    A charming restaurant, attentive service, and delicious food - and at reasonable prices? Yes, please! The portions were more generous than we'd expected. The eggplant was a star, as was the green bean, and the chow fun was outstanding. This family owned restaurant took such good care of us. We had a wonderful time, and we would definitely return!

    Special Noddle Soup loads of  noodles, veggies  and hot broth.

    I stop in for a nice entree, lunch special or order to go for a mini picnic at the gazebo park. You will be served a hefty meal. The park is only two short blocks around the corner. Walkable

    A good choice for Chinese food is your looking in the Napa valley. Extensive vegetarian options and a pretty decent place to eat in or get take out from. Service is nice, and it's a family run place that largely serves the community. I recommend their lunch specials on the weekdays as there is good value.

    Typical but tasty Chinese food, at a reasonable price (especially for Calistoga!) Lots of vegetarian and pescatarian options (as well as vegan and gluten free possibilities) I had the Szechuan eggplant lunch special... yum!

    Good morning I was drive thru Napa Valley just touring the valley and stop in Calistoga and. decided to stop for some Chinese Food. I enjoyed the shrimp fry rice at this small restaurant it's good and the service was awesome .

    Chinese food restaurant on Calistoga's main commercial Street. The restaurant is small but laid out to accommodate the maximum amount of tables. It was OK and comfortable. We ordered chow mein with chicken chow mein with shrimp and Mongolian beef. I had some of the chow mein chicken, and it was good, but not very warm. I would not recommend the Mongolian beef, since it was very salty. It would've been nice if the chow mein, shrimp and chow mein chicken or heat it up to a warmer level. As we ate, we kept getting noodles that were cold.

The delivery was pretty quick. The food was packaged well everything looked delicious; and was still hot when we received it. The Egg Rolls were good, lots of filling in them. The Chow Mein noodles were cooked perfect and the dish was deliciously savory with a good amount of pork as well as veggies. Everyone enjoyed the food and were satisfied with the meal. It wasn't too far from our hotel and from the reviews it looks like a nice place to dine in which me may do so next year when in town.

Yes the portions are very generously large. And, the taste is okay, but not exceptional as compared to an other highly rated restaurant I usually get food from. My biggest complaint is that the service staff is terrible. My recent purcghae was a take out order placed on the telephone. The gentleman who took my order could barely speak english and was very impatient, rushing to end the call. I order a pork mushu, eggplant with added shrimp and the house tofu. I requested that everything be mild as I have a family member that is on meds that do not allow him to eat spicy food. When I went to pick my order up the three containers were placed in a thin plastic bag. When I got home the eggplant /shrimp dish was spicy with three large hot chile peppers right on top of there food. The Mushu pork had no pancakes. When I called to tell them the same man answered the phone and his reply to me was "No Problem"! The older woman who i encountered there at the service counter does understand English but she is gruff and unfriendly. On this last occasion, Mother's Day, when I went to pick up my order there was younger woman who was very pleasant but when I ordered an extra continuer of riv=ce she just handed the hot container to me. Itvwould not fit into the bag with my original order. I asked for another neg. She then put everything into a larger bag (original bagged order as is nd separate rice and tied it). When I got home the containers leaked and it was a mess. When I arrived at the restaurant it was more than 75% empty of diners sitting at tables. No excuse for such sloppy service and attitude. Not going back there for sure.

    It bothers me that I like this place so much…read more Mainly because the cost of dim sum at some restaurants is ridiculous. The fact that Hang Ah charges $8.45 for an order of har gaw or shu mai today when just a few years ago this dish was half the price at most dim sum spots puts a money chill in my very bones. But the fact is that their flavors are on point brings me back in the future. I had one of the best turnip cake dim sum I have ever tasted. Crispy fried with some great flavor through and through. I would order this dish every time I visit in the future. But I would also request that they sear it on both sides for optimum tastiness. The har gaw and fried squid were also full of flavor. I do think that in the future I would request the squid extra crispy as it was a bit undercooked and limp when it should be crispy af. :-) The spot is typical of Chinese restaurants in terms of ambiance and service. All in line with my expectation. My only complaint is paying near $50 for 2 orders of dim sum and one entree. I hate 2026 prices.

The outside looks unassuming, but the inside is very clean and neat. Not too packed at noon on a Monday. Pros: - Favorite items: Chicken Claws, Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice, and baked bbq buns - The meat on the Chicken Claws was tender and easy to get off the bones. The claws were soaked in a sauce that was a perfect mix of sweet and savory. - Though the baked bbq buns could've used more filling, the bun itself was soft, fluffy, and warm, covered in a thin layer of sticky-sweet glaze that paired well with the sweetness of the chashu pork filling. Cons: - Shanghai Soup Dumplings are a skip. They seemed over-steamed, as the skin was sticking to the bottom of the dish and to other dumplings, causing them to rip easily and lose all their broth when you tried to pick them up. - Items like the sesame balls, the steamed egg custard buns, and the baked bbq buns could definitely use a lot more filling.

Located on Lakeville Highway, just east of Hwy 101, it would make a good place to stop for a nice lunch or dinner. I was there on a warm Saturday, at around 11:30 am. The dining room has a contemporary asian decor. The AC kept the air cool and comfortable. There's several 2,4, and 6 seat tables. Just before lunchtime, the place was 1/3 full with customers. I was seated along the wall. I was offered a menu, and choice of hot tea or ice water. I asked for chopsticks, because the place setting had a fork. I ordered the Mongolian Beef lunch plate w/ fried rice. Also, I asked for an order of (Lightly Breaded) Fried Prawns. Service was excellent. My waiter was very attentive, and served my food as soon as it was ready. He told me if there were any delays. I didn't have to ask for anything. The Fried Prawns were large and plump. They were served with various sauces to choose from. The Mongolian Beef lunch plate had a nice presentation. The portion size was fair. The fried rice was moist, and blended well with the Mongolian Beef. The Mongolian Beef was spicy and tasted just right. Hot 'n Sour soup came with the lunch plate. Lily Kai's recipe for hot 'n sour soup is a little different than what you might get in most other chinese restaurants. They make it with alot of mushrooms. The familiar flavor was there, but it lacked several expected ingredients. Well, as long as it tasted good, I'm okay with it. ----------------------------------------------- So I had a great first time experience here. The plaza has a free shared parking lot. There's a Starbucks Coffee shop in the same plaza. Also, this place is down the street from the Kaiser Medical Offices. Also, they have clean and large restrooms. Lily Kai is in the Adobe Creek Center at Lakeville Hwy & South McDowell Blvd.
