This is our go to spot for lunch. Food is always delicious and the service is excellent. The egg flower soup is the best.

I can't being to express how delicious this place is. Every dish I've ordered has blown me away. It is easily the best Chinese restaurant in Salinas! Fried rice- superb, Orange Chicken- incredible! When in doubt order the combination plate, you won't regret it! 100/10 stars!

Can’t complain about the service.
However, as an experienced chef over 25 years, I maintain that you can tell the quality of a Chinese restaurant by the quality of their “Mushu”.
This is perhaps the worst “Mushu” I have ever had. No cabbage, only “sprouts“ and protein and a lot of cornstarch. Really pretty awful. I do know that they are considered one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area, but I just don’t see it.

It was and is the best Chinese food in monterey county. Friendly staff, family oriented, service with a smile. The food made me keep every selection separate so we could enjoy each dish.

We had a family dinner here on Sunday, the service was great, the food was delicious, the portions were generous and the prices were far below what you would expect. If you're a fan of traditional Chinese food I highly recommend you visit this restaurant at least once! Don't let this hidden gem slip by your notice!

Everything about this restaurant is very good! Probably one of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to. The Shrimp Fried Rice had a reasonable amount of shrimp, the Sweet and Sour Chicken had a crispy taste, and the Abalone with Black Mushrooms had a savory flavor. Everything was made to perfection for me and there are no complaints I can make. I would recommend this place to other people interested in trying this type of food. It was very delicious for me.

Parking: Parking can be found in the back or near the side of the building. Would recommend parking near the side for easier arrival.

Went here last weekend. We got the dinner #3 for 2. The food was so good. We were shocked about the amount of food we received. We took it to go and got 6 meals out of it (3 per person). With how good the food was and the amount of food we received, I definitely recommend this place!

For $35 we got sweet and sour pork, cashew chicken, pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, 2 servings of wonton soup, plus 2 egg rolls and 2 fried prawns. HUGE portions. An unbelievable amount of food for the price, and it was all delicious. (With 2 sodas and tax it came to $46, still a steal).
This was the "family dinner #3" for 2 people. If you want to order specific entrees instead, it is a lot more money, they seemed to average close to $15 each. Still would be worth it, but the family dinners are insanely affordable. You can see everything in the photo except the appetizers.
Service was very good, with two strange exceptions. We had to ask for plates once the food started coming out, and I heard the table behind us do the same. Also, at the end we were brought the check, but then he never came back for my card as you would expect. Still, service was very good over all. Polite and attentive. Definitely going back!

For being my fist time here, I was disappointed because I ordered a Wonton Soup and a large Egg flower soup, And a Lunch special. Thinking it was like other Chinese places, and for the Menu price that was stated. At around13 dollars EACH When It came time to pay, My bill was $74.00 ?. She said it was because the Large is Double the price!!! But nowhere in the Menu it stated that I was going to be paying double, nor she took the time to explain it to me, even though, I stated to her, that it was my first time dining there. She never mention THAT A LARGE meant I was going to be paying DOUBLE for a large. My experience was really BAD, the food was OK, but not that tasty. I don't recoment this place to anyone. The menu price, is not what your going to pay. Be prepared to be surprise ??$$$. This will be the last time I come to eat at this restaurant.
