Late night Chinese cash-only takeout spot with lots of unique fried rice dishes and specialty in lotus leaf dishes. Order on the phone or in-person for cheaper prices than online sites. I'd only use the online site to view menu items. Food: Their sides, "Beef Chow Fun" and "Dried Scallop w/ Seafood Fried Rice" were on point with flavors, quality, and texture. The "Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings" were just OK. I am definitely coming back for their sides. Going to need to try all their rice dishes!
