This casual choice offers a mix of traditional Asian cuisine, from Chinese to Vietnamese dishes.
I haven't felt more welcome and "at home" at a restaurant in...I can't even remember how long. This place is delightful. They greet their customers by name, and everything we tried was tasty. My favorite of the night was the black pepper steak, but the "regulars" I went with said they love everything they've tried on the Simi's menu. They also had some of the most delicious spring rolls - if you aren't sure which appetizer to try, you can't go wrong with these. If you haven't been to Simi's yet, you should definitely check them out.
I love this place! I drive 30-40 minutes out of my way to get it. It does not taste like the chain stores. It is authentic and always good. I've tried at least 5 entrees on their menu and love every single one. I highly recommend the Orange Chicken or Sweet and Sour pork, especially as part of the lunch special. The staff is very friendly and get to know their regulars. It's a great experience, even if you just call ahead and pick up. This is my go to Chinese restaurant and I love it. Highly recommend their crab wontons too.
11/30/24UPDATE: Its been 6 years since I have been here and i am pretty disappointed in the lack of flavor this go around. I ordered the classics this time. The organge chicken was flavorful and a solid 4/5. The veggie spring roll was a solid 4/5. The pork egg roll was terrible, it lacked flavor and was overcooked 1/5. The General Tso's chicken was possibly the least flavorful i have ever had, it was watered down. The employees were still very kind and relatable. I will have to drop their rating to 3.5. END OF UPDATE //////My new favorite Asian restaurant! I dont call it a chinese restaurant because it has asian foods from different regions with real asian portions. The Pho beef portion was huge and am a big eater! The service was on point, when in Arizona you should drink a ton of water and my water never ran out. This is a very classy venue with stylish colors for a very cozy environment. I will be back and highly recommend this restaurant
Great food great service! Food is tasty and well priced. Service was that of an upscale restaurant. Everyone acknowledged our presence and greeted us like valued customers. Great job! Today we had pad thai and mangolian beef stir fry. Delicious! Can't wait to come back and try more menu items. Thanks for a very nice lunch experience; highly recommended!
Absolutely amazing!!! The restaurant has nice ambience. The staff (short hair lady) was friendly with welcoming manners. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken lunch set and an iced Thai tea. The lunch set came with a bowl of soup, steamed rice, and 2 pieces of deep fried appetizers. Food was flavorful. I highly recommend this restaurant! 10/10!!!!
Cannot speak highly enough of Simi's. The customer service here is exceptional- our waitress was so kind and went out of her way to check up on us. It was our first time here and we seemed to be the only customers they didn't know- everyone who came in they treated like old friends. The restaurant has an unassuming exterior, but the interior is nice and clean and pleasant. And the food! Fantastic. Portions sizes are crazy and the food is absolutely delicious. My husband got his favorite orange chicken he's ever had! We could have split our entrees. We decided that next time we come we'll split an entree and an appetizer.
Great food, friendly service
We had pho soup, summer rolls, and spring rolls, and it was all great!! The service was excellent. The food was brought out quickly and was so good!
I love this place! I only eat Pho here after getting sick from MSG at other places .
So yummy here.

EDIT: They were our go-to when everything was to-go only, and they are our go-to now that they are open for dine-in again! They serve everything on plasticwear now, but I feel it's more sanitary considering the times, and helps them spend less time on dishes, so I definitely don't mind! Their food is the best comfort food around ❤️💕
First off, Diane is SO NICE AND SWEET!! Incredible service, super friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, always so clean, and the seats are so comfy! The food is AMAZING!! I've yet to try a dish i didn't like, or a fun drink i didn't enjoy! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for EVERYONE for ANY reason! ❤
Just an edit to say that this place is still my favorite and still awesome and amazing in every way ❤️💕

Very friendly family owned and operated. Food is always hot and fresh. Very welcoming.
