    Three Item combo with double kung pao chicken and popstickers
    Taylor C.

    Stopped by for lunch with my husband for some delicious chinese food. We've eaten here a few times before and the food is always amazing! The portions are generous and excellent value. We usually get the 3 item combo. My choices today were double Kung-Pao chicken & Potstickers, served with fried rice and chow mein. Each entree has its own unique and delicious flavor. The vegetables are always cooked perfectly and taste fresh. The service is very attentive & staff are super friendly! The ambiance is great, perfect for a lunch bite or dinner. Definitely recommend!!

    I didn't know what to expect when I came here. The place is very small, but just the right size in the dining room. It seems that they do a lot of takeout orders. So we didn't have to wait very long at all. Everything came out pretty quick and everything was just amazing. This place is across from my house so we will definitely be back. It's even close enough that if we took our food to go, it would still be hot at home. I had the drunken noodle, but I definitely want to try the pad Thai next. It's in a shopping center so there's lots of parking.

    Cozy little spot that seats about 40 - 50 people. There seemed to be only two people working but they were very efficient with seating and service. Their menu offered a nice variety of Asian favorites, we were hoping for more Pho choices but what they had was good enough for what we wanted. We enjoyed the presentation of the hot tea. The individual tea pot was adorable and being able to watchnit bew was a cool touch. The wonton noodle soup was delicious. The broth was delicate in flavors and didn't swallow up the flavor of the added chili oil. They weren't stingy of the amount of wontons or noodles. There definitely was enough to where if you wanted a wonton soup you could eat a few wontons, if you wanted a Ramen, you could slurp up enough Ramen to enjoy your Ramen soup and go back to having a wonton. My husband enjoyed the three meat beef, tripe, and pork combo Pho. Not sure what kind of tripe is used but its cut so nicely thin it looked like a piece of chicken. His only negative about it was that it was served with a side of lemon that he said changed the flavor profile a little bit from a lime. Definitely a place to stop in for a bite to eat if you're in the area.

    My daughter really wanted some Chinese food and we decided to try Soy and Spice. The cafe didn't disappoint. All our food was cooked perfectly. And the flavor was on point. Everything was fresh. The portions were big and the prices are reasonable. The cafe is quiet and casual and a calm atmosphere. Our server was attentive with refilling our drinks and our food came out quickly. Highly recommend supporting this business.

    Great service and great food! We were greeted by the owner immediately upon arriving and everything we ordered came out piping hot and fresh. The food is very authentic and we are excited to come back again to try more dishes.

    I don't recall what this place was called before its current name, but we've been coming here that long. This place has the best Pho in town - IMO. I was feeling under the weather and that is the only thing that sounded good. It definitely hit the spot today. Chicken Pho, I definitely recommend it and you won't regret it. We have always had quick and friendly service in a welcoming environment. A few other dishes I enjoy is the orange chicken and the pad thai.

    Strawberry Green Tea

    Awesome first visit and will definitely return! We did the combination with orange chicken and kung pao, sesame ball appetizer, salt and pepper pork chops, and a strawberry green tea. The showstopper was the pork chops- these were absolutely amazing and fresh. The strawberry green tea and sesame balls were also very yummy.

    Special Phô, combo chow mein, vegetable fried rice, orange chicken, potstickers, and teriyaki chicken.

    The kiddos and I have found a new go-to in Bakersfield for our Asian cuisine, and it's for more than the good food. The service is phenomenal. We arrived 30 minutes before closing and were there until about 9, and we weren't made to feel rushed. As we were exiting, my nephew wanted to take a Pic near one of the decorations our waitress said take your time. I loved the lighting. It's low giving that romantic feel, but roomy enough for the whole family.

    Vegetable pho
    Claudia T.

    My husband and I ordered their vegetable pho on Monday as a to go order over the phone. Over the phone she said the order would be ready in about 15 minutes and the order was ready to go and upon arriving home the food was still super warm. They package everything really well. This is my go to place for vegetable pho. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Although, I've never had my food to eat there when I go in but it's always super clean. The vegetable pho has zucchini, onion, broccoli and carrots. FYI: I believe they are closed on Tuesdays.

    Service was great, food was so fresh and tasty! Thai tea wasn't the best but still tasty. If I lived closer it would be a regular meal for sure

    The girl behind the counter, Lydia was friendly and helpful. She said hello as soon as I walked in…read more When I asked about a dish that wasn't out yet she said they could make it for me, I didn't even know that was an option, so happy to get exactly what I came for! The restaurant was clean and cool, which is nice in a warm day! Food all looked fresh and mine definitely was!

    Heard about this place on IG... So I thought I would give it a try. I was super excited to go in…read moreand try since the review on IG sounded like the food was amazing. The place is like your standard Chinese takeout restaurant, where you have premade dishes, ready to be served with white rice, fried rice, or chow mein noodles. The menu has standard items such as orange chicken, general, chicken, chicken, teriyaki, honey, walnut, shrimp, honey, chicken, mushroom chicken, and so. They also offer egg rolls, cream, cheese, wontons, and soup. What stands out about this place is that they offer a catering menu, unlike some of the other homegrown Chinese takeout places. The restaurant itself is very clean although had a strong smell of Fabuloso and the tables in the floors were a bit sticky. They have one singular bathroom and it was clean. The person who took my order was very nice, friendly, and professional. She was very eager to give me a taste of the entrées in case I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat and I thought that was very cool. I purchased a bowl with half fried rice and half chow mein, and one entrée. For my entrée chose the honey shrimp. my meal came with a fountain drink so that was good. The entrée is $9.99 however, because I got the shrimp, it was a little bit extra. I wish I had gone when the IG people were there doing their reel... Because my food didn't taste anything like how they described it. The honey shrimp was very tasty and the shrimp was cooked perfectly however, every now and then I would get a huge puffy piece. I was not impressed with the fried rice nor the chow mein. I was expecting it to have a wok-seared flavor, like how it was described by the couple doing the reel on IG. For me, it was very plain, in fact, at one point, I thought the chow mein noodles were spaghetti noodles. While the meal satisfied my hunger, since it was dinner time, I likely will not be going back... Sorry, peeps I still have not found good Chinese food in Bakersfield. I hope you have a different experience, and if you do, enjoy!

    My experience at Feng Lin in Bakersfield was wonderful, thanks in large part to Chris and Angie…read more Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. I have food allergies, and they went out of their way to accommodate my dietary needs, which I greatly appreciated. It's not always easy to find a restaurant that takes allergies seriously, and their willingness to help made the entire dining experience stress-free and enjoyable. The food was fresh, flavorful, and generously prepared. The lemon chicken was a standout dish--the chicken was tender and crispy, coated in a bright, tangy lemon sauce that was perfectly balanced between sweet and citrusy. I also really enjoyed the chow mein, which was packed with flavor and had a great texture with perfectly cooked noodles and vegetables. The chicken and vegetables dish was another favorite, featuring tender chicken and fresh, crisp vegetables in a light, savory sauce that let the ingredients shine. While the fried rice wasn't my personal favorite, the quality of the service more than made up for it. Chris and Angie provided exceptional hospitality and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our visit. Their warmth and attention to detail turned a good meal into a memorable one. I highly recommend Feng Lin, especially if you're looking for delicious food and outstanding customer service.
