Just amazing, very kind and friendly staff, they knew most customers by name, like friends, hugs and smiles, the food was very good, Mongolian beef and house Chow Mein are delicious. They keep the place clean and there is a relaxing ambiance overall.

Exactly what we were looking for – fresh, friendly, and delicious. We had the orange peel beef and it was light, crispy, and tangy. We paired it with some egg fried rice, and vegetable lo mein. The staff were attentive and kind. Great experience!

Such a rare find these days… Great Chinese food! This place manages to pull it off! So much better than some of the stuff I’ve had in China Town in the big city. Everything is made fresh! And you can taste it! Can’t remember the last time I tasted a freshly julienned piece of ginger in my Chinese food. This is how Chinese food is supposed to be. Their lunch specials are great and come with fried rice, soup and a fried chicken wing. Very reasonably priced. Two people can get out of here with a lunch bill under $25. You can tell the locals love this place and the take out business was booming. The interior is a little dated but the bathrooms are clean and food is top notch. Highly recommended.

Some of the best food and best people you will ever find! When we lived in California we would go all the time, this is the best Chinese food that we have experienced in any state! The owners are frequently there and they too are very good people. Even though we no longer live in California, we go back frequently and immediately had back to experience the great food and people.

Wow, talk about authentic good Chinese food. This place blows all big chain Chinese restaurants away. This place is a must. The staff is friendly and service was extremely fast.

Excellent service. Food and hot tea were comforting. Exactly what we were looking for that day. Everyone there seemed local. Inside was cozy and nostalgic. We ordered the beef and broccoli and chicken lo mein.

The food was amazing, please try the honey walnut shrimp (best I’ve ever had). Excellent customer service and a comfortable atmosphere. Would recommend to a friend and anyone looking for Chinese cuisine.

Family owned and very close to Laguna Playhouse, Sawdust Festival and Pageant of the Masters venues. Pleasant people. Extraordinarily good food delivered to your table quickly and piping hot.

From out of town. Native New Yorker, no other place i thought could fry rice like new york. I was wrong! Mandarin King knocks it out of the Park! Not only there rice but there entrées! Wow! I suggest the orange peel beef. Staff is amazing and friendly. My son has a soy and peanut allergy, they did everything in there power to accommodate. If i am ever in these neck of the woods i will definitely return!
