Our go to neighborhood Chinese restaurant. We mostly do takeout and delivery. The delivery is always prompt and whenever there's an issue they are very communicative about it. Personal favorites include their Fried Rice, Kung Pao Tofu, and Singapore noodles.
The food was very fresh. Tastes great, and menu descriptions are spot on. Service was friendly and welcoming, but could use a little work with accuracy. I ordered an entree, and asked for a side of veggie fried rice, which the waitress suggested instead of the white rice. When my food came out, she gave me a side of plain rice and soy sauce, and a FULL side of veggie fried rice. When I said I didn't order the full order, she said "Oh sorry, but you can take for later." With no offer to remove it from my check or take it back. Other than that the restaurant is pretty clean, and everything was delicious.
The food is good for the area of Burbank and The Valley for the convenience of Chinese Food that's not "Panda Express" or some "Steam Tray" styled place, not that those are bad per se (and we actually do like Panda Express too!) What I like about restaurants like this and Chinese Food is eating "Family Style" where you can order several dishes and share in diverse items among a group. Usually if you order 1 main dish per adult person in the group (i.e., 4 dishes for 4 people) it's pretty safe and if you like leftovers or have heavy eaters, maybe order a different ratio. We ordered Tofu (Mild no spice special order), Noodles Beef Chow Fun), Noodles (Combo Chow Mein), Chicken, Salt and Pepper Pork, Fish fillet and a Combo Meat Dish for 5 people we ordered 6 dishes and Western Wok gives complimentary (Free, i.e., no charge) steamed white rice too. We had leftovers for 2 adult meals (so in other words, we could have fed 7 people instead of 5, easily with the 6 dishes we ordered) The staff is nice. I actually called and was asking how long it took to prepare the food, as I was coming from a great distance about 1 hr away, and the lady told me NOT to order online as sometimes those orders don't get the same immediate attention as just calling in direct on the phone and speaking to them live, an actual human being. :) - - So, the said it takes 15-20 minutes roughly to prepare an order fresh, cooked to order and hot to go. I waited and timed how to pace an order from phone call to pick up and it worked perfectly. Our meal was $100, so the avg cost per person for lunch was $20 and everyone was satisfied and there were leftovers. The only knock I have on this, and I'm used to authentic Cantonese Chinese Cuisine, is the chow mein noodles done crispy was kinda weak, not fresh egg noodles but had some sort of freeze dried noodle stiffness that wasn't great. It was okay and the sauce and protein (shrimp, chicken and beef) Parking was easy and convenient.
Favorite chinese food in Burbank. Quick and easy delivery, delicious, consistently yummy and they always throw in free cream cheese wontons!
