Came from AT&T and we saw PICK UP STICK like 2 doors down from where we at. I remembered they had good Wonton soup, we used to get it a few years back so we are curious if they still have them. The moment we came in we saw it right away that it's still on their menu. We decided to dine in instead of ordering to go since it's been a while since we last been to this place. I ordered the WONTON SOUP LARGE and my Son got the HOUSE SPECIAL CHICKEN WINGS. Wonton soup still tastes the same the way we like it, simple and tasty broth and filling. The House Sticky Chicken wings, this has a Sweet tangy Chicken wings and it is sure its sticky in the hand when eating them. It also includes noodles and fried wontons , good enough portion and tasted just okay . Great staff and service. read more

Ended up here after finding out Taco Bell in the same complex is closed The staff 5 stars The cleanliness 5 stars The food 1 star. The orange chicken was mostly breading. When there was chicken it was gristly. The was a weird after taste. The rice was bland. The rice to entree was off. It's not the staffs fault. This is the food they are sent. Corporate definitely cutting corners to save money. Again the staff were awesome. Polite, helpful, hard working Lot parking read more

I came in 12/30/25 and really like the restaurant clean, open lay out and enjoy the service. The guys are all friendly and sweet. I ordered the house special chicken. It was good if it wasn't so sweet. I brought it home stir frying it again with some soy sauce, I couldn't mask the sweetness. It is the sweetest chinese dish I've ever had. And I am not writing this review to complain. As a customer that wants to come back and try other dishes, maybe this particular day was off, I thought you would appreciate the input. Aside from the sweetness, the chicken is fresh and tasty. read more

As always, excellent food!! What made our visit exceptional was the excellent service we received from Juan C. at the Mission Valley Pick Up Stix. Juan greeted us when we walked in, helped us with our order and delivered the food to the table when it was ready. Everything in the order was accurate, hot and delicious. We always stop at the Mission Valley PUS when we travel to Mexico by car and love the quality of food. We live in the SF Bay Area where there are no Pick Up Stix so this is always a treat. Until the next visit. read more

Had a concerning encounter with the staff. Ordered pickup through Uber Eats and went straight to the pickup counter, and never got acknowledged so just went in line as if we were going to order to let them know I was there to pickup. There were several folks working behind the counter. One of the guys was prepping our order, but then this other worker said to us "it's going to be 30 minutes." We were caught off guard since the guy was almost done packing our food but then he told us he was just kidding, so we laughed it off. Then he proceeds to tell his coworkers, "Yeah it's fun to tell uber eats and door dash drivers that their order is going to take an hour and watch their reaction." Probably not an appropriate thing to disclose especially in front of customers. He proceeds to say "i also do it to the ones that don't speak English and it's even funnier!" Like what... first of all, he's Asian. We're Asian. And he's telling this story to all people of color. Just lots of things wrong here. This took place on Tuesday 11/11/25 around 5:45pm. Do better. read more

This is my go-to quick meal on the go. The staff is always pleasant, I can get different veg (steamed or in a salad), and brown rice.

We ordered online ahead of time and went to eat in the dining room at the restaurant. The manager and staff at this location are always so efficient and friendly so for a fast service type of food it's refreshing to have good service. Tonight I ordered the Bourbon Chicken and my partner ordered the Garlic Chicken. I typically get the Firecracker Chicken but wanted to try something new. I'll probably go back to Firecracker next time though because the Bourbon Chicken, while good, doesn't have any spice. Entrees come with a nice portion of rice or chow mein. There is plenty of parking nearby as well. read more

Beef noodle soup - excellent flavor overall, including a strong broth and a nice, soft texture to the noodles. Out of the countless Chinese restaurants I've visited for beef noodle soup, this makes its way into the top three. 5/5 Lamb skewers - wayyyyy too dry. This is certainly not their specialty, and asking for extra cumin to sprinkle on the lamb did not redeem the firmness. I struggled to slide the meat off the skewer and ended up just eating it while still on the stick. 1.5/5 Fish fillet - so good. Easy to eat texture-wise. Caution -- a bit saltier than it looks. The bell peppers in particular were seasoned spectacularly. 4.5/5 Dry fried green beans - a delicious option for vegetables to add to the table. Most people will enjoy this one in my opinion. A bit more crunch than I expected, which is not a bad thing. 4/5 Double cooked pork - I've never seen it cooked this way, and am not a fan. I'm used to a more oily version of this dish. It contained a bunch of dried and crunchy... yams? Potatoes? Overall, the dish was mainly crunch with no flavor, and contained a relatively small amount of pork. 1/5

