“Authentic top-quality Chinese food at reasonable prices! Automatic discount if you order in Mandarin. Be sure not to miss the bathrooms! And, ask for chop sticks. You never know when you might need a spare pair of chopsticks. You will not regret eating Panda Express.“

“Food is pretty good. Love the classic broth and sauces. It’s like instant hotpot with foods you picked by your own. This is authentic Chinese food. The waitress Vee is very hospital. She gave me a pair of chopstick as gift and some spring rolls.“

“This restaurant is a National City favorite and mainstay of available Asian-themed eateries. In an area with similar and competing food offerings, coming here for take out or dine in is worth the time. The menu offers items for lunch, dinner, and party trays. Of note, the crispy chicken wings are a very popular item.“

“This restaurant is always clean and serves fresh food, but leaving a 5 star review because of the friendliness of their employee, Carla. She took care to bag my chocolate cookies separately so the heat of the food didn’t melt them, and ran out to the parking lot to catch me when I forgot one of my bags. Best customer service ever!“

“Great overall experience. I also ordered the pork belly bao buns. If you don't mind a little fat, they were fantastic. The Asian ribs were great. Kung pao chicken not to spicy hot and of course had to start with lettuce wraps!😋“

“The salads are great, salmon is yummy❣🚀👍👍“

“The Chinese food was good!“

“I want to start off by saying that the service alone should be the reason why you come here. I am always greeted with so much joy and happiness. The owners and their daughter are running this place beautifully.

Now the food!! I have tried the chicken wings, chicken and broccoli, beef lo mein, veggie fried rice and plenty more… every single time they execute each meal wonderfully, so much that I don’t even consider any other restaurant in the area. I highly recommend this place, When you are looking for some comfort food and great hospitality This is the place to go“

“This was my first time visiting with my best friend. Since we were both craving dumplings, we decided to give this place a try.

When we arrived, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit at any available table. Ordering was simple through a QR code at the table.
We ordered the Orange Flavored Chicken, Cucumber Salad, Xiao Long Bao (8), and Crab Meat & Pork Xiao Long Bao (8). I also ordered the Mongolian Beef to go.

The Orange Flavored Chicken was crispy and flavorful without being overly sweet, making it a great way to start the meal. The Cucumber Salad was light, refreshing, and finished with a pleasant aromatic flavor. For the main dishes, the Xiao Long Bao had a rich, savory broth that paired perfectly with vinegar. The Crab Meat & Pork Xiao Long Bao was especially satisfying and filling but a little dry. The Mongolian Beef is spicy and savory. It goes well with rice.

Although the restaurant is small, it feels comfortable and welcoming. During our visit, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, which made for an enjoyable dining experience. Overall, we had a great first visit and would happily return.“

“Love your food but today Sunday April 14, 2024 I ordered by the online menu and my surprised was when I picked up my order the prices increased. UPDATE YOUR SITE PLEASE THAT IS CALLED FAKE ADVERTISEMENT. 😉“

“Golden Mandarin in Chula Vista is open on the start of this ratings it says it's closed. But it's open i know cuz I'm here right now! Lol! Golden Mandarin is the BEST!! GREAT FOOD I LOVE THE HOUSE NOODLES AND THE LUMPIAS.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Tried Aztec Smash Burger for the first time and was genuinely impressed.

The burgers were excellent~crispy smash patties, fresh buns, and great flavor. I added lettuce, tomato, and pickles to the Jalapeño Smash Burger and it was delicious. Burger was Slightly too salty, but still fantastic.

The coolest part was experiencing a ghost kitchen / virtual food hall for the first time. You order, get a text when your food is ready, enter your code at the lockers, and your food pops right out. Super easy & efficiency.

For the quality and amount of food we received, the value is great. In a world where burgers keep getting more expensive, this concept just makes sense: great food, lower overhead, and better prices for customers.“

“the waitress was very nice and the food was good 👍 😋 👌“

“I moved away from San Diego in 2017 and their salt and pepper tofu is the one meal I miss the most 😂 Sooo good“

The service is quick, efficient, and very polite. The restaurant itself is clean, organized, and comfortable. Whether dining alone or with family, it’s always a satisfying experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food and reliable service.“

“Tried this for the first time a few months ago. Went back again tonight because we enjoyed it so much. The house fried rice that has chicken, beef, and shrimp is amazing!!! Enjoyed it so much we decided to come monthly now. Great value and we get the 20% off coupon which make it a very good value. Good portions sized too.“

