I loved it here. Classic Asian restaurant atmosphere, but the server was weird but amazing. Perfect customer service I have seen in a long time. As for the food... It his the spot. I have trouble finding a place we're my significant other and I both enjoy the food, and this place didn't disappoint either of us. Their special dinner plates served family style was perfect. I honestly don't have a single complaint about my visit.
Had dinner here. Really good food. I do wish it had more flavor though. I little bland for my taste. Clean environment.
UPDATE 4/4/2025 Still the best Chinese in Chico. This time I ordered veggie deluxe and spring rolls, Delicious. Look at how fresh and colorful those veggies are. The bright green broccoli. The orange carrots pop. Those are FRESH veggies! six year ago... I ordered the tofu and vegetables to go. While I waited I watched the kitchen through a large glass window. It gave the space a slightly upscale vibe unexpected for a Chinese place in Chico. Watching the staff work the wok and food gave me nostalgia for my time in Guanzhou, watching street vendors expertly cook noodle dishes in front of me. The avacado green walls gave the room a warm and inviting ambiance. The food I watched coming out was all vibrant looking and delicious smelling. Vegetables were brightly colored (so they were fresh) and dumplings were plump and steaming. The staff was attentive and friendly and asked everyone how their day was going. I'm so glad I decided to pop in. The dish I ordered was excellent, tasty and spicy and crunchy. This is going to be my new favorite Chico Chinese place.
Our favorite spot for Chinese food! We usually order the fried rice, chow main, sweet & sour chicken and mandarin chicken. Always great!
Date night, so my wife and I tried something new in Chico. So glad we did, our we wouldn't know about this small gem. Hidden in a small corner on Mangrove Ave, we pulled in and entered to a small dining area with a large windowed view of the kitchen. Plus 1, as we could see our meal being prepared. Service is quick and thorough, and the staff are knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the Sizzling Rice soup for 2, Lemon Chicken, Szechuan Beef, Shrimp and Scallops with vegetables, and Special Chow Mein. Our 2 person table was soon too crowded to eat off of, as the dishes were larger than expected. These were packed with flavor, and overflowing with sauce. The vegetables were crisp, the seafood was perfect... not rubbery or bland, the beef was spicy but not so spicy you couldn't enjoy it. The chicken was falling apart, and the citrus flavor was spot-on. The chow mein was plentiful and packed with shrimp/pork/chicken/veggies... all cooked to perfection. We ate, and left with MORE than enough for lunch the next day. Prices are fair, and the atmosphere is cosy. This could... COULD, become our go-to for Chinese in Chico, giving Happy Garden a serious run for its money. AND, their take-out game is STRONG!! Don't be afraid of doing either.
The most amazing and fun dining experience my son and I have ever had. Food was excellent. The hostess/server made us feel so welcome and even kept us laughing. The kitchen is super clean, which you can see through the viewing window in the restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will definitely be back soon.
Amazing food, good prices, and great people. Been eating there over 20 years, hope for another 20 more.
The food here always tastes so fresh! I love the extra veggies in the almond chicken. The spring rolls were fantastic. Crispy, fresh, piping hot!
