I haven't had great luck with Chinese food on the Central Coast... until now. It was pretty crowded when we got there on a Sunday night, and definitely understaffed, so our wait was longer than ideal, even though we were just picking up (they told us over the phone that they no longer deliver.) The food makes up for any... More

We decided on lunch here based on Tripadvisor reviews. We were quite happy and satisfied with the food and service. Nice and clean restaurant tucked away in a small corner. Will eat here again if in the area.

Isn't it grand when you find an ethnic food restaurant that is absolutely perfect? We enjoyed lunch here and from the moment we opened the door we knew we were going to enjoy this experience; we were not wrong. The place is decorated simply and elegantly, and it is so neat and clean you could eat off the tables. We... More

We went to the restaurant twice during our trip in March when we visited Moonstone Beach and the Hearst Castle near San Samien. This is the only Chinese restaurant nearby. Has tasty food genuine Chinese, clean environment, elegant interior set-up and decoration, and friendly service. On a quiet street in Cambria. Parking lot opposite street. Highly recommended!

It was very quiet inside, sound wise. Mostly couples eating. I went in with 2 children and my mother. The food was really good!! The hot and sour soup was very tasty, as was the orange chicken. We all enjoyed our meal!

Best chinese food, ever. Their hot and sour soup is excellent! I love the spring rolls and the mu shu vegetable the best. Their use of spices, and their sauces are delicious! Can't wait to try everything on the menu!

We live in Santa Barbara and have several Chinese restaurants, but non as good as this one. It is always our first stop when we visit Cambria. Excellent food and service.

Been to this place about 4 times--always excellent. The owner mans the desk and often is the server. A very polite and attentive fellow. The sauces are well-flavored, the veggies ultra-fresh, quantities large, prices small. The decor is very tastefully Chinese, with a wall of windows looking out to greenery on a weathered fence. Quit atmosphere, nice carpeting. Always clean,... More

We were so hungry and this place with polite, fast service and excellent food was great. We ordered more dishes then we could handle and had lunch for the next day in Big Sur. The prices were a bit high, but expected for a remote area.
