Hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese restaurant tucked away in the heart of downtown Manteca, and one that's…read moreworth seeking out. My wife and I stopped in after our jog along the Tidewater Biketrail, making this our lunch pit stop after starting at Lathrop Road. The Char Siu Pork Bánh Mì is an easy 5/5. The baguette was fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft and chewy inside. The char siu pork was tender, juicy, and perfectly caramelized around the edges. Crisp pickled carrots and daikon, plenty of cilantro, and fresh jalapeños brought everything together. It's a well-balanced sandwich with a portion that's just right. The Grilled Chicken Roll'd deserves more attention. The grilled chicken reminded me of a flavorful chicken satay, and the peanut sauce complemented every bite without overpowering the fresh ingredients. If you're looking for a lighter, protein-packed option, this is it. They also offered complimentary strawberry and passion fruit refreshers. They were a little sweeter than my preference, but the flavors were refreshing. Next time, I'd order one at 50% sweetness. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and a welcome escape from the Central Valley heat. Service has always been friendly, and it's the kind of place where both the staff and regulars make you feel welcome. There's also a Tracy location, but I find myself coming back to the Manteca restaurant. It's smaller, more intimate, and has a charm all its own. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Great food, great people, and a relaxed atmosphere. I always say, good food brings out the best in people.

The chicken in the vermicelli dish was outstanding, flavorful but not overpowering with spice. Salad items were fresh and crunchy. Both of the soup dishes were full of flavor, beef stew on a spicy side. Chicken noodle soup is old classic that was executed beautifully in this eatery. I tried Thai tea as well and it was yummy. Not too sweet. All in all, great value for the quality and quantity of food.

From healthy mixed bowls to ramen with customizable proteins and broths, their Asian fusion-inspired menu has endless options to satisfy just about any craving. Some of my personal favorites are the Philly Cheese Steak Egg Rolls, Crab Rangoons, Bang Bang Shrimp, Shrimp Wontons in Chili, Garlic Green Beans, Chicken Katsu, and Charshu Tonkotsu Ramen. Each dish was packed with flavor, made with fresh ingredients, and served in generous portions. 10/10

Went with family and even though I was hesitant and outvoted from going to the Vietnamese place…read morenext-door, we actually had a great dinner. Food was so much better this time around than the last time I had been there. They really must've had a bad night when I had gone previously. Small restaurant in the of a little strip mall off of Main Street. They serve classic Chinese American food and unlike most places in the Bay Area that are family style dishes preferably on a Lazy Susan during dinner time. They offer rice plates, or combo plates for individuals, similar to lunch specials. I selected several dishes and asked the server which was the most popular amongst the dishes I chose, and she let me know the salt and pepper fish, which I got with chow mein. We also ordered shrimp & broccoli, and sweet-and-sour pork. Everything appeared made to order and looked very fresh. From grandma to the babes everyone was happy with their food. Mine was more on the plain Jane with just fried fish, luckily it came with sliced jalapeños to give it a kick. Next time I'll order a spicy eggplant dish. This is a good place to go to if you're with a group of picky eaters. Price is very reasonable, especially for dinner.

7/5 /25 Update 3/5 This has been a long time coming…read moreunfortunately. Ever since the previous owners sold the place the quality has dropped significantly. Consistency has been a major issue not only with food but with policy. When they first took over I'm sure there were some learning curves and maybe tweaks to the recipes. I wanted to give them a fair shot to get things right. Not sure if the old cooks stayed or if they got new ones? Did the new owners have the recipes changed? Did they change suppliers of ingredients, etc, I just don't know. What I can tell you though is that at least some of the dishes are different and are off from what I remember. The general Tao sauce I thought tasted different but necessarily bad. But combine that with a definite lack of crisp/crunch with the fried items and that's gonna be a problem for me. This time around, I only got the general tao beef because unlike my previous visit, they did not allow me to order the general tao beef in the combo plate as in upcharge (just last week or the week before it was allowed). I've been multiple times since the change in ownership. Partly because of the convenience of the location and partly because of the hope that whatever meal I eat at any given time will at least satisfy my fix for their type of Chinese American food. Unfortunately, the fried items I loved so much like orange chicken, sweet and sour pork and general tao beef alike are all severely lacking the crunch from the fry. As of late I've been getting the General Tao Beef to track consistency and it's been consistently under cooked in terms of the batter. The beef itself has been rubbery and to the point where I can't even break apart a piece and end up having to eat it whole lots of times. The other problem is that the pieces are large inconsistently cut (sometimes with, sometimes against the grain) strips making for a difficult chew. And because of the lack of crunch the fried battered outside just falls apart when you bite or try to cut it apart. The last two visits, but especially this one considering I ordered extra crunchy, were severely undercooked and soggy. it was to the point this time where I basically had to scrape off the majority of the batter and just eat the rubbery beef inside. It really does bring me pain to drastically drop the rating of a place that I once loved. I hope one day they can make the fixes so that I can continue to enjoy their food once again. I gave them a 3/5 but honestly, it probably should have been 2/5. I think the chicken with hot garlic sauce might be just good enough to keep it at 3/5 even though the last three times I ordered it. It was inconsistently hot (with cold spots) temperature wise.

