Super surprised about this place as we thought there would not be tasty at Santa Cruz if you look for Chinese food! However, we ordered curry chicken, sweet short rib, these two are very nice made and I am not saying every authentic even I am Chinese but I like the taste!!

The girl at cashiers are very understands their food well and show their very nice service! Recommend this place as you won’t disappoint!

Don't let it's looks deceive you. Came with a friend on a slow Tuesday evening, the only customers in the building. We were greeted by an old male employee, who we presumed to be a manager. He immediately established a welcoming, familiar, clean, and family business atmosphere.

He served us water and took our order speedily. Our food came out quickly, with big portions for a shockingly affordable price (hard to find in Santa Cruz!) Food was yummy, and clearly made with love and attention. I left with so many leftovers, which I just finished tonight, and whom I shared with another friend. He also gave me and my friend slices of oranges, typical of the loving Asian parent. We felt like family, taken care of by this business.

Want to help a smaller, family run business in Santa Cruz, while not breaking the bank, and satisfying your tummy? This is the place to go!

Don’t let the low prices fool you—the food is fresh and delicious! I’ve been eating here since it opened several years ago and never been disappointed.

I have had the lunch special here for years. Mongolian beef always good. Soup and won ton chips with sweet and sour sauce also good.

This is the best chinese restaurant I’ve been to in my entire life. The chicken is the crispiest most delicious morsel and the plates are very well portioned. It is most definitely worth the visit.

Got the general Tso's lunch special, the chicken was nice and crispy, and the sauce was delicious too. I got it without the soup of the day, wish they would have substituted it somehow (I just don't like soups).
