Tasty flavors, quick and friendly service! There is a decent selection of Vegetarian options. Overall great experience the only downside was parking is quite limited so be ready to walk a bit if it's busy. Ended up trying the Kung Pao Tofu which was saucy and savory, Bangkok Basil Tofu that was crisp to perfection, and the Garlic Noodles that were tossed in garlic and butter for a rich flavor. We absolutely will be stopping by again in the future.
We Doordashed to our hotel room. The food was fantastic. Honestly the best fried rice I've ever had and I'm not even a fried rice guy. The chow fun was my favorite. The chicken in the chow fun was delicious as well. Definitely going to be the go to when I come to Pacifica.
The best fried rice place I’ve tried so far! You have to try their Beef Truffle Rice and Honey Prawns—so flavorful and fresh when served! Plus, the staff is incredibly nice and accommodating. 😍 I will definitely eat there again! 🥹🥰
A little hole in the wall, most of the workers/chef seem to be young! But don’t let that deter you, the food here is LEGIT. Also, the portions are HUGE for the price, you need to try this at least once and see for yourself!!
Great Chinese food! I love getting food here. My usuals are the combo fried rice, sweet and sour pork and the walnut prawns. Tried the Singapore noodles for the first time and it was delicious.
It's our first time eating here even though we've known about this restaurant for a while. Parking is a little challenging, especially during busy hours, but if you're willing to walk a little, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to park down the road. The 2 gentlemen that were working tonight were very friendly. The place was also clean. We ordered the large hot and sour soup, crab rangoon, crispy fried calamari, shrimp fried rice, orange chicken, deluxe mixed vegetables, and oriental chicken salad. Everything totaled to $106, including tax. We absolutely loved the hot and sour soup and the calamari. We will definitely come back here. I also can't wait to tell people I know to try this restaurant.
The food here is so good. Fresh and amazing quality. Angelo gave amazing customer service over the phone. Will continue to order from here for myself and friends in the future.
The service was great and the food was even better. Me and the wife were out of town and she wanted honey walnut prawns and a hot pot of tea, so we came here and we will be back on our next trip to pacifica! They gave my wife plenty of fortune cookies for her tea and even gave us a small amount of tea no charge so we could make some back at the room. weather local or just visiting you wont be disappointed!
The chicken wings are an absolute must order item perfectly crispy batter on the outside and incredibly juicy inside. The truffle fried rice, one of their signature dishes, smells amazing and tastes truly authentic. You can really tell the ingredients are fresh and well balanced. It’s a small, cozy spot that definitely makes you want to come back. Also a great option for party orders.
I moved in the area and was looking for a good local Chinese restaurant close by for take out and gave them a try. Food was all very delicious and hot by the time we made it home. The salt and pepper pork chops were my favorite. Also the sweet and sour pork, beef chow fun, string beans and hot and sour soup was very tasty! I’ll definitely come back and found my new go to local spot
