One of the best Chinese restaurants in Monterey County. 1 or 2-star reviews have absolutely no idea what they’re talking a out. Going here with my girlfriend has always been an absolute pleasure. It’s affordable, good for takeout, and the dine-in is just perfect. This restaurant comes with some of the most unique dishes, ranging from Mandarin shrimp to cold spicy noodles. Definitely recommend anything with their mandarin sauce and the traditional dishes they offer.

Food was hot and fresh, the house fried rice had way more rice, carrots and peas than meat and had only one shrimp, not as filling as it should’ve been. The other menu options may be better options that won’t leave you still hungry. Was not impressed tge food was okay nothing to write home about.

Ordered chicken broccoli to go. I really need to remember to ask about whether a dish includes rice because this one didn’t and it would have tasted so much better if it had been paired with rice. That being said, the meal was delicious. The meat was stir-fried in a rich, savory garlic sauce and the broccoli and chestnuts were crisp and fresh.

Amazing food! Great staff. And absolutely amazing service. The staff was nice enough to make veggie version of their chicken dishes with tofu. And I loved every bite of it. They can also make Dan Dan noodles vegetarian. Definitely ask for that next time you are there

The food was just okay, but it was very hot. The service was not good at all. Workers would sit down and we had to turn around to make eye contact for them to come over. When we asked for a tea refill, by their facial expressions you’d think we requested their first born child.

The spicy chicken (Chongqing Chicken) with chilli was phenomenal. So much flavor depth. I also loved the cashew chicken, I highly recommend it if you are looking for a non spicy dish. The beef broccoli was also great. Everything was fresh to order. I would Monterey for this place.

The food was very authentic and delicious, I couldn’t stop eating. I’m not kidding. I ate the entire table and the restaurant too. Okay, but genuinely, it was SO good. I regret that I forgot to get dessert to go because I was so stuffed. I actually would go back just to get the dessert if I could. The egg and tomato soup, I would not recommend, but I would recommend everything else that I ordered, which was 9 different dishes. The restaurant was clean and the bathroom scared me a little because it was so dark. Asides from the food and environment, the service was great, and, in accordance, I tipped a lot. I unfortunately forgot to take photos, but I recommend this place!
