Hot & Sour Soup
Cara C.

Looking for a great Chinese restaurant? Look no further. This food place is my go to place in this area. The staff is super friendly and fast. The food here just tastes so good. The plus is that besides main Chinese dishes, they also serve dim sum. My go to are the xia long bao, pan fried noodles, fried tofu, and any of the soup. The ambiance is casual, but enough for a date, family gathering, and friend lunch date. The seating is all inside. Don't be afraid to bring a big group, they have tables that can sit 8. They also do takeout and are great about any food allergies. Parking is in a plaza, so plenty to go around.

Salad

Service is outstanding. Shout out to the bus boy! His name is Lennon. I am dehydrated after traveling across the country. Lennon said, I've got your back. He showed up every time my drink was getting low. He is a keeper. We ordered the lunch deal. We started out with the egg flower soup. It was better than most places. It is a thicker consistency that we love. Hubby loved the salad. He said it is perfect. Lettuce & carrots are fresh. The crunchy wonton strips were yummy. We both loved the Kung pao chicken. Great spice, flavor, and peanuts. The chicken was tender. We thought that the orange chicken was just ok. We felt the same about the fried rice. We will be returning customers. I hope that Lennon is working when we come back.

3.5 overall but rounding up . I ordered the Mongolian Beef . Service was good and we were checked on often ! Clean restaurant. Not super busy during lunch but there was a crowd. I would back to try more items!

My friend and I tried this spot for lunch and were immediately impressed. I've been eyeing this spot for years but it's just a little far from me so that's the only reason I hadn't ventured in here sooner. We came for the lunch specials and left knowing we had found a great new Chinese spot. The restaurant is so much cuter than I would have ever known from the exterior. Walking inside it was cozy and more dimly lit which I love as it sets the vibe for a comfortable meal. They had plenty of large tables to accommodate big groups but I was happy we got a comfortable booth for two. The decor was traditional yet warm and inviting. I also liked that from where I sat I had a good view of the kitchen, the kitchen looked super clean and organized in the back. Can't say I've always felt this way at traditional mom and pop restaurants. Here it's very clean and sanitary which is so important! The staff were genuinely all super friendly. We felt welcome from the moment we walked in, throughout our meal, and when we left. We were seated right away at lunch rush and we were taken very good care of. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I like that all of the staff here help each other out as our waters always remained filled and one of the gals checked up on us at the end to see how we enjoyed our meal, giving us recommendations for next time. Lovely service. The food overall was very very good. I enjoyed my meal a lot. The starter egg drop soup and salad that come with the lunch special was so fire. Love me some good egg drop soup. I ordered the peppered shrimp for my main. It was cooked perfectly and had a crispy peppery batter, it was phenomenal. Normally I like an overly sauced dish but this was so good. Definitely would recommend if you don't mind some peppery flavors. My friend and I split the har gow dumplings and the flavors were delicious. At first I was worried as the wrapper was sticky and hard to get out of the little pot but flavor wise it was as good as I could have hoped for. Their chili oil here is also really tasty. My meal here was a 4.5/5. Wonderful! Pricing is very reasonable. For lunch special and splitting dumplings the bill was about $20 each before tip. Pretty good price for lunch if I say so myself. This place hit all of the marks, cute restaurant, reasonable prices, tasty food, and super kind service. I'll definitely be back now that this spot is on my radar.

Rolls hot and sour soup and fried chicken
Stephanie D.

We just moved from Camarillo to Ventura, and since this place is close to us, we had to give it a try and wow, we're so glad we did! The service was amazing our server was super friendly, on top of everything, and really attentive. The hot & sour and egg drop soups were both sooo good My husband ordered the Mongolian beef and absolutely loved it! I got the honey walnut shrimp, which I'd rate about a 7.5/10 still tasty, and I have a feeling a lot of their dishes are going to be delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more, especially with how great the reviews are!

Imperial shrimp
Claudine R.

Nice, quiet restaurant with friendly and attentive service for a late lunch on a Sunday. Had the west lake beef soup and it was light and delicious. Enjoyed the sizzling seafood although it didn't have squid, just fish fillet and shrimp. Chinese broccoli with black mushroom was tasty and the only dish we weren't crazy of was the imperial shrimp, had I known it was breaded and fried, we would've never ordered it. Loved the fried rice. It was a very satisfying late lunch.

