    Point point
    Mark L.

    Solid point point Chinese food in Oxnard. I'll go here when I want something more authentic that Panda Express. And of course cheaper too. Here's some of my fav dishes here: - chow mein is great!! - orange chicken is good. Probably more traditional style than Panda Express...but we know Panda Express is not Chinese haha. - my wife loves the soups. She's tried the egg flower soup and sweet and sour soup. - dim sum dishes are great!! Love that there's an option for dim sum Only thing about this place is that dim sum is made fresh, which means you have to wait. Waiting can be a little long so if you are looking for truly fast Chinese food, avoid ordering dim sum. The point point section is good enough. But again, great alternative to Panda Express. I'll be coming back here.

    Always a beauty to see these baby dumplings!

    Just picked up an order of noodz and I made orange chicken, white rice, and gyoza at home. The noodz taste a bit different. The color is different than what I've seen on reviews. However, the BEST noodles!

    I was just here for Dimsum, I was driving around looking for a place to eat and boom I found this place. Maybe maybe this is the only place in ventura that sells dimsum... in LA 4 piece is around 4.50 to 6 but here it's 7.50 . I ordered pork shumai and shrimp dumpling ... so the shrimp have 2 small shrimp and some kind of filler. It's an okay place if your desperate..service is good.. food is good.. Im not going to lower the star cause of the price and quality of the dumpling cause I was craving for it.

    Hair, pubes, lashes? ! Disgusting

    Place use to be decent, it was my go to now the past 3 times food is gross! Hair in the chow main, charged me extra $5.99 for old uncooked pork. I don't mind paying for good food, I asked the lady at front that I'd like a refund and she said no "you get what you get" never again! Don't recommend at all !!

    BBQ Pork Fried Rice

    Made an online order for pickup on Grubhub, order was ready upon arrival. Food was very hot and tasty. The portion of the BBQ Pork Fried Rice was enough for two, and for only $10!

    If you want good food to eat. I highly recommend this place. Also they offer takeout or delivery. I was here yesterday and had to come back again.

    False lunch special

    I grew up in LA so I definitely expected better Chinese fast food. This place has a lunch special advertised on their front window but it's only served when they decide, nickel & dime for everything & wait time for the dim sum is 50 minutes! Won't ever come back to this place. I'll stick to China Kitchen in Ventura for good Chinese.

    Happy Panda has Dim Sum now !!!!  They added more things to menu too ,give them a try :)

    Drove into town from the dessert this evening and wanted Chinese. Checked out a few reviews and…read moreonly 2 places popped up that had at least 4 stars. After looking at menus and comparing we decided on Peking. Sure glad we did too! I have to say if you are ever in Ventura please give this place a try! First thing I noticed is this place is simple yet has a quality about it. I would bring a date here, rather maybe a second or third date. It's nice inside. Wait staff was amazing. Now to the good stuff! I ordered chicken chow fun and partner had Mushu pork and for the appetizer we ordered the paper wrapped chicken. The chicken hit the table first wrapped in tin foil. That didn't deter us at all. This was served with duck sauce and spicy mustard. The mustard was amazing but i love spice! Both were good but the mustard opened up my nasal passages and made me go wow!! Awesome! The two main dishes hit the table and we dug in. Both were great! Let me tell you how hard it is to find a good Chinese place that isn't swimming in soy and oil! This place seasoned correctly and was not greasy at all!! I will tell you this; if you like fast Chinese food like Panda Express and that is what you think of Chinese food then stay there. Here you'll get properly seasoned fair. Over all I recommend and when back in Ventura will visit again for sure! The pictures don't do this place justice.

    Come here often for their lunch specials as it is close to work. One of the more authentic Chinese…read morerestaurants in Ventura. The food is consistently good. Everything is flavorful without the greasiness. I like that they don't over season or drown their food in sauce so it seems healthier too. Welcoming staff and attentive service. They serve dim sum on the weekends so will have to come back to try that.

    Was driving by on our way to some other restaurant when my partner insisted we pull in. From the…read moreparking lot we could see only one table with a two people, but a large, happy looking, family was exiting with arm fulls of to go bags so we decided to chance it, my partner especially excited for hot pot. We let the group pass us and entered the restaurant. We were promptly seated at a corner table and given menus. It did take a bit for the server to come back to take our order, but we did realize we came in 1/2 hour before closing, so we eased off a bit. My partner order the hot pot and was very happy with his choice. The server came back with a hot plate and instructed us how to cook the meat. I was a bit apprehensive about having to cook my own food, but the fragrant smell as it cooked changed my mind. The broth was flavorful and the veg and meat were tender as they soaked up the soupy goodness. I also ordered the boa buns and the pillowy texture, mixed with the soft pork and crunchy cucumber and carrots made my belly sing. We slurped up our food and cleared out as quickly as we could. I hate being that person that lingers at closing time. What I do regret is that I did not take more time at their counter as we exited because it was full of snacks and curios that I love. Next time for sure!
