The steamed fish with ginger and scallions was perfect. The eggplant dish was also a standout.

I’ve only ever ordered takeout but am looking forward to an in person dining experience. The food is fantastic, so flavorful, everything I’ve ordered has been delicious!

I love this place. We come here once a week. The service is wonderful. The food even better. This is our go to Chinese restaurant. The soup dumplings are the best. Nothing comes close to it in or around Encinitas.

While staff was friendly and service was quick Food quality was really low ! I would expect restaurant level food quality but it feels like a tourist scam I couldn’t finish the crispy duck since the plum sauce or duck smelled like garbage bag soup was full of starch and seemed like they make all the soups from one starch base just add some canned mushrooms or some retired shrimps I ended up in my room with diarrhea 🙁 The first and the last visit! I guess they don’t care locals wouldn’t go there anyway just bring more tourists!

Chin, the owner greeted me and gave me personal advice on what items I should try. He found out that I liked veggies and he brought me a side of veggies for free. The Kungpao chicken (spice level 3) was phenomenal! I loved that they served the egg roll with a sweet and spicy sauce, and brought me extra hot mustard for dipping too! I will definitely come back soon!

Delicious food and great service. We will definitely be back!
My sister recommended this hidden gem! The food was excellent and unique. The Plum Tree Beef was delicious. The service was outstanding and friendly. What SURPRISED me most was the beautiful decor! Chinese furniture, lanterns, art and even TABLECLOTHS made me feel like going OUT to lunch was truly a SPECIAL OCCASION again!!!

Don’t try the Crispy Duck… cooked a week ago, comes barely warm, not sure why there are chines buns on the plate when it is so dry and the plum sauce is cold
Excellent restaurant, great authentic food, very nice ambiance. We stopped by as we were in this mall for something, and the restaurant by far exceeded our expectaion.It looks like the bad reviews must by friends of the competitor nearby.

First time ever coming here, and to be honest…I almost went somewhere else because of the reviews. I am SO happy I didn’t. First of all, the hostess/server was incredibly warm and accommodating. The decor of the place is beautiful, and the music is so calming. Definitely a place to escape the world for a meal on your own, but also a nice place to meet a friend on a shopping day ;) The bathroom was impeccably clean, which I feel is always an indication of how clean a kitchen is. Food came fast - was piping hot, and even before then, she brought me a complimentary soup. Both the soup and my jasmine tea were delicious. For my main course, I ordered beef chow mein. Let me tell you - they did not skimp on the beef. Towards the end of my visit, a gentleman came out from the kitchen to check on me as well. Overall super happy with my experience, and I will absolutely be back soon! Thanks so much!
