My husband and I have been going here for our take away for years. It's always been really good and the owner is a gem but tonight they outdid themselves! The Three Delight Chow Fun and Shanghai style fish filet were phenomenal!! Best Chinese food in Santa Barbara. Thank you!!
We had a great experience here. The staff was friendly and helpful. They made menu recommendations. The food was very good. My son loved the fruit infused ice tea. Our meal (street noodles, soup dumplings, tofu, fried rice and veggie egg rolls) was delicious.
Good authentic food, ma po tofu 10/10
