This place is so busy. And it's no surprise why. The food is so good. See pics. They have their own parking spots too--but be careful not to park in front of the 7Eleven next door or else it's been said you'd get roll away! Yikes. Will definitely come back here again!

Friendly restaurant. This is the kind of the nice and cozy small family-run restaurant that the owner would remember your favorite dishes if you come often. Delicious food and interesting range of choices. The menu has a fusion of Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine. All very delicious. Don't worried if you can't east spicy food. The chiefs can make the food barely heat preserved the spices-aromas.

Hippo Kitchen opened recently in the former China Maxim space, serving authentic Chinese cuisine in a low key and cozy setting. The place is not that big with 6 tables in front of the order counter and QR codes at each table to open the menu and order online. I stopped by Hippopo Kitchen on a Sunday night and the place was still busy around 9pm with groups of Asian students & families dining in and enjoying family style Chinese dishes. I ordered online and ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp ($16.95 plus tax) and Roast Pork Lo Mein ($13.95 plus tax), which was ready in 10 minutes after ordering. The portions of hot food were good. The Kung Pao Shrimp dish had a mix of tender jumbo shrimp (cleaned), carrots, celery, peanuts, red chili peppers, in a very spicy red sauce. I already had some steamed rice back home. The lo mein had a mix of firm noodles, strips of roast pork, and veggies. Overall, the food I ordered was very good and prepared well. I would definitely order from Hippopo Kitchen again for hot and fresh Chinese food.

I was feeling like eating some Chinese food, and decided to go there since it was close and I just had left Seven eleven, when I go inside the cashier was on her phone completely ignoring my presence as I know she could see me, while she was on her phone I took the time to look on the menu and it was more confusing than a math test, it was a long list of dishes that I've couldn't figure out what it was, I just wanted some rice with shrimp, beef and broccoli, and that's what I thought I was ordering, when I saw the crab Rangoon on a review on Google maps I decided to ask the cashier which was another person because the girl that was on her phone was too busy to wait for me to look at the menu, I was answered with a cold and unpleasant NO, I looked back at the menu and decided to get springs rolls, $6 for 2 heavily oiled rolls with Lord knows what was inside, I paid for the bill with came out for $40, for two meals and a order of sling rolls, I took a deep breath and paid since I was too hungry to acknowledge what I was doing with my money, what I looked at my receipt I saw and extra charge of $8 of tip, that I didn't even agreed to give, and it was not deserved at all, I sat there and waited and waited for my food, it took way too long, this was supposed to be a fast food, I got my food and when I got home I was ready to eat, I operated the container just to be faced with disappointment, the food was bathing in oil I could see the carrots floating, the broccoli was so hard that it almost broke seal of my tooth, I tried to finish chewing it but the pressure that was creating in my teeth was aching my jaw, the had just paid almost fifty dollars for pain. And despite all that I realize that there's a nice restaurant literally across the street where I go regularly but I guess it was the mistake of my life trusting those false reviews I don't recommend this place for anyone.

Phenomenal food and very nice and appreciative staff. Szechuan spicy chicken was amazing; hot, spicy, and flavorful. We enjoyed our lunch so much we ordered dinner to go.

Super good. Small, low key and casual feel restuarant. More of a homemade family style, but that's how I like my food (not too much salt, sugar, and other "crap"). One of the best around!
