Nomad Asian Bistro

Unassuming restaurant in a quiet corner of a pretty sparse mall; the kind of place that you'd walk past and not notice it. I'm sure glad to have found this place! We came here during the lunch hours and they serve lunch specials 7 days a week! While we were browsing the menu, one of the wait staff came over and checked on us if we were ready and asked if it was our first time there (yes). She recommended getting a couple of items from the lunch menu if we like to have a few dishes since the portions are pretty big and the lunch items get you the most bang out of your buck. Very sound advice! The lunch menu featured a good selection of dishes and we ended getting the honey walnut shrimp, filet mignon with black pepper sauce and kung pao three flavor (beef, chicken, shrimp). Each dish came with a soup and either white/brown rice or upgrade to egg fried rice. We got the egg drop soup as well as the hot sour soup and they were both tasty! We upgraded the egg fried rice and wow... quite impressed with the egg fried rice here. I was expecting the usual plain, white, mild egg fried rice but what came out was a brown-ish looking egg fried rice that's just so tasty! Of course the main dishes themselves were also outstanding! I really liked the juiciness and black pepper flavor of the filet mignon, the crispness of the walnut shrimp and the umami of the kung pao three flavor. I definitely would recommend each one of these dishes. We also got the fresh pressed ginger ale, which is the perfect, refreshing thirst quencher! Tasty food and great service.. what's not to like!

Bustling lively atmosphere in a spacious restaurant with space outside where a group prayed the sunset prayer with rugs available for that. Alhamdulillah, the food had a distinct, original, authentic flavor and was delicious — every bite. Wonton soup. Mixed dumplings. Honey ginger chicken. Filet mignon beef with black pepper. Didn’t order drinks or dessert. Kids received complimentary Sprites. I think if they must play something on their TV, it should be consistent with the theme / culture / cuisine of the restaurant. Didn’t like that John Hughes movies were on the screen when I looked up from my plate… Overall, highly recommended.

Save your money and don’t come here 😅. The water tastes straight up from the sink. The chili oil is bad. The iced green tea is not that great either. I ordered the salt and pepper seafood. These tasted like they did not batter them properly like still a bit floury on some pieces. Some pieces were fine and others had too much salt and pepper. Although it wasn’t that great I was working on finishing my plate until I found a hair in the sauce that comes with it 🥲. I mentioned it to the waitress but she didn’t seem to care and just brought a new sauce. I lost my appetite after that so 💁‍♀️. My husband and mother in law ordered the beef noodle soup. It was pretty much tasteless. The only good thing about the soup was that the beef was soft. Only pros: easy to find parking, can accommodate strollers if they do not have a full house. Cons: food tastes terrible, waiter can take a long time to take your order. They don’t stop often to stop by and see if there’s anything wrong. Women’s restroom does not have a diaper changing station. My stomach has already started hurting and I just left the restaurant 🙃.

The worst place to have food, the service was horrible, the food came out in stages and our kids stayed hungry for 15 min waiting for noodles after we already finished our food. No one came to check on us, they just dumped the food and left. We had party of 20 and the place was not even busy yet the the service and the food was below standard Chinese takeout. Save your time and money and order takeout from any Chinese restaurant.

I like their Mongolian beef. If you go there during lunch time from 11-4 pm(except holiday) you can get lunch menu. Main dish, come with rice and soup options.

I visited Nomad Chinese with my family during a trip to LA, looking for halal Chinese food. After a 30-40 minute wait on Christmas Day, we finally got a table. The service was slow—our waiter arrived after 10-12 minutes, and the food came in 3-4 installments after another long delay. We specifically asked if they could make a couple of dishes gluten-free. The waiter confidently said “yes, no issues.” However, when the food arrived, we discovered that not all items were gluten-free—confirmed later by the kitchen supervisor. This miscommunication was frustrating, especially since their website claims to cater to dietary needs. The food was fully halal and above average, but the poor service, lack of attention to food allergies, and inaccurate website information left us disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re desperate for halal Chinese food with no other options. It’s overhyped and not worth the wait.

