One thing to know--this place gets very busy, especially during peak hours, so be prepared for a wait. But trust me, it's absolutely worth it. The quality of the food and service makes every minute and every dollar worthwhile. My personal favorite is the fried catfish plate. It's so good that I have to order it every single time we visit! Crispy, flavorful, and always cooked perfectly. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a restaurant that's worth the wait, this is the place. Highly recommended!

We arrived on a Friday around 3:30 pm, were seated righted away and greeted by our server Thomas…read more He was very friendly and answered our menu questions, offered suggestions, and brought out our drinks quickly. We decided to get the large bbq chicken and grilled chicken plates with the fried rice option. My friend added veggies to her bbq chicken plate and we each added a shrimp egg roll. Our food came out very fast and we laughed at the generous portions. Thomas made sure we had everything we needed and we had an assortment of sauces on the table to spruce up our dishes to our liking. All in all the food is good but wouldn't say we were wowed. The bbq chicken was both our favorites and I highly recommend that dish! The service was excellent, Thomas did everything right! The ambiance is low key, kind of has a hole in the wall feel, super casual. My one complaint is that the floors are SUPER slick and a major fall hazard. They have floor carpets everywhere to probably help with that but the tile sections are small death traps. (Yikes)

Starting with the yellow curry, this was one of the best dishes we ordered along with the soup! The curry had great flavor from the cumin and turmeric curry paste, and came with potatoes, carrots, yellow onions, and chicken. The sauce was rich, flavorful, and perfect with a side of rice to soak everything up. Portion size was generous enough to share as well. The only downside was that the chicken was unfortunately a bit dry. The BBQ beef was the biggest disappointment in my opinion. The beef was marinated with lemongrass and black pepper and had a nice grilled flavor, but the meat itself was very dry and not worth ordering again. The pad Thai was decent overall. It came with Thai rice noodles, stir-fried eggs, bean sprouts, onions, and sauce, and we ordered it with steak. The flavor was almost there and still enjoyable, but the dish leaned on the dry side which held it back a bit. Service was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. The ambiance was clean, quiet, and peaceful, exactly the relaxing atmosphere you would expect from a Thai restaurant.

Such a local gem to the community…read more All the food tastes home made and very fresh. My favorites were the Lemongrass Chicken Wings, Chow Mein & Jumbo Salt Pepper Shrimp Their wings reminds me of San Tung wings in sf, the noodles in the chow mein has a nice bouncy texture & the fried shrimp was so crispy, I didn't have to remove the shell. Oh and the shrimp are HUGE I also heard good things about their pho. I noticed other tables around us ordered their different noodle dishes. Their drinks were yummy and I was pleasantly surprised with their options and quality of ingredients for a non Milk Tea specific establishment. The 2 women working the front were very nice & helpful. They were moving nonstop to take orders, serve tables, ring up guest, clean tables and also make drinks. The restaurant has 10-15 tables for seating and plenty of parking outside. The last point that will keep me coming back is the price. While other restaurants push towards $20 plates, QQ does a great job at keeping the menu affordable for all ages I'm sad I haven't tried this restaurant sooner.

From the outside, it doesn't look like much, and inside it's tiny tiny. maybe 6 to 8 tables total. Honestly, it could use some updates or a bigger location, but don't let any of that fool you. The second you walk in, you get that old-school family restaurant feeling. The kind of place that's been around forever, where the same family is working every shift and knows half their customers by name. No room for a Togo box hidden storage, no trendy décor, just people focused on making great food and taking care of their customers. The owner was incredibly kind and even brought us a complimentary order of their veggie rolls to try. They were absolutely delicious and such a thoughtful touch that made us feel genuinely welcomed. And the food? Absolutely incredible. Every single thing we ordered was packed with flavor, fresh, and cooked perfectly. Not one dish disappointed. It's the kind of restaurant that reminds you why local family-owned spots are worth supporting. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't it. If you're looking for some of the best food around in the Monterey area, this place is a 10/10 and well worth the visit. Don't judge this place by its location or appearance, the food speaks for itself.

To be honest, I didn't have high expectations to find good asian food in small coastal towns but this place was a true exception. Family style Chinese restaurant. Ordered through a QR code & on your phone. The food literally came in minutes. How they make them so fast left me speechless. They gifted us cucumber salad on the house and it was delicious. Per usual, we over ordered. We got to try a lot of different dishes - steamed soup dumplings, regular dumplings, salt and pepper chicken, beef wrap, onion pancake, hot and sour soup, ma-pao tofu, veggie chow mein, garlic chow mein, garlic green beans, combination fried rice, and their smoked chicken leg quarters. All the food was prepared and cooked so well. Tasted authentic and definitely one of our new favorite places to eat in SC. Reasonably priced. Delicious food. Generous portions. Special Noodle now has a special place in our tummies and hearts. Amazing service from the staff and their manager for going above and beyond for our table. Highly highly recommend this place!

Delicious and varied flavors…read more Options for both more American Chinese and traditional Chinese food (I don't know each to say which province). I particularly enjoyed the soup dumplings. The service and ambiance are both good, but it can be very busy and loud. Given the popularity, the service is good, but I wouldn't visit during dinner rush if I had an appointment after. They do takeaway, which I've enjoyed in the comfort of my own home on Friday night before. I don't love the QR code to view the menu online, order online, pay in person set-up, but I've never actually had anything go wrong, so I can tolerate it. There's a few parking spaces outside, but it can be hard to get one so you might end up trawling around the corner and walking over.

This time, my partner and I got the Sichuan cold noodles, fish soup with pickles, and eggplant in garlic sauce. The noodles are a great texture, and the sauce super flavorful with a little sweetness and numbing spice. The fish in the soup is super tender, cooked to perfection. The soup has a little spice, but it's mild and balanced with the pickled veggies. The eggplant has so much flavor, sweet and umami. We also love ordering the Dandan noodles, cumin lamb, and shredded potato. These dishes are very similar to ones we ate while visiting the Sichuan province in China. They offer all of the familiar favorites as well like chow main, fried rice, and Mongolian beef (but I highly recommend trying some specials). The service is friendly and efficient. The food comes out quickly. You can also easily order for pickup on their website. The inside of the restaurant is cozy with plenty of seating. I will continue eating here whenever I'm craving Sichuan flavors (which is often).
