Pacific Coast Chinese Food

Probably the most repulsive Chinese I’ve ever had the misfortune of eating. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this place was just a money laundering front. The egg rolls were only semi-​cooked, and cold. The bbq pork had shoe leather consistency, and their other entrees are clearly sitting under heat lamps all day. They also charge $.50 to use a credit card, and have no fountain drinks. Gross. The only miracle is the fact that I did not get food poisoning.

I generally don’t patronize bargain-​basement establishments that charge you to use credit cards, but I was craving Chinese desperately! They kept pushing the fried shrimp so I tried it. It was fried with the shell on – impossible to eat! I had to throw them away. Had I known I wouldn’t have wasted my money! The garlic wings were okay at three for $ 2, but generally speaking, I’d say stay!

Yuck… gross…gag. How anyone could give this place more than 1 star is baffling to me. Their food just sits under the heat lamps all day and it is so beyond salty. I felt like I was eating a fried ball of salt coated in MSG. Rice and noodles were dry and crunchy. Ate 2 forced bites because I was starving and threw the rest out. For the same price as panda express, go there instead.

I am being very generous with my 1 star. Food is greasy and the meat tastes spoiled. The generous portions left quite the impression when I was sitting in my bathroom cleaning out my system. People will tell you to try again, making excuses for the bad experience but I’d rather my last meal something I’d really enjoy. NEVER AGAIN

Beware the fried shrimp! I am ½ Asian, but San Diego born and raised. Maybe my immigrant dad would have loved the friend shrimp here, complete with head, legs and shell, but I didn’t. Especially the first bite of shrimp brains that I wasn’t expecting, then the legs sprouting everywhere. The chow mien was boring and lacking flavor. But everything else including broccoli beef and something that was chicken legs was okay.

Simple inexpensive food! I always think lil «hole in the walls» get a bad wrap because of location or cheap prices. Look, if you want «high end» food with an ambiance w/​prices that match, youre not gonna find it here. What you will find is food is really good food!
This place seats about a dozen people w/​soy sauce on each table. There were 2 couples enjoying their food. This place has been here for a really long time, and will likely withstand most places that have opened and closed over the years in the hood!
I enjoyed my steamed rice, noodles, beef broccoli and bbq pork for under 7 bucks! The food was hot and full of flavor. The owner, a lovely chinese lady was very nice. I will definitely be back when I get the craving for hot, delicious chinese fast food!

Came here for lunch and it was delicious. The woman hooked us up. So I’ll be coming here for my quick fix chinese craving.

I got the #6 orange chicken fried rice chow mein and egg roll… the chicken was hard as a rock rice is tasteless noodles were okay but panda express is better amd the vegetable roll shell was soggy and the inside had actually turned to mush. Disgusting and it was barley even warm. I won’t be going back.

If I could give a zero I would. The place was filthy, all tables were dirty as were all the condiments. I ate in spite of my instincts, and regretted it instantly… to the point of vomitting. If you are craving chinese go the extra few blocks west and eat at wangs.

It’s alright for some quick, no line, no waiting Chinese food but it’s greasy, and the customer service in my experience has been awful. They don’t understand me very well besides yes/​no and what I ordered the older women just piles everything in the middle of the plate and sticked it in the bag. They in recent times have had a new employee which kept it all separate and clean but still similar issues.
The place is dirty but in my experience these kinds of Chinese food places generally are. The place could stand to be cleaned and have less racist staff, I witnessed the older women yelling at a black couple until they left, pretty awful considering they were just eating their food there (Chinese food)
Any questions about my review, my email is

This place is fresh and clean. The food is tasty. Only problem is that almost everything has meat, so I got noodles and fried rice. My honey says the meat items were great. Took one star away for no vegetable only item. Love it though!

Love this place. Food is already made, no waiting and the food is really good. Finally found my regular spot.

I will be the first to admit that I was nervous to try this place… But with a little convincing of my BF, there I was, ordering broccoli beef and brown rice on a Saturday afternoon. The prices are very reasonable and food was tasty! Nothing super special but it is now my go to Chinese palce! Give it a try!