It was horrible experience. I can’t eat all the foods that I ordered. I ordered Hot and sour soup, Orange chicken, Beef teriyaki, and Fried noodle, which was not tasty at all. The meat quality is not fresh and too chewy to eat. Their service is not good at all as well, and the restaurant didn’t look clean. It was greatly waste of my money and time. I would say never come here. There was no Chinese, which means a lot.

MY NEPHEW YOU AND SISTER GO AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH . SO I ALWAYS ORDER SO SHE CAN BRING WERE A LAMB DISH. I LOVE LAMB. & NOODLES. ITS SO GOOD NICE KIND SERVERS AND MANY TABLES. RESTROOMS ARE CLEAN. VERY GOOD ATMOSPHERE.

I can't believe I haven't given Nomad's a review. It is literally my go-to restaurant in Long Beach! The food is absolutely delicious and they give you HUGE portions. Some of the dishes I've tried: -honey walnut shrimp - 9/10; these are easily the best honey walnut shrimp I've ever had and they give you so many -cumin lamb - 10/10; this is such a unique flavor, and the depth of flavor is something you must experience (order rice with it) -shrimp fried rice - 10/10 literally the best shrimp fried rice you will ever have. The texture of the rice is perfect, the shrimp aren't overcooked. It's lovely -I've also had the curry fried rice and also super delicious 9/10, very unique flavor to it -chili wonton 10/10 - it's so damn good. So refreshing. You'll want to put the sauce on everything (we put the sauce on the curry fried rice and it took it up another level) -shrimp chow fun 10/10; I love it. Their noodles are perfect. -salt and pepper fish 9/10; definitely get rice with it to soak up the sauce -short ribs: 9/10; such a great marinade on those things! -honey glazed wings 8.5/10; great flavor, perfect cook on the wings -vegetarian egg rolls: 8/10 these are really good, they taste like a typical egg roll -chicken egg roll 8.5/10 these are great. They're very big. Comes with a hot mustard that I love Drinks: the tai iced tea is great but get the ginger drink for something refreshing and unique. I could drink that every day Service: they can get really busy so sometimes they are on the run, but Mary is my girl!!! She will take care of you no matter what! Everyone has always been extremely kind to me, even when they are busy. (Remember they get very busy with takeout orders too, they're not just working the tables in the restaurant). You can eat inside or outside which is lovely. And they're very fast for takeout orders, just call ahead. I love Nomads and every visitor that I have brought to eat at Nomads, always asks to go back when they visit again.

Nomad is our go to Asian restaurant in Long Beach. We've been coming here for years but finally decided to do a review. They have options to accommodate different dietary needs, such as Halal, gluten free and vegetarian. Some of our favorites are honey walnut shrimp, black bean sole filet, scallion pancakes, fried rice and spicy green beans. For drinks they have a legit Thai tea, really good fresh pressed ginger ale and Diet Coke (yay for the fountain!). The restaurant has a big dining area and can accommodate big parties (get a reservation). During the day, you can sit outside. They also make prayer rugs available.

Food Nomad short ribs - These had good flavor but the meat was chewy. 3.7/5 Sweet and sour soup - A solid soup that had a very light spice. Chicken was moderately tender. 4/5 Garlic and jalapeno chicken - Great first bite but diminishing returns due to a one note flavor - spicy garlic. 3.8/5 Honey Walnut shrimp - The best I've had. The most tender and perfectly seasoned shrimp with a light glaze and excellent honey walnuts. 4.8/5 Service Our waiter was great, an asian person with short hair. 4.5/5 Atmosphere Not my vibe, personally. Very traditional casual asian restaurant. 3/5 Tl;dr - Come here for the honey walnut shrimp, it's delicious.

In a desolate forgotten area surrounded by newness. I read something along those lines on Yelp which guided me here. Had been meaning to go here after a friend told me they had gluten free Chinese marked on their menu. I went with my teenager and his friends. We each ordered a lunch special which came with a choice of soup. We all got egg drop, which had little veggies in it. I think that's a first. It was very good. And then we shared family style. For me this was a blessed experience because we could share and I never eat Chinese food because it's not worth being poisoned. The staff was both friendly and attentive. They had a robot that carried the dishes out- to mostly our table. Seemed to be programmed to our section which was cute. Oh, there's more food for us! J/k We had leftovers and we loved it all.

