“ Truly the best of the best! The crown jewel of Los Angeles. This food is as good as it gets. I have been coming here for over 30 years, and it is still going strong. The food is great. The prices are unbeatable. I love the soups, sandwiches, Chinese, Vietnamese, noodles, rice, chicken, beef, pork, vegetables, and on and on. The rare beef and beef ball pho is awesome and huge. I cannot possibly finish it in one sitting. Beef with broccoli has a lot of broccoli and beef with a just right amount of sauce. The pork chops are perfectly seasoned and cooked. I don't know how they make them so tender and lean. The chop suey combination here is not too thick in sauce, different from most other places where they also put eggs. There is plenty of shrimps, chicken, and beef in it along with a nice portion of vegetables. Mixed vegetables was very tasty especially when I asked for no salt in it. The sweet and sour chicken was my kids favorite. They fought up to the last piece. My personal favorite was mapo tofu, which had ground beef. It was nice when I mixed it with rice. Lemonade and Thai Ice tea we're freshly made. I just had hot tea, which quenched thirst as well as dissolved all oil in the stir fried food. This place is a very special place indeed. I pray that it will be around for at least another three decades. No place can beat the price, food, and service. The servers may not speak English well, but they are nice enough, being not pretentious or stuffy. For what you pay, the service here is more than good enough. The main server guy with a permanent smile on his face is amazing! Love it! ”
