Just moved to the area and have been on the quest to find decent affordable Asian cuisine. Tried two other places and was disappointed. Decided to give this place a shot. Saw it was attached to a convenience store and knew it was going to be good (something about restaurants and convenience stores in SA). I was very pleased. Had the Tso's chicken with fried rice and hot and sour soup. All very solid. Will be back.

Staff friendly. Food was good. But the whole place really needs a good old fashion cleaning. Because of that I will not go back.

Food came out super quick and was pretty darn tasty. Dont let the outside fool you, this place is a solid stop for Asian cuisine. And those egg rolls are amazing!

Me and my boyfriend absolutely love pain Asian cafe great portions, great food and the egg rolls are the best ever! Also the owner is very nice always friendly and even remembers my name when I come in I love it! Only thing is I wish the rice was more fried not steamed but other than that if you're craving Chinese come here you won't be disappointed.

Good food for a good price. Don't look in the kitchen because you probably won't eat there. Very dirty. Sad because the food was good. Not a very clean restaurant.

Undercooked hard fried rice with no flavor. The triple delight entree little flavor too. Wouldn't necessarily recommend. And my gf denies it

Fresh ingredients, good portions, no instant rice, and freshly prepared. Super kind people work there. It is a mom and pop kind of place. Don’t let the small size fool you— their quality of food is head and shoulders above Other larger restaurants.

First time here. Reviews were all 5 stars but those people must not have an Asian pallet. Fried rice was bland. Kung pao tasted like it had ketchup or tomato in the sauce and instead of red and green peppers it had zucchini. Egg rolls tasted frozen pre-made. And they don't have any house plum or hot oil. Yuck and it was over $40

Read all the great reviews on this place so I decided to try it and ordered takeout. I called and ordered the Triple Delight with fried rice and the egg roll it comes with. The food is packaged in a small plastic container and the rice was put in a separate box container. For a little over $14.00 including taxes I thought it was overpriced for the amount of food you are given. The taste was ok but nothing to get me back in to this place. The fried rice had an awkward smell and taste which I threw away after the first taste. The veggies with the triple delight were fresh only 3 pieces of shrimp, 3 strands of beef and chicken was ok. The gravy/juice was good. Egg Roll a little smaller then most Chinese restaurants that I've been to. I will always support any business that's worth the money but in my opinion I would not go back.

When the cook told me he made the hot oil suade very spicy I didn't believe him. When I arrived back at home it was very spicy and had very good flavor. This place is very good and reasonable prices

Ricky & Martin cook everything fresh! Not a chain-restaurant...family-owned in our community is what I prefer to support! Thank you for welcoming me & your kindness

Fresh food. Sauces are nicely balanced ( too many places are too salty), steamed rice is awesome (don't use Insta rice). For the triple delight, beef was really good as far as quality/freshness & used white meat for the chicken (yay!), shrimp had fresh taste and right tenderness. Ordered other plates for the weekend. Am sure all will be great!!

This is such a fantastic place. Don't let the humble location fool you. This is a gem! We take out here often and have eaten in dining area. I will be truly honest, I have only ordered 2 things and that is because I can't get enough. When I go there again I say I will try something else but I end up getting the same because it's absolutely unique and delicious! I order the Hong Kong soup and the curry noodle soup. My husband as ordered the Triple Delight and lettuce wraps and he loves it and he's picky. This is a must try!

If I can give this place six stars I definitely would. I have eaten almost everything on this menu the Mongolian beef is by far the best dinner plate . the Hong Kong soup is out of this world , the pad Thai is the most flavorful dish I've ever tasted all the pad Thai I have had . Egg rolls and the best fried dumplings ever. It might be located beside a gas station but it's the best hole in the wall restaurant I ever eaten at.