It's easy to see why this spot has over a thousand reviews and maintains a solid four-star rating--the food is genuinely high quality; I gave it five stars! While the shopping complex it's located in has clearly seen better days and could use a serious facelift, don't let that deter you. The exterior may not be well-maintained, but this is a must try spot. First off, there's plenty of parking, largely due to several nearby stores being closed. Once inside, the vibe was lively. A decent crowd was enjoying their meals, and a couple of TVs were playing Disney movies on Freeform, adding a relaxed, nostalgic touch. Despite it being a busy afternoon, the staff did their best to stay attentive. One small note: the water wasn't ice cold, but still refreshingly cooler than room temperature. Their lunch specials, priced around $15-$18, are a solid deal and is available everyday. Each comes with their daily soup--today's was Hot and Sour, which was more flavorful than most of its type--and a choice of white or brown rice. I recommend upgrading to the Egg Fried Rice for an extra $2; it's absolutely worth it. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Shrimp and the Short Ribs, the latter being the must-try based on rave Yelp photos. The short ribs were bold and peppery, prepared in a slightly unconventional style, but I really enjoyed them. Surprisingly though, the Sweet and Sour Shrimp stole the show for me. Lightly crispy and coated in a perfectly balanced sauce, pairing beautifully with my Egg Fried Rice. With so many tempting dishes still to try, I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

Another great visit to Nomad! Service is always great! Food comes out quickly and freshly prepared. We always over order but makes for gre at leftovers, reheats very well. We ordered a large Wontom Soup, just WOW ginormous. Lots of fresh veggies and wontons! Mongolian Beef is our must main dish to order, has a nice kick and the beef is very tender. We tried a new chicken dish, honey ginger fried chicken, very good. House Fried chicken is another favorite and is the best fried rice I have had! Parking is always easy! Our favorite Chinese Restaurant in Long Beach!

Food and service are great, take-out or dine-in. Lunch specials are offered 11am-4pm with generous portions and reasonably priced (most around $15). We had a late lunch today with enough leftovers for another meal or two! We love their Hot & Sour Soup. The Mongolian Beef is tender, flavorful and just the right amount of heat.

Excellent Halal Chinese food! We come here for group dinners, family style eating. We get stuffed every time because the portions are so large. Great for groups because the dining room is so large and the tables can be reconfigured in any which way. I have never had to wait to be seated because the dining room is so large with so many tables. Highly recommend the handmade noodle options. I have been here over 15 times, and I have hardly ever ordered the same thing twice, and considering that we have still never had a bad dish. Everything on the menu is great. Favorite dishes would include the sesame flatbread, Szechuan Beef Stew Noodle Soup, Honey Walnut Shrimp, and the Basil Eggplant.

We went for dinner. Food was awesome! We had won ton soup with shrimp, orange chicken and shrimp with lobster sauce. Big portions so we had lots left over to take home. Service was outstanding. Food arrived pretty quickly. I have to say we really enjoyed everything but the standout was the soup. So flavor-full. Looking forward to our next visit. Normally we get takeout but it was nice to eat-in.

Good customer service. Just okay Chinese food. I have had better. Too much breading in chicken. Ginger lemonade was good though. Trust.

Upon arrival for 2 hour drive we were told that the entire restaurant was booked and we were seated outside in patio. We ordered the food which took longer than expected the food was cold and nasty. The employees were taken breaks outside near where we were serving. Every employee was smoking and the smell of smoke was nasty which force us to leave. We saw Rats and cockroaches that shows this place is not safer to eat. I have called the long beach health department. But for now I am done with this place.

"MANAGER" WEI is horrible un-empathetic and unprofessional During our meal we had no utensils/ plates and had to get up 4-6 times to order drinks, ask for to go containers, place orders for food, and even ask for the check When brought to his attention HE TOOK NO ACCOUNTABILITY AND DIDNT EVEN APOLOGIZE -- stating he should just stop letting customers inside When asked what he will do to resolve this issue since we spent $200 he said "there's nothing I can do just don't leave us a tip". This horrendous service represents Nomad's as a whole lately-- I'm sure the regulars have noticed Nomads is an establishment that is taking complete advantage of the Muslim and Desi community by offering disrespectful service and sky high prices for sub par food -- OVERLY salty food, watered down soups, and RAW meat dishes SHAMEFUL and I'd love an explanation from the owner themselves (Fu Qian Chen Lu-- name on their California Statement of Info for their corporation) -- do you even care or have any pride in your business and what it means to have a successful business?

