Despite its small atmosphere, everything about this restaurant is very good. The meals are cooked to perfection and taste authentic, including but not limited to the fried rice and sweet sauce. The Kung Pao dishes also have the perfect amount of spiciness for my taste buds. There is absolutely nothing negative I can say about this restaurant. I would definitely recommend it to people interested in feasting on Chinese/Cantonese cuisine.

It's a small little hole in the wall. Tried it for the first time, the service was great. The food was yummy and flavorful. The portions are of good size. Give it a try, I'll be going back to try other dishes
