I came in on a Sunday afternoon and have not been to eat here for quite some time. The food was great. I got chicken subgum, and maybe it don't look very great to some. It exceeded my expectations on flavor. I loved it, and would love to see it without the chicken and more celery. Fried rice and pork were great. Also sesame chicken. Hot mustard is house made and very tasty. I will be back, maybe on a weekday to see if there is a lunch menu.
This one is one of my favorite Chinese food in town. Oh, I would say best Chinese food in town. They're always friendly and nice always got big of a smile on their faces. Every time we order foods are great overall good food good people.
Fabulous home made cuisine. Loaded with fresh flavorful ingredients. Highly recommend
The best dishes are on the board, and not the menu. The crispy sechuan tofu is delicious, but only if you really like spice. The tofu hot pot comes with tofu smothered in chili oil, garlic, ground pork, peanuts, a fried egg, and onions. Cute kitschy Lynch vibes in a weird Americana time capsule.
This little restaurant was the first place I went to eat, after moving to The Dalles a little over a year ago. It is now my go-to for Chinese food in The Dalles! The family who runs it are warm and friendly people and the service is very good. The food is always fresh and hot, with great flavor! It is reasonably priced and the portions are large.