Peking restaurant is a hidden gem! Amazing lunch specials (tues-sat!!), very cozy interior with booth seating, and great service. We came by for lunch Saturday around 1ish and ordered the kung pao chicken, honey walnut shrimp, and orange chicken lunch special. Each lunch special is served with a salad with a creamy dressing, your choice of egg drop soup or hot and sour soup, and steamed or fried rice. It was a great deal and so filling. I enjoyed every dish and will order the kung pao chicken medium spicy next time! We ordered mild and felt like it could use a little bit more kick.

Menu

Came here for a date night on the weekend and what a treat it was! Employees were knowledgable, timely, and friendly. The restaurant is clean and well-decorated. Food was wonderful, everything tasted delicious and fresh. We ordered several dishes and enjoyed each one of them. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in search of tasty Chinese food in the 805. Tips: -Peking duck on the menu notes that there is a two hour ahead notice required. -We did have to ask for the dim sum menu specifically, it is separate from the main menu.

Special Group Dinners

Solid place for a variety of Chinese food flavors and dishes; came here twice in a week, preferred their EZ takeout ordering online, then pick up to eat at home. Good quality and wide menu for meats, seafood, veggies, noodle and rice dishes, appetizers plus dim sum (on wkends). Casual ambience, friendly service (efficient but slower) and moderate pricing. Overall 3.5+ rating for good eats. Expect to pay $13-15pp for lunch specials, or $15-25pp for dinner. Indoor dining has 15-20 booths/tables, so if busy mealtime hours, there may be a wait. Today we tried a few Dim Sum dishes to start - our fave was the steamed pork soup dumplings, tasty! Also a big fan of their Mu Shu Pork ... meat, veggies and egg stir-fried then wrapped in warm pancake wrapper served with Hoisin sauce - delicious! Can't find this dish very often, so i enjoyed it both times ordering food here. Plenty to choose from on the menu, and they also have luncheon specials that come with soup/salad/app during afternoon hours. Decent spot if you're craving some Chinese food, and not looking for a fast food restaurant. Enjoy!!

Crispy fried noodles 3 ways
Crystal M.

Clean, traditional, & well maintained restaurant. We opted to try their bao as requested. While I didn't get much soul in the bao itself, they gave a bowl which looks to be like juice to top it. It was flavorful and not dry. The wonton also had a surprisingly burst of sweet and savory but no where near spicy despite the chili flakes. The crispy noodles were good. As it was thinner noodles, the gravy sauce drenched also soften it up making it a different texture that you expect from this dish. Service was great! Quick and attentive to not just our food but water too! We grabbed boba prior so this was just a snack meal for our party!

Fried Rice ???
Suzanne B.

Fried Rice????? This was hardly fried rice, totally bummed. I understand it's Christmas and it's busy, but this was more white rice with a tinge of beige and one small morsel of fried egg in the whole container. I was so looking forward to my order but was disappointed. Mongolian Beef was quite bland and fatty, I'm glad I paid extra for a little container of hoisen, the walnut shrimp was great...but my order was just about $70 for these and an order of crab Rangoon

Egg Flower Soup salad
Anita C.

Went for lunch on a Saturday and they still had the lunch specials which I loved! The salad was so tasty and so was the soup it came with! I ordered the broccoli and beef and it was a big portion and super flavorful.

Do they still offer Peking Duck? I didn't see it on the menu

Yes. It requires a 2.5 hour advance order.

Do you have delivery?

Yes. The only criteria is the order minimum is $20 and the delivery has to be within five miles of the restaurant. We only deliver to Ventura addresses.

Don't bother. Not great.

Do they have luncheon specials?

Yes, they have both lunch and dinner specials plus their regular menu.

Lori, that would be great!!! Thank you for thinking about us. Cedric

Is there a happy hour?

Thank you for the great question. We do not have a Happy Hour yet.

Can they accommodate a peanut allergy?