This place has always been a family favorite and it will stay a family favorite. Great food, awesome atmosphere, and fantastic service. Try their orange chicken or the pho soup, you can't loose. But don't take my word for it, check it our and let me know what you thought.
Every one is soooo sweeet!!!! Me and my friend are both 100% vegan and their food was just as great as the service!!! Very personable. 🫶🏿
Excellent service and food. Thanks!
Good was delicious 😋. Great place for lunch!
Love there service and love there food
Always great service and food is authentic
This place is amazing,food is good,service is amazing love it
Food was delicious and came out fast. Service was excellent. Will definitely be back
Service and food were BEYOND! People who work here are very sweet. Thank you, Diane!
Way overpriced.
Family owned by Diana, and she is just the sweetest. The food was really good too.

Simi’s Cafe is a hidden gem that serves up a double dose of Chinese and Vietnamese comfort food magic. Let’s start with the pho—delicious doesn’t even do it justice. It’s the kind of broth that could fix your bad day, your bad mood, and maybe even your bad back.
The orange chicken and General Tso’s? Oh, they’re crispy and flavorful like they just took a masterclass in crunch and spice. Each bite has that perfect “just one more” vibe, and suddenly, you’ve devoured the whole plate.
The summer rolls? Fresh, light, and paired with peanut sauce so good you’ll consider asking for a to-go tub just to drink it later. (Don’t worry, they won’t judge.)
And the service? Out of this world. The team is like a well-oiled, super-friendly machine, but Diane—oh, Diane is the MVP of MVPs. She’s got the charm, the speed, and the magic touch that makes you feel like royalty, even if you’re just there for a quick lunch.
If you haven’t been to Simi’s Cafe yet, drop everything and go. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you, and Diane will make sure you never want to leave!
My wife and I did a late lunch here and this is by far the best pho we have had to date. The broth is rich and savory. Its a family owned business and the front seems basic and hole-in-the-wall feel but dont let that fool you. Great service and the atmosphere is very homey! Will come back to try their chinese and thai cuisine!
They are literally the best!
The orange chicken and the red curry are our favorites! We can never leave without getting the crab puffs or the egg drop soup either! 10 out of 10 would recommend
I've been here 15-20 times. My go-to for Asian cuisine. Staff is so caring and attentive.
I'm visiting Arizona from the UK and I've got to say, this is one of the best restaurants I've been too. Any time I'm in this part of the world I make sure ai visit this restaurant. The food is amazing, amongst some of the best for this type of cuisine. Also, the customer service is second to none. I really couldn't recommend this restaurant highly enough.
Food is amazing and staff is very friendly and welcoming
I was hoping for more Vietnamese dishes. Most of the menu was Chinese and a little Thai. The Chinese dishes we ordered were good. Portions were large. Our server was friendly and offered useful suggestions. We will go back.
Good lunch specials
This is REAL AUTHENTIC food at its best! And the people there are genuine, caring and very attentive. May not look like much from the outside but inside it’s a pure gem!
First time here, my wife and I had Basil Chicken, House Pan Fried Noodles and Vietnamese Summer Rolls ... not our preferred Asian tastes, or styles. Both dishes were not good overall, but did have lots of veggies ... the Summer Rolls had bad flavors and consistency. We left lots of food on both plates, no 'take homes'. The wait staff was excellent, very accomodating and friendly, and the atmosphere was very good, relaxing and pleasant for eating. The cost was average, $50!
Very nice folks, restaurant smells good and is clean!
Maybe the best Pho I have ever eaten. The restaurant is nice and the service is extraordinary. Do not forget to order gyozas, those are fabulous. Extremely recommended!
This place is a hidden gem. The outside doesn't not give it justice....
I had the kung pow chicken lunch special and my buddy had the general tsao chicken and both plates looked and tasted really good.... the portions are too big in my opinion.... well worth the visits...
Super good food! Favorite was the Filet Mignon in Kalby sause with fried rice! Appetizers is definitely the lettuce wraps! And family friendly!
