⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0/5 — Aleksis Kaye
Had the patty melt & the beef chow mein. Delish! They actually use sour dough for the melt, only other place I know that does that is Gordo's. Best chow mein I've had in the SW. Little crowded but can't complain went during busy lunch hours after the eclipse. Gonna come here again 🥰🐽
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0/5 — Anthony
Hands down the best Chinese food in Gallup. Authentic cuisine, prices are comparable to the serving size you get. The staff is courteous and friendly, excellent with refills. Food took a little more time than expected but it was busy and they have a large menu not just Chinese food. I would recommend the Chinese dishes, haven't tried any others. You seat yourself and they do have Coke Products.
