A Santa Barbara staple! We’ve been going to China Pavillion since the 90s, and it’s always satisfying. We no longer live in SB, but my family demands I stop at China Pavillion before I leave. I am currently on the train with a cooler full of food, and my dad called to make sure I was bringing it. I also do want to shoutout Jennifer who is always so helpful, going above and beyond hosting us (and for the delicious peanuts as we waited).

One of the hallmarks of authenticity of a Chinese resto, apart from the food and decor, are the small things you'd find on the dining table, the free appetizer, and the way they prep their utensils. This Chinese resto gets some of these right with a helping of roasted nuts and proper condiments on the sides.

We started with fried wontons and vegetable pot stickers—both were crisp and flavorful. For the main dishes, we ordered chicken fried rice, chow mein noodles, Kung Pao chicken, and Mongolian beef—every dish was fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious.
Highly recommend for anyone craving classic, flavorful...
