Very good soups:) Wish they had healthy alternatives like brown rice. Still good!

Dive-y Chinese restaurant in Diamond Bar. Came here around 5:30pm for an early dinner with my parents and were seated immediately. Credit cards are accepted but there’s a minimum charge of ~$15. No checks are accepted. There’s indoor dining available (no outdoor seating) as well as takeout. They cater too, and most people who came seemed to have opted for that.

There’s a variety of seafood options, and my mom particularly liked the fish maw soup, which has a texture similar to egg drop soup but with pieces of fish. The fried chicken with macadamia but was something that I hadn’t seen before, and wanted to try. The brown sauce is similar to what my mom would cook at home and came with whole pieces of roasted macadamia nuts. The BBQ pork fried rice was standard, and the pork came in small pieces. The food comes with jasmine tea. It’s your standard authentic Asian spot that’s a bit of a hole in the wall (it’s located in the Walmart center), but the service was kind and the food prices were reasonable (~$55 for the 3 of us).

A place to grab a quick (if you were to order ahead via phone or app) and inexpensive food during covid. For lunch, there's a lunch special menu that has various dishes under $9. The service is slow due to having only one server for both togo-ers and limited diners.

They are very nice and welcoming. We have been going there for years. The food is always fresh and clean, they make the food to order it never takes long to cook it. This is what we do with some of our left overs. Duck Soup.
