Savory broth with vegetables, shrimp, and chicken, topped with crispy sizzling rice for a delightful texture contrast.

"You can eat inside here right now. The restrictions have not yet been implemented here in South San Francisco. There's typically seating here available, occasionally you may have to wait for 7 to 10 minutes. The spacing for the seating is accurate and to code. There are restrooms available and a parking lot. It is handicap accessible. The food here is maybe a 3.5 out of 5 for dim sum. However I should point out I have a very refined palate. It would most likely be a 4.5 out of 5 for most. The pricing is very affordable here and the staff is very friendly. Occasionally it might be hard to get a refill of tea but it's understandable seeing the volume of orders they have to make. In a day the chef told me they make over 4,000 orders. This is a very popular takeout and delivery location as well as dining in. I typically like to eat their deep fried noodles or an organ dish, but for the less brazen customers I recommend just ordering dumplings."

"I am so happy with Simon's Chinese! I only wish i lived closer so they could deliver to me! I have tried a little of everything on their menu and have never been let down! I give it a 10 out of 10, 100%, thumbs up for the great service, food, and atmosphere! After I was there for a third time they remember me and chatted with me like i was a friend; how touching! their average wait-time for pick-up is 10 minutes! WOW! it takes me longer to get there! even by the time I get the food, drive home, get the plates and forks to eat with the family, sit down, i burn my tongue on the food every time! I can't wait to go back next week :"

"Probably the best Chinese food in town. And I only say probably because I haven 't been to all the Chinese restaurants in Ann Arbor. Out of all the places I 've tried, this is our new family favorite. The sweet sour tofu was incredibly crispy but super soft inside, the sesame tofu was also still soft on the inside but chewy on the outside (other places sometimes cook it too much, so it gets too dry). The vegetables in the lo mein and veggie spring rolls were super fresh and still crunchy, so good! We saw them make the vegetable spring rolls from scratch and they tasted awesome. We want to order more mixed vegetable dishes next time because the veggies are so fresh and perfectly cooked here. The food was very flavorful, the portions generous, the owners are very friendly and sweet. We wish we had discovered this place sooner and feel so lucky we finally did. We plan to be back."

"reasons for low rating:1. to salty any dish and unnecessary vinegar.2 slow service (15 min before the first court, and 30 min before all directed), but a mandatory 15% service fee.3 even if the service fee is included, still has left an option for tips. this is not correct, let us honestly customer = and here is something very personal. we visited this restaurant a year ago, this place was superrrr good. great courts, great service, friendly staff and reasonable price. we came to this restaurant 2 times in 2 days and had great memory. once we came after the surf and were super hungry and got incredibly satisfied with the dressed here. only today we have the opportunity to visit santa cruz again, and we came directly into this restaurant. but everything has changed in a terrible way. I don't know what it did so differently, because the menu is exactly what we were given 1 year ago. I feel very sad about this change, I hope it's just because it's the 4th. juli holiday is caused by sub-size. not give a star because I still hope that they can get back the original quality. sincere"

"Shan dong represents an excellent combination of taste and value that they have fantastic food for a good price, and you will be a great experience while you are here. I will not go through the specifics too much time, but I will recommend going with a good size group, and order a number of dishes so you can share them family style and really get to experience a lot of different varieties. When I stopped by Shan Dong with a group of 7 friends, we ordered a number of different dishes, had a lot to eat (and even some extras at the end), and all said, I think we spent less than $25 each. The hand pulled noodles are a must have Shan dong does a good job with them! Overall, highly recommend Shan dong, it is absolutely worth a try!"

"We ordered the vegan BBQ pork buns (with meatless chicken), the turnip cakes with meatless chicken, braised tofu with bok choy, and the mandarin eggplant with meatless chicken. The food was delicious. Good vegan turnip cakes can be really hard to find and these had great texture and flavor from the meatless chicken. The BBQ pork buns were good but not the same level as we’ve had in NYC. The braised tofu had amazing texture and came with some really flavorful mushrooms. The mandarin eggplant was my partner’s favorite. It was very flavorful but not very spicy. I would definitely come back. #Veganuary Protip: if you order vegan buns, make sure they have a red dot. They accidentally brought us animal parts the first time but then corrected the mistake. Updated from previous review on 2024-01-29"

"My family and I frequent this restaurant often, so I was surprised to see no reviews. We are big fans of their hot and sour soup and chow mein. We have ordered a variety of dishes as some of us are vegetarian and others are not, but we always enjoy everything we get. The lunch specials are a great deal, although the portions are on the smaller side. The brown rice side dish we chose left us with plenty to take home. The decor is charming, creating a peaceful atmosphere despite some noise from other conversations. The staff is friendly and attentive, aiming to please. This restaurant is perfect for lunch, dinner, or a date night. I highly recommend trying the Asian fusion and traditional Chinese dishes, as everything is delicious and beautifully presented."

