Limited parking when they're busy. You can park across the street at a pretty empty office plaza. The interior is perfect for someone that wants to eat alone or have an extremely casual meal with your s/o. This is not a place where you expect good service and good vibes so I would avoid bringing family or friends here. They were busy with take out orders during lunch and around 12:30PM there were 2 tables dining in. The lady there who was not the owner was very kind and busy making sure everyone was getting their orders. Their fried rice was just okay. Not bad but not good. On this day the food was pretty bland but I guess it's better than being too salty.

It's a very plain classic Chinese restaurant ambiance but it's far from average. Shockingly good fried rice (we got pork fried rice). Skip the chow mein, I've tried it twice and both times it was bland and a little overcooked. They are experts at cooking broccoli; we've tried both the beef as well as the chicken and broccoli. Their spring rolls are also bomb, made perfectly, nice and crispy and you can tell they aren't using rancid oil like some places. For the fried rice alone I will not go to any other place in the Scott's Valley/Felton area. Nice owners too! Def try this place.Parking: Easy access

We stopped in last night for dinner and were really excited to try this tasty Chinese food. The service is really fantastic (very friendly and welcoming). We ordered the egg flower soup (yum), clay pot special, and kung pao shrimp. Everything was prepared well and we enjoyed our dinner! We will happily dine here again soon!

Service was fast and friendly! Food was not good. The chicken and pork was not prepared right, lots of unchewable and tough pieces, gristle and skin. Dumplings were bland and watery. It all tasted like poor quality. We got take out so I can't speak to the ambiance. I came here years ago (like 10yrs) and I remember it being good and loved by locals. So disappointed to waste food but we couldn't finish it, it was that bad.

The food was ok and the lunch special was well priced. On the down side it was a little run down looking but it's there if you need some Chinese food and it's still better than Panda Express.

My Family & I were visiting Santa Cruz & we ran into this Chinese Restaurant, we decided to stop in & check it out, There was trash everywhere outside, dead grass & Big bins of trash right next to parking area, very bad odors from all the trash.We gave them the benefit of the doubt, went inside & there was 10 of us & the waiter seemed annoyed by our Big Group.The Waiter never smiled & we just asked for water & we discussed if we should stay & try it out or go somewhere else, we got our waters & most of them had something floating in them, We all got disgusted & we got up & left, Waiters Remark was " Are you all Serious" with a very unfriendly look on His face .Definitely Don't Recommend
