The only thing wrong was we ordered Lo Mein and we got Chow Mein instead.

Stopped in on the way down to Victorville from our home in big bear and I was about to pass out I was so hungry! We walked in a minute after they opened (we are so so sorry) at noon on a Sunday and OMG! The food is so amazing, the egg drop soup brought a nostalgia I can't put my finger on, and the man who served us was so kind and organized. A lady came in and was a brat because "she wasn't served fast enough" she sat down for literally two minutes and stormed out. I hope she stubs her toe because she did not deserve this place, it's absolutely adorable and so are the kind employees. If I could give ten stars I would. ❤️❤️❤️

We came out here looking for Rumaki, a popular appetizer from the Tiki era associated with Chinese-American cuisine. It is exceedingly hard to find so we had high hopes after perusing the menu online. This is an older establishment, the only Chinese restaurant in the Lucerne Valley. The exterior and interior has a well-worn ambiance to it. It is easily missed if you are driving through town so slow down and keep eyes peeled. GPS helps, too. The Rumaki here are large, made with chicken livers, water chestnuts, and bacon. Too bad the livers were overcooked so they disintegrated into tiny bits with each bite. The Rumaki could have been improved with the application of the same batter that the Butterfly Shrimp had prior to frying but they were okay as is. Served with the intense yellow mustard sauce found in Chinese restaurants. The appetizer plate came with fried shrimp, paper chicken, egg rolls, and bbq pork spareribs. The fried shrimp was battered nicely, crisply fried, and tasted very good. Eggs rolls and spareribs were good. The paper chicken not so much as they were very bland. War Wonton Soup was very delicious with a clear, light tasting broth. It had plenty of Napa cabbage and snow pea pods. There were slices of tender chicken breast in the soup; the well filled wontons were plump and flavorful. This is a definitely a good soup to have either with the meal or by itself. We also had the Lemon Chicken and Three Delights. The Lemon Chicken was rather unspeakable with a heavy, doughy crust and no discernible lemon flavoring whatsoever. The white meat chicken itself tasted bland and not freshly cooked. Three Delights was also bland and lacking in any caramelization flavor from the wok. There were plenty of beef, chicken, shrimp, and vegetables in the visually appealing dish but not much overall flavor. So disappointing. Other reviewers have noted the strange coloration in the fried rice as being very pale or pink. The predominant flavoring for their fried rice seems to be chicken bouillon and white pepper only, with the white pepper being most forward. Bits of eggs dot throughout the fried rice. It appears no soy sauce is used in the preparation and unknown if there is tomato to account for the color. However, I found that I enjoyed their fried rice since it is not the usual preparation. The white peppery kick definitely adds interest. It is uniquely theirs. Exemplary and very attentive service. They certainly do have a good business with returning clientele so I guess the locals find the food decent. The owner is from Taiwan so it would have been nice to have a few dishes from that region on the menu. The current menu is heavily Chinese-American since that is what people are familiar with but there is always room to introduce something new to update things.

Mabye we need to try somthing different. The fried rice was strange. My husbands Almond chicken was bland and full of celery. I enjoyed the sweet and sour shrimp and the egg soup. Happy I had no celery because im allergenic to it. I my have been exposed to it. I did have a large bloch on my face after eating my shrimp.

he food is amazing here!! Loved the tofu dish we had, it is called Ma-po tofu...it was sooooo delicious!! We also had the sizzling rice soup and that was also so delicious!! The orange chicken is so crispy and flavorful too! Basically, you can't go wrong with anything there. It is on your way to big bear, just stop in.

Best Chinese food in Southern California. People travel miles to eat here for a reason.
Over charged me, on top of getting me the wrong meal.
