4.2/5
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Jeremy Kushner
Old school Chinese for those looking for Americanized Chinese favorites. The chicken salad is quite delicious and excellent to share. The other dishes are very average. Friendly service and a decent atmosphere for a lunch or group dinner. Plenty of superior places for Chinese but this has its time and place
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Linda Cowan
What a gem! The food, the service, the atmosphere are all fantastic! Four of us shared a small chinese chicken salad, tao tao beef, sweet & sour pork, steamed rice and won ton soup. So good, plenty for us with a little left over. Yum yum!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Matthew Southern
Favorite Chinese restaurant in the South Bay. Large portions, fantastic Mai Tais and great service. Great for parties/groups of people. I would highly suggest the group menu which allows a wide variety of dishes. I would otherwise suggest the Tao Tao beef and the famous Tao Tao chicken salad (best salad ever). I like Tao Tao so much that I will drive half an hour just for the salad.
