I came here after a long day of work. I ordered the wontons in spicy chili sauce and beef fried rice. Now I rather enjoyed the spicy wontons and I also liked the lettuce garnish they added to it. Most spicy wontons I’ve had never had that but I like it. It’s nice to have a crunch for added texture. Also I added the sauce from the wontons to the fried rice because it was a bit dry. Made it 3x better. The beef fried rice is quite good and I enjoyed this place. Now the spicy wontons weren’t that spicy so I asked for my chili oil on the side. It was way better in my opinion but my spicy tolerance is way higher than most so don’t overdue it folks. Play it safe and work your way up to the heat.

We ordered take out. It was ready within 15 min. from our call. We had house fried rice, honey walnut shrimp, Kung Pao chicken, Mongolian beef, chow mein, egg rolls. It was a lot. Adored the honey walnut shrimp — big juicy tender shrimp with broccoli. The Mongolian beef was also tender. We really enjoyed the flavors of the dishes, none too spicy. The egg rolls and chow mein were just okay. The shrimp and beef were outstanding. The fried rice was still good 3 days later; it had a nice mix of stuff and was tasty. The shrimp was so good that there was no leftover shrimp. We had loads of leftovers, portions were way more than PF Chang’s. Can’t wait to go back and try other menu items (they have duck, so we really want to go back). The restaurant is in a tiny almost dead looking corner strip mall. From one street you can see the sign for Mr. Holy Gao, but from a different street and from within the parking lot the restaurant has a different name. GPS told us where to go but when in the parking lot we couldn’t find it until we pulled out and saw the Holy Gao sign from the other street and had to double back to the strip mall. It’s not far from Gravity Heights.

Very delicious, very good service. We’re here on holiday from Boston. The price of this restaurant is much cheaper than that of our restaurant.

Authentic northern Chinese food! Loved it and I’ll definitely go there again if I’m ever back in San Diego! The staff was super friendly and large portion of food for the price. I saw a horrible rating saying the food is bad compared to China Town and I what kind of restaurants they went to. I guess they either went to the non authentic ones or the ones doing other styles of Chinese food. To me the Sichuan dishes and there northern dishes I got were pretty authentic. Enjoyed the taste from home overall.

The owner and staff are fun and friendly. The menu here offers many hard to find and unique dishes. If you like spicy food, there are a lot of options for you here, too.

We were there for lunch today and quite surprised at the portions of each dish for $7.99 lunch deals. Literally, you can have three people share two orders if not one. Busy during lunch hour so there’s a bit of wait time. After we ordered, the food did come fairly quickly. The shrimps are huge, fresh. Most dishes taste like home cook meals rather than restaurant food. They do not skimp on the ingredients. This is the freshest value meals I’ve tasted in a very long time. Must try.
