    Solid hole in the wall place near UCR. Came here for Saturday lunch and it was not too busy. Service was good and good came quick. Plenty of parking in the strip mall. The menu was pretty big so it's definitely easy to get lost in it. We stuck with the traditional menu and ordered T-24 beef, T-34 fish, T-38 chicken, house chow fun, and xlb. All were pretty good. The beef had some pieces that appeared to be raw and there was a bit too much onions compared to beef. The chicken dish could've had a bit more chicken. My favorite was surprisingly the chow fun. Would I come back? Absolutely!

    I've been here a few times now and really like this spot! They have authentic Chinese food that I have to say is pretty high quality. Their standout dishes are the chow fun, chongqing chicken, Mongolian beef and their cumin lamb. All of these dishes were great, but fair warning some of their spicy dishes can get pretty spicy, Service has been good both for dining inside and online pick up order. Restaurant is a pretty big space and is nicely decorated and clean. As others have mentioned though, it's not the safest plaza, plenty of homeless and some interesting things going on here and there. There is a good amount of parking though. Only downside I have is that the menu is not the best organized so you can easily make the wrong order as they have a lot of similar dishes in completely different sections of the menu. Some of their beef we got was on the rare side as well. Still a great Chinese food option close to UCR!

    Came here on the Saturday evening of Labor Day weekend with 2 friends for dinner, after seeing a reel for it on IG. Plenty of parking - location is close to UCR. Note this isn't the safest plaza - lots of homeless and sketchy people wandering around. Interior ambiance was pretty clean and spacious though. We ordered the Mushroom Chicken (my friend's dish alone) and my other friend and I shared the T10. Bullfrog with Perilla in Stone Pot and Special Lamb Offal Soup. We originally wanted to order the Stir fried lamb, but was told that they're out of that entire menu page and they only had one item - Braised Beef Noodle Soup on that page available. That was really stupid, they should've covered up that whole page then. Service - eh it was alright. The menu thing was bad. They also didn't speak English well and struggled to communicate to us something about water chestnuts on the mushroom chicken dish for my friend. This place was alright, not bad. Worth checking out if you're around UCR and in the mood to try authentic Chinese food.

    Food is really great they have such big selection to choose from. Everyone is really nice and portions are huge for the price

    Saw the flags waving above the restaurant sign had to come in and try it out. On the other side of the tracks more urban area. Looks like a small shop from the outside but inside is a large space with modern decor. Booths are spacious with lots of elbow room to spread out. Large party tables available with lazy susan serving tray. Menu is easy to navigate, well organized. Bottled beverage selections viewable in fridge by tables. Fresh dumplings being made can be seen behind the counter in back. Service was welcoming and attentive, prompt taking our order but it did take a while for our order to reach our table. Understandable with the busy evening of dine in guest and take out orders zooming by. Food was good, big portions great for sharing family style. Chili oil and sirriacha available on tables. Parking lot in front

    Mapo Tofu
    Adam C.

    I decided to give this spot a try, since it was new. I got take out, and tried two different types of dishes here that I thought might be good. I'm a big fan of mapo tofu, and the one here is good. I found it to be enjoyable, with a good mix of Sichuan peppercorn numbing spice and flavor. I'd get that dish again. The Thai style tofu and broccoli chow fun was mediocre at best. It was really lacking in flavor, and the overall consistency didn't seem like this was stir fried or much sauce was used. The flat rice noodles were all basically still white. I would not recommend this dish at all. Looking at their menu, I think it's honestly way too extensive. Most food establishments that have massive menus like this really tend to suffer with some dishes. I think that holds true here. If you'd like to give this spot a try, I would recommend sticking with dishes that are popular. The price point is good, for the amount of food I got, but I'd recommend this restaurant slim down their menu and offer better quality for the options that remain.

