It's not really Chinese. It is Chinese American. BUT it was good and inexpensive. The service was great, and it was quick. Place was nicely decorated and pleasant for a little restaurant. The beef chow mein and the sesame chicken we had were good. I think that this is the most reasonably priced meal in the area.

Visiting North Tahoe during holiday and recommend this place if you want to try Asian food. We ordered Mongolian Beef and House Special Chow Fun (本楼炒河粉). The beef are cooked in a very tender way for both of the dishes with correct Cantonese seasoning to balance the flavor. The Mongolian Beef tastes similar like Beijing-styled stir-fried meat (炙子烤肉), which originates from North China by Mongolian Chinese and Manchus. The owner of the restaurant is so nice that she seemed to have a very good relationship with all her returning guests when they visited. The only pity is that we did not order their famous Beef Egg Foo Young (嫩牛芙蓉炸蛋) because one guy ordered tons of them during lunch and sold out. Will return this place when visiting Tahoe next time.

We're looking for Chinese food in the area. We really weren't expecting much, after looking at the reviews. But, the food was really good!! I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for something filling, and not fast food.

First off, we had very LOW expectations coming here after reading the Yelp reviews. (I also know many people only write reviews when they are dissatisfied.) That being said, we all wanted Chinese food that wasn't Panda Express, and this seemed like the best (and only) option during our Truckee vacation. When we arrived we were told by the lady in the front to sit at a table and that she'd be with us in 7 minutes because she had other orders ahead of ours. Ok...? We'll the menu is extensive and there is definitely something for everyone, which is nice. All of the traditional Chinese dishes are listed. When we placed our order, we wanted both a bowl of hot and sour soup and a bowl of egg drop soup to share amongst our family of 4. The waitress told us they could only make one type of soup and we had to pick one. Ok...? So we ordered the egg drop soup and an order of egg rolls. They came out fairly quickly and all were very delicious. The egg drop soup was a tad bland (I really wanted hot and sour soup) but I added some chili sauce that they brought out and it gave it a nice little kick. When the food arrived, we were VERY impressed. The pictures in the menu do NOT do it justice. The orange chicken was so flavorful and delicious, with tender chunks of chicken and not too much breading. We also ordered Broccoli Beef, Chicken with Vegetables, and Walnut Shrimp. (They were out of walnuts so the waitress asked if we wanted almonds or cashew instead.) Kinda random but it was fine. Our kids (15 & 13 yo) loved the food and my husband and I were pleasantly surprised (and relieved!) We left full and happy. I only give this restaurant 4 stars because the service was somewhat poor (blunt waitress, did not check on us, didn't accommodate our request for two soups) , and the ambience is old and very run down. However, if you're not a stickler for ambience or service, and just want a good meal, don't pass this spot up the next time you're in Truckee. We would definitely eat here again!

Only game in town catering to non asian taste. Nice size interior for indoor dining. Fish tanks with no fishey's in the tanks. They really didn't have a whole lot on the menu that interested me, I settled on curry chicken, big mistake for me. The curry was spicy enough for me after adding some white pepper, no decent asian restaurant is complete without it. However one of the biggest turnoffs to me is white meat chicken, that particular part of the chicken should only be relegated to the garbage container or for animal feed, You get the picture I abhor white meat chicken. A proper Asian restaurant would not serve this meat for its ingredients unless it were the whole chicken like salt baked chicken or soy sauce chicken or any other chicken cooked using the whole chicken. The next visit, I will order the curry beef instead either that or bring in dark meat chicken for them to use instead. The positive is the curry has a very good flavour and a definite go to. The restaurant staff/owners were wonderful and very inviting people. Unfortunately if you are searching for authentic Chinese cuisine, you would be a little on the disappointed side, otherwise their food is reasonably good.
