“We have lived in RSD for 10 years and love all the options near us. One of our favorite go to restaurants is Pick Up Stix mainly this location in RSD. The food is delicious and the service is always given with a smile and genuine, personal care for quality and a desire to give the customer what they expect when their order is made. My family and I always enjoy walking in and being greeted with sincerity. This RSD location has always been consistent in taste and quality. Thank you!“

“Came on a whim with my wife and son for lunch. So glad we did! We got the soup dumplings, pork buns, fried dumplings, and scallion pancakes, all of which were excellent. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Bomb food 🥘 clean dining area good service“

“Our server was Roldan at the Chula Vista (Eastlake) location. He did perfectly with an order split between regular and gluten free, got everything the first time, & checked in efficiently without being intrusive.

We ordered the Chef's feast (for 2) and had leftovers. For the gluten-free entree, we substituted shrimp for the chicken in the Chang's Spicy Chicken (up charge $2.25), & it was excellent.

Menus do differ slightly by region, especially gluten-free options, but most are available in most places.“

“The salads are great, salmon is yummy❣🚀👍👍“

“I recently visited Xinjiang BBQ, and it was a fantastic experience! The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a casual night out with friends or family. The staff was friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed.

Food: The menu offers a wide selection of skewers, from classic lamb and chicken to more unique options like grilled prawns and vegetables. The skewers were all grilled to perfection—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. The highlight for me was the lamb skewers, which were seasoned just right and had that authentic smoky taste that’s hard to beat.

The restaurant also serves some great side dishes, like refreshing cucumber salad and crispy flatbread, which complemented the BBQ perfectly. Their homemade dipping sauces were excellent and added an extra layer of flavor to the skewers. If you’re a fan of spicy food, definitely“

“We celebrated my grandma's birthday dinner and she had a great time. It was 7 of us with 7 entrees that were absolutely delicious. Bree our front of the house expert was so awesome and helpful, came at the right times and her recommendations (Mongolian Trio , Korean fried chicken) were 10/10. My grandma left super happy and felt special with her happy birthday song and delicious dessert. 10/10. Recommend!!!“

“The Chinese food was good!“

“Soooo good! I love that I can get either salt and pepper tofu or tofu in orange sauce here so I can eat along with my family. My family loves their salt and pepper wings (they were delicious when I had them years ago). Always friendly service. Have dined in and done take out as well, always very quick too. A gem in Eastlake!“

“I moved away from San Diego in 2017 and their salt and pepper tofu is the one meal I miss the most 😂 Sooo good“

“Been good things about this place so decided to give it a shot. Interior was very nice and clean. My wife mentioned it was great for a date place. Food was fresh and reasonable prices. We had dinner ala cart. There is an option for lunch menu for dinner for 2 dollars more which is a good deal or5 dollars more you can get soup egg roll and shrimp appetizers with al cart. Service was fast and pleasant. I would recommend giving it a try if like Chinese food.“

“Tasty & fair prices. I only give 3 starts to the service because the two times I've been there, I felt that I was being pressured to finish and go and I didn't like it. I think I should be able to take my time to enjoy my meal and eat in peace specially if we have kids, but they are constantly coming over to the table and start picking up your plates before you're even finished.“

“So this is like a ghost kitchen. Sort of. It’s a place you can get food, and there’s people behind the scenes, but there’s no a person in sight. Everything is done on Grubhub/UberEats/Doordash.
First time in person is wild for me. Just show your details from your phone to a camera and the door opens with your food when the app says your food is ready.

But as far as a “classic cheeseburgers” go, it’s a smash burger. No edits allowed (as least from what I saw)
That is what I got. And I gotta be honest. It’s one of the best smashed burgers I’ve ever had. The burgers are THIN and have that crispy laced edges. The sauce is insane, and the bread is perfect. Onions and pickles as well. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. And it’s a local place too. Which I love. Since it’s not a giant chain.“

“Great food and cooked at the moment!! I came here to SD for short vacations with my family, and we wanted something for dinner at the hotel, so drove here and great service and surprised that when I ordered food was cooked in that moment, great taste and portions for a very good price! Highly recommended!“

“The moo shu wraps were already filled when the food was served. They were torn, soggy, and messy. I have never been served pre-filled moo shu wraps.

I could not put the plum sauce into the wrap as I have always done. I had to smear it on top, making the dish even messier.

When I fill my wraps, I put a lot of vegetables into them, including filling them end to end. Instead, my wraps were not full and had empty wrap at the ends, so my first and last bites were just flour wrap.

Receiving the vegetables inside the wraps also meant that there was less to the entree. I normally have a pile of vegetables to take home, but not in this case. My photo shows four wraps, but there were five.

