This place Never disappoints!! An individual dinner for $16.99. One entree, Egg roll, 2 wontons, soup & rice. I could only eat half so I’ll have leftovers. Portions are awesome! Tastes authentic as well

Doesn't look like much when you walk by, it's low key and not fancy but OHHH it's so worth visiting. The taste is very light and homey, it's not greasy or over sauced. The food was really quality -- probably the best sweet and sour chicken I ever had. They made it so intricate and flavorful. Highly recommend coming here. The quality is unmatched. Great food and portion sizes!

Price is meaningless if the food is terrible or "Just Ok". Here at Fu Wing Low the family has prepared, cooked and served some of the Best Chinese Food in the OC area for over an Amazing 43 years. I love my combination Chow mein to have thin noodles not super thick "Yuck" these noodles made for a light dish when prepared right. FWL makes mine specifically "" and it is Fantastic. The Kung Pow Beef also without Peanuts or Water Chestnuts is to Die For. The Spicy Fried Shrimp "Nice & Big" served with diced California Habanero Chilies and served with Sweet sauce is Soo Good You Cry and Die and Sweat all at the same time. I love this Family of dedicated Lovers of serving some of the Best of the Best Real Szechuan Family Chinese food in the Southern California Beach Cities. Come by and join me on a Saturday and enjoy some of what gives "Spice and Flavor" to Life.
