The food was great, huge portions! They don't have a family style type eating situation but you can make each plate a meal. The owners I would imagine they were the owners were very nice and it was a good time. It's nothing except a little strip mall restaurant, nothing fancy at all, so no need to dress up haha actually might try to go tomorrow for New Year's Eve.
This review is based on the epic service we had on Christmas Day with a large group for lunch at China 1968. This is a very casual restaurant with delicious dishes and the ability to handle a crazy group of 13 people on a holiday. The service was truly seamless. We ordered a ton of food and it just kept coming as we passed dishes. Somehow our servers always managed to find a spot for each plate. I am very thankful for the staff who worked on Christmas to provide our group with a fun and delicious meal. My favorite dishes were the Hot and Sour soup, Mongolian beef, Egg Foo Young, Sweet and Sour pork, and Lo Mein. The egg rolls are big and stuffed with vegetables and you'll say you're only eating half but you won't be able to control yourself. Ok maybe that was me. They're so good!
One of my go-to places for Chinese food whenever I'm in East County for sure. My partner usually likes Panda Express which I cannot stand! They are like Taco Bell to Mexico LOL. It can be more on the price your side but it is well worth it. I love their vegetable chow mein, it's not overly sauced or too dry. Highly recommend trying them out
Close to my house and really good food and fast service. The chow main was delicious and hot, so good. If you haven't been there yet, You should. Parking lot is small, I parked next door in the Food 4 Less lot and just walk over to the place.
I recently researched a good Chinese restaurant for takeout, and it was a great experience! I called the restaurant, and the person who answered was so patient and helpful, answering every single question I had. It was really nice. I gave them a pickup time, and it was totally worth it. We tried the Beef Lo Mein ($15.99), Shrimp House Special Fried Rice ($14.99), Salt & Pepper Shrimp ($19.99), and Homestyle Tofu ($14.99). Everything was delicious, flavorful, and perfectly salty. The portions were generous, enough for the two of us, which was amazing. Just a heads-up: since it's a restaurant, if you're sensitive to salt, you might want to ask them to go easy on it. Otherwise, just drink plenty of water. Personally, I loved it! We'll definitely be returning.
Our go to is always Panda or Chins but we saw this place nearby and decided to try it and it did not disappoint. Food tasted so fresh, wings were super crispy, and orange chicken had more than enough sauce. Rice and Lo Mei had great taste, especially the rice with all the different proteins they add. Service was good and prices were fair. The portions are big, definitely shareable. May look like a hole in the wall from the outside but it's worth the stop.
That was lightning fast service! I walked in around 12:15pm. They had a brisk business going with multiple take out customers and at least 4 full tables. It was much nicer inside than the strip mall exterior implied. I barely had time to sit down before my order that I had just placed at the counter was ready. And it was piping hot! The plastic bag had condensation between it and the table when I ate lunch, The lunch specials are delicious and generous! They do give you soup with your to-go order which was a nice change from other places. I will definitely be back! The hot and sour soup had plenty of tofu and brown mushrooms but no black fungus. The flavor was well balanced. I had Szechwan Garlic Shrimp. The sauce was brown and I didn't see a lot of garlic but the flavor was very good. The onions and carrots were crisp and flavorful. The shrimp looked like 20 count shrimp so they were a good size and they were juicy and delicious. I chose steamed rice and it was good. My daughter liked the egg roll.
2/3/24 - we ordered about $600 of 1/2 trays for a private event. We went there a week earlier to place the order in. Everything was ready to go 1 week later at the exact time. We go here every year and never have issues. Wonderful people and great food. We ordered enough food for 50 persons. Check out the half party trays. Everyone enjoyed it. The favorites which were cleaned out from the guest was the wings, BBQ pork fried rice and honey shrimp and walnuts.
