    “We got 2 combo plates (B) and i single (A) and man they load up the food! We got chow mein and rice as sides and beef & broccoli 🥦 Coconut 🥥 Shrimp 🍤 and Orange 🍊 Chicken 🐔. Honestly, it's enough food to split. I got an extra plate, which I probably didn't need. We took a lot home. The chow main was delicious, but the rice was pretty bland. The main dishes were good too. The service was fine. The place itself isn't much for atmosphere or decoration, it's pretty plain. Also to note, a few doors down there is an over 18 only pub or bar, and lots of guys were standing outside smoking.”

    “After trying the dan dan noodles at a vegan pop-up market today, I can not stop thinking about them! The noodles, the OmniPork, the crisp veggies. Amazing. My boyfriend had the spring rolls and really liked them. I am looking forward to trying the rest of the menu because the whole menu looks fantastic! The staff was super friendly, and the portions were generous. Who can complain about vegan Chinese food? I can not, as it is challenging to find and is one of my favorite cuisines. I will continue to support this local restaurant and recommend giving it a try!”

The crew here is consistently super friendly and welcoming, and they manage to keep the line moving fast even during peak hours. Top-notch service every single time!”

There was literally only three open spaces left. This tells me this shop does a good job, making the clientele come back. I came at the right time, I got the fresh noodles from the wok! I also got the bigger plate—three orange chicken as well! For the food and price, I can't complain. Everyone did a wonderful job from the front end, too the prep chef's. Nice! Good.

    “Came here for dinner around 8 during my stay at Sycuan Casino. After looking at the menu at the front, we decided what we wanted and ordered at the counter. We ordered the Shumai, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and Mongolian Beef. The food was good; had better elsewhere. The rice was a little dry. The staff was friendly during our interactions at the counter and when we got out food. No table service. The atmosphere is a little loud given the location in the casino, but we were still able to have a conversation. I wouldn't mind coming back if staying at Sycuan Casino.”
