This place is fantastic. The food was fresh and cooked well. They appeared to be short staffed and getting a large amount of call in orders to go, however we’re still able to seat and serve me in a reasonable amount of time. The staff maintained a great personality and provided a high level of service despite the workload. I overheard one waiter tell another patron they are hiring if you or anyone you know who may be well suited to be a great addition to this wonderful staff. I got the almond chicken and was not disappointed. Even the almonds were very fresh. The quality of food is not common among Chinese restaurants, which I’m sure is why they have an overwhelming amount of orders. They are open on Monday’s which I also find to be a rarity these days in this area. If you haven’t been then you must know it may be a little wait, but great things are worth waiting for.

Best chinese food I've had in this area in quite a while. We had potstickers as an appetizer, they were done perfectly, and fresh tasting, then we had the sauteed spicy green beans and the mongolian beef as our main course, with a large white rice. everything was great, distinctive flavors, not too greasy, not too salty, just the right amount of heat. We'll definitely be going back!

I will never eat here again. They neglected to give me one item on my take out order. When I went back in to get the missing item, they refused to replace it, even though they had called me and told me they would fix their mistake. Very disappointing.

Awesome food and great staff. I eat here every time i can!

Ordered takeout and overall quality of food was poor.Chicken and Pork Chow Mein noodles were the size of large spagetti, very little chicken, pork and was luke warm.Sweet and Sour Chicken, no flavor.Pot Stickers very little filling.Spring rolls very little filling.

This was the worst Chinese food I ever had! My 2 friends also were very unhappy with it. We had Kung Pao Chicken, Almond Chicken, Wonton and Hot and Sour soups. It was terrible, and we felt sick after eating it. If we ate it there I would have sent it back.

eaten here frequently over the years ... have to say last night's togo order was among the best i've had recently in santa cruz. support your locally owned restaurants.

Food is excellent. The staff is very sweet.

My chinese food place in Santa Cruz.very consistent.