It can get pretty busy just got to put in some extra time in the neighborhood or streets for metered parking. Seating: Inside and outside seating. For inside, reservations are recommended. Room for about 50 people. Vibes: Welcome to North Park, a lot of eateries and bars to hop around. It's a pretty hip place with constant traffic. The spot itself is Retro Chinese-American aesthetic with a modern twist. Think red lighting, plants, and a playlist that keeps the energy up. It's one of those spots that feels trendy but still approachable--good for dates or catching up with friends. FOOD / DRINKS Mayo Walnut Shrimp (Recommend) This is one of their standout dishes--and for good reason. Crispy shrimp coated in that creamy, slightly sweet sauce with candied walnuts. It hits that crunchy + rich + sweet combo really well and is easily one of the safer bets on the menu. Green Beans (Recommend) Simple but solid. Good balance to the heavier shrimp--fresh, slightly savory/umami making it a nice side to round things out. Ginger Lemonade (Recommend) A refreshing sip with a nice bite of ginger. SERVICE Friendly and efficient, especially considering how busy it gets. Food comes out fairly quick once you're seated. TL;DR OVERALL 4 stars. Steady prices, good food, and good choices. Fun spot with strong vibes and solid Chinese-American comfort food. It leans more elevated takeout-style than traditional, but that's kind of the appeal. I've been to pretty good Chinese spots but this is a nice experience if you're looking for nice aesthetics and good food. TIPS * This is one of the Consortium Holdings (like Morning Glory) *They also serve food for next door (Polite Provisions)

After some search on Yelp, we decided to try Eastern Dinasty on Convoy Street.

The courteous waitress guided us to our table and brought the menu and water right away. For this visit, we ordered the following dishes: West Lake Minced Beef Soup: The portion was large enough for 6 people. The lightly starched broth was nicely seasoned with hint of white pepper. In the soup, there were bits of minced beef, chopped green onion, and stirred egg whites. The simplistic soup was warm, velvety, and pleasantly flavored. 3 Item BBQ Combo (House Special Chicken, Roasted Duck, and Pork Belly): The house special chicken was nicely steamed, lightly seasoned, and with beautiful gelatinous skin. The roasted duck pieces were plump, with crispy skin and succulent meat. The pork belly had crispy thick skin, and tender meat with nice rendered fat without being overly greasy. Walnut Shrimp: The portion was quite generous for the price. The lightly battered shrimps had a nice firm texture and were covered with mayonnaise and sprinkled with sweetened and crispy walnuts. What a beautiful blend of taste and aroma. Left the restaurant heart-warmed and extremely satisfied. Highly recommended.

Hidden in the Little Saigon area of City Heights, this humble eatery has stood the test of time thanks to loyal regulars, consistent great taste, and solid value for money. They specialize in Cantonese and Vietnamese-style noodles: classic wonton noodles, Vietnamese beef noodle soup, and Southeast Asian stir-fried noodles. Broths are slow-simmered with pork bones and dried flounder, paired with house-made thin egg noodles that have a nice springy texture and wheat aroma. Highly recommend the Sate Beef Rice Noodle, Sate Beef Tripe with Turnip Dry Noodles, and roast duck. Portions are generous, affordable, and the restaurant is clean and tidy. A top pick for noodle lovers!

I've been coming to this place since I first moved here over a decade ago. The owners changed a few…read moreyear ago. Sweet: even though ownership changed they still have the same servers that remember us even though we don't come as much as we used to. The menu for the most part is still the same. They still offer our favorite items such as the salty pork, honey walnut shrimp, chow Mein, house fried rice and wonton egg noodle soup. The restaurant has since new ownership is much cleaner inside. You can either make it family style or have one entree for yourself. One entree is plentiful for one person. Sour: our most recent experience there were some slight changes like the texture and taste of the salty pork. It seemed like it was cooked healthier as it wasn't nice and crispy as usual. The size of the dishes are still the same more on the small size but higher cost. The food is not quite the same as it used to be but it is still pretty good. Unfortunately I feel like SD lacks in the Chinese cuisine options but this place will probably remain a favorite Chinese option for my family for the time being.

