This place has increased their quality of food tremendously! big pieces of meat and chicken, huge pieces of veggies that were very properly portioned. Their food honestly is the closest to what i tried in Tawian in El Paso, the flavor is great and it is very affordable .This place is definitely a hidden gem. looks like I don't need to look for another Chinese restaurant anytime soon.

The prices are fantastic, especially for their lunch specials. You get a lot of food for the price. Crab Rangoon is always delicious. My favorite dish is the sesame chicken.

If you are in the mood for some delicious Chinese food, this place is definitely the way to go. You get enormous portions cooked to order and a menu with some really great options. Better than me telling you, let me show you. And trust me when I tell you if you take advantage of this restaurant and what they have to offer, you will definitely not be disappointed. Hot, tasty food at a very, very reasonable price.
