I try to frequent owner-owned businesses, and this small Chinese restaurant in a Pleasant Hills strip mall is one of my favorites. The Owner is there most of the time to greet and seat, take and present orders, and talk.
It seems odd, but one of my favorites on the menu is the wonton soup. The broth is homemade, not at all overly-salted (unlike every other restaurant I've been in), and the wontons are tender. The tofu and vegetables is one of my favorite main dishes, as is the mai fun (thin rice noodles with vegetables and whatever protein and a delicious sauce).
This is a very good, casual, unpretentious Chinese restaurant (as opposed to an okay, very pretentious Chinese restaurant, which shall go unnamed, at the Waterfront) and so reasonable in cost that we try to go every week. Portions are nice, too.
Pros: food, service
