    Hot and sour soup
    Mark F.

    This has become our go to Chinese spot in Scotts Valley! The new owners have taken this place up a notch. They are friendly and the food is very good. Besides Chinese they also have Pho and my Vietnamese wife loves it! We usually stop in for lunch. The lunch plates are not huge but they are enough food to where your not carrying out any leftovers. Soup and egg rolls are options that each add to the price. Dinner portions are also very small. Not as good a value as some other places so minus one star. I really like the Mongolian beef with fried rice. The beef is pretty sweet and not spicy at all but super tasty! It has a nice crunch from the addition of bamboo shoots... The rice has a Vietnamese flair to it, it's like "broken" fried rice! (Good broken, haha) As I mentioned they have Pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup. My wife always gets the combo that has meat balls and thin sliced beef. I always sneak a taste and it's quite good. The meat balls have a satisfying texture and the broth is very flavourful. Give these guys a try!

    Hot Sour Soup...they could do better.

    If you live in Scotts Valley you know you have choices for Chinese food. I believe this place has transitioned under two different management/owners in the recent past. Unfortunately, that transition has damaged the taste and quality of food. For example: their lunch specials. They will up charge you a $1.00 for rice (plain white rice) which usually, if you have ordered lunch specials before, comes with the main meal choice. I understand about up charging for soup or an egg roll but come on guys, up charging for "rice" on your lunch special? I went ahead and ordered the rice because what was I going to eat with my broccoli beef? If you go down the street to Chef Liu, the lunch special say $8.95, you get a complete lunch which includes the white rice and a soup. I also tried the Hot Sour Soup (add another buck) - seriously, this was so watery and barely had any tofu etc. They should stop with the nickle and diming - just create a price that includes a complete lunch. Rice and main entree for $8.95 or $9.95. Simple. Oh, one more note. Bring back the original recipe for the Chinese Chicken Salad which ABC Chinese restaurant in Scotts Valley was very popular and delicious.

    Food is great as well as ambiance. Service a little to be desired. Rate at a 3. That's why a 4 not a 5

    Although not a Vietnamese restaurant, the pho is actually excellent. The service and ambience are great as well.

    Does the Wanton contain meat?

    Yes, I believe it's ground pork. Unless you are referring to the fried wonton which has no filling, just fried wonton wrapper

    My husband and I live in Santa Cruz and finally gave it a try. I was a little apprehensive at first…read moreone because of mixed Yelp reviews, two because the exterior signs suggested it's both a pho house and Mexican spot, and also because the inside was empty on this Friday night around 6:30. We decided to give it a try and are now so happy we did. I got the veggie pho and my husband got the rare steak, meat ball, tendon pho. The veggie pho included tofu, mushrooms, bok choy and green onion, as well as a healthy portion of noodles. The full-bodied broth was absolutely delicious (I did add the accompanying spice from time to time). My husband was super happy with the bowl he had too. I haven't seen him get so excited since he last had pho in Seattle. The service was also wonderful. The younger cashier that took our order, brought us water and served our bowls of pho was super friendly and attentive. Additionally, my husband initially planned to order the vegetarian pho with meatballs added. The cook (possibly owner) came out to ensure that's what he wanted. He instead recommended the dish my husband ended up ordering and commented that it would cost us a little less money as well. I felt that said a lot about the establishment and its workers. The restaurant was clean and really large. I noticed some coming in for pick up orders but my husband and I were the only ones dining in at the time. I was sad thinking about all the restaurants that came before it in that exact space that eventually closed. Given the great service and delicious pho (best I've had in Santa Cruz), I highly recommend trying it out. This spot deserves our business!

The fillings were fresh and well-balanced, with pickled veggies adding a nice tang and herbs keeping everything bright. It's not about a loud crunch here--it's more of a smooth, easy-eating kind of sandwich that still delivers on flavor. Service was friendly and the space was clean, making it a great spot for larger groups. I'm already looking forward to coming back to try the pho next.

Arrived at 5:25 PM on a Tuesday night with no tables available upon arrival, so we opted ordered takeout: pad see ewe, pumpkin curry, and fresh spring rolls. Rica took the order, estimating 20-25 minutes; we left at 5:46 PM and returned at 6:07 PM. Phnom asked for my name to check on our food at 6:12pm but never got back to us. Checking in again at 6:23 PM, Rica said the noodles and curry were ready, just waiting on spring rolls. At 6:40 PM, I asked Phnom to just cancel the rolls and refund the tip. He gave a receipt saying it was removed, but no, only the spring rolls had been removed, the tip was still there. (Why did I tip on takeout before receiving my food?) Going back led to confusion, with manager Mo first accusing non-payment despite Rica confirming the original order from over an hour earlier. Phnom had refunded the full bill by accident; Mo apologized, comped the two mains, and said no need to repay. Never got the spring rolls. Key Strengths: - Mo stepped up with accountability. Areas for Improvement: - Walk-in takeout took over 75 minutes while dine-in got priority. - Fix tip refunds and accuracy, other reviews mention similar slips. - Improve communication between staff and kitchen on apps like spring rolls. - Train staff like Phnom and Rica to actually service customers rather than repeating sorry and giving a fake smile while not doing anything. Recommendation: Try Thai Heart nearby instead.
