This is a quirky little spot—you can get breakfast, Chinese food, and even alcohol all under one roof. I came here in the morning for breakfast, and it was pretty decent. Definitely feels like a place that caters to locals on a budget. For two plates of food plus two coffees, the total was only $26, which is a great deal. Service was quick, there’s plenty of parking, and it’s conveniently close to the Motel 6 where we stayed. Overall, you get what you pay for.

The food and environment is below basic hygiene standard. The foods already got rotten.

The environment here is friendly and a few patrons seemed super familiar with staff. It’s a very casual restaurant with lots of options. When we arrived it took close to 10 minutes to be acknowledged or sat. A girl who was waiting before us had said she’d been waiting and hadn’t spoken to anyone yet either. Yes, they were busy but a quick “I’ll be with you” would have been appreciated.
When we did actually interact with staff they were very friendly and helpful. Although they claimed to be a little behind we got our food in what I consider a pretty fast amount of time. They did forget our drinks and I did over hear they missed a few things on someone else’s order but again, they were busy and possibly short staffed. Again -THE STAFF IS FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE.
The atmosphere is inviting and the prices are SO GOOD! The portion you get for the price is unbeatable. The only issue I had was the food itself. We were repeatedly told this place had the best Chinese in town. If that’s true, I won’t be trying any other places in town because this was absolutely some of the worst Chinese I’ve experienced in a long time. And I really hate to say that because they are such nice people.
We can start with the fried rice. It’s very plain and tasted to ME like brown rice. Adding soy sauce to it didn’t not fix it. I was also disappointed there weren’t much vegetables like carrots, although there was onion. I also ordered vegetable lo mein and while I appreciated the variety of vegetables I didn’t get a good portion of noodles because it was completely overloaded with bean sprouts. Maybe 60% of the dish was bean sprouts. The flavor was good though so I might order again if they took out the bean sprouts. The bbq pork was one of the most atrocious bbq pork dishes I have ever seen. I will share the photo because it speaks for itself but please note I took the photo after the person I ate with had some. He was utterly disappointed in the appearance and taste. I did not try it. I got beef and broccoli which was okay except it had an overwhelmingly strong FISH taste. The texture of the beef was soft and tender but the taste was off putting because it gave SEAFOOD not BEEF. Lastly, I had an eggroll. I took one bite and before I even started chewing the bite I was disappointed because it tasted burnt. I literally just took the one bite and that was that.
I would not return here for Chinese food. However they offer plenty of other dining options that interest me like prime rib and steak that I would consider coming again to try.
Overall, no matter how friendly the staff is or clean the environment is, the Chinese food that WE had here was way too far under par. I would rather drive 45 minutes into Victorville to eat at golden chopsticks than eat CHINESE here again.
And as a side note my stomach is kind of rumbling after this meal.
Thank you.

An unforgettable dining experience! The service was friendly, quick, and knowledgeable. We loved the food—the fusion twist on traditional dishes was brilliant. The sashimi was incredibly fresh, and the spicy tuna rolls were out of this world. The ambiance was modern, with a calming vibe and intimate seating. It’s a perfect place for a date or a night with friends. Highly recommend!

I order the big egg roll price at $11.99 and it was awful I will never order anything from them ever again. It's not worth spending your money at this place.