TL;DR It's really good. Go here…read more -------------- I came here after a friend recommended it when I told them I was coming down to San Diego for a day trip during my spring break from school in Orange County. I was born and raised in LA, so I've had a lot of Chinese food growing up, and I wasn't expecting to be this surprised--but I really was. I ordered the black bean eggplant and the salt and pepper chicken wings. The wings are what they're known for, but I have to start with the eggplant because it completely caught me off guard. It wasn't mushy at all--crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and coated in sauce without losing its texture. Every bite had depth and balance, not just saltiness. I actually meant to start with the wings, but the eggplant was so good I ended up eating half of it before even getting to them. By that point I was already getting full, but I still made sure to finish the wings--and I'm honestly excited to take the rest of the eggplant home as leftovers. By the time I got to the wings, I understood why they're popular--crispy, flavorful, and super satisfying--but what stood out to me was how both dishes complemented each other. One rich and layered, the other crisp and bright. I never got tired of eating, which honestly says a lot. I even told the staff how much I enjoyed the food and they thought I was joking, but I meant every word in saying I thought it was comparable, if not better then the food I've had in Chinatown in LA. Really glad I came here and the next time I have a chance to come back down to SD I definitely will come back here and that's not negotiable for me

Stay away from this place, seriously do NOT believe the positive reviews. We ordered on a…read morerecommendation from other people and some goofball online. Well, let me tell you. This place is NOT worth the high rating it has. We ordered the Fried Green Beans, they were cooked in oil that was obviously not to temperature. Too greasy for consumption. To make it worse? They were drowned in salt! The Crispy Beef was nothing but thick dough with no beef inside. To add insult to injury it was BURNED so badly that all you could smell was burnt dough and taste burned dough. Hardly any sauce on it as well. The Shrimp Fried Rice should have just been plain white rice for how bland it was. The Vegetable Chow Mein literally was just a container of salt. Slim noodles and salt, disgusting! We spent so much money and all of this is going right into the garbage. Stay away from this hole! It should be shut down for trying to poison people. Feels like I am going to go blind from the amount of salt I ingested from only a few bites. Gross!!

The $19.99 AYCE on social media is deceiving…read more I took my mom here so we could try this new AYCE option this place was offering based on social media influencers. It was empty coming in around 5:30pm on a Friday, but it soon filled to capacity in the next hour. So coming into it, we thought we would choose between Menu A and Menu B. Afterwards, we thought it was AYCE on the menu of your choice + the side buffet where there are limited selections of sides and refrigerated drinks. We ordered orange chicken, Chinese style fish and something else. Again, this was on the thought that we could order more than one item on our selected menu. So imagine our surprise when the bill was nearly $100 for two people? It was a misunderstanding. However, the initial staff gentlemen was completely rude about it and ignored us as we sought to understand. Finally, a second female server came and heard our concerns regarding the false advertisement and unclear messaging. She was able to provide us the price we thought this was for based on Menu selection. All in all - I don't recommend the AYCE option. I think it would be important to make a distinction that AYCE clearly on the menu and at the front - AYCE means each individual selects ONE entree (which is a one small portion) and the AYCE component of the deal is ONLY for the side buffet.

The green onion pancake was crispy and golden on the outside with flaky, layered bites.The sweet corn with chili dumplings had that perfect balance- slightly sweet, a little heat, and super juicy filling. The green pepper with corn dumplings had a light crunch and savory flavor. The standout for me was the Beijing zhajiang noodles. That was probably my favorite. Noodles were perfection. The owner was kind. You can tell it's a family-run spot, especially with the sweetest little girl helping out, which made the whole experience feel even more genuine and homey. We were seated in about 20 minutes, which honestly isn't bad at all. Free parking lot. Will be back soon.

Came for Mother's Day. It's in a nice little shopping center. There's a good amount of parking, but…read morethe restaurant itself is quite small. So there is a line that lines up quickly and hopefully hopefully you get a seat. I don't think the biggest table can be more than four people. There's also a kiosk where you can order to go. The menu is very simple. I feel like the dumplings are actually a great price for how many pieces you get. Service was fine. The food was good but nothing solid out to us, I could taste the freshness in the dumplings but maybe because they're boiled, they were a bit bland to us. Definitely needed the sauce with it. Maybe we will be back to try something different. Overall 3/5 for the dishes we ordered that evening
