Food was very good. The gal behind the register was friendly and the flavors were definitely there.We ate Chinese but we simply do not have the energy to make so many dishes and to be honest all the chopping and dicing. Nope!I'm that slightly lazy Asian who will not make Chinese food unless I'm threatened.I think this family is from China as their flavors have a sweetness to it rather than the tart in Taiwan. Still, food was quite good and much closer than Monterey Park/Arcadia.Will be back.

I would like to start off by saying we came based on the reviews that we saw as we were shopping at the Camarillo Outlets and wanted to get away for a bit. Visit date: 12/19/23 @ 1:15pm. The individual at register seemed extremely angry. His demeanor was not a pleasant one towards our group. It was our first time there and he kept rushing us to order. This is all while there was only 1 person eating in store and we were the only ones in line. He never even said thank you throughout the whole stay. Our family easily spent over $125 and even cleaned up after ourselves. The food was definitely good but the service was subpar. We asked for cups of water and he just had them waiting on the counter for us to pick up. However, he never let us know that the water was even there to begin with. The food is what saves this from being a really negative experience.

Found this hidden gem at CSUCI in the student housing town center. Fresh hand pulled noodles and some great authentic dishes. This is a new favorite and a must stop if I'm going to the outlets 10 minutes away. It is truly hidden on campus, and I'm jealous that students get to live within walking distance as I come all the way from SB to get a fix. The owner/chef is very sweet. She remembers already and comes out to say hi every time we order.

If we're just talking about the food, its delicious. 5/5. But its hard to talk about the food when the ordering experience left much to be desired. Completely cut us off when we were ordering and gives the nastiest glare. Doesn't accommodate for the elderly or notify people when the food is ready. Maybe he was having a bad day? But it was truly unpleasant 1/5. Ambiance is really appealing to the anime masses with Gen 1 Pokemon statues and One Piece figures from Film Gold and Wano. But it was strangely emtpy for a Saturday dinner time rush and the tables had the weirdest black debris. 2/5? Would I recommend this place? Maybe if you're just ordering take out (which seems to be the norm) or if staff is feeling nicer that day.

Absolutely the best Chinese (if you know what to order) in Ventura county. Coming from San Francisco it's been hard to find food like this. Amazing flavor in the Dan Dan noodles. Love the bbq bao and green beans with black garlic and chilies are my favorite. I only ever order take out so service in the main dining I can't speak for. But excellent for take out.

On the edge of CSUCI's campus, in the food court, we happened upon Mom Wong Kitchen when trying out Tortillas next door. The food is served in portions to share, no combo plates, which seemed odd for a food court place. We had the pan fried chicken dumplings, pork buns, broccoli beef, and chicken chow mein. It was more than enough for 2 people with left overs for the next day. It was made to order, the chow mein was a little greasy, but overall everything was surprisingly tasty. I had no complaints and will be returning. I also had their honeydew slush with boba and look forward to trying their other flavors. There's plenty of seating inside and out. Service was quick and friendly. If in the area and craving some Chinese, I recommend it. Well that's this critic's review.
I was craving some good fresh Chinese takeout on my way home from work and this out of the way spot did not disappoint! After reading other yelper reviews ( thanks Jara S.!) I drove the windy single lane road into Channel Islands College campus. Parking was plentiful and easy. The inside isn't much and covered in anime art. The menu is varied and familiar. I ordered their spicy Dan Dan Noodle, schezhuan style eggplant and Kung pao chicken for my man. It did not disappoint. The veggies were finely chopped and fresh. The chicken was tender and sauced well. The eggplant was good but a little greasy for my liking. I would definitely return if I'm in the area. The prices are very fair! A very pleasant tasting experience! I definitely recommend if you're craving some great Chinese food that won't break the bank and will not make you feel overly full.

This place is definitely a sleeper hit, located on the CSUCI campus. I used to live closer and found this originally on Yelp years ago and we've gotten take-out multiple times. We revisited tonight to enjoy their spicy fried chicken w/ rice, bbq pork buns and spicy chili wontons.The service is always prompt , I used to always order to-go orders online and bring them home and it was usually ready by the time I left me place and got there no matter how big or small my order was (it usually was on the bigger side because their menu keeps real well as leftovers).Today we decided to dine in, the place is showing a little bit of age with some dust and some imperfections on the walls and furniture. But it's still fine and charming on the inside. Dining in on a Friday night it was fairly quiet, we only had 2 other couples come in during the entire time we were there. I think when it's closer to the school season it gets more busy. The food is all very solid and one of the few places you can get some of the menu items in the area that include dumplings, noodle soups, fried chicken and other familiar food options. Definitely check it out , some of my favorite items are the Dan Dan noodles & Spicy Braised Beef Noodles Soup.

Boba and drinks are the best . Food is not. Noodles taste like plain oil. Fried rice taste like oil. No flavor not authentic Chinese food. I think Panda Express is

Food was good, although perhaps a bit unexpectional. The chow mein was good. Good portions.
No flavor in the house rice. Not enough meat.