Love their food! The owners and staff are fantastic too. They know a lot of their customers well because people tend to come back a lot. Fantastic experience!
Came here for the first time. We ordered the orange chicken and the general tso chicken. Appetizers were spring rolls and crab puffs they came with sweet and sour sauce. I don't like sweet and sauce but I still tried it. I have never in my life enjoyed every single last bite. Ohh and I got the lemonade. My goodness get the lemonade! I drank 3 of them. The staff is very friendly. Honestly about the best and sweetest kindest staff almost as if your mom was cooking for you. We will definitely be coming back. Even if I moved to a different city you best believe I will drive herr for another taste of heaven. Thank you so much for simply having delicious food and treating your customers so kind.
Big portions for great price the staff is amazing and very pleasant clean and friendly environment 🩷🩷🩷
This very clean restaurant is extremely consistent. Every single time I've been here, the service is over-the-top friendly and genuine, the food is always fresh and tasty with large portions, the wait time is very short, the entire restaurant is spotless and clean, and considering all of that, it is reasonably priced! And it's this way every single time. Consistent excellency is hard to pull off but they do it!
持ち帰りだったので中の雰囲気はあまり分からないが、外観がすごい。Googleで調べなければなんの店かも分からないだろう。
日差し防止だろうか、外観が真っ黒。ガラスも真っ黒で中の様子は外から全く見えず。混んでるのかすいてるのか、はたまたほんとに中華料理屋なのか!? 中華料理屋だった。
アメリカの中華料理では悩んだときはモンゴリアンビーフを頼む。甘辛で美味しいことが多い。なんで日本にないのかな。
さて、例に漏れずこちらもモンゴリアンビーフ、今まで食べたのと結構違う。甘すぎずしょっぱすぎず、いい塩梅。そして唐辛子の辛さとうまさがダイレクトに感じられる、白いご飯泥棒である。
トムヤムクンスープは驚くほどの具の多さで、これだけでもお腹一杯になりそう。
今のところ私的フェニックスナンバー3に入る中華料理屋である。
Mind blowing
Doesn't look like much from the outside but as soon as you open the door you feel home. Food is so fresh and service is fabulous.
Our party of ten were well fed with great tasting food and a great spirit of caring service. Even our rambunctious little ones loved it. Thank you. We will all be back !
One of the best Asian restaurants in Arizona. Crab puffs are the best.. You know this when you have 3 orders for 3 people. Everything is made in house. No colored dyes, easy to eat even with food allergies. Super friendly. I live almost 2 hrs Away and it's worth the drive!
It was very clean and the food was delicious, fast service as well. Amazing customer service!!! Love it!
The food here is delicious and great portions! Diane was very kind, helpful, and provided fantastic service.
We love this place so much. I tried various things on the menu and it’s all been great! The service and hospitality we always receive here is so wonderful..very friendly and kind.
You ABSOLUTELY have to try Simi’s. Diane is amazing and always takes great care of you. Food is top notch and service is even better. If that were even possibly. You won’t regret it!!
Super recommended, the food is delicious, the staff is very friendly and the place is very clean.!!!!!! 10/10
We love these people and their food! Try the Kalbi beef and Anything else!
Not one negative thing to say. The service was excellent, the food was great and the atmosphere good. The woman working the tables and welcoming the guests (kind of like the hostess but she did more than that) was so kind, welcoming and helped my toddlers find something to eat. Would definitely return.
The strip mall that this restaurant is located in doesn't look so great, but the restaurant is nice. All the servers were personable and helpful with suggestions when asked. The food was delicious probed well, and priced fairly. I would definitely go back.
Great food. The best orange chicken ever. Great customer service.
The best Orange Chicken around. Love the hot Jasmine tea and my wife loves their iced sweet jasmine tea. Everything we have gotten has been delicious. Spicy Beef Pho is delicious and lives up to it's name. My son loves the mango shrimp and my little ones enjoy the beef with broccoli and chicken chow mein. Super sweet family run business.
