“ The food here is so consistently good. The restaurant is nothing fancy and they do a lot of takeout business these days but the food is always delicious and the portions generous. The Redwood Original Glazed Ribs are ridiculously good - the flavor of traditional Chinese barbecue pork in very tender rib pieces. ”
“ This is a wonderful place for a quick yummy lunch! They have many great options but my favorite dishes are the Sichuan style for a spicy kick The lady owner is always very friendly. The ambiance is quiet and laid back. ”
“ Good food in a relatively quiet corner of Los Altos. The servers are friendly even though I am mostly there for takeout. My daughter love their burgers! ”
“ I used to come here more frequently when I worked in RWC but the flavors and portion sizes still hit. Get the lunch special for a better deal, as they feature a main dish, soup, and rice. I love their salt and pepper fish and the soup is always good! Service is nice and friendly and they are quick to bring out the food. The flavors taste just like I remember, and friends I've brought here enjoy the taste and prices too. A solid choice for Chinese food! ”
“ TOTALLY hits the spot that is why I love coming here when I am in the area. Always incredibly nice family. Thank you for everything always ”
“ Food: 4-5/5 Service: Standard, didn't lack anything Ambiance: Casual Value: 4/5 We ordered the chongqing style beef, cabbage, cold noodles w/ chicken and dumplings. The Chongqing style beef is definitely a specialty item and more "unique" where you may not find it at every Chinese restaurant. This was my favorite dish and imo really good. The cabbage was tasty and the rest of dishes were good, but nothing mind blowing. Service was standard where we got refills timely and food came out quick, but nothing above and beyond. I would come back again for certain dishes and that comfort feeling. ”
