    Amazing food, I have now been here twice in about a week and both times I have enjoyed them. Their carry out is great as well as in service dining. Favorite thing so far is there won tong soup/slizzing rice soup! Best Chinese restaurant I will stand by that completely!

    I stopped and ate here for Christmas. I had the privilege and honor of speaking with the owner and we talked about life and family as he was also there alone. I was the last customer and James really was not planning on opening that day but something told him to. He has been serving this community for over 40 years and I felt the love and hospitality. Thank you!

    The freshest and best Chinese you will ever eat in Bakersfield. No mass production. Soups are full of vegetables and meats and seafood. No watered down egg soup here. Small local business that needs our patronage. You won't regret it. Once people go, they go for years. Try it out.
