    Worst service ever! Staff was rude and acted like not wanting to sell anything. Did not welcome any customers coming in.

    The food was mediocre. It tasted as if it came from a frozen package. In the shumai, one of my family members found a piece of plastic. The dumplings were also quite expensive. I have tasted much better dumplings for a cheaper price. The service was all right, nothing special. However, the open condiments like chili oil did not seem sanitary to consume. Overall, I would not recommend eating here. You might as well purchase frozen dumplings at a grocery store for a much better price. There are better food options around the food court as well.

    Wasn't too bad, actually better than we expected. They had dumplings and bao buns with different meats and shumai. We need just a bit of a snack before we hit the road, so we decided on dumplings, and mostly because we saw they had a big jar of chili oil, which definitely helped in our decision and did make the dumplings taste even better. They also offered soy sauce, dumpling sauce, and Sriracha.

If you want to drive back to Los Angeles for cheaper prices..well dont let the door hit you on the way out.

We have never had to wait even if it meant sitting all the way over on the boba side we were seated and there was someone working making drinks so we were never ignored. we have been here over 5 times now^^ Everything was spot on and 100% Yeah ...Bring on the Host club nights!!! *Smooches*

The egg buns were also pretty good; they had a sweet taste and it paired well with the soft bun. The edamame had generous seasoning, making me scrape some off before eating. Overall good service and they had call buttons at each table. The restaurant itself is quite large with 2 seating sections and shares a space with a boba shop. I wouldn't say this is my go to dumpling place, but it overall satisfied cravings.

When we arrived, we waited about 10 minutes to be seated. After being seated, it took another 10 minutes just to receive water. No one ever came to take our order, so my husband finally had to walk up to the cashier to ask if someone could help us. Looking back, we probably should have left at that point, but our kids were already starving. Once our food arrived, we still had to flag down a server just to get our drinks and utensils. The drinks eventually came, but the utensils never did we ended up getting them ourselves. We never had an assigned waiter just multiple people bringing our dishes. The service was so poor that I honestly can't even remember how the food tasted because the entire experience was overshadowed by the lack of attention and organization. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had, and I won't be returning.

Their food was still very good, and I was lucky to be there before they close for the summer. Recommendations: Garlic cucumber, clear noodle with dressing, spicy combo pot, stir fried lamb, spicy wonton soup, fish with sichuan pickles The only thing I don't recommend is fried eggplant. Portion was very small for the price ($17), it was stuffed with minced meat which wasn't in the description (I wouldn't have ordered it if I knew) They will be closed from May 25th through Sept 21st, 2026.

We ordered from their already limited dim sum menu which was suppose to be available until 4 pm per their menu. ( we got there around 2:40 pm) Other parties arrived after us yet they were served their food before us. The service was not great. The food was subpar. They even charged me for food they didn't even deliver. When I expressed I never got the food yet she charged me she tried to get me to pay for someone else's food. I told her that was not my bill. I would not recommend coming here. The table was dirty and so was the cutlery. It got two stars because the pan fried scallion tasted fine and my daughter liked it.

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.

Can't even tell you the last time I've been to a buffet. Finally tried it out for lunch. They offer lunch from a certain time with a price that's totally worth it. Also, they offer prices for kids based on ages. And a discount for 65 and older. The place is just along the main strip along the boarder of Rancho Mirage and Cathedral City. Plenty of parking along the front with a few covered car port right in front. Right when you walk in, there's a little waiting area with arcades games. Something to do while you wait when it's busy. We stopped in for lunch which is until 3pm I believe. For the price, it was worth it. There was a good amount of people already when we walked in. Checked in with hostess and was seated right after. Like I mentioned, buffet tends to be a hit or a miss. Well, it was a nice start. Just browsing the rows of trays, there were loads of items to choose from. It's a Chinese buffet with loads of items. You have all your classic dish, orange chicken, beef broccoli, chow mein, egg rolls, sautéed green beans, and so on. A few fish options, chicken items, fried stations, soups, dim sum, sushi station, seafood, fruits, salad, as well as the Mongolian grill section where you create your own dish and its cooked right infront for you. Don't forget to tip the chef. Dessert station was limited but a few items. Lunch selections were decent and loads to choose from. Dinner, I assume there's other items added only for dinner. Probably more seafood I assume. For the price, it was worth it. Quality of food was good. Station was alway refilled every-time I went up to see what else was available. Service was great as the waiter in our section was constantly making sure that our drink was refilled. For the price for lunch, it was worth it. A good selection to choose from. May need to try dinner and compare to see which I prefer better.

