    Forgot the official name of this dish, but it's the  chow fun noodles with chicken instead of beef.
    Lilly L.

    Ambiance was inviting. Nice decor and clean. Service was friendly and welcoming. The food...the chow fun noodle dish was too oily. Not terrible, but definitely oily. The pastry with meat...bbq flavor. It was tasty. The appetizer buns were sooooo yummy. Kristy on the outside but soft on the inside. So yummy! The dip was condensed milk. 3 stars because the noodles were sooooo yummy oily... but will definitely try it again, try another dish and give another review. Would definitely still recommend.

    Cumin lamb

    Stopped by for a quick meal (6/3) & it took awhile for food to come out. It was busy & they seemed understaffed as only one server who did amazing but seemed overworked. Food was alright- cumin lamb was mostly onions & bell peppers / beef noodle soup tasted a sort of bland with eggy doughy noodles. It wasn't the best or the worst but props to the waitress there today who was friendly & inviting to everyone regardless of how much she was handling.

    The whole place is going under construction which could be good but your have to navigate the steel structures. You can't walk on the sidewalk. Today we did what most Asians do on Christmas and are at a Chinese Restaurant. They were busy around noon. The place is pretty small for a big group. We had a party of 15. They had 2 large round tables. I asked for the tables to be pushed together. She accomodated which was so nice of her. It was still very tight to maneuver around. Good was much better as well as service today. Poor lady had to wait on the entire restaurant but she did well. My favorites were the fish fillet, beef roll 10/10, green beans, spicy beef in a large bowl. I'm just thankful they were open on Christmas Day!

    Even though the front of the outdoor strip mall is currently under construction, it's absolutely worth the visit. The food is outstanding and service top notch. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. They also offer Dim Sum, which was a pleasant surprise and definitely a highlight, delicious, and well prepared. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcomed despite the construction. Don't let the renovation deter you, this place delivers great Szechuan Chinese food, excellent service, and quality Dim Dum. We'll definitely be back!!

    Chow mein noodles with beef, chicken, broccoli, carrots, bean sprouts and onions. Second is pineapple rice with shrimp
    Manuel G.

    The food was hot and fresh. I asked for low salt in the eggplant but I should've asked for low salt on everything. The chow mien and the pineapple rice was too salty for me. I was really disappointed as I was hoping to eat the chow mien and rice the next couple of days. My wife enjoyed the eggplant and the vegetables. She said the eggplant was delicious.

    8/22/25 Pad see ewe, shrimp
    Jennifer W.

    8/22/25 Cozy little Chinese food restaurant in the plaza where 99 Ranch is located, quick, easy, friendly service, Ordered the shrimp pad see ewe, Mongolian beef & eggplant with chili garlic oil & it was ready in no time. When your total is $40 or more, you have the option for complimentary item, I opted for dessert-sesame balls. My eggplant & pad see ewe were pretty good, not better than most but still tasty. Hubby's Mongolian Beef, on the other hand, was not up to par. The beef was a bit tough to chew. Plus, the menu said it comes with vegetables and all there was-- lotsa onions (it should've just mentioned that, not "vegetables" as if there were 2-3 more kinds cooked with it). Portions were average for the price/value. Would we return? Perhaps, but not for the Mongolian beef.

    The food was sooo delicious and not expensive. We had the orange chicken, beef soup and fried dumplings. Yummy!

    Came to check out this place after all the reviews but did not hit the spot. The dumplings were bland and lacked flavor even though they were juicy pork. The fried cheese wonton were delicious and cheesy. The beef in the stir fry was chewy and not cooked to perfection. Service was great but the place lacked in taste.

    12. Fried Cheese Wontons

    Love this place! The dishes are great and prices are amazing for all the food you get. It's a small restaurant with a few tables for big parties. They are pretty quick with taking orders and bringing out the food so it's a good place to come with family and share the dishes. They also give you a free appetizer if you spend a certain amount so that's awesome for them for this! My favorite dish is the xiao long bao, and it's a must every time I go. I also love the cucumber salad and orange chicken.