    Amazing to have a truly authentic Chinese restaurant in Riverside. I'm highlighting their spicy, hot-oil Chinese food here that isn't the typical Americanized, Western-Cantonese, although they do offer these dishes, too. The lunch specials look like classic Americanized Chinese, but they are affordable and most folks will probably love those too. I'm particularly excited by the beef roll pancake, cold beef tendon with chili oil, steamed pork belly with preserved vegetables, chili oil cold chicken, deep fried Szcehuan peppercorn chicken - these are dishes most of which I haven't been able to get in Riverside city. The restaurant manager was very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant interior has the feel of a restaurant in mainland China. It really is setup for authenticity. I shared a few photos of the food. We loved it.

    The food here is truly authentic and full of flavor! The seasoning is so good that you'll say "mmm" from the very first bite. Every dish is packed with flavor, and the portion sizes are really good for the price. If you're looking for a dupe for Din Tai Fung, you HAVE to try this place! Honestly, I think it's even better. They have a bigger variety of dishes to choose from, and everything I've tried has been absolutely delicious. There's so much more to order, so you definitely won't get bored with the menu. The customer service is also top tier from every employee, especially Michael! Every time I come in, he's always so welcoming, kind, and friendly. He really makes you feel welcomed every time you visit. Overall, amazing food, great portions, and excellent service. I'll definitely keep coming back!

    Great food and great service. They need to secure the booths, they almost took my aunt out.

    This is my second time coming here. The food is delicious, they are pretty attentive if the restuarant is not full (it usually is during popular hours), and it is very welcoming. I'm excited to come here more and more, the food is to die for and the portions are extremely generous. The boba wasn't too good but the milk tea istself is very tatsy. Immediate 5 stars from me!

    108.55. Vegetable Egg Foo Young 115. Singapore Rice Noodles
    Courtney G.

    This was the absolute best egg foo young and Singapore rice noodles I have ever had in the IE!!! I am so happy this place is down the street from me! It is everything I've been searching for authentic good Chinese that is affordable. The menu is insane with the options that you can get. I got the vegetable egg foo young. It has the dark gravy you've been looking for! I'd encourage you to order extra gravy. It comes with white rice. And the Singapore noodles are the perfect level of spicy both the shrimp and the chicken in it are seasoned deliciously and they don't skimp on the noodles like some places. The only issue is you currently are unable to get the rice or the noodles on any of the platforms (I've called, we are working on it) so you just have to go get takeout from the restaurant or dine in and make it a date night with yourself or anybody of your choosing! Trust me it's worth it also last time I had the honey walnut shrimp and it was also a spectacular. If you've been looking for egg foo young look no further I will include my takeout photos from this order, but I encourage you to go in!!!

    Juicy pork dumplings

    Inside is very clean and very nice. You can see a worker beyond a thick piece of glass toward the back of the dinning room hand rolling and preparing the dumplings you are ordering so you know they are absolutely made fresh. Employees were very quick and attentive as well. The food i ordered while dinning in was so good i ordered a thing of Sesame beef to go! Will definitely be coming back in the future.

    New Chinese restaurant in town off of Chicago Ave and University Ave (next to Dollar Tree)! Came with no expectations. Ordered items that were recommended by the waitress. The food was mild, not too salty or greasy--perfect and easy on the palate for a first meal of the day. It was fairly busy for a Sunday mid-morning. Looks like a lot of people come for the daily lunch specials (available on weekends too!). Super spacious with lots of room for seating. Best of all, their dumplings are housemade! Will definitely be back to try more traditional Chinese dishes.

Our entire family grieved the loss of one of the best dim sum and Chinese cuisine restaurants in the Riverside area. But lately, there was a lot of talk, good talk, that the same owner had reopened here, a tinier bistro setting, not as flashy interior. So here we are, finally, late to the party, but sublimely happy. First things first. An order of their siu mai. Still just as plump, with their signature, wonderful pork- shrimp filling, my taste buds let out a big sigh of relief. I've had to endure some pretty horrible ones from other restaurants lately. Big Skyy's is superb. Next, the black bean pork ribs. Wonderful, just as we remembered. A healthy portion, plenty of meat in spite of the bones. Great gravy. Finally, the eggplant with beef. This one was extra special, made with generous amounts of filet mignon, eggplant cut in spears, cooked in a salty sweet garlic sauce that is very special. It was melt-in-your-mouth, swoon worthy. One of my favorites. They still accommodate large family groups, a few big round tables for 6 or more. The staff was very friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. They feature the same marvelous menu and the same chef who creates those traditional Chinese dishes with pizzazz. It's wonderful to re-acquaint ourselves with an old "friend". It's even better to know, the important things we remembered have not changed a bit. You would be right to assume we will be back!