The restaurant is basic when it comes to ambiance. After that we get to the menu and service. The menu is expansive, offering many wonderful options. The staff is attentive, making sure your meal is to your liking. Pricing is very nice. This restaurant is a nice place, with good food and very good service.

We happened to be in the area and decided to stop by somewhere nearby (as in, the same plaza) for lunch. Was very skeptical as I usually check Yelp & Google before I dine out anywhere, and the lack of recent reviews initially deterred me, but we committed and had no regrets! Everything was solid. The servers were so, so nice and food was served quickly. We got 2 lunch specials and the portion sizes were very generous. I got the orange chicken lunch special w/ steamed rice and hot & sour soup. I loved all of it! The chicken is crunchy which I prefer over places that serve it softer. The chilis are chopped up and spicy, and only if you bite into them. You won't taste it unless you purposely pick up a huge piece and chew on it. It looked just like in the Yelp/Google pictures. Bf got the Nomad short ribs lunch special and said he really enjoyed them. He dislikes soup, but loved his egg flower soup (I tried it and totally agree). He said it's personally the best he's had out of places we've been (Yang Chow, KPB, Brea/Rowland areas). Posted a pic of the short rib bc it's not mentioned in any recent reviews :) Also if you're ordering takeout, do consider experiences can vastly vary (even the best place's xiao long bao, or even orange chicken, cannot keep to its standard when placed in a takeout container depending on how hot it is at the time it's put in).

We went here for an early dinner. We were seated promptly, and the service was fast. Everyone is very friendly. There are plenty of options on the menu for everyone. The food is delicious every time we come here. I would say the highlight of our meal this time were the beef rolls and spicy curry fried rice. I would highly recommend coming here. You can't go wrong with anything you choose off the menu.

This place is a hidden gem. Most importantly for me, this is a casual restaurant with an extensive American Chinese menu, the vast majority of which is gluten-free. The staff is trained in food allergies and can give informed advice. The food is delicious and crafted with care and affection. My girlfriend is vegetarian and has an extensive menu to choose from, all of which she's enjoyed so far. In addition, this restaurant is Halal and serves the local Muslim community, especially families. They have prayer rugs and other amenities. This means that the ambiance is especially delightful; the space is full of kids and adults socializing and enjoying the food. Indoor and outdoor seating; plenty of parking. It's a bit hard to find, so do use a map program. I'll be back.

Always great! I've been here many times over the years and the food is excellent, service is good, family style ambiance and it's a place I will always come back to. Now they have dessert! Pistachio cheesecake! It was delicious!

My favorite Chinese food restaurant, hands-down Nomads Asian Bistro is a true gem for those seeking Halal fresh meat options. Their commitment to quality shines through in every dish, with flavorful ingredients that cater to diverse palates. The service is impeccable, with attentive staff who ensure a pleasant dining experience. Convenient parking adds to the overall convenience, while the pricing is fair and reflective of the exceptional quality offered. Whether you're a Halal food enthusiast or simply craving delicious Asian cuisine, Nomads Asian Bistro is a must-try! It can get a bit crowded with a wait sometimes, but never to noisy the ambience is a vibe.

This is one of my favorite eating spots in Long beach. It's great for large parties. The service and food is good. Be sure to get their fresh ginger drink. Very refreshing and helps digestion.

Their food is amazing. Being a Celiac patient, this is one of the best Asian restaurants to eat and not get sick from gluten. Their food delicious! Great portions too!

Theeeee best tasting Chinese food in the area. Ambiance would be best described as your typical Chinese restaurant. Fast moving food runners, bustling atmosphere and great tasting fare. Huge plus? They are HALAL. Highly recommend: - honey garlic chicken - everyone's favorite... orange chicken - general tso chicken - nomad short ribs - ummmm everything? And to wash it all down.. their refreshing fresh pressed ginger ale (kind of like a ginger beer sparkling water) Great family size portions. Enough to enjoy at the restaurant and plenty more to take home for the next day. Must try. Located behind what used to be Claim Jumper in a large parking lot.