    The Fried Cheese Wontons were so good i ate them very quickly, and the orange chicken serving was huge easily enough for 2 people. I will be coming back forsure!

    Is this the same restaurant/owner as min's dumpling but just changed names? Dishes and menu looks the same.

    The owner change,but the new owner has very good experience about authentic Chinese restaurant and he is the chef in the kitchen.Grand opening free juicy pork dumplings or onion pancake,you can check it up,a lot of people said is better than before

Intoxicating, mouth watering aromas from the kitchen, I am impatient and cannot wait for the dishes to arrive at my table. This is my fifth time coming here alone and with friends. I've never had an issue with the wait or the service. Everything is tip notch and I just absolutely love this restaurant. Today I ordered, the green beans and it's simply the best I've ever had. Just the right amount of salt and garlic, and what a crunch. The hot and sour soup, authentic and better than Chinatown. It's salty, spicy, vinegary, bamboo shoots was crushy too. The roasted duck was spectacular, crunchy skin and flavorful meat. Perfect seasoning. The orange chicken is a must. Crunchy and so so tasty. Every chicken pieces were crunchy and no bad pieces in this batch. This is not your panda Express orange chicken or Panda Inn, this is your Mr Chows Beverly hills orange chicken. The quality is un-matched. I don't know what these noodles are but they are crunch and delicious. I am so satisfied, and I also love the prices too, very good for this quality. I'm getting such a great deal.

He kept forgetting some of our dishes. He took a long time to get his refills. That's one thing that does bother me we're paying and tipping for Service and it should be done with the upmost care and consideration we ordered the packing duck the Mushu, which was suggested by the waiter, which was very delicious and the beef with the mushrooms Beef with the mushrooms was seasoned and flavored so deliciously texturally with the variety of different mushrooms that were in this dish was such a delight to eat The Peking duck is always one of my favorite the skin is extra crispy than meat is very moist. It comes with a nice light sweet-and-sour and then a darker duck sauce to pair with fluffy soft boas And the appetizer the mushu was a very delicious that came with like a Wong tortillas to pair with it and it was a very good recommend 10/10 But like I said, give it a try and you decide

They have spacious seating and look through windows to see the cooks in the kitchen. The woman who served us was nice and attentive. There was a bit of a language barrier but she made sure to get our order right. The menu is large. Lots of options!! We ordered Pork Xiao Long Bao, House Mix Dry Noodles, Orange Chicken, Beef and Green Pepper Pan Fried Dumplings , Pork and Chili Oil Wontons, Smashed Cucumber with a side of rice. We enjoyed it all. The smashed cucumber was very flavorful. I like the twist of it being smashed. It provided a mix of texture and there was plenty to go around. The house mix dried noodles was spicy. We did order it without the peanut sauce due to an allergy but the noodles were cooked perfectly. Reminded me of a broth less ramen bowl. Lots of spices!! The pork Xia long bao was good too. I enjoyed the broth inside. Had a little tang to it. Very tasty with the vinegar and soy sauce mix we made. I was pleasantly surprised on how juicy the Beef and. Green pepper pan fried dumplings were. I would definitely get them again. The orange chicken was a hit in my opinion. It was cooked well and did not have too much breading. It had a nice crunch and the sauce was more of a glaze. It had a strong orange flavor taste to the sauce and was served with a few small slices of actual orange. My favorite dish was the Pork and Chili Oil Wontons. Man, I loved it. The chili oil was not spicy but more flavorful. The chili flakes is what gave it the kick. It was topped with green onion ( not too much). Every wonton ate made me want the next. Lots of flavor. We finished the meal with a shared desert. We had the chocolate dumplings. They were ok.

