This is yet another hidden gem of a Chinese restaurant in San Diego. Skip all the larger chain restaurants and try this one instead! They have plenty of seating, the staff was very friendly, and the food was excellent. The orange chicken was very crispy and delicious, the crab rangoons were cooked perfectly, and the fried rice was excellent. This restaurant has some of the best orange chicken that I’ve tried as well. There is plenty of parking, as this restaurant is located in a pretty big strip mall. I found this restaurant on a recommendation, and I will definitely be going back for more when I’m in the area.

I have been holding off on writing a review for this “best-kept secret” here in our neighborhood. Just because we would hate for it to become TOO popular… But I have to give credit where it’s due. The staff kept up with demanding customers all throughout the Covid pandemic with take-out food. Now it’s back open to indoor dining once again. The food is very tasty. We love the pan-fried noodles and whatever the fresh vegetable of the day is. They have lunch specials that are good. The won ton soup is really yummy. Kudos to Joyce who always greets us with a smile.

Super legit! Decent food at reasonable price AND friendly service. What more could you ask for! I stopped in on a whim in the middle of laundry mat adventures so I was blown away at their prices in San Diego it’s rare to see this. Come, experience and enjoy.

Been dining here for nearly 25 years… they have the best food, but the secret gem?… Their wanton soup… we call it the Magic Soup, because every time we ever had a cold we go get the family size wonton soup and the next day, cold is gone!

I have never posted a review of any restaurant I have ever eaten at. But I do need to review this one, it was the worst experience I’ve ever had for Chinese food ever. I have never had sweet and sour pork fried in balls and with very little taste. My wonton soup was barely warm but did have flavor. I would never eat at this restaurant again.

Ordered chicken lo mein got horrible food poisoning! I was sick for days had to see a doctor to check for dehydration. Called to speck to the manager and inform him. Instead of apologizing and offering to refund the cost of the meal but, he argued with me and to convince me I was allergic to MSG! I’m half Chinese and definitely not allergic to MSG. Won’t be going back there.

I’m the president of the USC Triathlon team. For a race in the local area, we brought 16 people here on a Saturday night, and the staff treated us all so nicely and politely. Not only was the service great, but also the food was amazing. The staff was able to accomodate all of the team’s dietary needs and restrictions. So glad we brought the team here!

The server was pleasant and mostly knowledgeable. The one thing she did not know, however, was that the plum sauce was sweet. My dining guest asked if it was sweet or not sweet, and the server said it was not sweet, which my guest was glad to hear. When the plum sauce arrived however, not only was it sweet, but it was watery. It soaked through the moo shu pancakes instead of being a thick, clingy sauce. After we placed our order, the server asked if I wanted rice. Yes, of course. Doesn’t it come with rice? At a Chinese restaurant, I expect rice to be included. Nope. $1.50 extra for a small bowl of white rice! I wanted to leave, but my companion was too hungry and wanted to stay, so we stayed. Nowhere on the menu did it say that entrees did not include rice.

Was back in town for family Christmas and couldn’t wait to have the BEST Chinese food. Hands down… We’ve lived in North Carolina, Texas, California and Japan for the BEST Chinese food we come to La China in the little community of Fletcher Hills, San Diego, California. You want good tasting food without the celery filler?.. this is the place. We ordered crispy beef, cashew chicken, shrimp with snow peas, Saigon noodles fried rice and steamed rice, all so good and each taste unique. NO fillers here!
