The hours we saw online were wrong (they open at 3), so we ended up arriving a little early. Even so, as we were in the car looking for somewhere else to go, the owner opened up early and invited us in. The menu is expansive (something like 100 different items, which can be broken down to maybe 35 items when you don't differentiate the meat), so I asked what he recommended, and I went with the Mongolian Beef. As I sat waiting, I looked around. The seats were comfortable, the ambiance was nice, and there was even a bit of a view of the charred Sonoma County hills.The serving size was quite large. The Mongolian Beef was delicious with a tiny kick. Others at my table got the lemon chicken and lemon chow mein, which I found good, but not great. The final dish we got was Ma Po Tofu, which also had a bit of a kick, and was personally my favorite dish (when paired with brown rice). The serving sizes were all too much, and I'm happy to inform that the food tasted just fine leftover.By the way, I can't imagine the city of Oakmont EVER gets enough people to fill up that parking lot. So much parking, and an easy location to get to off the highway.Great experience. Will be back. I must try the chicken broccoli.

While visiting family at Oakmont we stopped in to have a meal , we ordered Egg Foo young, Sweet and Sour Pork and Kung Po Chicken. Every dish was fresh and so darn good, the staff very attentive , friendly, and the prices very reasonable. Next trip down I’ll be stopping in again for my favorite dish Egg Foo Young.

I've been coming here for years now, but over the past few months it has gotten really bad. The egg rolls used to be nice and crispy with a rich seasoned interior. Now they are soggy and the vegetables are raw. Lately my usual Prawns in Walnut Sauce taste like they were deep fried a week ago and microwaved after I placed my order. What prompted my review was the Sweet & Sour Chicken. Soggy breading around dried out chicken that was like trying to chew shoe leather. It was so bad I had to spit it out and toss the whole container in the trash. Oh well, at least the Vegetable Fresh Rolls were good.I like the owners and this place is very close to my house, but I can't imagine ever going back. I'm not sure what has happened, but the food is just plain terrible.

Just had dinner here. First rate cuisine, excellent service, handy location halfway between Santa Rosa and Sonoma on Hwy 12. Especially recommend the House Special Chow Mein. Soups are good, too.
This is the best low-brow Chinese place left in Santa Rosa, I think. If you have an occasion to be near sleepy little Oakmont, this place is a refreshing break from the eye-wateringly expensive restaurants in Kenwood or Glen Ellen. The $10.99 lunch special is a great deal and so much food!The bathrooms were very clean and the atmosphere is nice and clean as well.Parking: In front, 15 spaces or so