The three of us arrived hungry and ready to order, so we ended up sharing quite a few dishes. We got the spicy dry mixed noodles, tomato egg noodles, xiao long bao (XLBs), steamed pork & cabbage dumplings, beef rolls, spicy chicken wontons, and salted egg yolk steamed buns. By the end of the meal, the only thing left on the table was two pieces of the beef roll and that was only because we were completely stuffed! The standout dishes for me were the tomato egg noodles and the XLBs. The noodles were comforting and flavorful, and the steamed dumplings were juicy and flavorful. I can't handle much spice, but both my husband and our friend absolutely loved the dry mixed noodles and the spicy chicken wontons. To finish our meal, we shared the salted egg yolk steamed buns, which were incredibly soft and made the perfect dessert. We were really impressed and only wish they would open a location in the South Bay someday. We'd be there all the time!

The shrimp tacos had bay shrimp with the same seasoning. Around us were many groups have seafood boils which is sold by the pound. The savory smells of boil could be enjoyed all through the place. Our server was a nice young man who came by our table often to ask if all was well and consistently filling our water glasses.

    AMBIANCE 5.5/10…read more After spending way too long trying to decide what to eat, we finally settled on seafood boil and landed on The Big Catch because of their all-you-can-eat option. Walking in, our first impression wasn't great the building looked a little run down. Once inside, though, the vibe improved. It had a rustic sports bar feel with TVs everywhere, an open bar, and a seafood station. Nothing fancy, but not terrible. EXPERIENCE 7/10 The service was one of the better parts of the visit. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and took the time to answer our questions and recommend a few items. The food took a little while to come out. BTW there's a 90 minute limit after we were seated and the second round of our seafood took 30 minutes to come out (they apparently forgot our order) and they proceeded to tell us we had last call right after our second round of food barely got to the table. Not sure if that's done on purpose but we really didn't really appreciate that. Overall though, the staff definitely made the experience better. THE FOOD 5/10 Here's where things started to fall apart. The first all-you-can-eat platter came with two snow crab clusters, 1/2lb crawfish, 1/2lb mussels, 1/2lb peeled shrimp, plus unlimited sides. One thing that caught us off guard and maybe we just missed it on the menu is that after your first round, you can no longer order the snow crab or peeled shrimp. That was disappointing since those ended up being the best seafood options on the table. The snow crab was solid, and the peeled shrimp were surprisingly good the texture was crunchy and we didn't get any fishy smell or flavors. Everything after that... not so much. Round two included whole shrimp, clams, and scallops. The portions were noticeably smaller, and almost everything tasted like it had been frozen for too long. The crawfish lacked freshness, the whole shrimp had the same issue and were mushy without the initial crunch additionally the shrimp was hard to peel which makes us think that it was POSSIBLY reheated, and the scallops were tiny with a strong fishy flavor that made them hard to enjoy. Even the House/Cajun seasoning didn't do much to save it. It was too oily and honestly just tasted like salt, there was no spiciness either and we got the hot flavor. Ironically, the sides ended up carrying the meal. The cucumber salad was fresh and crunchy, which balanced out some of the heavier seafood, and the sweet potato fries were honestly one of our favorite things we ordered. And one last thing... somehow even the water tasted off. What We'd Order Again Snow Crab Clusters Peeled Shrimp Fish Taco Sweet Potato Fries Cucumber Salad Sausage Corn Skip These Whole Shrimp Clams Mussels Scallops Crawfish House/Cajun Seasoning Cajun Fries Cajun Wings Boiled Egg Water Final Rating If you're going for the all-you-can-eat seafood, don't expect premium quality. The first round is decent, but once the crab and peeled shrimp are off the table, the meal drops off pretty quickly. Would we come back? Definitely not. We ended up paying 90$ for 2 people which you can argue is good since it's an AYCE seafood meal but afterwards after speaking to the waiter we found out the shrimp and crawfish was indeed frozen that along with all the other disappointing food doesn't make us feel like it was worth the money. Overall Gassington Rating: (5/10)
