Definitely still one of the best Cantonese foods. It's the perfect example of a hole-in-the-wall place. Don't expect fancy decor, clean floors, or bathrooms. Expect good food at a really affordable price. For a family of 10 with 10 dishes, it came out to around $120 not including the tip.

How is this placed not packed constantly?! Hands down some of the best Cantonese we've ever at the most lowest prices. We ordered 7 delicious dishes and it was $90!! The service was so quick and the ladies were so sweet and attentive! By far one of our favorite places now. 5/5! Free outside parking

A place where you need to order the Pork salt ribs. Service is what you expect in a Chinese restaurant and this is not a place you go for the ambience. Happy eating!

The fried pork ribs are to die for!!!!!!! I could eat this for days. The fried rice is one of the best in the city- it's got a rich dark color to it and a nice flame kissed aroma. The chicken wings are incredibly crispy and have a lovely taste- less is absolutely more. Portions are generous for the price. This is my new go to for Chinese

I've been coming here almost 10 years now. The one thing I can say about this place is they are consistent. They don't tweak recipes. The recipe,the portions nothing changed. My waitress remembered my kids when they were little. Food was great. This week I tried the Egg Foo Young with pork very good. We tried their Beijing ribs they were great. I wish they were closer but we make the drive. Call ahead and make sure they are open. One weird day of the week they are closed, I can't remember if it's Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Wow, the last time I ate here was in 2001. You read it right! I rarely come to this part of town as it isn't safe, especially at night. Besides there are so many good options inside the Beltway. Had the Cantonese pan fried crispy noodles, Beijing style pork ribs and fish tofus. Big portions and tasted ok. Didn't care for the fish tofus since they tasted a bit bitter. A bit too dry on the ribs but good flavor. Glad I took my husband to this hole in a wall place. No change in decoration and serve staff.
