    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.

    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!

We got lunch specials the first time with paper wrapped chicken (tender dark pieces of meat wrapped in tin foil) and the second time we got the sizzling rice soup. Very nice waiters, will definitely stop by again next year Redding!

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.

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.

    Few weeks ago, we took a drive to visit Burney Falls near Redding, on the way back to the East Bay,…read morewe found this restaurant and we're so hungry. 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.

To pay him back I asked him where he wanted to go for lunch, he said that Chinese buffet. OK, I know what place he's talkin about, the Grand Buffet, On Hilltop Drive just off the 5 off of East Cypress exit. East to find and lots of parking. Looks like it's been over 2 years since I was here. The price for lunch now is $17 bucks plus tax and some tip. We get there and the place looks about the same as the last time I was here. They have these big Koi fish that seem to be an attraction near the front. We get seated and drink orders taken. We got here close to opening at 11 am. so all the food was nice and fresh and hot. Don't get here half hour before closing and expect there to be all hot fresh food, it ain't gonna happen. Some of the things I love here are those ribs! Yeah, Chinese can make so damn good ribs! Not Texas style though. Chicken wings are another of my fave here. My friend went wild and ate a ton of food, all kinds of noodles, ribs and wings. I pretty much skipped the carbs and filled up with shrimp, wings and ribs. They even have french fries if you want! Service is the usual just clear the plates and fill the drinks with minimal conversation. I gotta remember this place is here!
