The name might suggest a greasy spoon, but the food here is fresh and healthy, made without MSG and with good ingredients. We love the sesame chicken, dumplings, wonton soup, string beans and Szechwan dishes. Lots of vegetarian options, low prices and free delivery in the East Pasadena/Altadena area.
