“Just wonderful old school Chinese American restaurant with everything from steak and eggs to Mongolian beef and fried rice. And honey prawns are absolutely excellent too. The restaurant is right out of the '70s hasn't changed much since then I'm sure. I would think that this particular restaurant was a very biggie and fancy and it's day the neon sign up front with the temperature in time doesn't work anymore but the your food is great old school The staff are wonderful hardworking people. This is one of my favorite places to eat in all of Stockton“

“I have gone through multiple restaurants, but nothing compares to chow to go. It is immaculate, it feels like a kiss on the cheek, it taste like it was blessed by God himself. Amen 🙏 - satisfied customer number 1

When I eat this food it tastes as if the chefs were actually angels sent by God himself to satisfy and serve all their costumers. I whole heartedly believe this food could bring world peace if everyone on earth took a bite from this absolutely beautiful, textures, flavorful, warm, delicate, delicious heavenly excuse for food. This food makes me want to donate to charity, this food makes me want to call my mom and tell her I love her, this food gives me a whole other perspective on life. It really makes you believe that your dreams are possible and gives you hope for the future. This food makes me thank God for the dirt that grew the rice and brócoli and the wheat that made the bread that made these noodles and finally the plastic that made the styrofoam containers that hold the food to be
then delivered to my plate and then my mouth. I hope and pray that whoever made this food have a golden throne waiting for them at the gates of heaven. Please try this restaurant - Satisfied Number two

Chow to go, where do I even start. In my darkest hour of need, you were there waiting for me. I reached my arm out in desperation and you pulled me out of the slums where I was forced to eat tv dinners and cockroaches. You gave my life meaning. When I put that very first piece of chicken in my mouth, I felt as though I reached nirvana. My face filled with joy and my eyes seen color like never before. Food, I thought I knew it all, but your food showed me to another world beyond what the mind can comprehend. If I were to die this very moment, my last words to anyone would be, “eat chow to go, and you will become the ultimate life form.” Thank you for blessing me with this exquisite delicacy. - satisfied customer number 3“

“The food is consistently delicious. Staff is welcoming. Service is excellent. Prices are reasonable. Definitely recommend.“

“Whoever the closing crew was today was amazing. I called right before them closing and they kept the place open because I was already on the way. The staff was really nice and helpful. I normally dont even write reviews but I hope they know they did a amazing job more than other places.“

“Great service ! Fresh food ! Beautiful dining room ! I didnt want to leave. Ill be back next week !“

“Favorite place to go to! Not sure if we can get a second bowl or just one bowl only. I see people order takeout and they really stuff it in they don't give you less. I ordered dine in with a family so your pretty full with one bowl and the free stuff like soup and rice they offer so. Your pretty much full. There are options of food the only thing I didn't like was they do not upkeep the mess so you are walking on food while getting your food“

“The food isn't so bad for the price. Though, it does get annoying when you're trying to do the all you can eat option. Grabbing some of the items is difficult when there's someone ordering take out plates and they're standing in the way.“

“**UPDATE 2/4/26**
Pricing: lunch buffet $10.95, dinner buffet $11.95.
-End update-

Visited at opening 11:00a.m. on a weekday, and we were the first ones in. I was surprised to see that the business name was changed to M Kitchen Buffet. I tried to ask the worker about the name change, but I wasn't able toneffectively communicate with them.

The cost for dine-in buffet is $9.95 per person. They have about 7 booth tables that can fit up to 4 people. The place is casual, and seems to cater a lot of people who work in the area, and are looking for good Chinese food at a wallet-friendly price. 1-item starts at $6.95, and a 2-item is $7.95. From what I recall, rice or noodles are considered 1 item, so be aware a protein and rice or noodles is a 2-item selection.

The food was fresh and hot at opening. I prefer the fried chicken, orange chicken, mixed vegetables, chow mein, and fried rice.

If you're in the area, give it a shot. I was expecting Sherman's Buffet, but it wasn't. My guess is that someone who worked at Sherman's Buffet wanted to own a store, bought it, and changed the name. It tastes pretty muvh the same, and the menu & concept is the same. I prefer the Sherman's off of Pershing, but this restaurant is a good place to dine in or get takeout. Ty 🤙“

“Service was excellent- Food was hot and veggies were crunchy- we did a RSVP - Short ribs 😃yum“

“I really love this place , everyone is so nice and the food is always fresh . But one thing that really struck me was that they do not have high chairs for kids at any Sherman’s , it kind of gives no kids wanted here which I’m sure isn’t the case because they are so cool but I think they most definitely should get some high chairs and make it more family friendly .“

“Food always hot and tasteful. Service is fast and attentive. Prices are great not over priced and you get lots of food.“

“If your looking for healthy hear is not it's a yummy flavor there chicken is so yummy the vegetables ? are so good the price is right this food is so yummy the area not a fan but is best during day time as they do keep open during the day not much to late but they very nice fast welcoming it's a family place the place in general is not as elegant place but is enough and safe to eat and enjoy“

“Im an oriental chef fan bec of their dimsum but this Mandarin House was a breath of fresh umami. Their prices are lower than your typical chinese food amd it got me worried as they might have a small portion or worse might not be that good. Boy i was wrong. Not only the portion is good but the taste is yummmm. Im an authentic chinese food lover not the panda express type chinese by the way. Also im half chinese(taiwan) half american and I recommend this place“