Great place to go for lunch!
Yummy panipuri must try 😍
The food here is seriously amazing – packed with flavor and quality! And the service? It's top-notch, whether you're chatting on the phone or interacting with the cooks. They even go the extra mile, like separating the noodles and Chowmein topping so you can still enjoy that crunch. Every dish we've tried, whether we're taking it to go or dining in, has been fantastic.
They have really good food
Amazing food, good prices, and the staff is amazingly helpful and attentive, always with a smile on their face and doing everything they can to make sure you're enjoying your time.
I must be ordering the wrong things since my experience with the food is vastly different than the rest of the reviews here. The orange chicken and general tso’s specifically were unfortunately not to my liking. But the staff is very nice.
Absolutely amazing!!! The restaurant has nice ambience. The staff (short hair lady) was friendly with welcoming manners. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken lunch set and an iced Thai tea. The lunch set came with a bowl of soup, steamed rice, and 2 pieces of deep fried appetizers. Food was flavorful. I highly recommend this restaurant! 10/10!!!!
This is without a DOUBT my favorite Asian kitchen in the valley! The staff is amazing and always so pleasant! The black pepper filet mignon is out of this world, the sauce that comes with it is literally to die for! We visit Simis multiple times a week and it never disappoints me
Had the most wonderful lunch with my husband and daughter today here. Tried veg/tofu pho in chicken broth and white pepper chicken! Mind blowing preparation. Very authentic!!
The best part was the cozy place and the warm hostess. The lady was so kind and jovial. It was lovely interacting with her! Felt home! Discussing our girls and school. Forgot to ask her name but will definitely return to this place to try more items.
Me, my wife and daughter have been going here at least once or twice a month. We enjoy the atmosphere and food very much. We really do appreciate the kindness and hospitality Diane and her staff gives us each time we come to visit. Diane's attentiveness to our requests and needs is just pefect. She is always there with kind words and makes us feel very welcoming. We will be going there once again today to enjoy another delicious lunch.
Don't let the outside of this place fool you. And it looks closed from the outside even when it isn't due to the very dark tinted windows. The food and service are fantastic! Clean, pleasant atmosphere. Our first choice for Chinese food.
Our first time here after a recommendation from Judy over at AJ'S. It is fresh and very delicious. Support family owned versus Pei Wei up the street.
Food is good
A little pricey tho
Friendly staff,food was great and place was clean...The Owner was inviting and pleasant...I will be coming back for sure
We stumbled across this restaurant while on vacation and it was great. The knew all the regulars ,and greeted us just like the knew us . The food was delicious and the service was excellent.. we will definitely be back.
Excellent food and large portions. Never had a bad dish here.
I love this place. The food is delicious! The service is beyond 5 stars and the owners/workers are the nicest people EVER! I definitely recommend this restaurant.
Cute place to eat. Cane here with coworkers. Was immediately treated and seated. Lunch was delicious and good portions. Would come again
Best service and orange chicken ever. My family have been regulars for some time but nothing but good stuff to say about the owner and staff here highly recommend 👌
Egg rolls were terrible an so was the sauce served with them. I had sweet and sour chicken which was ok but not enough pineapple. I had jasmine tea not served with a sweetener. I suppose I could have asked for it but I like to be served it and not have to ask. Th whole meal felt very rushed.
Always a good experience. Friendly staff, great food.
Very clean, and big proportions! Staff is very attentive and helpful. Eager to go again 🩵✨
I LOVE SIMI'S!! The service is fast and efficient and the staff is always so nice. The food is always a large portion and is better than other Asian kitchens. I especially love their lunch menu because it gives you a bit of everything. I highly suggest their egg drop soup , their chow fun, and especially their shrimp dishes. ALWAYS get a plate of crab puffs.
