I went with my kids worst experience ever. As soon as we walked in the waiter was hesitant to help. He then asked if my kids were going to be quiet and not yell and scream. He moved two customers he had to another table and then apologized to other customers ahead of time for my kids being there. Mind you we were walking in had not even sat down and my kids had not even spoke a single word! I got up and left because he was discriminating my kids. Like who does that? I had to explain to my kids we couldn’t eat there because some people can’t act like adults and treat EVERYONE fair! They act like they are running some high end dining restaurant when in reality they run a business with wood boards nailed into the door and windows!

I love the chicken fried rice! This has to be the best Chinese food restaurant in SM! The food is always ready within 15 minutes of ordering and always comes out hot, fresh and delicious!

Horrible horrible customer service. Every single time me and my family went in they acted like they didnt want to sit us at a table. Sometimes they would say take out only and there were people sitting in the dining room. Completely rude workers! They shouldnt be in business if they dont want people sitting in their dining room. I used to love going here, but now we wont step foot in there because of the horrible customer service!

Straight up, one of the best places for good food. Make sure you order carefully, everything on the menu is its own separate item.

Ordered from their website and when I picked up the order they included fried rice for free! We have rice at home but we wont say no to fried rice! Thanks

We eat here about every week.they make the best walnut shrimp and egg foo yung. My son is a vegetarian so he orders the tofu dishes. Only thing that i dont like is that you dont get any rice unless you order separate. Ordered a chicken dish with cashews .it wasnt good at all. Dog refused to even eat the chicken. So that was 13 dollars wasted.

The outside of the restaurants windows were boarded up.When I arrived at noon - other than the server- no one was there.He might have been having a tough day because he wasnt very friendly.The food was pretty good and the service was pretty quickI would probably give this place a second try

My office ordered lunch from here today, and both the food and their customer service is outstanding! I have the Orange chicken lunch special and it comes with an egg roll, soup AND a huge portion of fried rice! It is delicious but not too greasy as a lot of American Chinese food is. It is a great value for the price and will be part of my dinner as well! There was a communication error and the Pot Stickers I ordered were not rung up. When I called about it I didnt fully understand that I wasnt being charged for it and was grumpy (hangry) for a moment on the phone trying to understand. They promptly brought the order of pot stickers, free of charge. That was an incredibly courteous thing to do, especially when I certainly did not deserve it. I apologize for me hungry induced frustration and Thank you for your patience and great customer service, we will be ordering more often!EDIT: You MUST try the Pot Stickers! They are nearly the size of my fist and they are so obviously fresh and home made. Its another large portion and they are very tasty!

This is beginning to be a favorite place of ours. Their prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get, and the amount is a lot! I ordered pot stickers and was surprised at how big they were! My partner is in love with their egg foo young. Im trying new things each time and have yet to be disappointed.

Very clean place, and service is quick. The workers are always smiling and friendly. They even given use extra free food and deserts because we have been polite. Me and my wifes favorite Chinese restaurant in town. Also, wife is Chinese and picky with authenticity of places. So two thumbs up!!!!

All the positive reviews this place got must have been paid for or they have no idea what theyre talking about. Ordered 4 entrees and when I received it noticed there was no rice and called the restaurant back the manager says it dont come with rice, you should of asked. What? How do you eat Chinese food without rice? Then he says its complicated right now. Whatever! Now on to the food, everything was super bland, the fried fish was half cooked and the rest was greasy and inedible. Total waste of $60 and another $8 for rice that should of came with the meal. Save your money and eat instant Ramen and be happier.

We were the only people in the restaurant at first. We were worried. We ordered the B dinner but substituted for sweet and sour chicken and Kung pao chicken. We got the sizzling rice soup, egg roll, and fried shrimp. We could have stopped there and taken the dinner home. There was too much to eat(without making pigs of ourselves). Food was very good. Service was polite but a little slow but then we werent in any hurry for a change. Prices are fair. Well go back.

I originally put that the service wasnt the best. I take that back. The service is excellent. Every single time I come here.. They are so kind. The food is made FRESH. 🔥 They dont like to bombard you a million x asking if your ready to order and i like that. I ordered delivery today. Not a lot of delivery places in town. And they came fast! The food was HOT. they put all the bells n whistles in the box. Highly recommend

Terrible. Empty, no music which is always awkward. Food tasted like poorly heated up microwave dishes, and the fruit flies kept us from staying long. Wont be back.

Very good Chinese food. Food is always consistently good and they are very quick to get your food out. I just wish they had more dinner special options. Like most Chinese restaurants you always get lots of food for the price!

This is the place I go for Chinese in Santa Maria, they use prawns instead of shrimp and anything with shrimp is awesome. Prices are a little high, quality isnt like a place LA or Frisco, but for the central coast about as good as it gets.
