    Fresh and tasty local fish!

    Amazing Chinese restaurant in Oakdale! Unexpected high quality authentic Chinese food in a small town. Friendly service and family operated, highly recommend.

    Garlic String Beans and Beef Chow Fun with Black Bean

    Delicious Hong Kong style food!! Inviting and comfortable and incredible staff! Tommy is a gem! He welcomed us right in and made us feel like old friends! He explained the menu answered all questions and we ended up with a meal that suited us perfectly! We stopped in by a lark on our way to Sonora and we liked it so much we had to stop again for lunch on our way home a couple days later. Definitely worth our stop!

    Mmmmm - this food hit the spot! Stopped by for a latish lunch - our server was so friendly and had a great sense of humor, he made a due note of our vegan order and kept up the lively chatter with us and other customers as we waited for our food to arrive in the cozy dining area. We tried the vegetarian sizzling rice soup with the rice crispies which totally hit the spot on the collllld foggy afternoon. We also enjoyed the other dishes - ma po tofu, vegan fried rice and garlic string beans! What a lovely discovery!! We even asked the server if they could open a branch in our town!!

    One of the best spots in Oakdale for Chinese food! The food is delicious! It's fresh meat and great portions at a fair price!

    delicious Singapore style rice noodle, so satisfying

    Excellent, the food is excellent and service is great..I was hungry and thirsty, they serve me hot soup and delicious Singapore style rice noodle, so satisfying

    vegetable spring roll

    Food was hot and delicious. Service was fast and wonderful. Restaurant was clean and comfortable. I ordered lunch special beef with vegetables, chicken chow mein, chicken fried rice, it also came with a cup of egg flour soup, and a spring roll. I also ordered a recommended secret menu dish called Singapore rice noodle dish. It has beef, chicken, shrimp, pork, eggs, really thin noodles, crispy vegetables. It was absolutely delicious and after I tasted it, I couldn't go back to anything else I ordered. It's not on the menu. You have to ask for it. I'm posting pictures. I found it because someone else posted a picture of it and I went to the restaurant just for this dish and I showed him the picture and he told me what it was. I highly recommend you ask for it and try it. It was $15.49 I believe..

    It's American Chinese menu, not authentic Chinese. Basing it on this fact. Great service. Quick with the food. I'm giving this 5 stars because for American Chinese food, the flavors are great. We are Chinese, and we were coming down from Yosemite. We asked the server what was good and he was super honest saying nothing really "authentically Chinese," so we got garlic string beans, salt and pepper shrimp and Hong Kong Chow fun. I have to say, the string beans and shrimp flavors were on point. Server cautioned us that the shrimps did not come with shells (Chinese like shrimps with shells), but we were ok with that. Seasoning and the crispness were perfect. Would stop here again if we pass by.

    Orange chicken was perfect!!

My sister got steamed veggies so I stole some of hers and they were steamed to perfection! Delicious bok choy, broccoli, mushrooms and carrots. I ate my own steamed broccoli but was not a huge fan of the chicken. And that's only because it's thighs and not breasts, and I don't like the texture of chicken thighs. I ate a few bites and it was good, but I just didn't like the texture . But if you like chicken thighs, then you would like this. Now for the egg flower soup!! So good! Lacking a bit on the egg but full of broccoli, carrots, peas, onions and celery. I devoured the small cup they gave me and saved the big cup for leftovers. Very good!! Their hot and sour soup here is delicious as well. I was happy and very full, but still ate that fortune cookie . Lots of leftovers!!!! Huge portions! My sister picked the food up so I have no idea what the inside looks like or how their customer service is. But they were nice on the phone when I called about making food substitutions prior in the week.

    I ordered the dinner combo and it was good. There were a lot of foods for 1 person to eat. I would…read morerecommend this restaurant when you are craving for Chinese foods in Oakdale.

Felt like my grandmother's old saying that they roll up the sidewalks after 8 PM on a Sunday night. Beyond Taquerias, a couple of hamburger drive-ins that were still open, we found this Chinese restaurant. We arrived 30 minutes before closing, and they were definitely not happy to see us, but they were willing to serve us. We got the Hunan Villa's dinner which came with a Pupu plate and your choice of soup and your choice of entrée. We ordered the dinner for two as the Babes only grazes. They gave us settings for three, including for the soup without having to be asked. Both the Hubbs and the babes had fun with the Pupu platter. I was more tired than hungry, but ended up enjoying the food. It had that old school greasy spoon American Chinese flavor that I've been missing. The food isn't fancy, but it's plentiful and tasty and reminded me of the Chinese restaurants when I was a kid. The Hubbs chose Mongolian beef and we got tons of beef and I chose the honey walnut prawns and they gave us at least 20 prawns. The portion sizes were huge. I was expecting that they had provided food for three but when we got our check, they charged us the dinner for two. We took home the leftovers and there was enough food for two additional meals. Forgot to take additional pictures and the total came out to about $42. I had $60 on me in cash and left that to cover the tab and tip, since they stayed open late for us. Definition of cheap eats and we will definitely be back the next time we go to the reservoir.