My fiancé and I LOVE Simi’s! We get it once or twice a month and it never disappoints. Our favorites are the Lettuce Wraps and the Crab Puffs - so good!! Everything else we’ve gotten has been delicious as well. We usually do delivery through doordash, but anytime I’ve gone in to pickup, the staff is always so warm and welcoming. 10/10 food and customer service.
Our first visit was great. We had a light, early dinner. I was more impressed with the relationships the staff/owners had with the patrons. Every person that came in was treated like a regularly returning customer. Even though we overheard customers asking what’s good, it’s our first time here. The staff is very accommodating and thoughtful in addressing the customers. We have a new favorite place!!
Not sure about all the good reviews....must have had a bad day, since we tossed out all the food we picked up. First time, and the last time we will look here for Chinese Food
Best Chinese food I have ever had.
Their food and service is amazing.
This is my favorite restaurant in the Phoenix area. The staff is always so friendly and prompt. My plate is always empty because the food is always amazing. My favorite is the Mongolian beef but they recommend the black chicken last time and it's a strong second. 10/10 place
Pretty good for the most part. Nice big portions, and the food tasted fresh and flavorful. Except the pho, wow I've never had pho that tasted like watery cardboard. So odd considering how good the entrees were. I took another star off because they give you half the food if you order takeout but charge more - totally unethical, and nontransparent business practice that I don't see any of their competitors do. The takeout boxes were snack sized portions, not enough to fill a person up we had to go out for more food after paying them $20+/plate (before uber fees). Also another time we ordered we were waiting 45 minutes to be helped which is another odd thing considering everyone else seemed to be served first that came in after us. Servers were kind, just not paying attention. Considering the high price and inconsistent service, I think we will go elsewhere, but everyone should try some of their entrees at some point! Good comfort food. Just don't do to-go!!!!
Always very nice and they remember you the next time you come in if you're a regular as well. Food is always delicious.
Very friendly place, good foods, will come again.
I had the slice beef pho the flavor is divine, savory and delicious. It was a cold day and our server noticed that I was cold and she offered to turn on the heat for us. Our server was so kind and made us feel like we were at home. It really amazed me how good the service was and food. H. badger
Greeted and seated so nicely...wait staff so friendly...food came out fast and hot...was so delicious..looking forward to returning for another delicious dinner
Was stereo typed the moment me and my partner walked in. After seated I noticed everyone around us was getting complimentary egg drop soup and we were purposefully getting skipped. When I approached the restaurant member to ask about the soup I was told it was because people ordered the lunch special, not knowing I watched the couple next to us ordered pho and still got the complimentary soup. I drove 25 min out of the way because of the reviews only to have that experience. I left before my food came out. Too bad you lost a potential loyal customer, hopefully this is a lesson to treat people equally :)
Wow oh wow. I loved this place! The servers were so attentive and kind. The atmosphere is so welcoming and the food was delicious!! I have a gluten allergy and the staff was very helpful on navigating me through the menu. 100% recommend!!
The customer service was wonderful, the FOOD… Delectable! This little restaurant is so cute but cozy once you walk in it’s so quaint and cozy for a date night.
We got the crab puffs, spicy and regular beef pho, and the pork crunchy spring rolls and listen we stuffed ourselves because we didn’t want to stop eating.
The pho broth was so flavorful and savory, and the other foods just as good! Everything is made fresh and you can tell!
Disappointed, very expensive and the food is just ok. I ordered shrimp pho and the broth was cold. My husband ordered Kung pao beef and they gave him chicken. We got it to go and didn't want to have to take it back. The crab puffs are good but not worth the price.
Grocery store deli level quality food. It's not exactly a Chinese restaurant they serve Vietnamese and Thai dishes too, tho these are nothing like the dishes they're supposed to be.
We really wanted to like this place, the workers are cute n friendly as they lie to yr face but the food is flavorless n bland altho they marked extra spicy on the containers. Large yet overpriced portions. The customers were elderly Caucasians at lunch yesterday.
We won't be returning n my recommendation is go to Panda Express it's cheaper n tastier.
