most places around it. For $8.75 or less at lunch time, you get hot tea, a cup of soup (hot-n-sour or egg drop), and a GENEROUS plate of food with rice and an egg roll. The restaurant is clean, and service is quick and friendly. Is it the best Chinese you'll ever have? Nope. Best value in SF? Probably!

On this cold day I placed an order for a large, HOT order of combination wonton soup. EXCELLENT, that they delivered! The soup arrived in less than 30 mins, and the soup was steaming out. The meat, and shrimp were tender, and good veggies. I will place an order again.
