I wanted to make a special mention of this place since I was staying next door at the Motel 6 and I think it deserves a mention. Firstly, I grew up in a chinese takeaway and this place brought back a lot of memories. The owner reminded me of my mum when I was growing up. Ok, the seating area is small-ish and fairly standard. The menus feature a lot of the usual Canton/HK fare. However I tried the beef horfun lunch special and its exactly how the best ones are made. Lots of noodles and onion, plus a good amount of tender beef. A very good price, especially for Pasadena. For dinner, the black bean fish, salt'n'pepper chicken and broccoli/sausage fried rice was delicious and VERY generous. The vegetarian hot and sour soup was standard, but the owner kindly gave me a few egg rolls too which were hot and tasty. Highly recommend.

Excellent Chinese food that is affordable. I have been here three different times for both dine-in and carryouts and so far I haven’t been disappointed.
