Don't let the fake reviews fool you. This place is disgusting and the food is equally terrible. I got a cold plate of orange chicken that extremely chewy with fat and bones. Employees behind the counter are rude and carry on conversations in Chinese while you are interacting with them.This place could have potential if they purchased quality and hired someone to cook it properly.

This place is pretty much a more authentic panda express except it's self serve and they charge by weight. There's almost never a line so it's very quick and convenient - you can walk in and walk out with your food in 3 minutes.Unfortunately the past several times I've come here, the food has always been lukewarm and left sitting on the counter for hours. It's a shame because the food would be really good otherwise. I really hope they find a way to fix this because there's just not enough customers for precooked food to rotate quick enough.

Whoever rate this restaurant underneath a 4 or 5 I suggest them to consult a medical professional for mental illnesses. The owners is from China and as a Chinese person myself, their food is the most bussing bussing shit I ever had in IV (maybe also sus bowl but they r overpriced) Although it's self serve, it's very authentic. Xi jingping approves.

The quality of the food here is absolutely horrendous. It always seems like the food is a day old and not made with quality ingredients. I have given this place multiple tries and each time is has been equally disappointing. 0/10 would not recommend.

Awesome food and service. I love this restaurant, the owner of this restaurant is very kind and nice! They provide traditional Chinese food here, and I went there for many times. Highly recommend stir-fried egg with tomatoes and coconut shrimp.If you want to try some typical Chinese food, choose this restaurant!

Not sure how people are comparing this to a better version of Panda Express. At least at panda it’s fresh. Food was horrible. (Ended up throwing it out). I could tell it was horrible but I started putting food on the plate and it’s a 1lb minimum. So about 9$ and tax per 1lb.

Super yummy and self serve! I highly recommend the coconut shrimp! I got all of this for about $14
Clean your bathroom or dont allow customers to use it. Its disgusting. I spent 25 dollars on my food only to be disgusted after washing my hands.I didnt need to see female higiene products in the trash can.

Went to their Goleta restaurant only to discover that they had closed and redirected us to Isla Vista. All I can say is that my husband and I were extremely disappointed. We got there before noon and was expecting a restaurant, but discovered it was self serve. I asked if we could special order a dish and the you g man said no. They had plenty of different dishes to choose from and so we made our choices. I hate to say that everything was cold! Nothing was even warm, including the rice! Can't even say if the flavor was good as everything was cold. Unsure if whatever they use to keep the food warm was even on. Again extremely disappointed. And what made it even worse was the fact that the cook made himself and coworker(s) lunch that smelled absolutely divine that made our "buffet style" food less than mediocre. I was so looking forward to eating here, but unfortunately we won't be back.

Self serve, charged by the weight for a reasonable price. You could get a little bit of everything if you wanted to.Fried rice, chow mein, broccoli beef, orange chicken, Chinese bbq pork, black pepper chicken, fried fish, string beans, popcorn chicken, honey walnut shrimp, fries chicken (sometimes), fried shrimp (sometimes), and other stuff that I haven't gotten yet.Seems like they recently got a new chef. I liked the food so much before but now it is even better. I go almost every day and never get tired of it.

Sadly their restaurant in downtown Goleta has closed for good. Heard some chatter about this place so headed out.It's located in a small storefront in IV you enter and to the right there was a gentleman cooking the food. He directed us to a line of a variety of options, must have been 20 different dishes. He brought out this steaming hot dish of fried chicken and he gladly gave me a sample. That went in my container along with kung pao chicken, broccoli beef, fresh green beans and pepper chicken. All so good and $8.95 per pound.My advice...skip the rice and noodles and just go for the main dishes!