The quality of the vegetables was very good, but I was not happy with the dish because of the aforementioned.

All of the other food that my guests and I had was otherwise good. Service was good if slightly inattentive, but staff was easily found when needed.

The complimentary crispy noodles and dipping sauce before the meal and the fortune cookies and almond cookies after the meal added positively to the experience.“

“CASH ONLY. The link to the online menu is compromised, it will give your device malware if you aren’t careful.

Great food, great people. The comments suggested the salt n pepa wings and Singapore noodles are good so I tried thems, both are great.

The dine in experience is admittedly mid, BUT they do have a small shrine in a corner to San Shin, the mountain god deity worshipped in the times since before Mahayana Buddhism spread throughout China and Korea. San Shin has its roots in ancient shamanism. If you want some extra luck, bow to it and say “San Wang Dae San Shin” 9 times. You may even need to prostrate yourself, based on your Luck stat.“

“Great service always! they are very attentive even when calling in an order, they answer all questions and take note to any special request. Nothing has changed her in all the years they have been in business. I will continue to come here for the best chicken in the city!! Highly recommend this location!“

“Golden Mandarin in Chula Vista is open on the start of this ratings it says it's closed. But it's open i know cuz I'm here right now! Lol! Golden Mandarin is the BEST!! GREAT FOOD I LOVE THE HOUSE NOODLES AND THE LUMPIAS.“

“Absolutely the star of the Grossmont mall food court. The food is is so good and legit. The family that runs it are very kind. Everything we've ordered seems to be made fresh so it takes longer than most food court options, but it's well worth it. They've been able to customize dishes such as using less salt for food that we are sharing with our toddler.

They are unfortunately closing up this month, but the good news is that they are moving to work at another business in their family, Chopsticks Inn, which is only about a mile away.“

“Hole in the wall Chinese food. Nuff said.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and it still feels the same today as it did back then. It's a small, cramped Chinese/ Vietnamese restaurant with a lousy parking lot. Service is minimal but the new staff friendly enough. There was auntie in the corner speaking loudly on her FaceTime call while making dumplings. Felt just like home.

There are about 10 tables inside and the menu has a variety of Chinese inspired dishes.

The must get here is definitely the egg noodles with wonton and char sui.

We tried the specialty honey walnut shrimp and it was a let down. Soggy shrimp with very little sauce.

The fried chicken leg was crispy and savory and the fried rice was very yummy. Definitely recommend these 2 dishes and the egg noodles!

Overall this place offers a lot of value, but I would stick with the fried rice or noodles dishes. Good lucking finding parking!“

“' ' ' ' We Love The House Special Fried Rice. Yum Yum Yum 😋🤤🤤🤤. Great Staff Very Great Nice People. ' ' ' '“

“Great food, the owner is so awesome. She is extremely helpful and polite. It's a pleasure eating there. All of the entrees are super flavorful. The lapu lapu is so good. The honey walnut shrimp is super good. They have top tier fried rice and salt and pepper chicken wings. Great spot.

Very underated.“

“The food was delicious. The music and the vibe of the place was amazing. The staff was attentive and on point!“

“love it, place and food are good.. servers sre friendly.“

“The Sesamed honey chicken is delicious I even started eating before taking the photo. The staff was super nice and the service was quick. This is going to be my new spot. If you’re in the area I really recommend coming out and giving it a look. Thank you guys and I will be back.“

“The food was amazing! Its like another world experience being there. The service is super attentive and the portions are huge! We got vegetable fried rice and chow mean plus the orange chicken AND egg flower soup. EVERYTHING was delicious 😋“

“Love going here! Been going here for years even before their renovations. Service has always been super attentive and the staff are so friendly. Favorite dumpling spot! We love the lamb dumplings. Their lunch specials are such a great deal!“

“This is our second time eating here and it tastes as delicious as the first! If I could give this place ten stars I would! The food is made fresh by order! It does take 15 to 20 minutes to prepare but the freshness makes it so worth it! The portions are good as well. There is a waiting area for you to sit while you wait for your food but everything is take out. The service is good! Everyone is nice. Everything is so savory it’s almost hard to stop eating!“

“The food is really good and its cooked to perfection in my opinion. Its not super greasy and everything is made fresh nothing sitting under a light or on a warmer. Its a little pricey but its all worth it for really good well-seasoned food.“

“Says Chinese food but also has Thai food but a bunch of Vietnamese writing. Red curry is spicy. They included tail on for shrimp in the curry. Kung pao chicken was crispy and had a nice amount of heat. Pork and Chinese broccoli was good. Thai noodles with beef needs improvement and more beef. They didn’t include rice with my curry and wanted to charge $2.75 for some which is absurd. Parking lot in back“