“Great restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food.“

“I just came from Panda Express. I love this place. I love the atmosphere, the food, the service, and I love the fact that they close at 10:00 everyday. I highly recommend this place for a delicious meal and a great environment. Also the price is right.“

“The food was okay! I really enjoyed the orange chicken, but the rice and chowmein wasn't what I expected. The Rangoons were pretty good, and over all the service was awesome. They were very nice and they know how to handle business. I will however give their food another shot one of these days“

“They don't answer their phone and often close well before closing time. Not reliable in that regard.“

“Their food is great. The staff is always nice and helpful. They know what they are doing. Food is hot and fresh. Try the Egg Foo Young!
The orange chicken has good flavor and you can tell the citrus. Garlic fried chicken is so filling and yummy too.“

“Awesome little place on the Miracle Mile, fast friendly service with delicious food. I had the wieners and rice with brown onion gravy, my wife had the corned beef hash. First time I’ve been here, my wife has been going since she was a kid.“

“Louie's Chinese food is the best I have eaten since I've been in Stockton for 4 years I had bad experience at other Chinese restaurant it was either dry no taste and then i found Louise and I've been eating there ever since I even took my mother and my nephew there and they've been ordering food from there ever since also the ladies been giving me good service me and my mom we order some food we ate there The gentleman kept checking on us it was nice experience matter of fact me and my mom headed there now to go eat we always order BBQ pork fried rice chow mein and egg rolls Im giving them 10 out of 10 have a blessed day“

“📍 Quick Take:
Solid local pho spot with consistent flavor every time. Not the absolute best, but very reliable and worth going to—especially for the price.

🍜 What I Ordered:
• Medium Pho

🔥 Food:
The broth is where this place stands out—it’s consistently good every visit. Clean, balanced flavor and never off. For me, it’s better than Mac Pho and pretty much on par with Saigon Bay. Meat and portions are solid—nothing over the top, but always dependable.

🥢 Texture & Execution:
Noodles cooked right, not mushy. Everything comes out hot, which is important for pho and they don’t miss on that.

💸 Value:
About $1 cheaper than most pho spots nearby. For the consistency alone, it’s already worth it.

🏪 Atmosphere:
Simple and casual. Standard pho shop setup.

🙋 Service:
No issues. Food comes out in a reasonable time.

📌 Final Verdict:
Above average pho spot that’s easy to recommend. The biggest thing here is consistency—you know what you’re getting every time. Not a destination spot, but a very solid go-to.

🔁 Would I Come Back?
Yes. Consistent flavor, fair price, and closer than other similar spots—hard to beat that combo.“

“Eat in or to-go only, there is no drive through. The food is hot and great, but each time I have gone in they have been out of something and had to wait 10-15 minutes for a new batch to be made. The staff is super friendly and the dinning area is kept clean.“

“Everything good and service is amazing!“

“For me, this is cheap already. Not the top notch quality but not bad especially if you don't have time to cook and you're sick of the american fast foods. The service was fast and attitude of staff varies on who are on duty. Overall, pretty quick food and affordable. Small space, only to-go, no dine in.“

“I have been to this location a couple times. Service is good, quick, polite. The food is good, a variety of options. I especially like the walnut shrimp, grilled teriyaki chicken and spicy sweet and sour chicken. A decent place to get something quick to eat.“

“My friend recommended this place to me a while back, and I decided to go with my wife. The food was good. We were served by a young man wearing a dark blue jacket with a gray shirt. He's got a good sense of humor and helped us out whenever we asked, even when it was busy. There are two other ladies. One doesn't speak English, which is fine. But the other lady does. The one who does understand English was really rude to my wife when my wife asked for the receipt. She yelled at her employees in front of customers and complained loudly when her employees made mistakes. Very unprofessional. The service is acceptable only due to the young man. Props to him. 2/14/26“

“I love luus tempura shrimp...and their fried wings can't find good stuff like this no more 😋“

“We stopped by briefly for some eggrolls. It was about lunchtime, and the line was long at the serving counter. They had a wide selection of different menu items, and the helpings appeared to be generous. The staff were nice enough. There was indoor seating of course; parking is no problem, since they are on the edge of large shopping area. The restroom door had a lock on it, but legit patrons can ask for the code.“

“The food tastes good (orange chicken and I think teriyaki chicken) , it's calm and quiet there. The plates, silverware, and place in general seemed pretty clean. Although there was a fly around but overall this seems like a nice place to check out.“

“I have been going & taking my family to Pho Saigon Bay Restaurant for a very long time‼️They have a very wide selection of delicious food for all ages‼️We take our children & they are fine with the selections‼️I really love their Chicken & Shrimp Fried Rice, their service is fast & friendly, & the place is always clean no matter if we Dine-In or order To-Go‼️

I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area‼️“

“I usually order from this restaurant on Door Dash and I absolutely love it. Specifically, I always get the A12. I have no complaints about the food. I also went to the location in person. Personally, I like the grab and go element of the location. In my opinion it fits perfect for the area. I personally would prefer to take my food and eat it somewhere else with friends, so the lay out works great with that. Also, when I went the cashier was so sweet.“
