With only about six tables and a focus on takeout, this cozy spot serves flavorful dishes like the Chef's special fried rice loaded with shrimp and BBQ pork, and the Four Seasons beef dish featuring a medley of meats and vegetables in a lightly sweet brown sauce. The owner's kindness shines through, offering helpful parking advice despite nearby construction, and the portions strike a perfect balance between satisfying and manageable. While the absence of my favorite chicken salad is disappointing, the authentic flavors, quick service, and consistently tasty meals make it a solid choice for anyone craving comforting East Coast-style Chinese food.

The cozy restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, with only a few tables for dine-in customers. The Chef's special fried rice and the Four Seasons dish were both delicious choices, showcasing a perfect balance of flavors and generous portions. The owner's helpful guidance on parking and the family-owned business's resilience during challenging times make this place worth supporting.
