Good spot hidden away inside Pelton Plaza. The lunch combos are great. Love the mapo tofu here. Generous portion for the lunch special, comes with a small salad, big scoop of rice, and 1 crunchy egg roll. The mapo tofu is not too spicy and tastes great.
Glad you found us in Pelton Plaza! The mapo tofu is a favorite of mine too. Thanks for stopping by!
Very tasty food, beautifully presented.Went here and had the lunch special. Beyond my expectations, will definitely come again.
Service was very disappointing. The staff seemed rude and inattentive, and the food quality was below expectations. I wouldn’t come back.
"Overpriced, tiny portions, terrible service, and to make it worse, the food was cold even though it had just been brought out."
This is a family owned restaurant, the food and services was so great, they have lunch special all day for 14.99 steamed rice, vegetables spring rolls & salad you can’t beat that. I tried the fried chicken cake and some garlic mussels, very tasty! The place is clean and very welcoming. I would totally become their number one customer after the services
Thanks, Emily! Glad you enjoyed the fried chicken cake and garlic mussels. Hope to see you back soon!
忍不住说两句，这家餐厅真是太差了，我们点了三个菜，一个螃蟹，一个牛蛙，一个农家一碗香，首先，菜品的分量比较小，一盘牛蛙三分之二都是青椒和洋葱，牛蛙切的很碎。螃蟹口感也很一般，最差的是那个农家一碗香，除了鸡蛋有点咸味，肉片几乎没有任何味道，里面也是很多青椒和洋葱，最重要的是，三个菜都放了太多太多的油，除了油腻，几乎没有什么香味！不会再去了……
The food was very good and flavorful. More authentic dishes and served very hot. Will definitely go back again. A plus is that they also have catering too.

FYI: Not a Malatang spot anymore. Google gotta fix that. Really really good food. Orange chicken was nice and crispy, good cuts and well trimmed. Cumin beef was tasty, well spiced, and had a good amount of fresh ingredients. Chow Mein was really nice as well. I think it was chicken and minced pork belly. Pork belly was well spiced and the noodles werent too oily. Cabbage had some nice browning on it. Steamed dumplings were good. I cant think of anything specific to say but definitely tasty and fresh. Cute place. Definitely a family run place, nice and cozy. Will be my go to when I want Chinese. Highly recommend you give it a try.

Got to check this spot out. It came on my Instagram feed. At first I had ordered it through DoorDash but they ran out of a food that was a fried chicken so I did not get to try it. So I drove down and got to check out the restaurant. It's a small establishment a little bit bare but not too flashy. The service was really fast and they were very nice. Since they didn't have fried chicken she recommended me the sea salt fish. It was really good and a great selection. And since they were out of fried chicken they switched it over the fish was a little bit more but she covered it. That was really nice of her. The prices are worth how much you get. And there are very sweet and very nice and if I need anything as it was it to go order they took care of it. The food is really amazing and hits the spot. Definitely if you have time check it out and look it up. A good family restaurant.

Amazing Chinese food! We loved everything we tried: Seaweed salad, dumplings, fried rice and orange chicken- everything was very delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. Super kid friendly - the atmosphere is ok for a regular day, nothing fancy but you have everything you need. Can’t wait to come back! I decided to be silly with the pictures since everything was so good!