Dined in here for the first time and loved the food and the friendly service. The nice lady who took our order was extremely helpful, should've taken her advice to order Chilli chicken instead of Crispy Garlic Jalepeno chicken which was fried and quite chewey in texture, but the sauce was flavorful and delicious She did mention Chilli chicken is the same flavor and steamed with soft texture and people usually prefer that, but I had to "learn it the hard way" ( Pun definitely Intended lol) Egg fried rice was spot on with the flavor, and thai ice tea was yum, would've loved some boba in it! Big shout out to the friendly staff, keep up the cheerful service,, we will definitely return soon! Note to self: always listen to the timely advice of the waitress, she knows better!

We went for lunch . Quite a dirty mess old looking place. It was empty and the food was horrible, awful and simply nasty. First of all the soup we ordered felt as if it was sitting out on the counter for hours . It was cold not even microwaved warm . Second the sweet and sour CHICKEN smelled so BAD we almost threw up . Smelled like bad fish or rotten shrimp there were few of us we all agreed chicken was rotten. The chowmein looked as if a 2 year old put it together . The staff was rude and didn't care that we were all quite unhappy. They didn't care or even acknowledge what we told them . All they said "you want us to refund." Usually they never refund so I believe they knew it was rotten food and service . On my way out I saw, the door had a sign from the health department that they were in extreme violation of equipment sanitation meaning we are all getting sick because they are dirty restaurant !!!!

Love the food. Service depends on how busy they are...and they get busy! Food is excellent and prices are great!

Dear Nomad Asian Bistro, What a amazing place to come out in the LBC area to try. The beef rolls are amazing and I have come more than once for them. Spicy beef is yummy here, asparagus is very good here but I would have liked it more cooked. The short ribs are nicely made but they are not the star kept going for rolls. Service is okay here, I felt like the servers are not treating us with respect and would rather treat those whom come in as a "american" normal family look. So lacking in this for sure. Ambiance is off, it looks like the place is not completely finished built or something. So I am not sure how to say things here. I was fine with our table and seats just seemed like inside and outside did not have to look the same.

Tried this place multiple times and I still love it!!! It's like a higher end of Chinese restaurants! The foods were amazing! Very delicious. The service was nice too. The dishes aren't greasy and very flavorful. Wonderful wonderful wonderful! My favorites so far are the basil eggplant, chicken curry, and tofu and shiitake mushrooms. Overall, I would recommend this place!!!

This is a halal Chinese restaurant. I was told they had the best hot and sour soup. I went thinking it would be good, I didn't expect to leave believing it was the best hot and sour soup I'd ever had. Garlic chicken - they use thigh meat and the garlic sauce is subtle. Beef rolls - cucumber and beef with a tangy sauce wrapped in the sesame bread. I started out by eating it like a burrito and ended the last few bites mixing it on my plate with the other dishes. I took the leftover and had it the next day and it was still delicious. Season flat bread - if you had this with just one entree shared it would be enough. I dream about this bread. It tears like a croissant but it's chewy and the flavor makes it perfect for any dish you're eating. I mixed it with the chicken and I used it to dip in my soup as well. Hot and sour soup - I don't know if it's the halal chicken but this soup heals. They're generous with the chicken and tofu and the soup is thick without being heavy. I finished a large bowl with just one other person. I wish this restaurant was a chain and had a spot closer to me but I will drive the half hour to eat here often.

My coworker had told me about Nomad Asian Bistro, so decided to check it out. I had no idea there was a Chinese restaurant so close by! The restaurant is somewhat hidden in the back of the plaza but is fairly large. The interior is a bit worn (peeling paint on the wall, cracked tables), but service was okay. The menu is large and even has Chinese (always a good sign). There is a mix of Americanized as well as authentic dishes. The portion sizes are quite good for the price, and even the lunch special entree size was big (came with large bowl of white rice + cup of soup). The sesame bread (芝麻薄餅) was delicious, as well as the string beans, basil eggplant, and honey walnut shrimp. The two soup/noodle soup dishes were just okay for me, and the handmade noodles in particular were disappointing (expected them to be much chewier). Overall, a large menu and great value for the price. Would return for sure!

