    I've been coming here for over 10 years, one of the better Chinese fast food in the area for the price you can't really go wrong since it's one of the more affordable in the area, I like the egg drop soup and honey chicken

    Food is delicious. Sometimes, you have to wait for chow mein or other dishes if they are out, but usually not too long. Some of the staff, mainly the cook, are not so friendly, which makes it a little uncomfortable. But you get a lot of food for your money. The place is small and only a few tables and the soda machine is always out of something.

    An alternative to Panda Express, this place offers old school Chinese American fare. There is value as the portions are generous and price is reasonable. I went old school with sesame chicken, sweet & sour pork with chow menu combo. They brought me back to times past and missed. The service was no non sense and the portions weren't measured. I would come back for more in the future when nostalgia presents itself. It's In the middle of Castro Valley Village shopping center is where it's located.
