    We came here because we were craving some Chinese. We ordered the vegetarian pot stickers that were SO GOOD. I ordered the mixed seafood platter with grilled veggies and my boyfriend ordered a spicy Thai fried rice.

    Both entrees were delicious and we even had leftovers because they portions were so big!

    The service was good & the food came out fast.

    We will definitely be back

    First I would say that the staff was very nice and professional but otherwise I was not that impressed.

    The food is good with small portions and very high prices for what they give you.If you charge high prices atleast give the customer what they pay for meaning a good healthy portion of food.
    Get with the program and stop being cheap when your charging high
    tap soda prices and don't give free soda refills.Water refills yes,but
    charge cheap prices for the soda if you going to be so frugal and not
    give free refills on what probably costs you 5 cents in tap soda.
    I had the Chicken egg fuyoung ne night and it was not impressive and I went out elsewhere an hour later the portion was so cheap.

    I say go elsewhere unless the faker smile while cleaning out your wallet
    is your thing.

    As another reviewer remarked, this is a surprising rating. Well, maybe it is a 4.8 because of the weird parking lot -- at first glance all the slots are green, there is a 30 minute sign on one side of the row, and a sign at the exit saying if you walk off the lot your car will be towed.  There is actually some normal parking.

    The food is phenomenal.  I particularly love yakisoba, and most places get it wrong. This place gets it right.  The bento boxes are good, and a companion had the salmon and it was cooked correctly with good crispy skin. The ramen is good, the dim-sum plate was good if not quite equal to a real place with carts.

    Usually a place with such a big menu does a poor job.  I am just so pleased to have found such a gem in a strip mall in La Mesa.

    The service was first-rate.

    Great service and food--I love using yelp to find a good restaurant and this was another good find--Mongolian beef/pan fried noodle/walnut shrimp/wor won ton soup hit the spot--we'll be back again soon--noticed they had bento boxes for lunch --wish it was lunchtime

    Honestly I was very shocked with how good this place is!! The Pad Thai was perfect, some of the best I've found in SD.
    All the other entree's were surprisingly good, I didn't see it coming!! Where did this gem come from without my notice..
    La Mesa has one fine Asian fusion spot!! Food quality was the highlight. Pretty normal ambiance and service.
    I'll back many times and I'll continue to post the entree's. Obviously I think this place is pretty great food wise, the ambiance is somewhat standard, the service standard.
    Come check it out, this place surprised me and I eat Asian food all the time, in this area it's not easy to find a place this good
    Happy eating!!
