Great service and super clean. Fast and delicious. One of the the best Asian food places we’ve been to. Highly recommend it if you’re visiting Balboa Island and feel like eating a hefty portion of good comfort food.Food: 5/5
Nice corner spot with big bay windows to people watch while sitting comfortably inside. Food came fast. I was in and out in 20 minutes, tops. But I could've stayed. It wasn't terribly busy while I was there, maybe 5 tables, I just had somewhere else I had to be. Portion size is average. The item that stood out to me was the hot n sour soup. It really had a nice smokey savory flavor and the little scallion garnish on top was a great burst of flavor that complimented the base of the soup perfectly. Was really impressed with the soup. I ordered fried rice with my kung pao chicken. Fried rice was a little dry but not bad. The main entree was just average to me. I've had better but I've also had worse. Overall was not bad. Price was reasonable for that area and place was clean and service was friendly. Noted : my criticism for these types of Chinese restaurants is high since I make a point to try them whenever and wherever I see one. I've been to over 40 in Southern California.
The food here is excellent, very fresh and tasty. The service is good. The waitresses are very nice and speedy brain your food out. The atmosphere is so so. But because it's on Bella Island it's a nice location.Food: 5/5
My wife and I enjoyed lunch yesterday at Shanghai Pine Garden and the food was great. We had pot stickers as our appetizer and followed with Mushu Pork and Orange Chicken and white rice. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent. We will be back to try some of their many other dishes.
We have been in this restaurant before. Only ever for dining in. Simple menu with great choices. We did go two nights in a row. The first night we had a nice table at the window. And our meal was served very fast. And delicious.... But that evening it seemed that everything to do with take out orders we a big shamble. Lots of unhappy customers and extremely long delays. The second night we had made a reservation. And again our food was served promptly. And another delight. Whenever back on Balboa Island we will have another meal or two here...
Bland food, the lemon chicken was perfectly crunchy but dry, the lemon sauce was bland and needed more lemon flavor, my fried rice had a burnt taste and flakes of burnt black throughout, the flies in here would not leave me alone. I ordered the cream cheese appetizer, the outside wrapping was too thick and had a bad aftertaste, this place use to be superb but is no longer anything but barely average in taste. Very disappointing.
Wow! Who would have thought that you could find authentic and delicious Chinese food on Balboa Island??! The staff is amazing and extremely attentive! Food is FRESH and sooo tasty!

Cute little restaurant on Balboa Island. Withing walking distance of everywhere, well since thr Island is small. Good, standard, Chinese food. Enjoyed the family dinner. Excellent wanton soup! Vegetarian options: Mixed veggies were cooked very well! My wife loved them! Could've used a knife to cut them into smaller pieces.
