I love the Kaiser fish, the green beans w extra seasoning, and the Walnut Prawns. That's my go to. I also tried the lamb for the first time (a friend had it) a while back and it was good.

Traditional Chinese food is made exceptionally well. The prices are reasonable, and the business has been on Piedmont Avenue for at least ten years. I recommend their WarWonton soup. Broccoli beef has lots of beef WAlgreens. Combination fried rice Combination, chow mein, always let them know if you want it cooked a certain way. They aim to please.

We ordered to cater lunch for our pro women's ultimate frisbee team (Bay Area Falcons! Look us up!) and they were incredibly accommodating! We got: - eggplant tofu - orange chicken - Mongolian beef - mixed veg - garlicy green beans - veggie chow fun - veggie fried rice - Mongolian tofu They also provided sesame balls and egg rolls, which were great! The food was solid, not the best Chinese I have ever had but it really hit the spot after a day of running around outside, and provided more than enough food to ~33 hungry adults!

This is more an fyi heads up than a true review. If you want to dine in, you need to make a reservation. They don't allow walk-ins. So it's mostly a take-out operation now. That's because there is only one person manning (womanning ?) the tables. I didn't get her name, but it may have been Holly. She certainly acted like she was Holly. Total owner vibe with very heartfelt suggestions for food, and even recommended a great off-menu vegetable dish--Gao choy (don't know the English) with deep-fried tofu custard cubes. It was delicious. Also had the 3 mushroom beef and fish filet (with her recommended eggplant). These were just ok. So food was 3.5 stars, and service and server engagement were 4.5.
