best Chinese food in all of Salinas. $5 for delivery with a $25 minimum order is hardly anything. Totally worth it! Love the spicy lemongrass chicken. read more

My favorite place for great food every time. Service is fast and friendly. I have been coming here a while now. The food is fresh and I have never been turned down for special orders. I recommend the orange chicken and Mongolian beef. You can ask for more or less spice. The chicken noodle soup is fresh and great when you're not feeling well. Chicken salad is a refreshing choice on a hot day. read more

Delicious food and excellent service. Favorite Chinese restaurant and great find for Salinas

I am amazed that this place is so good, given how fast it is, and that it is plopped in the middle of Salinas, CA. Their lunch specials are great. (A meat/tofu choice, rice or chow mien, and an egg roll). They deliver amazingly fast (way faster than the pizza places around here). All around great place! read more

I've seen this place improve their dishes year after year. I still remember when they had $6.99 lunch specials. Those days are long gone but the tasty food remains excellent. Singapore Noodles are my favorite. Give them a shot. I'm sure you'll love them. read more

I have to say; they have the best honey walnut shrimp I've ever had! It isn't too sweet nor is it too bitter, just the perfect flavor! However, it is expensive for only having 10 shrimps. I also tried their veggie spring rolls and they were ok. I will definitely be coming back :) With more cash lol read more

The sesame chicken was very dry and I feel as though I received more broccoli than chicken. Very disappointed.

In my view the Eagle is the best Chinese restaurant south of House of Nanking in San Francisco. Like the House of Nanking and some of the best restaurants anywhere, the Eagle's ambience is simple, casual and down to earth. If you want fresh ingredients, vibrant flavor, and professional and friendly service, you will be delighted with the Eagle. read more

Great place for lunch in downtown Salinas. Best Chinese restaurant downtown also. Exactly what you expect from a quality Chinese restaurant, good food, great service, and low prices. I wish Yelp used 10 point system because I would say they are a 9 out of 10 or 4.5 stars. I usually go for lunch specials, but diner and take out have been good also, never did delivery. At lunch time the manager or owner Sam may be your waiter himself. Service is great, always in and out quick, but not rushed. Clean also. Food quality and taste is great. Wide selection of menu choices, even lunch specials. Great value, highly recommend. read more

Took a to go meal. I had their egg drop soup and the #57. Super good and large places. I will be going back there again. Warning they have parallel parking. read more

Some of the best Chinese food I've had. Customer service could be better but overall great food!

I've eaten take-out here many times, and I must say that it's my favorite chinese food place in town! I love the way they prepare their to-go orders, making them stay delicious even after the drive all the way back home. I enjoy the General's chicken the most, the chicken is fried just right and the taste of the sauce is so good I almost want to drink it. I highly recommend giving it a shot if you're in the mood for some good chinese food. read more

It was the day after Christmas and the restaurant accommodated our group of 13 immediately. The service was slow, may be because there was limited staff or that the chef was taking their own time preparing the food. The food quality was amazing. The wonton soup and the asparagus seafood soup was great, not at all salty. The salt and peppered eggplant and the Spicy basil fish was the best. read more

We have gone to Eagle restaurant for many many years, pick up and sit in the restaurant. However, I had family visiting from out of state and we specifically went to the Eagle and it turns out that it was awful. They overcharged us by $40 I tried to discuss it with the owner/ the manager and he wasn't having it. There is a lot of confusion on the menu on the prices so I paid it of course and I didn't want my friends too be uncomfortable about it so I paid for it. However, I have to say that the food also was not very good and somehow along the way to Eagle restaurants cleanliness has gone way downhill. I always ensured I did not need to go to the bathroom while I was there because of the weird location of the bathroom. You have to go to the Alley walkway because the bathroom is shared with the bar next door. I let this unfortunately thing go because there has typically been decent service and overall good food but now that they are dirtier and confusing with the new menus and the food has gone downhill it all equals yuck. definitely gone down hill read more

I have been a regular at this place for years, sometimes restaurants go downhill but not Eagle. They are consistently good. Food is always fresh and authentic. My kids are vegetarians so we tend to go that route and the salt and pepper eggplant or salt and pepper tofu are delicious. I like to get the chicken wonton soup to go as well, and the fresh spring rolls are really good, large with fresh basil. The green bean and asparagus dishes are also always good. The mu-shu is delicious. Plus the service is REALLY fast. We never wait long to eat, and they are pretty much open year round. read more

I don't see what all the fuss is about. Been here twice. Had the garlic chicken lunch special on my first visit then on my second trip got the Mongolian lamb. The garlic chicken was decent at best. The lamb was very flavorful and cooked well. Fried rice was rather stale both times. Hot and sour soup was very good. Good food but not four star worthy. Plus they charged me $18 for two plates of plain chow mein. Probably won't go out of my way to visit again. read more

So what did we try... Walnut shrimp, Mongolian Lamb, Beef chow fun with gravy, curry combo rice, orange chicken. Everything was delicious and very fresh. The veggies were crisp and you can tell everything had just been made to order. Service was attentive and the place was clean and quiet. Portions weren't the biggest , only reason why I didn't give it a 5 stars. read more

Driving through on way to S California and stopped off in Salinas as we were starving. It's Christmas Day and this is the only restaurant open. Looks like a dive but great reviews on yelp so we were hopeful. As it turns out looks really can be deceiving. Really good food, generous potions at reasonable prices. Definitely hit the spot. Was really busy with locals too - always a good sign. read more

Best Chinese in Salinas!!! I'm craving it just writing this.

