The sweet and sour chicken isn't the most flavorful(would say it lacks any flavor tbh) the onion pancakes are pretty good and flaky

The ingredients were very well balanced, I’ve noticed an issue with many Asian restaurants in Santa Barbara is that they tend to overpower the food with one ingredient or flavor. This place is easily my favorite Chinese restaurant in Santa Barbara.

The food was amazing, so flavorful and the ingredients were fresh and cooked perfectly. The service was also great. Highly recommend— don’t be fooled by the paper plates and small interior, it’s a superb find in Goleta with authentic and affordable foodand an extensive menu.

It looks like they renovated the restaurant. Our favorite is the onion pancake appetizer, and it is light crispywith a dipping sauce. We enjoyed our dinner (shrimp chow fun and mooshoo pork). The servings were large and we had enough leftovers for lunch. Our server was very attentive and nice.
