    Inside of the restaurant with updated prices!

    This place is literally a hole in the wall...was looking for some Chinese food that was not Panda Express and I stumbled upon this place. The restaurant is nestled downtown across the public parking and literally down the street from the theater. This is not a fancy restaurant as it's more catered for to go orders...however there is seating inside. The food is displayed in trays and you choose as you order. The food is made fresh and if they run out, the cook in the back is making a new batch... The portions are HUGE!!!! You get what you paid for!! See the photos! If you want some good Chinese food go here...FYI: the fried pepper and salt pork chops were GOOOOOOOOD! A MUST TRY!

    This place does not get enough chatter. I almost hesitate to recommend it just because it seems like a hidden gem but it is outstanding! It's a small place with friendly staff. The food is hot (temperature), portions are HUGE, and delicious! The value for the price is spot on. Absolutely worth trying perhaps (totally is) the best Chinese food in town. Competes with Chinese food in the Bay.

    1 side chow mein and rice and 2 entree.  Spicy pork. But the fried pork chicken top right in the picture I didn't like the soy base flavor

    The food I ordered tastes wired and not fresh. Very oily, I would not recommend and probably wouldn't go back.

    We tried a local gem--Gourmet Kitchen, hands down, the best Chinese food in town. With Chinese…read morecuisine, it's all about the sauce, and they absolutely got it right. We ordered cashew shrimp, Mongolian beef, chow mein, and potstickers, and every single dish was delicious. My husband couldn't stop raving about the sauce on the Kung Pao shrimp. It's a small, unassuming spot near Marshall's, but don't let that fool you--go in and order the food. It's so good. The owners are incredibly kind and genuinely want you to enjoy their food. We had a really nice conversation with the owner, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we'll definitely be back. I wish I had taken photos of our dishes. Next time, for sure!

    Visited August 17th..see receipt…read more I came in to order their shrimp with nuts and noticed the price is now 22 dollars. Unfortunately it doesn't come with anything- not even rice! I decided to pass on it and just got some steamed rice. They are never crowded in there which is unfortunate because their fried rice alone is delectable! The man that waited on me turned two people away because the dish they were going to order he said had very little beef in it. His attitude was a bit of a turn off. Maybe he was just having a bad day! I doubt i will be back when i am in the area. Hopefully if they bring their prices down they will have more customers to stay competitive!

    Walked in from the foggy weather and ordered Home-made noodle soup. The broth had nice depth to it…read moreand enough bok coy , chicken, beef, shrimp etc. noodles was silky soft. . When I see Singapore chow mein on menu Is a plus. I love the curry spice & stir-fry noodle taste! Cordial staff- waited on me as a solo diner instantly. One thing I did notice was they didn't offer tea which is usually customary at Chinese restaurants. It's just an observation ( not a critique). Love all the original work of art on the walls. I felt like I was in someone's tasteful livingroom. Looking forward to returning after another hike in Auburn.

    FOOD - Walnut Shrimp: battered shrimp with candied walnuts…read moreover broccoli. The shrimp wasn't crunchy enough. Walnut shrimp is my go-to when I have Chinese food so I'm a little bit of a walnut shrimp snob. This was pretty mid. 3.5/5 - Mongolian Beef: beef with onions, red bell peppers, and bok choy. The flavor was pretty good. The beef was tender enough. 3.75/5 - Orange Chicken combo: orange chicken with chow mein, and egg roll. The chicken wasn't dry but not very tender either. The flavor was okay. The chow mein and vegetable egg roll were pretty standard. 3.5/5 - Fried Rice and 4 Dumpling set combo: the fried rice was, also, pretty standard. The pork dumplings were pretty good. The side of wonton soup was good. 3.75/5 SERVICE: Service was pretty fast and friendly. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: Everything was okay. Nothing was bad, just nothing to write home about.