Food is good, but the portions are small for the price, we ordered the same as other Chinese restaurants in the area total came to around $50 and we didn't have any leftovers, while in the other restaurants we have leftovers to feed two more people for around the same price, maybe less. read more

Stoped to eat hear on my way past salinas... food was ok was not the best in the world... desided to order some more food for the way to my destination that was not a good idea.. but o well.. live and learn average nothing spesial for me.. read more

Good food. Lunch specials are perfect. Try the lunch combos. Prices are really good. The place is nice, neat and well kept. Same owners of Dim Sum Inn. Both locations are great and I'm a big fan of the mongolian chicken here. read more

The chow fun soup is delicious! Got it with combo (shrimp, chicken and beef).

Average. We had food to go based on the reviews. Unfortunately, it fell short of expectation. AMBIENCE: okay, average spot; PEOPLE: nice people ready to serve; PRICE: expensive. Not a value considering you dont get much from your order. Any beef order is $9.25 and you probably get a cup worth of beef. For the most important part... FOOD: very average...in fact, disappointingly average since all these people made so many great remarks. The chow mein had dark and light spots (means it was not sauteed well), not much vegetables or meat. Mongolian beef (being $9.25) was sparse with lots of onions and too salty for my husband's taste. VALUE: Overall small portions, average taste with high prices. Doesnt work. I dont mind paying almost $10 for an order with more than a cup of meat. The best thing about this place is someone who worked there had a lot of energy and was very helpful. They were also fast getting the orders out. However, food and value could be improved. read more

It is a good Chinese restaurant compare to other ones around here. At least the food is taste less like sauce based.

I enjoy the privilege of driving 18-wheeler all over North America. Knowing many, but not all restaurants, I often consult Yelp. When in New England, the Gulf, and the Pacific Northwest I go for seafood. Low Country shrimp & grits never disappoint. Basque lamb in northern Nevada is to die-for. The closer I get to San Fransisco the more I crave Chinese food. With my driving hours almost expired, today I rolled into the Salinas Pilot, for whose parking-spaces I'm grateful. The air brakes were barely set when I whipped-out my iDevice to access Yelp & discover the Oriental delights awaiting. I flitted from one to another review, realizing the local consensus was that Eagle Restaurant was the place. Many burgs frown on big-rigs traversing narrow local streets, so I called for delivery. They asked for my phone number and were not concerned by my Kansas City area-code. When they asked for my location, however, and learned I was at the Pilot truckstop, after a brief silence, and then an extended period of muffled chatter, there turned-out to be no one available to deliver my food. On a Saturday late afternoon... I always thought that victims of discrimination were less likely to be guilty of it... read more

Its ok, not great. The vegetable lo mein my girlfriend ordered was really greasy, and completely flavorless. And the egg rolls were tiny miniscule things, and overpriced. My general tso's chicken was overcooked, and not spicy enough. Overall, I may go back there if I was really craving some american chinese, and it was convenient. read more

I've only been for their lunch specials, but the service is fast and the food is fresh. I personally think it is the best chinese you can find in Salinas. read more

Good lunch specials, fast service, a little over priced. I like their mandarin chicken, lamb w broccoli dish, and hot sour soup. Restaurant is consistently clean with excellent service. read more

Best Chinese food I've had. Fresh ingredients. Hot and tasty. Not all greasy. We're regulars.

For Salinas, I can see how this is a good Chinese restaurant. I'm giving it 4 stars because of what's around. Anywhere else it's an average 3. They have an extensive menu with everything you would expect plus some extra. The prices are slightly higher than a cheap Chinese place but the food is definitely of better quality. For an appetizer I ordered their vegetable eggrolls which were okay but they seemed like they were the frozen kind. I actually don't mind that because they are consistently good and you know what you're getting. For a main course I ordered off their "specialty menu" and got the dragon and Phoenix which is stirfried eggplant with shrimp and chicken. It was definitely decent and not overly greasy like most places stirfry eggplant. It was all cooked well; not too much but not too little. There wasn't a whole lot of flavor so maybe it should have been greasier. There wasn't much dine in business for a tuesday night so service was quick and the food was out in five minutes. All in all I would check the place out again if I'm stuck in Salinas (which I don't recommend). read more

The best in Salinas. Both chow main and fried rice are great. The waiters are very nice and attentive.

On a way back from Santa Barbara over the Memorial Day weekend we gave this place a try. Yelp ratings were good so we called ahead. Yes they were open on Monday. The Singapore style noodles was excellent. We ordered a second plate. Nice clean place. Very good value for money. Parking on the street. read more

Very good food with a reasonable price, except some dishes are a bit too salty.

I have been going since this place opened and the food was good (prices were reasonable). Over time the prices have been continuing to go higher. Hello!! Comparing to some nice restaurants downtown, I rather go to those establishments and pay a 12.00 dollar plate for good homemade meals, awesome drinks and of course the atmosphere. Honestly, I did like this place but there are other Chinese restaurants in town that don't charge 11.99 for just chow mien. read more

This place seemed friendly and welcoming to eat at. But I thought the prices were really high for the amount of food they served. I really enjoyed their sizzling rice soup, it was very good. But other wise idk if id ever come back to that whole in the wall. read more

no msg as far as i can tell.fast service great wor wan ton soup.great garlic chicken,great kung pao calamari, great time all around.Narrow entrance but deep inside.General Tsao chicken good but the generals genealogy is still UNKNOWN per netflix documentary so the generals mystery still persists. read more

We have eaten several times here with the food being of good quality and very tasty. The ambiance is not much just a "hole in the wall" type of place but the food is excellent. The hunan scallops is wonderful and we have not been disappointed in anything that we ordered. It is worth the 10 mi drive that we do to go there. read more