I have been to this restaurant over 10 times. I can say that this is the best Chinese food that I have ever had. I have pretty much tried everything on their menu, and all items have a lot of flavor. The staff are really nice here and are very helpful and patient with people who are there for the first time. I've never been disappointed when coming to this place. This is a great place to come with your family. The portions are family-sized, so you will have leftovers. The ambiance is not all fancy, but the facility is clean. This is a must-try. I recommend this place 100%.

I got the mushroom black pepper chicken and the flavor was good but the food was SWIMMING in oil. There was a normal amount of sauce in the container and then about 1/3 cup of oil. It was hard to tell in the black container, so I poured the sauce out into a clear container and the first half was just pure oil. It was so separated that it feels like they poured the oil on top after putting it in the to go container? The scallion pancake also was COVERED in oil. Way beyond the normal cooking oil. Again, it felt like they lathered it in oil after cooking. However, we ordered through door dash and the food was just as hot as I would expect if I was dining in. Which is why I'm willing to give 2 stars.

Very tasty, good service and enough leftovers for a yummy lunch tomorrow we ordered the spicy green beans, Kung pao chicken, a side of steamed rice, and vegetarian spring rolls. The menu was sizable with a nice variety of choices. Definitely plan to return.

Best fried rice in my area. Orange chicken and there onion bread is a must. Always great service good vibes. Culturally mixed crowd.

We parked and then looked for the entrance. There was a door held open by a woman who said we could enter there. We went into a large dining area. As we crossed, I discovered the main entrance and was approached by a man who asked if he could help. I told him we had come in a back door and it was our first time there. He showed us to a table by a window and gave us menus. I ordered walnut shrimp and a small rice. My friend ordered broccoli chicken. We waited a short time, and then our food was delivered. I could not believe the amount of food. There was enough for a family of three. The broccoli was in large pieces, and my friend asked me if I thought we could get a knife. As she said that, the waitress came to our table and asked if we would like to have a knife. We ate our meal and had enough left over to take home. The waiter came over and asked if he could pack the food for us to go. The preparation and taste of the food was excellent and the service was above and beyond. Will return and will recommend this place to my friends.

I've eaten here twice with my family and it's great. They have a large parking lot that's very easy to pull into. Restaurant has sufficient space to accommodate large parties. Staff is super sweet and very helpful. The food is really good. I love the cumin lamb, orange chicken, eggplant, hot and sour soup, and the fluffy pancake bread things. It's a far drive for us, but I'm looking forward to the next family dinner there.

The first time I came to Nomads was before pandemic, with coworkers. So I was excited to come back here today for an anniversary lunch for my coworker. We arrived around 1145am and were greeted right away and then immediately seated. The staff was attentive and we were able to order our food as soon as our doctor arrived. What I love about Nomads is the family style portion size, so everyone can share . We each ordered off the Lunch specials on the back of the menu. Prices range from $14.50-16.50 and you get the soup day, rice( brown, white, fried for an extra $2) and a nice big entree dish! We ordered the Egg drop soup, scallion pancakes, orange chicken, garlic honey chicken, honey walnut shrimp, sweet and sour chicken, Mongolian beef, beef and broccoli. Our soup arrived first, and our entrees didn't take long to come out after that... maybe 10 min or so. Everything was delicious! I also ordered the jasmine green tea (hot) which went perfectly with the food. It never got really crowded but people were consistently coming in since it was during lunch time. The restaurant is a nice size and never feels like your to close to other tables which is nice. I'm happy we were able to come back here and I'll definitely be back, bringing friends and family!

Large portions, delicious food, great prices, especially lunch menu. Service could be friendlier but still I enjoy coming here. The ginger drink is delicious!!

This was my third time going, but the orange chicken was extremely soggy and tasted completely different from what I had before. I complained, but no one even apologized--they just said the taste might vary depending on the chef. The server was friendly, but if the food is sometimes crispy and delicious and other times soggy and disappointing, I don't plan on returning anymore.