The restaurant itself is super spacious, and since we came at kind of an odd time after the lunch rush, it was really calm and relaxing inside. We ordered the Salt and Pepper Calamari, and it was really good. The calamari was crispy, lightly seasoned, and still tender inside, which made it super satisfying to eat. I do wish it came with a dipping sauce, but we already had sweet and sour sauce on the table and ended up using that instead, which actually paired really well with it. We also got the Chicken Pad Thai, which honestly impressed me a lot. The portion size was huge for the price, I think it was around $12-13, which felt really worth it for how much food we got. The noodles were flavorful, well cooked, and had a good balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors without feeling too heavy. The people working there were really welcoming and kind, and it felt like a family-run restaurant, which made the experience feel even more comforting and homey.

This saucey dish comes in a styrofoam container with a bag slid over but it leaked out every where with any movement. Sauced dishes should come in sealable containers. This is the standard. And, the beef and snow peas were tasteless. I added hot sauce and the soy sauce they gave me and it is still not enough to save this dish. While waited they brought me water and fried noodles with sweet sauce. This is a nice touch. They also gave an almond cookie. The AC was cold and comfortable in the restaurant. I want to like it here but the food is not flavorful enough for me. And the food taste is the most important thing so I don't think this is for me. Also the soy sauce packet is terrible. And has corn syrup.

Arrived around 1:15 pm and there was a long line so for me, this is an either a good sign or people are just hungry and there's no other choice. Signed up on their waiting list and waiting for about 30 mins before we got a table. IT WAS WORTH EVERY SECOND!! This is what we ordered: 1. XLB - 10/10 - freshly made, soup was very tasty, the filling was very flavorful. It gave DTF a run for their money. No need for ginger. Dip this in some chili oil and soy sauce and you're in for a treat! 2. Pork shiumai - 6/10 - it was good but not the best I've had. My least fave. 3. Schezuan eggplant - 11/10 - the best schezuan eggplant dish I've had. Fresh off from the wok so be careful eating this coz it is temperature hot. The flavor was full of umami, sweet, salty, and that sauce is heavenly!! 4. Cucumber salad - 10/10. Love the crispiness and garlic flavor of this app. Liked the addition of cilantro. 5. Garlic string beans - another 11/10 - it was a full plate of this all time fave of ours. Cooked to perfection!! Again a little touch of some salted black beans that added more umami flavor. 6. Dan Dan noodles - 10/10 - I'm a big fan of DD noodles and this was delish!! Love the freshness of the noodles and right balance of ground meat and flavor was spot on!! 7.

First, I arrived shortly after they opened on a Tuesday, which is important to highlight because they're closed on Mondays, and I suspect one dish I tried had the texture of leftovers (from the weekend). Part of me wants to try again later in the week, and day to see if this was a fluke. What I ordered was a rice bowl with braised pork belly and daily vegetables. Everything was good except the pork was dry and tough, clearly not braised that day or heated all the way through. I forget what my first choice was, but it wasn't available that day. My other item was the wonton soup, which also disappointed me for a few reasons. Portion size is good, but the broth tasted really thin, watery, and the wontons were overcooked and falling apart. The cause was they were forgotten about and the pot boiled over. Generally, you cook these below the boil to prevent the cloudy mess from disintegrating skins. The filling tasted fine, but again, overall flavors and balance was marred. I did, however, enjoy the lenon tea that comes with every combination meal. And, the employees are very nice, but the food didn't make the cut. They have a big menu and I've seen the skewers and hot pots in action so I know there's potential.
