Location is very peaceful and friendly. There services are super fast, orders don't take long to get to your table. But most importantly the food was incredible!! Super good

This is our go - to spot for chinese food in town. Pretty good, clean tasting food. Recently they have had some menu revamp and new stuff has been amazing. The bbq pork Buns (bao) were excellent. Pillowy on the outside and chewy inside, just the perfect texture. The bbq pork inside was well flavored. All appetizers are amazing by the way- pot stickers, hot dumplings, fried chicken wings are all great. New item - Chili chicken fried rice is a must try if you like spicy, well flavored food. Salt and Pepper fish with deep fried chili was crispy, fresh.

Amazing staff, great food and drink option, and a cozy place to enjoy delicious chinese foods any day.

Get the Szechuan string beans if nothing else and thank me later. These were the most delectable green beans I have ever eaten and were seriously epic. Crispy, crunchy, full of life and yet packed a punch. They are apparently made with organic beans and I am still salivating thinking about them. Green beans aside, we arrived here on a Friday evening. Parked at the back where there is plenty of parking and were greeted by a homely looking lady. After walking in and looking around at the completely empty restaurant we were skeptical about staying back for dinner but so glad we didn't listen to our gut feeling, haha. Ambiance is outdated, I didn't mind it though. Since we could only eat vegetarian dishes that day this is what we ordered. Green beans- 5/5- best I have ever eaten, I can eat this every day if the Aunty at this restaurant can cook it for me!!! Mapo tofu- 5/5- I am not a fan of mapo tofu and steer clear of this dish as it's normally very oily but the hostess suggested I get it. These were mind blowing as well. The tofu was like butter, just slid down the throat leaving a wonderful flavor in the mouth. Egg fried rice-4/5- plain version with just eggs and green onions, reasonably decent with some umami. Corn soup- 3/5- a little too sweet for my liking, couldn't taste any umami at all. The hostess/owner was wonderful. She reminded me of my mom/aunts who just keep piling up our plates with delicious food though we keep saying we are full. Though I was skeptical about the restaurant being empty, I can vouch for the fact that they cook some of the most delicious, clean Chinese food. Do give them a try if you are in the area.

Found parking right out front! Was close to 5-6pm in time for dinner and wanted my hot n sour soup. Found this gem from fellow yelpers. Décor was on the outdated side, reminds me of a scene in Christmas Story. It was quite humbling though as if you were having dinner at your uncle/aunts house lol. Was not busy and we were greeted by our host. We ordered the dinner plate A. Pork FR, chicken CM, s/s pork and the hot/sour soup. Also ordered the fried chicken wings. Food was served hot. Not at all greasy (except the egg roll), the s/s pork was fresh and crunchy- im having cravings for this now. Not soggy from the sauce. Soup was hella good, well balanced... mmm mmm definitely comforting . Them fried chicken wings was the best like mama's. I like just plain, simple seasoning, and fried crispy. Enjoyed every bite

We've eaten here twice (once in restaurant and once take out) and appreciate the friendly service and good pricing. I wouldn't say this is my favorite Chinese place in the area but it's one of the closest. Faves: walnut shrimp , beef with broccoli, kung pau chicken. I would come back to order the walnut shrimp alone. However, I wouldn't order the wonton soup again - wontons are doughy and filling is scant / low quality + not enough vegetable variety included.

This is the only chinese restaurant I come to anymore. The best kunpao chicken I've ever had! really reasonably price. mongolian beef is really good too. try the combination plates! none will disappoint! It is quiet and peaceful- non cafeteria like.

I completely understand why if you search for Asian food on Yelp, this is the top restaurant. We were in Santa Cruz for a family reunion. Since I don't get good Asian food in Florida, I was determined to find it here. My husband likes Chinese food and it had great reviews so I figured why not. We came with our two kids (3 and 6) and my dad at around 6 p.m. on a Sunday. Even though it looked pretty empty, there are tons of people getting take out. The food was absolutely delicious. We got a Beef Chow Fun, Chicken and Broccoli, Duck and Salt and Pepper Tofu. I usually find chicken a little more dry at restaurants, but this one was so tender. The beef was also extremely tender. I loved the Salt and Pepper Tofu, it was so crispy and perfectly seasoned. Usually fried food doesn't taste good the next day, but the seasoning made this one still delicious. My husband says I nod when I eat good food and I was a bobblehead here. I'm guessing that our servers are also the owners and they were so sweet. They asked about where we were visiting from. If I lived here this would be our go to spot. There's parking in the back and tons of it. I would highly recommend this place. If we are ever back in Santa Cruz I will make sure we come back.

While visiting back home looked for a place where my girls and I could eat. We found Golden Fu Wah on Yelp and thought to give it a try. This is an example of do not judge a place by first glance or being the only people there. Ambiance was dated and simple but the table seating was comfy. Service was sweet and kind and made sure we were happy the whole time. We looked at the menu and just couldn't decide so we decide to try a bunch off the appetizer menu and the general Tso's chicken, and nothing disappointed us. If we were staying we would be going back!! I wish I got more pictures but we ate up the food so fast...

Finally, a good Chinese restaurant. We were there for a friday dinner date. Very old and charming restaurant and cozy too. There is plenty of public parking in the back. We had ordered hot and sour soup, spring rolls, and chow fun. Finally, hot sour soup which has sour in it and also for spice they are using green chili, so it taste different from other Chinese restaurants and we loved it. Spring rolls were made with fresh vegetables and disappeared fast, even before I could take a snap Chow fun, we had asked to make it spicy, perfectly made and again the vegetables were fresh . In short, it was Juicy, saucy, and not greasy! The service was great, too. It was a busy time, so little wait but otherwise I am happy I found a good Chinese restaurant finally. Also, economical and enough food on plates, unlike other restaurants, which uses shallow plates, which looks like a lot of food but not real. This restaurant will be easy on your wallet, too. Only if it was in South Bay...
