There's a young lady that has worked there since she was 15. Her name is Judy. And with perfection she addresses each customer. Her pleasantly is in matched. The food presentation is unique. The flavors explode in your mouth. Getting back to Judy she is the type of woman you'd like to wrap up and take home. Very beautiful. That and the food will keep you coming back for more.

We were greeted when we came in around 2 PM one weekday afternoon. It was well past the business hour so the place was quiet. We both had Szechuan Green Bean Chicken that was on the day's special posted on the blackboard by the front counter.The lunch arrived in a very timely manner, not more than 10 minutes. We were served egg drop soup right away. Then the lunch plates were served not long after, freshly cooked and steaming. The sauce was light and fresh and the chicken was nice and garlicky. We also ordered tea and were surprised to find it not arriving in a metal teapot but in two large white porcelain coffee mugs. Actually that was a great idea, there was plenty of tea, it tasted like jasmine, and it was very good. In some Chinese restaurants the metal teapots are old and beat up from so much use and they can dribble or leak, so after we got over the surprise of the mugs, we really appreciated them. The restaurant was clean and the service timely. The only thing I would add is that if you are going north on Fremont to get to the restaurant there is that huge pedestrian/bicycle divide in the middle of Fremont street, so you have to drive beyond the restaurant and then make a U turn. We chose to take the Del Monte/Canyon Del Rey exit off Hwy 1 north, and follow Canyon Del Rey to Fremont, turn right and the restaurant was only one block away on the right. That was easy. This is a nice neighborhood restaurant and there was plenty of parking. Definitely recommended.

Made our way here while trying to find a place that was open between lunch and dinner service. The service was actually very attentive and nice even though our waiter sounded a little gruff at first. The sheer number of options on the menu was very impressive. We got a few different things to try and every was cooked well and properly seasoned. The crispy rice soup really hit the spot today with the gloomy weather. There was also a lot of vegetarian options for those looking for that. The slightly higher cost is justified by the big portions. We would not hesitate to stop by again!Vegetarian options: Large vegetarian menu with veggies and tofu

the male waitress' attitude is horrible. I asked do they have rice noodle, he just rolled his eyes. The food is terrible as well.

Best Chinese food restaurant on the Monterey Peninsula. Forget sushi—Instead, enjoy the 40-year talent of the chef de cuisine here! You won’t be disappointed.

1st of all let me say the food is extremely good. I ordered 5 items off the menu based on the screenshots of the menu on Yelp. I expected my bill to be around $50. When I went to pick it up, the bill was actually $70. I contacted the owner or whoever it was that answered the phone and I told them that it was very deceiving to go on their website and see these prices and then to be charged differently. He told me that he doesn't have a website and the information that's on the Internet is not his information and that he has tried many times to contact Yelp to change the prices and he says that he is not able to. I told him it's clearly a bait and switch, which is a shame because his food is so good, but I will not patronize a business that deceives people with their pricing. An item that shows on Yelp to be $9.95 is actually $15.95. That's a big difference. Shame on this Restaurant.
