Probably on my list of Chinese restaurants in Modesto. I got the Garlic Chicken combination plate…read moreand boy was it hot when I first tried tasting it. I had to wait 10-15 mins until it cooled down. That's how you know the food here is fresh when it's steaming. The garlic chicken itself was EXTREMELY CRUNCHY (which I loved) and the chow mein complimented it nicely.

One of the best places to have wonton soup and sizzling rice soup. We usually get both but today we…read morewanted to try something new so we added an order of the chicken and corn soup and it was pretty good. We like adding the sizzling rice to our wonton soup it adds a nice texture to the soup. So if you like adding crunchy toppings to your soups add an order of their sizzling rice. Their honey walnut prawns are also delightful. Overall this place is great place to pick up some food and have a relaxing meal at home.

The restaurant was quiet and clean, there was one other diner but a lot of people were coming in for pick up orders. We ordered sweet and sour chicken combo plates for the kids, and garlic chicken combo plates for the adults plus the potstickers. Their potstickers are amazing, large and have a nice crunchy outer layer. Highly recommend! I do sometimes have trouble getting someone to answer the phone when I call my order in, it is hit or miss. The food never disappoints and the portions are a good size. For my family of 5 we can order 3 entrees, a side of fried rice, potstickers and STILL have leftovers. I have added pictures of the menu, they are current as of 7/31/26!

This was my third visit to this restaurant, and unfortunately, I found that the service has…read moredeclined each time. We ordered a Chinese vegetable dish that was recommended by the restaurant. The vegetables were so tough that they were difficult to chew. We only took a few bites and couldn't eat the rest. The staff acknowledged that the dish wasn't good and offered to cook us another vegetable. However, I believe they should have replaced the dish at no charge or refunded it. I also found several of the dishes to be overly salty. On the positive side, the roast duck and BBQ dishes were very good. I also ordered the two-meat combination that was pictured on the overhead menu . It showed with rice. However, when the meal arrived, it did not include rice. The actual dish did not match the menu photo, which was disappointing and misleading. For me, great service is just as important as good food. While the restaurant has some excellent dishes, the declining service, inconsistent food quality, and the way these issues were handled mean I probably won't be returning.

Heading back from the Reservoir and it was after 8 PM in Oakdale. Nearly all restaurants, including…read moreGolddust next-door were closed. Felt like my grandmother's old saying that they roll up the sidewalks after 8 PM on a Sunday night. Beyond Taquerias, a couple of hamburger drive-ins that were still open, we found this Chinese restaurant. We arrived 30 minutes before closing, and they were definitely not happy to see us, but they were willing to serve us. We got the Hunan Villa's dinner which came with a Pupu plate and your choice of soup and your choice of entrée. We ordered the dinner for two as the Babes only grazes. They gave us settings for three, including for the soup without having to be asked. Both the Hubbs and the babes had fun with the Pupu platter. I was more tired than hungry, but ended up enjoying the food. It had that old school greasy spoon American Chinese flavor that I've been missing. The food isn't fancy, but it's plentiful and tasty and reminded me of the Chinese restaurants when I was a kid. The Hubbs chose Mongolian beef and we got tons of beef and I chose the honey walnut prawns and they gave us at least 20 prawns. The portion sizes were huge. I was expecting that they had provided food for three but when we got our check, they charged us the dinner for two. We took home the leftovers and there was enough food for two additional meals. Forgot to take additional pictures and the total came out to about $42. I had $60 on me in cash and left that to cover the tab and tip, since they stayed open late for us. Definition of cheap eats and we will definitely be back the next time we go to the reservoir.

Cute and charming little building in the corner of the parking lot. Me and my family got:…read more Combo plate #2 Sweet & Sour Chicken, BBQ pork fried rice & an egg roll. Chicken was nice a soft on the inside and crunchy when you bit into it. Rice was a chef's kiss. Egg roll, was well an egg roll. Combo plate #3 Garlic Chicken, BBQ pork fried rice & foil wrapped chicken. Chicken was nice and seasoned. Garlic wasn't overpowering and chicken had a nice crunch when bit into it. Rice was also a chef's kiss. The wrapped chicken was nice and soft with a bit of a chewy texture when eating. Combo plate #4 Beef and broccoli, chicken chow mein and two crab ragoon's. Beef and broccoli was nice and soft, chow mein had a good texture and the ragoon's were nibbled and eaten by my sibling. Overall, def a hidden gem if you're in town.

The folks who ran New China Kitchen, had retired in December of 2025, we had discovered. So we tried China Bowl, located in a strip mall and visible from the neighboring streets along with parking being tight. We ordered the shrimp wonton soup, fried prawns and egg rolls for starters.The soup and fried prawns were very good and tasty.The egg rolls weren't to my liking and were on the doughy side. We later ordered Broccoli and beef, orange chicken, the house fried rice along with Mongolian beef. The main dishes were on point along with being eye catchy. This place hits the spot and has great service if you like chiness food. All the dishes were very tasty and at a great price.

Choose your broth, serve, served in mini crockpot heated on table top burners, then create your own dipping sauces at the sauce bar. Meat Proteins come by "Bullet train" and noodles, veggies, seafood come by on a conveyor belt. Tip: designate someone to grab items from the conveyor if you're seated in a long booth. Fresh ingredients, customizable flavors, and unique set up and make this a great choice for a family outing. Pros: plenty of food options and variety; interactive, and fun dining experience. Cons: hard to get in and out of booth if you need more sauce; sauce station access can be inconvenient; bowls stack up quickly, making the table cluttered.