"We ordered a large amount of food for our daughter's birthday through their website. It was a busy Saturday evening, so it took longer than expected. However, when they brought out our order, they apologized and gave us an extra item, which was a pleasant surprise. The food was delicious as usual. The only minor issue was deciding on the spiciness level, as it was unclear if 1 or 5 was hotter. We chose 2 and found it to be plenty spicy, which we enjoyed. We highly recommend Dragon's Pond. One tip for those picking up food is to be aware that there are many restaurants with outdoor dining on Lotus, which may limit parking. You may need to park in the garage across the street, which was free as of 11/15/2020. Enjoy!"

"No way, buy the ticket take the ride. First and last time. Pot stickers were OK. Chow mein bad, house chicken bad, some meat thing we had bad. Hot Sour soup good. Service nothing special or memorable. Delivery seems to be the thing here. Basically only been here this one time. If your house chicken is blah then try something dont just leave it that way. Delivery delivery delivery"

"The food was decent. I had the garlic chick’n. The flavor was pretty good, but the mock chicken was very rubbery and not the best texture. The vegetable tempura roll was very good! Portions were a good size, too. There is a small sign out front with a list of vegan options, including the mock meats (chicken, beef, duck). My specific server did not know what I was talking about when I mentioned the mock meats, but the chefs did and seemed pretty well-versed in veganism and communicated options very well. The server DID know what vegan meant, though; when I asked about vegan options, she’s mentioned that they can prepare dishes cooked with water, without chicken broth, without meat, and without egg. They only had the mock chicken when I was there and not the mock beef or duck. Overall, pretty good but not my favorite. I would rather go to Vegreen if I have the option!"

"The sushi and appetizers were acceptable, but the main courses were disappointing. To make matters worse, we found hair in our food—not just once, but twice, and it wasn’t ours. They were kind enough to remove the meal from our bill, but we still don’t plan on returning. The restaurant's atmosphere was quite loud and echoey. The group sitting behind us was particularly rowdy, yelling curse words, which made for an unpleasant dining experience. While I understand that it’s not the restaurant's fault, the narrow layout amplified the noise, making it annoying. What really crossed the line, though, was when the owner, while serving drinks to another table behind us, loudly asked one of the customers, “So, were you a virgin when you met him?” I had two minors with me, and regardless of her relationship with the customers, that comment was entirely inappropriate—not just for kids to hear, but for everyone in the vicinity. Overall, the experience was very disappointing, and we won't be returning."

"I love this place!!! It's close to where I live now (just recently I moved to Lincoln City), and I was thrilled to find a Chinese restaurant that was actually open until 10 am! Most of the restaurants here near earlier, unless there is a bar that also serves food (and some are all right). It is also located directly opposite the street of DeLake Beach, which is beautiful. I arrived at 9:00 and sat right away. The guy who sat me was very nice, and immediately brought me water and a pot of hot tea (they do not charge for tea on the way). The menu showed quite a lot of variety and I loved all meal options, also for dinner. I have the #11 with shrimp, rice, pork and almond chicken, and it was delicious. The ambience in the restaurant was welcoming and comfortable. I felt like I finally found a place where I could hang around for a long time and swallowed hot tea and nobody would mind. This is the kind of space. I'm sure I'm back and I'll bring friends and family when they visit me!"

"Definitely stop here! These Fine people have been in this location. For many many years. The man up front said he had been there for 30 some years. My waitress. Miss May. Was very very nice and accommodating. Was very pleasant professional helpful and well spoken. With a very heavy Mandarin accent of course. Which only adds to the authenticity of the restaurant for me. She has been here for 17 years. I asked for some suggestions on what to have from some other patrons. That had been coming here for several years themselves. They told me. What I absolutely! Love to hear someone say. Everything! Is good here. They both said. So I went for the traditional. Yes! You guessed it. General Tso's. Pork fried rice hot and spicy soup with an egg roll. Dr Pepper to drink. Miss may. My waitress. Brought me some Wasabi sauce that she makes special. Along with some other pineapple tasting sauce that is made in house also. Delicious! Will definitely. Definitely! Be returning soon. Really love the decor. The tables are very elegant and classy.. the pictures do not do this place Justice. Bathrooms were very nice and clean. But the people definitely were amazing. You will not regret stopping here for sure. I will say a prayer for each and everyone of you. I hope your travel is safe. God bless you and yours. Thanks for helping me make it to the top 10% of Google reviewers. And thank you for now making me one of the top 10% of Chinese restaurant reviewers."

"Don't be fooled by the appearance of this place. I came here for the first time the other day and kinda was taken aback by how it looked a little run down. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how their menu offered soooo many options. It was almost overwhelming because there were so many different entrees to choose from. If you're Korean, they also have a Korean menu too. Food was excellent! Wow we were all pleasantly surprised by how everything we ate was tasty. My favorite was probably their eggplant dish with a garlicky sauce. Omg I kept dreaming about that when I got home. The owners are really sweet people and they will try their best to accommodate to your interests. I highly recommend this Chinese restaurant in town. It is probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in all of C-U."
