    We came by again and they were bustling at lunch rush! Hope that continues so their business can thrive long term. Pros - Thai iced tea with boba - 5 stars! Service - 5 stars, as usual. Very friendly peeps here. Cleanliness - 5 stars. You can see everything they're doing. The space seemed very clean. Cons - The kiosk does not seem to let you adjust sweetness to 0% (unless maybe my old eyes just missed it?)

    This is my favorite place for Boba. The boba is the best in Redding. It's made fresh every 4 hours. Their tea is brewed on site, not from powder. I've been hitting this place once or twice a week since I discovered it. Owner Sam is friendly and service is fast.

    Best Thai tea &  Brown sugar Bobba tea too!!

    BEST CHICKEN FRIED RICE OF MY LIFE!! that says a lot cause I'm old! thank you Samantha and P&BC for bringing culture to the Westside

    Clean inside, prices are decent, drinks and food are good, staff is friendly! Would return again.

    Orange chicken

    Not even close to being orange chicken do not recommend getting it false advertising what they show in their picture and I didn't see an option for me to choose chow mein instead of rice. I would've had to buy a whole separate container for that.

    I thought it was very bland. Weird orange chicken. Where is the sauce? Not much flavor. Good service tho.

    Mongolian beef. Tender beef. Beef fried rice. Combo plate with Kung pao chicken and sweet and sour chicken

    Cute little cafe. We got the Thai tea and brown sugar boba and both were delicious. The boba had a good level of chewiness and was soft. The food is priced great and is delicious. I got the Mongolian beef and beef fried rice. The beef is tender. My husband got the fried rice, chow mein sweet and sour chicken and Kung pao chicken and he loved it. Friendly staff, they'll treat you like family. Good service. Check them out!

    The Thai tea was good, the boba was soft and large which I appreciate. Softest in town I've found so far. The red bean paste fish bites were tasty. The batter was sweet. Not enough filling for my liking. I will be returning and trying other items. Overall would recommend. I hope the quality stays this good! The prices are also very fair, and the staff were friendly.

We ordered from the Lunch Special menu, which was from 11AM to 3PM everyday. The entrees came with Soup of the Day, Egg Roll, and either Steamed Rice, Pork Fried Rice, or Chicken Chow Mein. We ordered the Chicken with Snow Peas with Steamed Rice for $11.75, Vegetable Bean Curd with Steamed Rice for $11.55, and Beef with Oyster Sauce with Chicken Chow Mein for $12.55. The Soup of the Day was Hot & Sour Soup. The soup was really good, delicious, and not spicy at all. The Egg Rolls were crispy and too oily. The dipping sauce for the egg rolls was good. All the dishes were descent, but way too salty. We were told you can request the dishes to be light on the salt. We wouldn't mind returning next time as the flavors were good, but we would request the dishes be less salty.

Let me tell you!!! As someone who lives in the Bay Area, I get real excited when I see good prices like here, especially from Asian restaurants where normally every entree other than an appetizer is about $15-$17. You can't find good chow mein for under that price where I live in San Jose. This restaurant was fresh and delicious, flavorful and overall everything you'd expect from a Chinese restaurant. The place overall is quiet and soothing, a nice atmosphere to just sit and have a decent meal in peace. They even got some classical music playing subtly in the background, like a spa. The staff are very polite and welcoming, mostly women in the front, very kind and sweet. They smile a lot and refilled our drinks without us asking. Everything we had ordered was splendid. Chow mein was firm, not soggy, sauce stuck into the noodle, full of flavor, didn't even need to add soy sauce. Had a nice "wok hei" flavor to it too, for those that don't know it basically means savory and smoky like how Chinese food should taste. Garlic chicken was delicious and not too spicy at all, just some chili flakes. It didn't really have a garlicky flavor but more of a sweet, sour and mild kind of flavor. Great portions and a nice balance of veggies, sauce and meat. Nothing here tasted bland. The broth of the sizzling rice was perfect, not too salty and for once they actually put the toasted rice on the side so it doesn't get too soggy within the soup. I love this place, if I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be back, maybe even during the night when the bar is open. I've never been to a Chinese restaurant that had an open bar and tv which I thought was pretty classic. They closed my favorite local Chinese spot in my neighborhood and I've been all over the bay but this place up in Redding is the closest to it, very happy we came across this on yelp. It was worth turning around 10 minutes just to try it. We had ordered the lunch special (11am to 3pm) combo plate with chicken chow mein, chicken with garlic sauce, it came with an egg roll and your choice of egg flour or sweet and sour soup. My hubby got shrimp fried rice and I had ordered the sizzling rice soup because I came across another review that said it was the best they've ever tried. I had to get me some, it's a childhood classic for me and I agree it's the best. Also we only paid $41 plus tip for a lotta food. I rate this place 12/10!

    Food here has gone downhill over the last few years. They are nice but really not terribly good.read more

The restaurant closes 9 PM and we were lucky enough to reach before that as we entered. The ambience was amazing. The hotel was quite big enough and the sitting area was also very pretty. Me and my daughter and my husband selected up place. We ordered a dinner plate unknowing of the fact both the quantity of the food and as we were hungry enough so we ordered one plate of kung pao chicken, which comes with egg drop soup and one egg roll along with a plate of half chicken needles, half pork fried rice or boiled rice, optional along with the compound chicken and we ordered another plate of sweet-and-sour chicken along with the same combination of fried rice or white rice and half chicken noodles along with a soup and one roll and my daughter ordered a plate of chicken noodle noodles. The food was served within five minutes and seeing the quantity we got scared because it was huge. I would recommend you if you are with a kid or if you are three people please go for two plates as it's really huge amount of quantity we couldn't finish it at all. We had to box it and when we really ordered three box Ambience was really quiet. And I really like the service as they were gentle and friendly.

I was about to walk away but we were tired from hiking that day so my family wanted to stay. The greeter refused our request twice to sit at a corner table for a party of six. We opted not to sit on high chair as none of us liked it. She basically rolled her eyes and questioned us twice of why and refused our request. The food is absolutely beyond typical. We are from Hong Kong and we expect nothing authentic at the place, as long as it tastes descent. For the atmosphere, it may score a point or two. But for the food flavor, save your money, go to any chinese fast food place, you will enjoy it as much and opposed to dining here.

There are plenty of parking in this shopping center. The restaurant is very clean and airy, quite a huge place. The price is very reasonable for all the foods that they have. There is everything for any taste, it's like the Newark Buffet near our home. We got the senior discount automatically which was nice, enough for 2 drinks. The soup bar is excellent, seafood soup, hot and sour, wonton soup they're all good. The sushi bar has all the pre-made sushi which are ok. Every buffet, I would try every dish a little to see what I like, I did like the chicken wings, the scallops, salt and pepper shrimps, actually, all the fried dishes are great, hot and tasty. The hot foods come out very quickly as soon as the trays look low on food. I tried all the soups and they're quite delicious. The service is very attentive and quick for a buffet restaurant, everyone is quite pleasant. The dessert and salad bar are plentiful with fresh produce, jello and I love the almond cookies and coffee cakes. It was a hearty meal for us after a long day hiking in the Burney Falls loop. We'll stop by here next time we're in this area, definitely.
