It was my first time at this restaurant and I cannot wait to come back! The person who waited on us (I think their name was Isla) was super attentive and had a wonderful energy. Definitely made our visit memorable and enjoyable. Then the food. THE FOOD. I got the Chow Mein and Pork Fried Rice and I'm here to tell you: it was the best fried rice I've ever had. Period. It was so bomb. So yeah, overall an awesome experience and delicious food. See y'all again soon!

Hadn’t been here in years but under new ownership.Had the special chow fun and General Tso chicken; both were wonderful. It’s been a week and I’m back. This is the best Chinese restaurant we’ve found in Santa Cruz County.Today we had walnut prawns and Mongolian beef. The waitress remembered me from last week and had the chef make the prawns spicy for me.