Based on 1 visit: The staff is definitely friendly, and the owner seems to know many regulars.
I had the orange chicken, and paid extra for the chow mein... which was simply a pile of noodles without anything else in it and without any real flavoring. Totally not worth it in my opinion. The orange chicken was pretty good.
The decor is super generic, and pleasant enough. I appreciated that they had the televisions on mute with captions on, to not interrupt the dining experience.
I had the lunch special, and that seems like a pretty good deal. The photo is missing the egg roll, as I ate that before I remembered to take a picture.
I really thought this place with high marks would have good food. Very disappointing. Order Saigon noodles which are glass noodles and the used pasta noodles. The pork in the fried rice was dry and hard. The fried rice just a weird taste bad. The Vietnamese egg rolls were cold. Had to reheat. Nothing tasted fresh. Not coming back. The lady who took my order was very nice
Soooo yummy ! I got the orange chicken lunch special 10/10 definitely coming again and the people are so nice
Won't return.
Delicious food, very friendly staff!
Cannot speak highly enough of Simi's. The customer service here is exceptional- our waitress was so kind and went out of her way to check up on us.

My husband got his favorite orange chicken he's ever had! We could have split our entrees. We decided that next time we come we'll split an entree and an appetizer.
Hidden gem! Food is amazing
Delicious god, fast service, friendly atmosphere.
The owner provides amazing service and is very nice. The food is delicious.
Good food. Great service.
Not what I was hoping. Will try other menu items, though.
Food was great, I got the sweet n sour chicken lunch special. I received my food very quickly. I love this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone!
Always good. Always fast. Always friendly. Favorite place for Chinese food and Pho in Gilbert. Any time my in-laws come and visit from out-of-state they always make a point to eat here at least once.
We've driven by this location many many times over the last few years. Finally, we decided to visit. We can't believe we've been missing out all along! Someone in our house wasn't feeling well, so we ordered Beef Pho to go for her. I also ended up getting the pho and it was delicious. The broth had an amazing flavor. We also ordered House Pan Fried Noodles...oh my gosh, so good. Next time we will order it with about half the sauce, it was a little much. But it was great!
Service was very personal. We felt welcomed and individually cared for. The manager/server made significant effort to come speak with us, make recommendations, and small talk. And it was very much appreciated. Another server noticed that we rode a motorcycle, and made sure our to-go order was packaged up so that we could place it in our backpack without spilling. Small things like that are missing from most other establishments these days.
Wow! Called in a pick up order on a Saturday evening and it was ready in 20 minutes and accurate even with all of our “special request” to meals (ie don’t make Mongolia beef Spicy, sweet and sour sauce on side of chicken). Definitely our new favorite place to order from! Delicious and great customer service
Wonderful food, friendly staff and great dining experience. This is a secret gem that I highly recommend.
There is a new theater in the parking lot that takes a lot of the parking. Don't be afraid to park far and walk. It's worth it.
Take out and delivery also offered.
Their Mongolian beef is Amazing.
If you want something different, the black pepper filet is soooo good and only a bit more. You won't regret it.
This is the best spot for Chinese food in the area. We drive 25+ minutes and will continue to do so.
Our first time to Simi's Cafe and the staff and food were fantastic!! The owner talked with us while we waited for our takeout. The orange chicken is a delight. We'll be back again and eat in next time!
Fast, friendly, affordable
Ordered a noodle dish. With shrimp chicken and Vegas. It was really good. The.pork had a lot of fat. I actually ordered a flat noodle dish and the waitress made a mistake andd brought us the wrong dish. She offered to take it back but it looked so good we decided to keep it. I will go back.
Great family owned place. Owners are very nice.
Wow. Every diner in the restaurant seemed to know the staff. Every seat was filled and I received the last open seat in the house without waiting. The service was prompt, and after ordering I only waited a few minutes for my food. I ordered the Chicken Pad Thai (it’s a noodle dish with chicken). Everything was delicious. I had planned on taking half the dish home with me to munch on later but I couldn’t stop and I had to eat the whole thing. I don’t know why I didn’t try this place before!! If you haven’t been to Simis, you have to go. By the end you’ll feel like family.
