food is very very authentic，especial the lamb soup! I and my husband ordered lamb soup noodles and lamb giblet soup respectively. It's really delicious!

Decided to try this place out last night - Got the pork chow mein to-go and I like how they packed in the food to make sure the customers get a worthy meal. I like how the menu has such a diverse menu that you typically wouldn't see in IV otherwise. My only concern was that there was a small hair in my chili oil packed to go, which was a bit of a turn off. Otherwise, i want to come back and try some of their other dishes!

This was my first time here. Got the egg and veggie soup, shrimp fried rice, and the honeydew milk tea. Wasn't expecting much but everything was honestly so good ! Really enjoyed the soup and could become a comfort soup. Super yummy 10/10

Food is cooked well although bland and underwhelming. Food is clean but simple with a single note profile. Service consists of 1 english speaking employee in a cramped

I think the four star average review is pretty accurate. On a good day, this place makes absolutely amazing Chinese food, but the consistency isn't there. I keep coming back because on good days it's really, really good! On a bad day it's about average for Chinese food in Santa Barbara, so there's really no risk.Some of my favorite dishes are the stir fried rice noodles with beef, Mongolian beef, braised eggplant, and spicy Szechuan style fish. Considering the crazy turnover (it's always packed) the service is fine and dishes come out quickly.
Fulfilled my craving for good asian food! The Mongolian beef was amazing, and the beef was cooked super well and it was soft and tender and instantly melted in my mouth. The mapo tofu did lack a little bit of flavor, I think if I got meat with it, it would've been better. But super good service, one of the workers was amazing and helped box everything up for us.

Ordered the seafood noodle soup and was really disappointed. For the price I paid, I anticipated more than a few pieces of veggies, seafood and green onions. The broth had decent flavor but was its only saving grace. Bummer.

If you can handle spicy, get at least one from the Hot Chilli Oil series!!!If you can't really handle spicy stuff, the Sour Soup series will work for you.酸汤和水煮系列都巨好吃！量还大！Definitely big portion... It took me three meals to finish this lol.Soooo good... A little expensive but the portion was worth it. I can tell you that the fish in hot chilli oil is for more than 1 person.Anyways... great customer service :D Water is provided immediately after I sit down (Trust me you will need it).Idk what to say... I've been there for at least 5 or 6 times, and every time I tried something new, and I never got disappointed... Great food great everything!

Arrived UCSB! Needed to get an Asian meal cuz maybe someone's last before the holidays. Umm... place filled with bunch of Asians. Good sign. Thought it was a good choice. Was not expecting anything. Chow mein, dim sum, and orange chicken... was content. People around us were ordering the soups and other dishes, I think this will suffice for an Asian fix, especially if you can't get to ktown in LA, Monterey park, San Gabriel area, Irvine, garden grove... I was told it's hard to get good Asian in Santa Barbara.
