Wowwww this is one of the last good ol 757 authentic dark rice flavorful Chinese places left!! I am glad I found this place and I will be coming here now on when I come to the area. The food taste just like back in the day with the dark gravy and dark rice! No other place outside of the 757 compares. The ladies were really nice to me. I highly recommend this place!

I've been going to this place since I was a kid and they were located on Portsmouth Blvd. The food has always been good. You will not be disappointed.

There's no Chinese food anywhere like this. Single family owned since the early 90's. Prices are still reasonable. I recommend fried rice with sausage but I also love the yock. Egg foo young is good too. Try it all!

One of those hidden local gems. Everything I have had was delicious. The large egg rolls are as close to perfect I've seen in a long time, thin crispy roll that not doughy chewy in the least bit. The steak in any of the meals is tender as can be,far from the leathery strips at 95% of the other take outs. The portions are quite ample, a half order is easily enough for 2 and full pint size is enough for 4. No other place I know of can you get a full meal for 2 for less than $5 bucks!

A hidden jem a few miles away from Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Naval Hospital Portsmouth. This mom and pop chinese take out restaurant is located in the ghettos but i assume that its a neighborhood to go place since there was a hug line when i came in. Although they only accept cash.... their prices are cheap for good quality asian food. They also have lunch specials from Monday to Friday for $5 ++which includes a drink I ordered Their Egg Roll which is like filipino lumpia packed with delicious meat. And their egg drop soup and pancit was amazing. Lastly, the people who work there were pretty nice too. Definitely liking the mom and pop vibe of this place with cheap home cook meal despite not being in a nice neighborhood. Two thumbs up!
