This has come to be one of my favorite haunts as I have lunch here often; business lunches, staff lunches, and also go here to read the New York Times and get out of the office. Great take out, too. Food is great. Price is great. Great place to be alone or bring a client or have a group meeting.

I recommend their "Sesame Trio", "Shredded Pork with Hot Garlic Sauce", and any of the items on their luncheon special. You will find couples, groups, and executives eating lunch often by themselves as I said earlier.

Chao Hsing Sung and his wife took over ownership. He is a prominent chef of Mandarin, Szechwan and vegetarian cuisine. He started his profession when he was fifteen years old, winning many prestigious awards over the last thirty years. He has prepared wedding banquets, catering, including banquet dinners for Taiwan's President Lee.

Chef Sung's unique culinary techniques include exquisite food presentations, including his famous sculptures which are carved from a variety of vegetables, which has earned features in many Chinese newspapers.

Right off Highway 880, take the Bascom Avenue turn-off. Or come up Lafayette through old downtown Santa Clara.

Monday to Friday, 11:00am to 2:30pm for lunch; 4:30pm to 9:30pm dinner. They are only open for dinner during the weekend.
