I know this restaurant from around 16 years ago when I moved to Soquel and their food is always fresh and yummy and the restaurant is always clean. The ladies there are friendly and welcoming and this review is long overdue. My favorites are chicken fried rice and the green beans. Thank you!

Order take out. I had the Chinese chicken salad and my husband had the chow mein pork chow mein. Pork was very good. The chicken salad was good. It was ready when I got there and I'd go back.