Anyway, It also nice to see quite a good crowd on Tuesday night, 元宵節。 Keep up the great work, guys!

I was so incredibly impressed with Da Chef Noodle, I felt actually giddy joy when discovering it existed and then even more excited once I learned the food is as good as you think it is going to be when you walk in. Staff was low key but kind and helpful. I popped in on accident one night when I was in the area and have ordered several times since. My first fortune cookie read: You are in the right place for something unforgettable. And boy, were they right! The roast pork was sweet, tangy balanced perfect with salty. The walnut shrimp might be the best I've ever had and I've lived all over the world. Typing this now, I can't wait to go back. I'm new out here to the valley and didn't expect to find such incredibly delicious Chinese food. So grateful for this find!

I've been several times, the first time about 3 weeks after it opened. Didn't write a review then, or did I? Anyway... It is about the size of a Starbucks lobby, complete with standard decorative restaurant applications. There's a couple of tables and a half dozen booths to sit in. Soda selection is limited, and they do have a few adult beverages there as well. I don't drink, so I usually don't check out the drink menu. Not to make the staff seem too stereotypical, but as soon as I heard the yelling in the kitchen, with the language of the natives, I knew from the first visit, this was gonna be at the very least, a tasty meal. This visit was not a disappointing one. I ordered the potstickers, and an order of combo lo mein. Very good and very filling. And all the flavors were very authentic. I will say the service is hot and miss, but only because the language barrier is somewhat thick. But, I really don't need to ask for anything else past the meal being set, because that's ultimately what matters, in my opinion. As long as we communicate, the plates and cups aren't thrown at me, I'm a happy camper. I feel like this place is a little more popular for take out, but I think it is also worthy of a sit in meal. I'm having the duck next time... Thanks!

Which brought us to Phu Chen Kitchen. The reviews were amazing so we had for find out for ourselves. This place is about 15 mins away from me. Thank God! Parking is plentiful. Its found in a small plaza on the same parking place as Bowlero off of Foothill. My wife and I was greeted right away and seated. The place is very clean and organized. We ordered the Dim Sum shu mai and shrimp hargow. These were not only amazing but Gigantic well worth what they are charging ( 7.95) for shu mai and 7.50 for shrimp hargow. We also got green beans, walnut shrimp, spicy salty pork, spicy salty wings, chicken fried rice. EVERYTHING, I MEAN EVERYTHING was made FRESH!!! Nothing tasted like it was pre-made or just sitting there. Fresh crispy well season amazing authentic Chinese food! Way better then PANDA INN at a fraction of the cost. Staff was amazing friendly attentive and accommodating. Even the owner came out to greet us, staff understand and speaK English well. I have been trying to find a Chinese restaurant to call home since I moved out here in 2017, and im glad that I finally found the hidden Gem in Fontana! I highly recommend coming here and trying everything because there wasnt anything I didnt like. They've only been here since 2023 and I hope they continue to get the exposure they need to strive!

I ordered a plate of beef & broccoli, steamed buns, and orange chicken plus a side of rice. Definitely had to take some home. The flavors were true to Chinese dishes. Things to note: Beef & Broccoli was a bit heavy on the oyster sauce for my taste, so it was a tad saltier than I'd like. I eat plain, but it balances out with the rice. My husband likes more intense flavors so it was perfect for him. Once the dish cools though, you do notice some of the sauce congeal because of the cornstarch. The orange chicken is not what anyone expects when they hear orange chicken. It's not crispy. Instead, it's slightly chewy because it's thinly cut chicken, but makes up for it with a great depth of flavor. There's much I wanted to try on the menu. I'll have to come back!
