Love this restaurant!! Definitely gonna be our go to for Chinese food! To begin we were greeted with a smile and immediately seated! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! This place has a great vibe! Apparently It has been here for many years and the locals love it! The family combos are reasonably priced for the quantity you get! The portions are huge! 6 of us ate until satisfied and still had leftovers,! The great flavors, fresh veggies, and entrees are incredible! Sally was our waitress and went above and beyond in great service!! We truly had an amazing dinner!! We will be back soon!
The bbq pork, sizzling Szechuan chicken, were some of my favs! Plenty of parking out front.

Hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. The moment you arrive you nicely greeted with a nice welcome.
If you are a meat lover or seafood lover you are in the right place. The portions are very good size.
The Walnut Shrimp is tasted so good, it is the best in the San Diego! And the Fry rice , Chicken Wings Is every good too.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in San Diego hands down the best authentic Chinese food.

I have been a customer for at least 7 years, and I can say the customer service as well as the food quality have dropped throughout the years. There is one old lady with glasses that has a nasty attitude, which ruins your whole dine in experience. You better know what you want because she does not like answering questions. And the whole time you are eating, you feel tense and rushed due to her constantly glancing and staring at you. You better be ready to pay a tip if there are more than 2 in your party because they charge you for a tip regardless of your dining experience. The only saving grace to this restaurant is the male waiter, who always has a kind and welcoming personality. I always try to have him as my waiter, always attentive and approachable.

Best Chinese food in all of San Diego. I’ve been going there since 2012, and no other place comes even close. They now have a slightly closer location in Chula Vista, which tastes just as good. Don’t waste your time searching—this is the one. Order a lunch special, not à la carte.

The place was very clean and that was nice, but our server seemed to just be in a very angry mood. I told her I needed a table for 4 and was told to sit anywhere so I did- but apparently, I sat at the wrong table? She had us move and was fine but she didn't even bring us menus for over 10 mins and when she did she just dropped them and walked away and didn't return to take out drink or food order until we flagged her down- and that was the only time she checked on our table.

The quality of the food was an issue all on its own. We ordered beef and broccoli (the "beef" was rancid and just felt like pieces of tendon, not meat. The baby corn and broccoli both tasted like dirty dosh water so that entire plate was entirely inedible and a waste of money. We also ordered orange chicken- which initially tastes good until you realize it's not real chicken and the inside more resembles tofu. We have up on trying to eat a few bites in and pushed our food to the side and waited about 15 minutes for our check even making wye contact with our server and eventually decided that maybe we have to go to the counter to pay so we got up and she rushed towards us telling us to sit back down, handing us the check. By that point, I was nauseous and annoyed so I left my husband to pay. I really wish we would have sponen to a manager because we didn't eat any of the meal. It really was the most disgusting food we have paid for.

The food wasan’t very good and neither was the service. Took them roughly 10 mins to serve us. The chinnese server seemed to be in a hurry ,annoyed and seemed to be in a rush instead of being attentive to us when ordering. When we wanted more of something wouldn’t say anything and took a while to give it to us. This restaurant also is in chula vista. I gave it a chance because the food over there is much more better than in San Ysidro. My bf started to tell him while he payed that we thought it was goona just as good just like the one in CV. The server said his opinion about it rather defensive lol they can’t take criticism that the food was straight up trash but only this place. No tip walked out. Also I saw a picture here that someone got some plates with roaches and insects and omg… please don’t come here… Their is so MANY other different ones.. don’t make the same mistake I did.
