    Food is always amazing. Cute little shop with great customer service. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

    I have heard rumors about how tasty the food was at Boba House. I thought it was just Boba. Wrong. "Don't forget to order a chicken bowl," they said. Really?I ok. So I did, only I didn't order a bowl. I ordered a FEAST: Broccoli Chicken. Beef Lo Mein. Shrimp Kung Pao. Mongolian Beef. All A LA CARTE SIZE with steamed rice on the side. These are VERY nice portions. HUGE portions ok. I love it. The smell was intoxicating. I waited 12-15 minutes. No problem. When it comes to food, you want to wait a bit - not too fast or it's suspect, - not too slow or you think twice about going back. The food is delicious. I measure every Chinese Food restaurant with my favorite dish: MONGOLIAN BEEF. This place is good, really good. The MG is SPICY! Just the way I like it though it's usually just sweet elsewhere. So why not 5 stars? Hmmm. Two small reasons. This place is small so you can't bring a big group here. It's meant more for to-go than to eat your feast there. AND...I don't like styrofoam. Call me crazy, but it matters, at least to me. So now I know what BH is all about. Do you???

    What a hidden GEM!!!!! First, the owner was so incredibly kind and welcoming!! Sold us on extra pot stickers just with her kindness! Deffinitely a locals sport/hidden gem. If your in the area, swing by for some DELICOUS food!

    The food here was pretty good, we ordered Kung Pao bowl with fried rice, it was spicy enough for my taste, the chicken was tender, then had orange chicken bowl, usually we've had the chicken coated with flour and deep fried but this wasn't, so it was a little different but tasty. And we ordered fried shrimp, this was real good with their shrimp sweet sauce which was real good, next time I'll ask for 2 containers of this sauce. Customer service is good, they came out right away to greet, next time I'll order their lo mein.

    I've never been disappointed here! Even the customer service exceeds my expectations. They are genuinely nice. On my visit 02/27/2022 I placed an order to-go, was told it would be ready in 15 minutes so I went outside to wait in my car and put the timer on my phone. I was going to go back in, but at about 10 minutes the owner brought my order out to my car. That was so nice of her and I totally didn't expect it. I also like that they just give you the food in their supplier boxes instead of bags, you can use it as a tray while eating in the car and it feels less wasteful because they're repurposing what they already have from their supply orders. The menu is clear and straight-forward. They have bowl and plate options for the same dishes. The food is tasty, and I do prefer this place over other local asian food take-out restaurants. I believe it is a family-run business as I never really see employees aside from the owners, so please support and be kind :).

    Usually service and food are very good. This trip was horrible. Not sure if it's Covid and they are just over whelmed or what but they are a hot mess. Called in order. They said 40 min. I said never mind can't wait. She said oh no your order is small so 20 min. I said are you sure??? Still waiting and been over an hour I went back in to check and they hadn't even started on it. Ridiculous!!!! Just so busy so worried they are going to miss out on the money. Probably won't be back for a while

    Coming in!

    Never really tried anything else but the combination fried rice. Extra spicy! Very small establishment with limited seating. Customer service is very good! Very underrated! Probably the best combination fried rice in Santa Maria!!!! Yeah I said that!

We were promptly greeted upon entering and directed to our requested booth. We chose their buffet which, at around 12 noon on a Wednesday, is $16.45 per person. There is no senior discount (at least not posted). Buffet is a nice size with a variety of common dishes like orange chicken, kung pao chicken, chow menu, sweet and sour pork, pot stickers, egg rolls, and mushroom chicken. My favorites were the tangerine beef and, orange chicken, and green beans. There was also a dessert section with soft serve and assorted cookies, cakes, and fruit. Staff was welcoming and friendly and bussed our table often. Ambiance is simple and fine. Their buffet is a great value and I'll definitely be back when I have a craving for Chinese food especially if ,I'm really hungry like this time.

We were walked to our booth and asked what we wanted to drink. We asked for a coke and Diet Coke. We were brought a coke and a sprite. 10 minutes later he took the sprite back and switched it out with the correct drink I asked. I was surprised that they used styrofoam plates...making so much waste. The buffet was...odd. Random Chinese food with American food and taquitos. The food didn't have proper name plates for them so it was kind of a guessing game, and the ones that did weren't even labeled correctly. The food was okay. Not the best Chinese food I've had. They were all cold by the time I went back to my booth. They had steamed bao buns with NOTHING in it. It was just the bun. The only good thing there was the sesame balls. The sushi bar seemed sketch, so I didn't get the sashimi. They had a kid probably 10 years old, working at the sushi bar, playing on his iPad. Is that even legal? It was just so random and all over the place. Random stars on the walls and in the bathroom. I won't come back and I won't recommend this place to anyone. I should have read the reviews before I came here. Not worth $23.
