Very crowded during lunch or dinner time. Expect long waiting time before you get seated. First time tried this restaurant. Got it from Yelp good reviews. Menu was quite varied. Taste was good. Prices moderate but customer service was horrible. The waitresses was not too friendly, maybe because it's busy hours.

It is located inside the building which also house the 99 Ranch Market. A Tiny little Chinese Diner but cooks up some big flavors. There is no ambiance worth mentioning, same goes to the service, just adequate. We ordered these great tasting dishes, the small table quickly crowded up as the dishes arrive. 1) Sauteed Shrimp in White Sauce: Excellent. 2) Stir Fried Rice Cake with Sliced Pork in Brown Sauce: Excellent. 3) Fish and Leek Steamed Dumplings: Excellent. 4) Sliced Pork Noodle: Disappointing. Judging from this bowl of noodles was the first order on our table in a short two minutes, I'm pretty sure they pre-cooked the noodles, it's been sitting in the kitchen getting cold, they just poured the hot toppings and soup on top, the result is you get as bowl of warm noodles, not fresh-cooked hot as it should be. Lacking the sense of finesse. Also, I don't think they have soda fountains, so, you might get a cup of ice and a can of soda. All in all, good food, not much else.

Great place for green onion pancakes, beef noodle soup, and dumplings; located in the Ranch 99 Plaza. There can be a wait, so check the waitlist and prepare accordingly.

Here for their famous Black Bean Noodle and house special chicken (marinated chicken with cucumber). Very nice combo for two people while the jajangmyeon is one of the best in town if you are craving for black bean noodles and the portion of the chick is very generous for the price. Not a fancy restaurant but the one you will keep coming back.

One of our favorite authentic Chinese Restaurants. Love their fast and friendly service. It's gets pretty busy so there's a chance you have to wait for a table. If so, go grocery shopping at 99 ranch.

My family has eaten here for a while. We love their puff shrimp in a sweet and spicy sauce, pot stickers, and sweet and sour soup. The beef onion pancake roll is pretty tasty but the pancake to beef ratio is too high. The cucumber salad and veggie dumplings — ok but can pass. All in all a very solid place and recommend going. I would give a 4.5 if I could.
