There are several chinese restauraunts in the area but this one is probably the best. The service was a bit slow but the food was worth it.

Hey, it ain't fine dining...the parking is cramped...the outside atmosphere is a cross between Police Street and Back Alley at night BUT if you want Chinese food at midnight here you go. Located just off the tracks-somewhat away but -two blocks-from casino row you don't need a car to get there. The soups are really traditional-fish based instead of chicken or beef-and the variety and portion size is fine. You can eat cheap... and you can eat well.

The historical ambience of this place can't be beat... It is similar to the origins "a chinese restaurant near the tracks" called the "Rice Bowl" in my home town was and is... I asked the owner about the original denizens, and he told me they got the land off the Union Pacific where they worked as john coolies, in exchange for back wages denied to them in the aftermath of completing the line... Actually, look for any Chinese restaurant near a rail line and you'll get a similar story... If that ain't a legacy, I don't know what is. It isn't a high class joint, but the tastes for Chinese food has changed... It is mostly the "Chop Suey" variety here, with plenty of dark, dead kind of sauce and wimpy vegetables, and dry rice that nobody ever eats... but it is authentic

Most of their meat dishes are tough! :( I love Chinese food and have tried it almost everywhere in Reno and Sparks, and I must say this is the worst!

The Shrimp Fried Rice is the best, especially at night when they put the day's scraps in it! I personally recomend the Schuan Chicken. It's spicy, but it hits the spot! Overall: 4 Stars Possible Improvements: Wipe the tables off more; they get really sticky.
