I have been coming here for many years whenever I am sick, injured or woke up the wrong way. Whenever I am referring others here, the Fake Evergreen on Culver shows up. Make sure you come to Evergreen on Jeffrey!! For the real Evergreen.

Great customer service and took the time to explain in details how to use and consume the herbal medicine. They observed sanitary ways to handle the herbs. The lady at the front made sure she wore gloves and even washed her hands after taking of her gloves before touching other bags of herbs. Very knowledgeable and reasonable pricing on herbs. We highly recommend this store for your herbal needs.

Ever since 20 years ago that I got flu during pregnancy and needed help till now my daughter is already in college, I have been a loyal customer! Doctor Zhu and Vivian are always helpful and reliable for any occasion. Absolutely the best Chinese herb doctor and shop that I can find in Orange County.
Vivian is always available via phone or in person, they are always willing to offer a hand. There were times that my daughter was taking antibiotics for two weeks but still coughing, doctor Zhu's herb medicine worked each time and never failed. I would highly recommend this place foe anyone.

Let me start by saying the past 5 months or so I've been having really bad cramps for the first 2 days of my time of the month . My friend told me about this place how great it was for her to try it out . So I went and did 1/2 hour acupuncture and he sold me some herbs . Today is my first day of my period and I played tennis and did errands today like nothing ! I am a believer ! First time doing acupuncture and I'm amazed at the results !!