They were served with more of a hoisin-style sauce instead of the typical peanut sauce. A little different, but still had good flavor overall. My dad ordered the chicken sandwich, and it was much bigger than what you usually get at other places. He said it was really good and definitely filling. ($6.95) I ordered the mild beef stew pho. It wasn't quite what I'm used to--the meat wasn't the typical stew cut and had more fat and gristle, with only a few pieces of beef. It wasn't my favorite, but the broth itself had good flavor. It also came with rice noodles, carrots, and even a couple pieces of lettuce, which was a bit different. Looking around, other dishes coming out looked really good. I'd definitely come back to try one of their sandwiches next time. Service was quick approx 30 seats. The ambiance was casual and welcoming clean, relaxed, and a comfortable spot to sit down and enjoy a meal. Nothing fancy, but it had a nice local feel.

If you'd like extra sauce or condiments, you just need to ask. As a vegetarian, I was happy to see they had an option for me. I also appreciated that the vegetarian ramen broth is prepared separately and isn't mixed with the meat broths. I ordered the Spicy Vegetarian Ramen, and it arrived at my table quickly. It had great flavor, plenty of vegetables, and tofu. The tofu wasn't my favorite type since I prefer firm tofu, but it didn't take away from how much I enjoyed the soup. It definitely had a spicy kick! I ended up with leftovers, and it was easy to take them home since you simply grab a takeout container and pack your food yourself. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would come back.

For lunch, I ordered the following: - Combination Plate B: Pork Fried Rice, Vegetable Chow Mein and Sweet & Sour Chicken ($11.95) - Hot & Sour Soup ($9.95) I must say that the food was super filling and tasty. The soup was executed with perfection and the entire plate was delicious, especially the Chow Mein. The food was still piping hot when I was settled to eat. What stood out to me in this visit was interacting with the restaurant owner, Sancha Lee. She was the sweetest woman, complimenting the clothes I was wearing too! She informed me that the restaurant used to be a dine-in format, but now, it's only takeout because it's just her and her sister running the small business. I was so glad that I was supporting this restaurant. Because of the amazing, affordable prices and yummy Chinese food, I highly recommend stopping by. Whenever I'm visiting Manteca, I'll have to come by again.

In general I don't like when places use the word restaurant in their name when they are to-go only…read more While it's something that I might take into consideration, the food alone is enough to make this rating a sub 4. For me this place is a 3/5. I ordered the general chicken and orange chicken. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I came maybe about 10 min later. Got the food and tasted it soon after I got to my car. Orange chicken lacking in that orange pop. General chicken lacking in overall flavor. What was the most unforgivable though was the soggy chicken. Eating at its optimal level would be eating it fresh at the table at the restaurant. Next best thing would be in the car as soon as you got it. But it's a to-go restaurant to realistically your eating it at home after it's traveled for however many minutes. As expected when I got home it was soggy. But it was already as soggy as possible to begin with. Why is this place a 4/5 I have no idea. Maybe since I came during off peak hours so they foods just sitting around and there's no fresh food turnover? No idea. Maybe I'll give them another chance one day but who knows. Also factor in that they don't have rice plates and the cost of pure entrees alone and that's a negative for me. I didn't know how lacking Chinese food was in Manteca because I was spoiled by the old Kitty's Kitchen. Nothing compares in the area.
