Great, quick service, the one in Seaside is a "to-Go" only so there's that. But the food is great! This area doesn't have many places that I'd frequent often but this surely is one of them! Plenty of food, I've told everyone at school about this place cause they have to have it at least once! I get the lemongrass chicken and shrimp vermicelli or with fried rice.

Pasta was made fresh, I enjoyed the Burrata e Prosciutto There is a parking lot and I parked on the side of the restaurant. Complimentary bread came after all the food came out, server said sorry he almost forgot about it. Besides that incident about the bread, service was good, if you could find them. At times they went mia, albeit the restaurant was not packed for a sat lunch. The server boxed our leftovers, and gave us extra new sauces. Will definitely return for the food. Food is good enough even if service could be slow. There is also a lunch menu

The food was amazing, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was the kindness and…read morecompassion of one of the waitresses. Right before we arrived at the restaurant, my 3-year-old daughter had fallen and hit her head on the cement. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of the wonderful older Asian woman who helped us, but I hope she somehow sees this review. She was incredibly attentive and kind. She had us sit down while we waited, brought my daughter ice and bandaids for her head, and continued to check on her throughout our time there. Before we left, she even came back to check on my daughter one more time. It may have seemed like a small gesture to her, but in that moment, it meant so much to us. It's the kind of kindness you don't forget. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. If she happens to read this, thank you so much for taking care of my daughter and for being so incredibly kind to us. We truly appreciate you.

The chicken however was perfectly cooked with good flavors. Probably one of the better Kung Pao chicken I've had. On the affordable side. Would eat again.

This place is the definition of a hidden gem…read more Tucked away in a random corner, it's easy to drive right past it and never think twice. 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.
