As a start, they give you a hot pot of tea. We had beef noodle, spicy mongolischen beef, already too much food for two. Noodles were bland but beef was very tasty.

Finding this place was a bit of an adventure since we took the wrong turn. But boy was it the best choice. The food was incredible. Great prices and huge plates. We had 2 adults and 1 child and could not finish 2 entrees.

Best Chinese food on the Central Coast of California. ALWAYS fresh, HOT off the grill, wonderfully delicious and their service oriented staff is always checking in.

North China Restaurant is good overall. I went there for lunch on a Wednesday. Parking on the street was pretty easy. The dining room had some open tables when I came in and I was a little confused because there was no register or hostess station by the front door. I was directed by one of the servers to head through the restaurant and through the back door to a waiting area in the back where I was to write my name on the waitlist. There is a little place to sit and read the menu. I was seated after 5-minutes. There is a lunch special with about a dozen standard plates which include soup, egg roll, fried won ton, and fried rice for $14-15 dollars. The table was clean, and a server came right away and took my drink order. The same server quickly came back with my drink and took my order of the lunch special featuring pork fried rice. A very rich and tasty egg drop soup came right away along with hot tea and my diet coke. The soup was very dense and fill with eggs, tofu, and vegetables. Very tasty. Shortly thereafter my lunch special came. Steaming hot, nice looking, and neat presentation of chow mien with lots of bits of pork, generous portion of fried rice, and sizeable egg roll and smallish won ton. I started with the egg roll, and it was surprisingly good with bits of meat and vegetables. The fried wonton was a bit overcooked and didn’t contain much of anything I could distinguish. I dipped both fried pieces in a good sweet and sour sauce they brought. The pork chow mien was very good. The noodles were finer in thickness and texture than what I’ve been served in other restaurants, and I liked it. There were good bits of pork and vegetables throughout the serving. Overall, very nice taste and texture. The fried rice was light and fluffy. Nicely colored and pleasant tasting. I had some trouble distinguishing vegetables or meat in it and prefer more little goodies in the fried rice. The servers were excellent and very attentive checking back with me multiple times and refilling my drinks. The servers were nice, and I could see them smiling at me from under their masks. This was a nice place to eat lunch.

Interesting location and easily accessible if you know where your going (locals…). The food is great except for the sweet and sour pork (not my favorite) far too much breading and not the best choices of meat. The honey walnut shrimp is a must along with the Kung pow chicken.

It was my third time in this restaurant, and they do have better Chinese food offerings than other restaurants. Though our egg foo young didn’t taste fresh, and it was soaked in sauce, the appetizer platter wasn’t worth it except for the egg roll, and shrimps and our soup came warm, not hot.

Heard really good things about this place but sadly it didn’t live up to expectations. Waited about 40 mins for food and then Orange chicken was clumped together and very soggy.. like picking it up with chopsticks stripped the skin off and it would slip back on plate. Chicken chow mein was just lacking any kind of flavor and the chicken was pretty bland as well. The only saving grace was the egg rolls which were good. Overall, won’t dine again.

The shrimp was very good. The mongolian beef was subpar to me. The egg foo young was worse. The fried rice was over the top, with peas and carrots taste more like peas fried rice. Service was outstanding! I just wish the food was as well. One note, they won many awards from the past, the last one back in 2017. Looks like a lot has changed. Maybe they need to revisit what made them so good, or perhaps it was one of those days in the life of a restaurant. Anyway, there are no plans to return. I did mention The Peal East restaurant! Right!

Wow, I am so very disappointed and a bit angry. This was my second time trying North China. I ordered chicken with string beans take out for $24 and it was 95% beans and 5% chicken. Service was great so I might give them one more chance.