Dine
I called and they hung up on me, so I am going to Panda Express, which is probably better.
Delicious!
Great food and employees. Lacks atmosphere.
We always do takeout, however this place always is delicious!
This is the best family owned pan-Asian place in Phoenix. There's nothing on the menu that isn't good.
Love going here for some delicious food, welcoming service, and quality time with friends or family. Plates are big enough to share with another person, or for one very hungry person.
My family has eaten here for years. The staff is always so friendly and courteous. They remember us and what we like. Everything tastes great, but my favorite is the beef pho and Thai tea. It's so fresh and delicious. I've had pho other places, but Simis is by far the best. Its always very clean and tidy.
After a couple hours of reading reviews, this place looked awesome. High reviews, 4.8 out of 5. But when we got our food, we really weren't impressed. Blah..no zip. Fishy...kind of weird flavors. Not Chinese... definitely more Vietnamese, I guess. Don't think we'll go back there.
I want to start by saying I ate all my food. It was not bad. It just wasn't good.
The service and wait staff were amazing and the restaurant was very clean and comfortable. That goes a long way.
I ordered the chicken chow mein lunch special, it came with egg drop soup that was good not great, a Rangoon, and egg roll all of that was good. The issue was that the main dish lacked flavor. No spice at all on the chicken and it seemed like all the flavor was in just the noodles and vegetables so the chicken was probably added last and tossed a few times. The issue is that the chicken wasn't seasoned at all first so it was kinda tasteless and rubbery. No salt or pepper, no five spice no marinade nothing. I know it's not a five start place or anything but no salt? I dunno. It also came with rice that was a bit stale and I am not used to having a noodle dish and rice. I did not finish the rice.
Good Asian cuisine, good prices, good menu, great service
Best Pho in the East Valley. Lettuce wraps are far better than Pei Wei. Friendly staff. Diane, the owner, is wonderful.
Friendly, clean, fast, yummy
Went with my co-workers for lunch. I had the shrimp fried rice. Let's just say this has been the best Chinese food since I've been in Arizona. Told my kids about it so I'll be treating them soon. Also the portions are good for the price.
Was good..I don't think the fried fice was really fried, however.
This place is phenomenal
So delicious.. will come again..
Awesome customer service and there food is amazing!!!
Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. She kept up on our drinks and orders. The potstickers were delicious. I also really enjoyed the orange chicken.
I eat here as regularly as I can. The food is so good! I especially like their teriyaki chicken. The veggies seem fresh, not saturated in sauce like a lot of places. I've tried several of their dishes and I've enjoyed them all. I also like the quaint, authentic and personal atmosphere. Very kind staff and great service!
This place is clean, the staff welcome you right away. Great customer service, they seem like they enjoy working here :)
They do dine in and take online orders for Carry out and Delivery.

Time and time again this establishment has proven to be the best!!!! From the staff to the food, you can't go wrong!!!! Definitely recommend anytime!!!! 😁😁
Don't confuse it with Dr. Simi. My wife Edith Fair did that and she was outraged. I couldn't resist a tasty treat and got me some kung pao beef. O M G it was delish! Don't tell Edith!
I was looking for a place for Singapore noodles on the way back from Gold Canyon, and this place did not disappoint! It had a stronger curry flavor than some other places I've been to. They asked if medium spicy was fine, and I said ok, but it came back not spicy, which was not a problem. I don't know if the peppers they used just weren't spicy this time or something, but it was amazing without any spice. (They also offered me some chili to put in it anyway.) I also ordered egg flower soup. I love the meat they put in it. Hubby ordered house chow fun. Very yummy! The owner was so genuinely kind and courteous. She treated us like family, which is so rare and refreshing. I can't wait to come back again. God bless this beautiful family business!
Great service
