I will preface by saying I am reviewing the food & staff only... because if I wasn't familiar with border states, spoke the language & was with my husband & Godmother I wouldn't of stopped. The area looks sketching at best, but again the WHOLE area looks that way, all the businesses looked closed. This particular restaurant has it's own parking lot across the street which is how I found it (HUGE sign) because the GPS had me a block away. I go to the lot & look for the restaurant, thankfully the guard? security guy? at the entrance had to tell me it was across the street... well still couldn't determine where because there's no signage, had someone not been leaving & opened the curtained door we wouldn't of known it was there &/or open... okay, done with that part!
The waitress was super nice & very helpful, I knew the food would be delicious (90% of Chinese restaurants are in Mexicali) but I wasn't familiar with the names of dishes. We ordered the Sea Food Combination for 2pl & all 3 of us ate plenty & still had leftovers, they have Very Good Portions. It came with... Shrimp Fried Rice, Shrimp Chop Suey, Salt Pepper Calamari with Asparagus, Shrimp in Mayonnaise (it's not what you think) super yummy. We did pay extra to have the Wor Wonton Soup, because it's my favorite & OMG their broth was SPECTACULAR!!!! So flavorful. All their dishes were fresh & very tasty, the fried rice had plenty of good sized shrimp, pet peeve of mine is the fried rice with those itty bitty shrimp.
I wish we had that kind of Chinese food here in San Diego... because if it wasn't for the area/border wait I would definitely go more often. read more
