I live about a half a mile away from the restuarant, so it has long been a favorite carry out place for my family. I'd characterize it as a solid, reliable, though not spectacular *local* place. I emphasize *local* simply to point out that it is worth it if you're in the neighbrohood, but I wouldn't drive up from Fremont, for example.

For those in the Piedmont neighborhood, it's fine for a quick fix of Chinese food. It's, as Robert says, reliable, but not exceptional. King Yen, down the street, is similiarly reliable. -dx
