Worst food experience I've ever had - what is this? I ordered the seafood chow mein off the lunch menu and got a dry pile of crusty noodles with a case of goopy tasteless sauce. There is no flavor to anything I swear they didn't even finish preparing my dish. It's hard to mix them together or even get a fork full of any noodle cause its all crusted together in one piece. This dish makes no sense and I don't understand why this restaurant keeps this item on the menu. Very very disappointed

My grandmother always goes here so I’ve came here a ton of times as well. Always nice employees and always greeting us in Tagalog. Also this place is always somewhat busy no matter what time you show up here. This time we ordered tea, white rice, sweet and sour boiled fish, roasted eggplant, crispy salty pork, honey walnut shrimp, egg drop soup, Mongolian beef and another beef dish. Food has always solid portions and tastes great.

I've been going to this restaurant since I was a kid. It's been over 30 years even when this place was called China Inn. The food is always fresh and comes out really fast. They had the same servers for as long as I can remember. They are so nice! Overall this place is recommended.

The food was outstanding. Extremely flavorful, well seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Mongolian beef, crispy fried shrimp and clams with black bean sauce were phenomenal. The wonton soup tasted great as well. without question, this is the best Chinese restaurant in Covina. I recommend you give this spot a try you will not be disappointed. And if you happen to stop in say hi to Ted and tell him Lee sent you!

The employees at this restaurant are excellent. They are all so friendly and attentive. We received complimentary hot tea when we sat at our table. The food is served family style. We ordered wonton soup, egg rolls, lo mein, fried rice, two chicken dishes, broccoli beef, and fried bread. We were all stuffed and had a ton of leftovers. After our meal we received complimentary orange slices. This was our first time at this restaurant and it was a wonderful experience. Everyone here was so friendly. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for good Chinese food. Oh ya we also received fortune cookies. Our bill was $119. Not bad for the amount of food we received and the excellent service.

Stopping back in for some dinner. Food is flavourful and tasty. Seasoning is good. The spicy dishes are not on the hot side. Made with dried red chili's. Weekend seating is available. High volume of phone orders. If you have to wait for seating. The waiting area is on the very small side. Parking lot is tight and on the small side. Not sure where handicap parking is located. Front entrance is off of main street.

Great food, great service, "meh" eating area. I've been twice, and both times the food quality has been excellent. The service is fast in all the right ways, though don't take your time in ordering, as the wait staff goes at a jillion miles an hour. The actual restaurant could use some sprucing up, but it didn't affect our dining experience at all - only mentioning it because "atmosphere" is a category.
