The portion on the lunch special is unbelievable and the flavor of this broccoli chicken has a nice garlicky edge to it. The texture of the broccoli was that perfect blend of crunchy and soft that only the best restaurants pull off. The chicken was so tender, it melted in my mouth. There's a hint of white pepper in this dish that hits right at the end and makes it go from a 9 to a solid 10/10. All without being overly salty. The chicken wontons and veggie egg rolls that come with the lunch are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and I'm glad they only gave us one of each because I would've eaten a whole plate. My 75 year old vegetarian friend came with me this time. I asked them if they could make a veggie version of Kung Pao Chicken and cook the veggies more to make sure they're soft. They accommodated him without any fuss and the dish was so delicious he couldn't stop telling me about it. I kept saying, "I know, mine's incredible too." XD He and I were struggling not to drink all the jasmine tea they gave us. I've ordered sweet and sour chicken here as well as the lo mein. Both were stellar. The mother of the owner can be a bit hard to understand, but she is very patient and fun to talk to. She's very kind and proud of how good the food is. It's adorable. Patience with her is thoroughly rewarded. They always give you great fresh fruit for dessert. This time, it was perfectly ripe slices of watermelon. It's no wonder this is one of my favorite restaurants in the entire state.

Tiny, dingey little hole in the wall. GREAT food!! I was INCREDIBLY surprised by the quality, portion, and price!! The old lay who owns the place is a classic old-school California-Chinese immigrant. For a tiny out of the way unspuspecting place, I can't say enough good about it. 9.95 lunch special was man-sized filling portion of pork Lo Mein with a hige scoop of fried rice plus a small eggroll and fried wonton. Will be my lunch stop of choice when in Grants. Grabbed a Boba Tea to go as well.

Such a great place. Their food has never disappointed us in our years of coming here. Diverse foods and flavors with large portions and low prices. The new Boba menu is great with many options for teas and smoothies. If you're visiting Grant's, I'd definitely recommend trying out this place!
