Probably the best spot to stop at if you’re vegan and in the Twentynine Palms area. The portions are huge and the prices are fair, and it’s probably one of the last places before you get further west into California where rice comes with your meal free of charge. It’s a comfy space with friendly people, too. I came twice during my week in town.
The food was actually amazing. The service was good. I loved my wonton soup, noodles and spicy honey chicken. Ive been to this restaurants 3 times in November.
The egg drop soup is the best I've had in a long time since leaving Texas. I love it!! They have a good selection for lunch specials. Budget friendly as well. So come eat a lot of food for a low price!! Trust. Friendly service, fast timing and hot food. The food tasted fresh and well prepared.
We walked in today to grab some lunch to go and the food was great! Plenty of seating when we came in. It’s nice and clean. Staff are friendly. The food came out pretty quick. We asked for no peanuts and less veggies and they were accommodating about it. Still would’ve preferred even less veggies but because of the huge portion size, it worked out anyway. It’s too salty for my bland-food-only-husband, but to me it was perfect. So much flavor, I loved it.
So it's a small establishment that is perfect for friends and family. The plates are family style , and they do have lunch specials until 3 p.m The bathrooms are clean. The staff was friendly and helped us with our questions. . I ordered the egg soup in a cup and it was delicious. The curry was a little run down, but nonetheless was tasty and couldn't complain about the chicken and amount of veggies. Steam rice could be a little more fluffy and fresh. The green tea boba was lacking flavor but not overall bad. I will come back again.
Large portions, full service Chinese food. My kind of place. Spicy honey chicken was nice and saucy. Thought about getting a two item plate, but one was more than enough food. Good service from our waitress as well.
I walked up and down the street. This was the only restaurant that called me in with the smell of the food. The food did not disappoint. Everything was really good. The Cream Cheese Wontons are a must! The Chicken Lo Mein was really good. We also got the Combination How & Sour Soup. All plates were really good. The staff was super friendly and warm.
