For decades

Dressed up, never stuffy.

White tablecloths, a cocktail from the bar, kung pao chicken still hot from the kitchen, and nobody in a hurry. Up in the La Cañada Flintridge hills, the neighborhood keeps coming back.

The menu runs from the Chinese classics to the house dishes with people’s names on them.

  1. Best Chinese in the city the cutest and friendliest chefs and staff 100% recommend come down and show some love🥹💗

  2. The food here isn’t oily like typical Chinese cuisine, and I loved that they don’t over-use MSG or sugar. It tastes very clean and healthy. On top of that, the staff were incredibly kind and provided excellent service.

  3. Finally! A Chinese restaurant that will accommodate gluten free needs! I found out about this restaurant from a gluten-free Los Angeles Facebook group. We ordered chicken chow fun, shrimp fried rice, orange chicken and the black bean sole. Everything was delicious!!! The staff members were also friendly and helpful. This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant!
