The won ton soup is savory and flavorful. The walnut prawns are amazing. The pot stickers are also great.

Wonderful food that doesn't make me feel gross after eating. Delicious flavors and a nice selection of dishes to try. The owners are very friendly and attentive with pick up orders.

My neighborhood go-to for takeout. Black Pepper Chicken and Cashew Chicken are both really good with fresh veggies. Very friendly service too!

I was hoping to eat there, but it's take our only. The woman who helped me was so nice, wonderful customer service. The food was amazing, cooked hot and fresh. I highly recommend the egg foo young & egg drop soup. I will defiantly be returning. They included plastic silverware & bio-degradable ( ) bowls so I didn't have any dirty dishes.

I'm pretty sure the lady that works at front is the nicest human in the whole world. So friendly, so welcoming. The food is unbelievably fresh, not heavy at all. Super tasty, 100% the best Chinese place around.

Lilly is amazing and her food is our go to for takeout!! We have been coming here for 6 years. We discovered Hunan Cafe 2 or Lily's place as we call it when I was pregnant with my first son and was trying to eat a ton of spicy Chinese food and get the baby out. Now 3.5 kids later and we still go get food from Lily as often as we can. She always asks about our family and Santa's home with extra fortune cookies for the kids. Now on to the food- we love almost everything here but the Chicken Chow Mein, green onion pancakes, soups, and Honey Walnut Shrimp, and broccoli beef stand out as some of the best Chinese food we have ever had. It's seriously where we go when we need comforting food, have an anniversary, or for any other reason that we can think of. The prices are super great as well.

Recently came by to do a takeout. No dine in option right now. Lots of veggies in our shrimp and black bean sauce, lots of fresh sugar snap peas in our Westlake mince beef soup. First time seeing Westlake beef soup cooked that way. The ma po tofu has a good spicy kick! Ambiance and Service: Very neighborhood hole-in-the-wall mom and pop place with kind and friendly service. And yes, they are close to the beach!

Consistently excellent. Fresh food, great portions and priced right. We love ordering take away since the ambiance inside is a bit lacking. It more than makes up for it in taste. Our go-to orders are fried rice, chicken and broccoli, cheese wontons, kung pao and chow mein. YUM Keep supporting this small neighborhood business! Your tummy will be happier for it!

Great little mom and pop restaurant serving Chinese food. Located on 46th and Cabrillo, they are close to the ocean beach. Fast service, super friendly, and good sized portions! The food taste very fresh, and was very reasonable in cost!. Each item was packed very carefully in its own plastic bag, retaining the heat and avoiding spillage. I really love the kung pao chicken.
