    They used to fill the plates up, now half empty.

    This was always the go-to spot. Now their prices have about doubled. The plate size is also much smaller and not even filled with the veggie/rice (cheap ingredients). I appreciate they still have a sauce bar.

    Saw the sign while driving back to the city and liked the name, so I stopped in for some quick chicken and rice. The place has a decent sized parking lot with a steady flow of customers going in and out for takeout, which is a very good sign that the food may be fresh and cooked to order. There was lots of seating inside, a sauce bar for your orders and everything looked clean. The staff were friendly and very quick, and you can see them cook the proteins fresh in the back. I ordered the chicken teriyaki with extra chicken with a few sides. I liked the portion sizes and how fast the food came out. Unfortunately, the batch of chicken I received was quite tough and dry. I tried to save it with some warm teriyaki sauce from the sauce station, but it didn't do much for it. The egg roll was just okay and resembled more of a fried spring roll, and the shrimp tempura had a thick, doughy texture I didn't care for. On the bright side of things, the cheese puffs were light and tasty and the prices were not so bad.

    Excellent quality chicken bowls at an great price. Cooked to order so you get fresh chicken right off the grill. Restaurant is super clean and spacious. Service is fast and friendly. They have their own parking lot so you don't have to struggle with street parking. I'd come here again for sure.

    I was Rolling around Manteca !! When I saw Luu's Chicken Bowl!!! It was Perfect Timing Dinner Time!!! They have a Huge Parking Lot. So I rolled in with my Whip and had my Pick of Parking Spots !!! So I stashed my Whip and rolled in to Luu's ! I was greeted by a Beautiful Asian Woman!!! She was the Cashier!!! I ordered a Beef and Chicken Teriyaki Combo and a Side of Hot Wings!! I Paid by Credit Card!!!!!! I grabbed a Table in their Down Low Dining Room and relaxed while I was Waiting for my Food!!! My Food was ready in 10 minutes !!! Portions were Good and Flavorful and Drinks come with Free Refills!!!!! I had a great Conversation with the Cute Cashier!!! Luus is a Family Owned Business!!! This is a Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!!!!

    I came here for lunch and order the 2 meat combo meat and chicken plate, the food was very plan and bland the tri tip was over cook and tuff to eat I'm sure others like it but not me, the chicken was ok I'll eat it but I'll probably won't be coming back to eat prices are ok but customer service was good. Overall the food was too bland and dry.

    I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl with extra chicken. The food smelled good but the building was heavily ran down both indoor and outdoor. Staff was stand off ish and almost shy. When my food came it was a bigger portion than I expected and the price was good. Sadly the chicken was way overcooked and it killed the entire meal. No amount of teriyaki sauce would fix it. Trust me I tried. It was edible, but there's so many better places out there. I won't be back.

    They don't give you enough meat anymore. And they don't have brown rice but the veggies are good. Not sure why they are loosing their touch.

    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.

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.

I'll comment on the taste in a bit but I want to first highlight something I've never experienced. In all my work-from-home years I've never once had to-go experience where the dishes looked like they'd been plated for table service at the restaurant. Sure some stuff shifted in the Dasher's car but it honestly blew me away. Even the drink was carefully wrapped and put in a little box to ensure it wouldn't leak everywhere. As for the important bit, the taste, man... I have had so many amazing Thai meals at places in the bay area and honestly just assumed the most Modesto would get is some great Banh Mi spots. Obviously I haven't had the chance to try the whole menu but my go-to, Tom Kha, this is the best Thai coconut soup I've ever had! The Pad Thai is as good if not better than what I've had in San Francisco as well. I'm really looking forward to bringing friends and family here to check it out in person! Side note... yes, it's also very expensive ordering via Doordash with their added fees but it's 2026 and it's California. So far my multiple orders have been well worth the price and I expect the same experience in person! (just, you know, without the extra Doordash fee nonsense)
