Their Steamed Char Siu Bao Pork Buns Tho'! Another Tasty Treat! Quality has gone down over the years "BUT", It's STILL Much Better than What One Will Find throughout LA, The SGV & OC (My Own Opinion)

Their Egg Custards 💣- To Me Personally, Their Quality has gone down over the years "BUT", It's Still Much, Much Better than Most one will find throughout LA and The SGV (My Own Opinion) Try Yourself!

Their Famous Steamed Siu Mai! Mix it with Soy Sauce, Their Dark House Chiu Chow Hot Sauce & Bring some Hot Mustard from Home (They don't have Hot Mustard) and Mix it All Together! 👍

Get the siumai (listed as pork dumpling), pork bao, and almond cookies to go! Their glazed BBQ pork bun is a great value -- 65 cents each and three times the size what you get at a dimsum breakfast.

This is the standard Cantonese Chinese food. Lots of sweet and sour dishes. The Chinese rice cakes are good. The parking lot is small.

Food is good & cheap here, perfect from all that walking & shopping! Then stop by bakery side & get steamed pork buns & chicken buns to go. Coconut buns & Seasame buns are always soft & fresh too.

Their soimai is one of the best tasting siomai around, make sure you try it even for just once.
Darius A.October 14, 2012
Baked or steamed siopao are a definite must, followed by some red bean buns and a cold Tsingtao to wash it all down.

Shrimp egg foo young was enjoyable .. extensive menu to explore
Kenneth YoungMarch 17, 2019
Food is really good but the service is 🤷‍♂️ make sure you get everything you need because they will leave you hanging if you need something later

Be sure to order the chop suey. It's so good, it'll make you want to stop what you're doing and call your mom! To quote Chevy Chase: "Alleluia! Wholly $h!t!!!"

The (baked) bbq pork buns are SO delicious. 90cents each. Good size. Sweet glaze on the outside, savory juicy pork on the inside. :))

First time here & their food is good. Normally go to Golden Dragon, but Won Kok just beat them!
Scott KreitmanMarch 28, 2014
The veggie chop suey was so fresh and so clean. So unexpected from this 70s time warp.
Philip GarreltsJuly 31, 2013
It was really good and the portions are huge!! They just need to work on their service cuz they were a little slow

Safest spot in downtown after midnight. This is where the cops (and the metro workers, and the mariachi) eat!
David EsquireFebruary 24, 2013
This place is open till 3:00 am and if the locals are eating here, you know it's awesome! :-)

They started charging for lemon slices it's not even on the menu and I wasn't warned Id be charged before ordering alot. The spring rolls are sure to clog your arteries they drip a ton of grease

The Chow Mein is so bland. I had to add soy sauce to give it flavor. Pass on it guys.
