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.

Sui mai

When you walk in, the place is fairly casual and open. The options at this place hit a lot of cravings and in a very good way! If I'm craving dumplings, their sui mai and juicy pork dumplings hit the spot. Want noodles? Love their pad thai (just the right amount of sweet and spice) and Hong Kong style noodles. Service is consistent. It can get pretty busy and the staff can be stretched thin. Often times, I hear folks ask the food server so they can order but they're told it's the waiter who will be taking their order. The staff themselves are nice, just busy. The food is worth the wait though!

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

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

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.

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

Orange Chicken Lunch Special, Chinese Eggplant Lunch Special
Huber O.

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!!!

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!

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.

Coming all the way from Northern Nevada, my husband and I had one mission while our San Diego trip:…read morefind fish tacos. We absolutely lucked out with this place! We walked in on a bustling Friday afternoon and were instantly hit with good energy. The decor is vibrant, fun, and modern--bright colors, beautiful mural-painted walls, and marbled blue floors that have a coastal vibe. The menu had a great variety of both land and sea options, ranging from birria tacos and shrimp cocktails to fresh ceviche. Here is what we down. I ordered one shrimp taco and one fish taco. Husband ordered the fish taco plate, with well-seasoned rice and beans. Our meal hit the SPOT. The fish and shrimp were freshly fried to order in a delicious, crispy batter that wasn't overpowering the seafood. Also, they feature a green salsa packed with chunks of onion and jalapeño, alongside a traditional creamy fish taco sauce. That fish taco sauce is FIRE. It packs a much bigger spicy punch than the watered-down sauces you usually get at most restaurants, and it was delicious! If you are in the area, this is a must-stop. We will 100% be back the next time we visit San Diego!

The batter-to-filling ratio was spot-on, with just the right amount of crunch without feeling heavy. And the fries deserve a shoutout too! Well-seasoned, golden, and crunchy without being greasy -- exactly how fries should be. The prices are pretty reasonable, especially for the portions. We got 6 fish tacos, 6 shrimp tacos, 1 carne asada burrito, 3 birria tacos, and 3 drinks for $84.54. Not bad at all! The atmosphere is very casual, and most of the staff work behind the counter. The tables could use a little more attention between customers, but nothing a few napkins and a quick wipe-down can't handle. If you're looking for fancy ambiance, this probably isn't the place. But if good food at a reasonable price is what matters, definitely give it a try. They also have daily lunch specials from $6.99-$8.99, which is a serious win these days. Hard to complain about that!

I'd like to preface this review saying when I can give them another try the review may go up to at…read moreleast 4*, but based on the first dining experience, a 3 might be generous, which I'll explain below. 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.

The plump shrimp was very tasty, and the soup a superior rendition of Manhattan Clam Chowder. Complimentary fresh-baked Sourdough Bread and butter were slow to arrive at our table, but when they did, the bread was excellent and addictive as usual. My brother polished off the majority of the Coconut Shrimp, and Diane liked her Yaki Butterfish, which was a form of Black Cod anointed with Teriyaki Sauce. I decided to splurge on Alaskan King Crab Legs, which are sold here at Market Price. It was $125 for 1 pound on the day I visited. This is still a good price compared with the Las Vegas prices I am used to. Two tools were provided to disassemble the crab legs, but they were enough to get the job done. Served with Drawn Butter, the King Crab Legs were sweet and divine, with a medley of garden vegetables and Cheese Potatoes as suitable accompaniments. And the portion of crustacean I received appeared to be bigger than 1 pound. I happily gave away some big morsels of crab legs to my brother and Diane (making them happy as well), and still had plenty of crab left for me. Service by Nicole O was commendable, and table seating comfortable in the large dining room. I expect to return soon, and add a dinner salad to whatever entree of several fine ones offered here that I choose.

It had a really rich beef flavor and wasn't dry at all. My only complaint was that the lengua still had some of the outer skin attached. The texture honestly gave me a little bit of goosebumps while eating it . I really wish they had removed it completely. Other than that, the lengua itself was delicious. Great flavor, generous portions, and a very satisfying lunch for the price.
