Worst chinese food I've ever had. There was zero flavor in the orange chicken and the vegetable fried rice tasted like bad eggs and grass. It's so expensive too, especially for food that's not even good. I won't eat here again. Sorry to leave a bad review but you guys need to do something different with your recipes.

I would give it 2 stars, but the prices on the menu were cheaper than what I was actually charged.
Also, the barbecue pork is not good. Overcooked, very chewy, not flavored right, and so watery that all the sauce leaked out into the bag and got everything sticky.

Delicious, fortifying and I knew within the first few bites it was going to be just what I needed after an arduous hike.
Staff was very warm and courteous, and the atmosphere was very cozy.

Just be sure you read on the front menu prices are raised by 2 usd , and minimum extra service charge is 15 percent , but they added 18 percent . I understand if you service charge the tables who are at least 4-6 but tables of 3 is a joke. The food was nothing special , pork ribs very chewy . Not recommend .

Two of us has seaweed soup and chicken Schezwan style. Both were very good, and one order was ample for two people. The server was prompt and pleasant. The decor is typical strip-mall but don’t let that deter you, the food is what matters.
Great food and services !!

For this small town I’m going with 5 stars. The food IS GOOD. Huge selection with decent prices. That sizzling beef thing really is the bomb. The garlic green beans are damn fresh as well. The dumplings are big boys and damn good. We also got the mushu. It was mushu. Nothing special. The dragon lady that runs it is on it. Don’t expect a lot of interaction but she’ll take care of you. All up you can’t go wrong. Oh their house made hot sauce is the bomb.

Ordered takeout while visiting Mariposa. The food was delicious, they had vegetarian and vegan options. Fast service, friendly staff.

This is a great spot if you’re craving real Chinese food, not the fast food kind. It’s a small, family-run place with that classic Chinese restaurant vibe you see on TV: round tables, Chinese decor, simple and homey. Also, they’ve got the AC on blast, which is a nice bonus, especially on a hot day.
When we went (right at opening on a weekday), it was just the owner running both the front and the kitchen. Even though he was super busy, he still took the time to check in on us, which we really appreciated.
We got the fileted fish which is usually hot and spicy, but I asked if it could be made not spicy, and he made it just how I wanted. It was delicious. We also had the sweet and sour pork. Big portion, good for two people, and we still had leftovers to take home.
The shrimp fried rice was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. I ended up ordering another one to go, and the owner gave me a bigger portion without charging extra.
We also had Thai iced tea. Perfect sweetness. My sister wanted one to-go, but they ran out of cups. Luckily, we had a venti-sized cup and he filled it up, no problem, just charged the regular price.
Prices are super reasonable, portions are solid, and the food is made with care. Just be patient if they’re busy—it’s worth it. Definitely give this place a try.

This is based on three visits.
First visit
I ordered Kung Pao chicken. What I got was a plate of Kung Pao celery and onions with three small pieces of chicken.
Second visit
I ordered spicy chicken and some noodles. The spicy chicken tasted like grease and nothing else. There was no spice to it at all. It was also overcooked. The noodles came with a gravy that had a weird aftertaste.
Third visit
I arrived around 40 minutes before closing but was told I could not dine in. I had to get take-out. I left and have not been back since. I will not be going back.

We arrived at a large parking lot with the sun blasting from the sky. The only noise was the slow humming of cars passing by behind us. No person was to be seen, in what was a peak American moment. With the American flag waving across from us, we entered the establishment and were greeted by cold and agreeable AC chilled air. With a friendly nod we were shown to a table. It was 1.30pm on a Sunday, and there were 4 tables occupied. By the door, there was an elderly lady eating with what might be a grand child. In the center of the room, a large group congregated around a big round table (typically Chinese restaurant like, if I may add), with a rotating center. This center is meant for aharing food, but this group was each having their own meal, no center food to be seen. And finally, a group of 4 having a quite discussion
We ordered the Tofu dishes, the waiter was brisk but efficient. As a side we got the fried rice, with vegetables, highly recommended. Our waters were brought out by a Chinese boy, the waters with plenty of ice, and fresh taste.
While waiting for the food we got to appreciate theinterior design, clearly Yosamite themed with many studfed animals, and pictures of scenery. Overall a cozy and calm vibe, where we felt at ease
The food was splendid, well seasoned, and plenty. So much in fact we were able to take almost a full additional meal home with us.
We recommend this place warmly, specially for vegans.

Authentic
Vegan available with mindful servers!
Had the family tofu but preferred the braised tofu and veggi fried rice from my partner. (Same dish different sauce)
Would come again. Cute interior as well with beautiful vases.
Gratuity already included in the bill
For three large meals with water and a small portion of rice we paid 54$ with tax.