Went yesterday for a late lunch around 2pm. It was much busier than I thought it would be for the time, but our table of 5 was seated right away. Everything we ordered was so good! Generous portions, delicious flavors, and decent pricing. Large tables for all the plates of delicious food. Also, noted a lot of families and large groups, including a couple birthday celebrations. Service was okay... not sure if maybe they were short staffed or if it was that busy, but took a while at times especially initially when we were finally ready to order but when they check in they really do serve you with what you need.

The food is so delicious. I have tried different ones and all taste good. The service is good too, especially considering the fact they sometimes they get really busy. The ambiance is causal and laid back. They also have a nice outdoor patio. If open, I highly recommend the patio. The waiters are also quick and polite.

My husband and I have wanted to eat here for years. We finally ate here yesterday. We each ordered the lunch special which came with soup, an entree and a side of rice. The price was reasonable for what things cost these days. The soup came out quick as did the rest of our meal. The food was good although there was a very distinct taste in the beef dish that I didn't care for. Some sort of spice they used. I asked the waitress what it could be but she didn't know... I'm not sure if they are using a lot of MSG or what but during our meal my husband and I immediately started feeling really tired and kind of icky. Not that the food tasted bad/was old but something they put in it got to us. I'm not sure that we will go back due to the reason I mentioned above. If we did, we would definitely try something different.

Great restaurant with easy and no frills dishes. Lunch prices are reasonable and portions are generous. Some of the dishes are in the salty side but authentic chinese are there.

Really enjoy the food from this place. Fulfilling and tastey, most of the time I take it to go. There is plenty of free parking, staff are always nice and helpful. I make the order ahead of time and it's ready when I get there..

Waiters are very unprofessional and rude not sure if they are happy with their jobs but need a smile on the face. Went today with 4 adults and my 14 month old daughter and 3 year old daughter and with some shi**y service they had the audacity to charge me without my permission a 18% gratuity when they didn't even come to my table even once after we received the food to see if we needed anything or how was our food. With this Shi**y service and rude behavior I wanted to tip less or even 0 but I guess they do whatever they want. Tip if for good service not mandatory when u get bad service. Maybe the waiters don't even get the tip we leave so they really don't even care about it.

The food is delicious the service was also amazing. I would recommend the scallion pancakes with chili chicken and egg fried rice put it to a small burrito type thing. The ambiance is also really good and it is a very chill place plus it has multiple screen and fans to cool you but the food is delicious I would definitely recommend this resurant to everyone

This place is our go to for Chinese! Feels like your at someone's home. Large families go. Large servings, well priced. The Orange chicken was a little dry last time. Great veggie options. I do not recommend the tofu roll. Not flavorful.

Husband and I met a friend here for lunch. The restaurant looks like it's been here forever and I wouldn't recommend it for its ambiance. We ordered off the regular menu since their lamb dishes weren't on the lunch special selection. We ordered sesame flatbread, which came out warm and was delicious. It's like scallion pie, but a little thicker with sesame seeds. The garlic lamb was also a hit, and probably the best of the dishes that we ordered. The spicy string beans were typical stir fried string beans. The pan fried noodles with shrimp was the least favorite dish. The noodles weren't crispy and the dish was flooded with gravy. One of the waiters brought a wrong pan fried noodle dish, and I suspect they took topping off and then put the shrimp on with more gravy. We had leftovers but none of us wanted to take it home. Service was ok after our friend started speaking Cantonese to the waitress. I've had better food in the South Bay and I'm not sure I'd rush back anytime soon.

I ordered takeout and honestly wish I hadn't. The orange chicken reeked like rotten fish -- absolutely disgusting and completely inedible. The fried rice had the same weird fishy smell, like it had been cooked in dirty, reused oil. It tasted off, like something that had been sitting out too long. Even the soup tasted old, like it had been reheated from days ago. Nothing was fresh, nothing was right, and I couldn't eat any of it. Total waste of money. Save yourself the stomachache and go literally anywhere else.

Excellent food. Always busy which is a good thing. Good service. Good menu variety. Ambience is great. Lunch specials are a good value.
