I was pretty hungry so I ordered the Mongolian beef. It was tasty, but the meat could've been a little more tender. I had a bite of my friend's kung pao chow mein, and I think I might have to order that for myself next time. That was insanely good! It's the type had a nice amount of spice and a good chicken to chow mein ratio.

The chow mein smelled like throw up as soon as we opened the container, and tasted the same. It was immediately thrown out. The orange chicken was yellow, bland, and drier than the turkey on Christmas Vacation. The Spicy Kung Pao Beef had zero flavor besides "spicy". The meat itself looked like it was boiled - pale and tough as leather. The fried rice would have been perfect for day old stir fry - not for a fresh meal. Not sure what happened to this place as this used to be a go-to staple in our family. Definitely gone downhill.

I ordered my favorite Rice Bowl Special Beef Dinner. If you love beef broccoli yet would like it spicier, try out the Rice Bowl Special Beef. I always order my chow mein Cantonese style & highly recommend. Fried rice is always delicious and the fried shrimp dipped in hot mustard is perfection! We also tried the Walnut shrimp (comes with white rice) was perfection! The perfect bite of shrimp and walnut! Highly recommend! Service is always impeccable and friendly!

Heard about this place on IG... So I thought I would give it a try. I was super excited to go in…read moreand try since the review on IG sounded like the food was amazing. The place is like your standard Chinese takeout restaurant, where you have premade dishes, ready to be served with white rice, fried rice, or chow mein noodles. The menu has standard items such as orange chicken, general, chicken, chicken, teriyaki, honey, walnut, shrimp, honey, chicken, mushroom chicken, and so. They also offer egg rolls, cream, cheese, wontons, and soup. What stands out about this place is that they offer a catering menu, unlike some of the other homegrown Chinese takeout places. The restaurant itself is very clean although had a strong smell of Fabuloso and the tables in the floors were a bit sticky. They have one singular bathroom and it was clean. The person who took my order was very nice, friendly, and professional. She was very eager to give me a taste of the entrées in case I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat and I thought that was very cool. I purchased a bowl with half fried rice and half chow mein, and one entrée. For my entrée chose the honey shrimp. my meal came with a fountain drink so that was good. The entrée is $9.99 however, because I got the shrimp, it was a little bit extra. I wish I had gone when the IG people were there doing their reel... Because my food didn't taste anything like how they described it. The honey shrimp was very tasty and the shrimp was cooked perfectly however, every now and then I would get a huge puffy piece. I was not impressed with the fried rice nor the chow mein. I was expecting it to have a wok-seared flavor, like how it was described by the couple doing the reel on IG. For me, it was very plain, in fact, at one point, I thought the chow mein noodles were spaghetti noodles. While the meal satisfied my hunger, since it was dinner time, I likely will not be going back... Sorry, peeps I still have not found good Chinese food in Bakersfield. I hope you have a different experience, and if you do, enjoy!

In comes my relationship with the Wonton soup. Quite frankly the relationship was inappropriate, toxic even. It really wasn't that good but I kept ordering it ???? With a touch of MSG and some probably costco bought wontons, I slowly returned to my original form. Now flip the narrative. One day after work I'm kinda sad... being an LA boy I missed my asian cuisine. Mom was out at MahJong and dad was idk planting flowers or something (he's retired now so I guess he picked up Botany). Out comes the beef chow fun. Quite frankly it itched my chinese tickle. You know its good when it's named "fun." That's "noodles" in Mandarin for my non-Mandarin friends. 5 out of 5. This ain't the country side of BeiJing but it'll do.
