Reliable little neighborhood place for eat in, pickup, or delivery. Though it has changed owners once or twice over the years, the interior has barely changed since the late 70s (I've been coming here since, so I should know). The carpet, booths, and bamboo/tiki decor are, truth be told, looking a little crummy these days. But it is sort of cozy and has its charm. Â Nobody comes anymore for the bar, but the smallish dining room usually has some business, and the take out seems busy.
Food is usually tasty, assuming you like standard south side Cantonese-American grub. Â The shrimp egg foo young is exceptional, though -- it's one of our family staples, and I like their preparation better than just about anywhere else. Â Never overcooked, good loose, coarse texture, generous with the shrimp, and the gravy is a bit lighter in color than most places.