Old school Chinese restaurant…read more Booths, reasonably priced lunch specials that include soup, rice and a fortune cookie. Also, super hot tea in a pot to share, the Chinese year calendar placemats, big round tables for large parties (5+) and a backroom for even larger parties. Yolanda's downtown put in a separate little backroom when they remodeled, but hardly any other restaurants seem to have them anymore. Love the vibe, but if the food sucked we wouldn't go. And we go, we go a lot, we are regulars. FRESHEST vegetables, soft velveted chicken pieces, not hard tasteless rubber chicken, and served HOT, freshly made and quick. On the lunch special menu, I recommend the chicken with string beans that comes with a full flavored brown sauce or the milder chicken with vegetables with a colorless clear glaze, both with vegetables so fresh and perfectly cooked, they can restart a healthy habit eating week. Hub is a fan of the hot and sour soup that comes with the lunch specials. He says it's the best he's had, and he eats out almost everyday all over. Also he likes the hot mustard they have. I guess there's a difference and he says their's is authentic and the best. I get the egg flower, which is plainer and just what I want if tucking in for some hot cozy soup before chicken, rice and vegetables, both served piping hot. They used to serve an egg roll with the lunch special, but no more and the fried rice used to have vegetable squares in it, but now only soy sauce it seems, in case you haven't been here in a while and don't know. Last, the orange chicken is really good and used to be my usual lunch special, but it got knocked off that pedestal by the chicken and vegetables, which along with the chicken and string beans, is craveable. UPDATE - well, like since last week. It seems to be the same servers that have been there for decades. Older personable ladies who ... read Chinese! I had an antique spoon with Chinese characters on it, brought it in, asked for their help, and they gladly read what I thought would be a mysterious name or monogram. Turns out it read 'Hong Kong!' It was a souvenir spoon! We all had a good laugh :D

It's been a while since I've dined in at this restaurant, but I was recently there and the…read moreexperience was a little different. The older lady pointed to the table and I sat down. I sat for a little bit while the server was clearing the table next to mine to seat another party. I wasn't given a menu until that party was seated and given their menu. Almost immediately after the older lady approached to take my order but since I hadn't had time to look it over I asked for a minute, but I did order hot tea. After a few minutes I was ready to order. At that time the older lady still haven't brought me the tea. The server went to take the order of the table next to me, even though they were seated later than me, and then came to take my order. There were two times the server used my table to put things down that she couldn't hold on to when serving the table behind me. One was the water pitcher (I didn't have any water) and the second time was an empty bowl. She would grab it afterwards but didn't say anything at all both times. I thought that was a bit odd. Prices have gone up. They no longer give the fried wanton crisp with the lunch special. Fried rice was mainly rice, although I did find two little specks of egg. The soup also didn't seem to have as much ingredients as before either. Another thing I noticed was the tip percentages listed on the receipt was after tax. Although the food still tasted good, I will only stick to doing takeout from here.

You truly can't miss w/ the padthai: classic, perfectly balanced, & sooo satisfying. The papaya salad w/ shrimp was my personal fav; one bite had me craving more. I'm honestly drooling just thinking about it while writing this. The restaurant is on the smaller side & fills up rather quickly, often reaching a full house, so going earlier in the day is the best way to fully enjoy both the food & the experience. The servers are efficient, attentive, & keep everything moving seamlessly. If you love thai cuisine, this spot is a must visit. I highly recommend!

It was a cold rainy day. Not many people when we arrived,…read moreand with all of the doors open to the patio, it was COLD. even in the back near the kitchen. Pretty good vegetarian. Good portions. Pricey because of the location. PARKING There's a lot just up the street and plenty of street parking around. FOOD (lunch) Vegetarian options include fried tofu. Excellent. Portions are generous, but not "shareable" big for lunch. Great curry flavors. Not too spicy tho. It's a little in the expensive side - but that's the tax for being so conveniently close to everything. TOFU PANANG - Good. Not spicy at all. More rice would've been nice. CHICKEN PUMPKIN CURRY - Very Good. Tender pumpkin/squash pieces. SERVICE There were many to go and delivery orders today. We were given menus and the server (only one today) had to disappear to prep all of the dine out orders. We ordered, then they were gone again until drinks and food came together. INTERIORS I couldn't help notice all of the greasy cobwebs on the high ceilings and on some of the art. It's been here for a while - people like it, but you notice. (I think it's hard to reach & clean those areas) The chairs aren't very comfortable, but maybe that's just because it was so cold in here today. BATHROOM Serviceable.