“Needed a hole in the wall Chinese spot and I found it. Tracked them down from their second location in Grossmont Mall. Food is actually good. For San Diego, this is as good as you can get off Convoy. Classic family owned restaurant, looks like it’s been in business a while. Very kind and attentive with awesome food.“

“Believe it or not a restaurant with three different cuisines that works. Felt like. A good old country breakfast and found this nearby. When I got there I changed my mind and ordered machaca and eggs with flour tortillas.Saw some delicious looking sausage and eggs go by. I am excited to try this place for lunch or dinner.“

“This place has been open for decades & is one of the best! Great lunch specials & always fresh food. Their wonton soup is a hit or miss, sometimes there’s not that many wontons, more broth than anything but it’s so delicious! Definitely recommend it!“

“The Best Ever Chinese Restaurant I Have Ever Been To. My Tita's Loved It So Mucho!!!! 5 star Rating“

“Nostalgia, hits in the childhood
The food, ambience and price is perfect. This place actually cares about taste, texture and heigeine.the food sits right with me and doesnt hurt my stomach like other small chinese food places. As long as they continue to operate the way they do I WILL NEVER stop giving them my business. 10/10 the independently owned corner chinese food place ive been looking for.“

“Christmas Eve just called to see a time they closed and they were closing but still offered to make me a dinner. I really appreciated her kindness but I insisted they enjoy the holiday and didn’t have to stay longer just for me. I will call again to try there food when opened. Kindness matters“

“Is a place to be. Been going to ying li for years, 10/10, been going since I was a kid, then as a teenager, and even now ive been bringing my friends. There's nothing better than the service here who are quick and nice, the atmosphere is great. Its my favorite restaurant. Live, laugh, ying li.“

“Drove from the naval base and back, ordered salt and pepper chicken wings and barely sat down for 5 minutes before my order was complete. These traveled so well. I patiently waited 20 minutes before eating them at home and they stayed crunchy. Is considerably better than royal mandarin. Customer service was amazing.“

“Been coming here since I was a little kid and will forever go“

“Lunchtime specials are where it’s at! There is no place in Hillcrest with this portion, quality, and variety for under $10. You’ve gotta try the chicken teriyaki!“

“Fast, Friendly, and Amazing. Don’t know how else to describe Golden Bay. Staff is kind and inviting. We received our appetizer and drinks fast. We ordered the Mongolian beef and Salt and Pepper chicken wings. The wings were moist, crunchy and packed with flavor. The Mongolian beef was soft but easy to tear. We order some fried rice on the side but we were so stuffed we decided to take it home. The portions were large and were more than enough for 2 people.“

“I love this place! I was having a real hard time finding decent Chinese food here in SD until I discovered City Dragon. OMG! So good! And they are so nice every time I call for delivery which is free! The food is so delicious and so fresh tasting!“

“I’ve had the pork fried rice, the sweet & sour chicken and the salt and pepper wings and they were all fantastic! The food is well cooked. It’s well seasoned and they give you large portions for a reasonable price. Definitely my new favorite place for Chinese food.“

“I love love love this place!!! My WIFE introduced me to them...the food is so yummy!!“

“Chinese food TO-DIE-FOR! fresh, flavorful, cooked to perfection crunchy vegetables, tender juicy cuts of meat, fresh tasting sea food, courteous service, reasonably priced. Lunch, dinner & to-go, they can deliver reasonable distances. You must discover this deliciousness if you have discriminate Chinese food taste. I absolutely love them, and they're in Lemon Grove... WooHoo!“

“What a true hidden gem in the heart of San Ysidro near the border. Hands down one of the best Chinese food restaurants I ever had in the area and in town.YuJing Chinese Restaurant is the real deal when it comes to authentic Chinese food.

I have been here several times now and I never had one bad meal. The staff is very caring and polite to help you with any questions on the menu.

I highly recommend the salt and pepper chicken wings that also comes with fried rice. Also the Mongolian beef and fried rice lunch combo is a must to try.

If you are a vegetarian, meat lover or seafood lover you are in for a real treat. The food portions are very generous. No matter what you are craving you can't go wrong with your food selections.

You have a large private parking lot for easy access for parking. I look forward to coming back again soon.“

“Best sushi in San Diego at reasonable prices! Delicioso!!!“

“Same food as Zen and excellent service.

Order ahead and take it to go as it does tend to get busy here.

With limited dining space, you'll probably enjoy your meal more at home.

Tip well.“

“My parents, little brother and I were originally going to go to the pho next door, but we waited almost 10 min and no menu or drink offers, so we got up and went here, and WOW what a difference! They greeted us right away with menus and drinks, customer service was great and the food was even better. 10/10“
