The hours we saw online were wrong (they open at 3), so we ended up arriving a little early. Even so, as we were in the car looking for somewhere else to go, the owner opened up early and invited us in. The menu is expansive (something like 100 different items, which can be broken down to maybe 35 items when you dont differentiate the meat), so I asked what he recommended, and I went with the Mongolian Beef. As I sat waiting, I looked around. The seats were comfortable, the ambiance was nice, and there was even a bit of a view of the charred Sonoma County hills.The serving size was quite large. The Mongolian Beef was delicious with a tiny kick. Others at my table got the lemon chicken and lemon chow mein, which I found good, but not great. The final dish we got was Ma Po Tofu, which also had a bit of a kick, and was personally my favorite dish (when paired with brown rice). The serving sizes were all too much, and Im happy to inform that the food tasted just fine leftover.By the way, I cant imagine the city of Oakmont EVER gets enough people to fill up that parking lot. So much parking, and an easy location to get to off the highway.Great experience. Will be back. I must try the chicken broccoli.

While visiting family at Oakmont we stopped in to have a meal, we ordered Egg Foo young, Sweet and Sour Pork and Kung Po Chicken. Every dish was fresh and so darn good, the staff very attentive, friendly, and the prices very reasonable. Next trip down I’ll be stopping in again for my favorite dish Egg Foo Young.

Ive been coming here for years now, but over the past few months it has gotten really bad. The egg rolls used to be nice and crispy with a rich seasoned interior. Now they are soggy and the vegetables are raw. Lately my usual Prawns in Walnut Sauce taste like they were deep fried a week ago and microwaved after I placed my order. What prompted my review was the Sweet & Sour Chicken. Soggy breading around dried out chicken that was like trying to chew shoe leather. It was so bad I had to spit it out and toss the whole container in the trash. Oh well, at least the Vegetable Fresh Rolls were good.I like the owners and this place is very close to my house, but I cant imagine ever going back. Im not sure what has happened, but the food is just plain terrible.

This is the best low-brow Chinese place left in Santa Rosa, I think. If you have an occasion to be near sleepy little Oakmont, this place is a refreshing break from the eye-wateringly expensive restaurants in Kenwood or Glen Ellen. The $10.99 lunch special is a great deal and so much food!The bathrooms were very clean and the atmosphere is nice and clean as well.

The food was wonderful! We had a variety of things. The walnut shrimp was to die for, lightly breaded and crispy and weren’t drenched in oil. The spicy egg plant was on point. The chicken and vegetables was oh so garlicky and fresh! And don’t get me started on their War Won Ton soup, simple, filling and delicious. You can tell they take pride in their restaurant, very cleanly and very kind staff, welcoming me and kindly seeing me out with well wishes. 😍 I will be coming here from now on for my Chinese food fix! Thank you so much 😊

Food was very fresh and good tasting. The staff was friendly and efficient. The food was brought out piping hot. Overall, I would certainly eat at Mei Don again.

We tried them when we moved in 2 yrs ago. I forgot how bad they are. Over priced very greasy. I think there’re in a good location to rip off the people who live in Oakmont. Go down to the shopping center on Calistoga now that good Chinese food and priced fair.