“Hole in the wall restaurant. Little hesitant to try to at first but it had good reviews, and I’m so glad I did. Best Chinese food I’ve ever had. Got the orange chicken in the lunch special and it was a perfect crunchy outside with chewy inside. Nice and hot temperature. 11/10. Had to write a review so more people know about this place.“

“I have eaten Vietnamese cuisine throughout California, and Grandpa Tao ranks among the best. In addition to the amazing tastes, the casual restaurant is friendly and comfortable. Ingredients are fresh, the environment clean and relaxing. I particularly recommend the Pho, the Rice Vermicelli (try it!) and the Shaking beef. You'll like it.“

“Nostalgia, hits in the childhood
The food, ambience and price is perfect. This place actually cares about taste, texture and heigeine.the food sits right with me and doesnt hurt my stomach like other small chinese food places. As long as they continue to operate the way they do I WILL NEVER stop giving them my business. 10/10 the independently owned corner chinese food place ive been looking for.“

“There’s something special about a restaurant that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. That's exactly what happened here. The atmosphere was welcoming, the staff was attentive, and the food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh and carefully prepared. I left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return.“

“Been coming here since I was a little kid and will forever go“

“My wife and I are picky when it comes to Chinese food. Generally we find most places too oily, but we were surprised to find this is not the case here. We ordered the House Lo-Mein Noodle and Honey Walnut Shrimp. Both dishes were excellent and honestly anong the best in the San Diego area. The taste is authentic! Don't miss out on this amazing place!“

“A must, for great Chinese food. This place gives great service and always plenty of food with your order. They go the extra mile to make you smile. Everything is so tasty. We usually order to go, orders have always been made correctly.“

“After eating here I can't help but ask, " where have you been all my life?"
The Oriental Cafe offers generous portions for generous prices and unless you've fasted the whole day you will be bringing home Leftovers.
The staff is friendly and efficient as they tend to the constant flow of customers that filled the humble establishment.
Some may take mark down this Cafe for its simplistic decor; but others, like myself, find it charming. And after trying their dishes, it only adds delight to find a nice whole in the wall that let's their dishes speak for themselves.
I recommend dining in because you will get a serving of their egg drop soup and it is absolutely worth trying. It's hearty flavor reminds you of the soup you wish you had on a cold day or when you're feeling under the weather.
This is an establishment that deserves its business and I am already planning on coming back and bringing more family to experience it themselves.“

“Unfortunately, I could barely contain myself when the food came. It was super delicious and can’t wait to go back! I didn’t get the name of our server but she was an older lady. That helped me decide on all my choices for dinner tonight. Thank you for the good experience and good food. Looking forward to coming back“

“This place has been open for decades & is one of the best! Great lunch specials & always fresh food. Their wonton soup is a hit or miss, sometimes there’s not that many wontons, more broth than anything but it’s so delicious! Definitely recommend it!“

“This place is a hidden gem right off the freeway very easily to get to service is always outstanding doesn't matter who you are staff treat you like VIP love this place food is just absolutely phenomenal great date night place to go to“

“The Best Ever Chinese Restaurant I Have Ever Been To. My Tita's Loved It So Mucho!!!! 5 star Rating“

“bueno y limpio...el mejor PHO DE LA REGION“

“The food is great and this place is an institution. I’m mainly leaving a review here because someone left a review saying they found “cartilage” in their noodle dish… those pieces in the picture are clearly squid. The person who ordered must never have seen squid before.“

“I love love love this place!!! My WIFE introduced me to them...the food is so yummy!!“

“WOW, talk about value for your money!! My to-go container was packed to the brim and HEAVY. And the food was GOOD - I got orange chicken, Kung Pao chicken, and Chow Mein noodles. I’ll definitely be back here. Pleasantly surprised.“

“First off, we LOVE the lady behind the counter. If you don't like her, you don't appreciate the hustle. And furthermore, the food is delicious.“

“For a combo meal and a soda coming out to $11 you get more than what you pay for I'd think. It's not overflowing like people are making it out to seem but for how cheap it is I'd say it's worth it. The lady at the front was nice too. I'd definitely go back again“

“We got 2 combo plates (B) and i single (A) and man they load up the food! We got chow mein and rice as sides and beef & broccoli 🥦 Coconut 🥥 Shrimp 🍤 and Orange 🍊 Chicken 🐔. Honestly, it's enough food to split. I got an extra plate, which I probably didn't need. We took a lot home. The chow main was delicious, but the rice was pretty bland. The main dishes were good too. The service was fine. The place itself isn't much for atmosphere or decoration, it's pretty plain. Also to note, a few doors down there is an over 18 only pub or bar, and lots of guys were standing outside smoking.“
