This spot is serving some SERIOUSLY Delicious Chinese food. I was honestly so impressed when I stopped by in December of 2024. Came by on a Monday around 6pm for dinner and they were busy! Nice dark ambiance in the resteraunt with booth and table seating. But considering how busy they were, the service was great and our food was out very quickly. We went with the vegetable chow mein and honey walnut shrimp. THEY WERE BOTH INCREDIBLE. The chow mein was a huge portion and very flavorful, a 10/10. The honey walnut shrimp was also a huge portion and considering the price a great deal. The shrimp was of good quality. Overall they have a large extensive menu and serve basically a bit of everything. You gotta check them out it if your in the mood for Chinese. Thanks North China for the great food and hospitality!

I went last week after 1 p.m. The wait was not long when I got seated right away. The server promptly took my order and my food arrived on time.. the table was comfortable and they had Wi-Fi at the restaurant so I didn't ask for the password. Overall, I would give this a rating of 4 stars due to the variety of the menu options.

The food is fantastic. We live in Bakersfield and when we are craving Chinese food we often will make the 2 hour drive. Mushu is one of our favorites and may by far have the best homemade pancakes the sauce the feeling everything is delicious . The staff is amazing and super friendly.

The food is so good! We enjoy it every time we go. The staff is so attentive and friendly always! Restaurant is neat and clean and it actually wasn't packed on a Tuesday night. The dinner entrees are enough to share family style.

We finally made it back after all these years and I just can't say enough about this place. The service was so sweet and friendly. The moment you walk in, you're enveloped with the warmth of hard working crew, wood paneled engraved walls, and food that takes you down memory lane. We had the sizzling rice soup, sweet and sour pork, and Mongolian beef. All my lifelong favorites. This is what I yearned for all these years and finally taking my kids to the place I so enjoyed was getting me all teary-eyed. Places like this just don't exist anymore! I wish I took more photos, but I legit dug right into it. The crisp, the sizzle, lathering of sauce to perfection. What more could I have asked for? The portions were gigantic for the price. Four dishes enough to feed a family of ten with enough to take home. Considering the rampant inflationary food prices these days, I'm not sure I can complain. Even after all these years, this place is spotless which is always comforting to me! No lifeless fish tank out front and the most transparent kitchen in the back even after 13 years!! There weren't stacked open boxed veggies outside of refrigerators in random parts of the kitchen like you might see in a kitchen in the Bay Area. I wish they could all get trained here before they open restaurants. As a fellow Asian I seriously appreciate this! I had hoped the quality would stay the same and now I can say it did AND this has been time tested! I can't think of more than two places across California that serve the authentic Chinese-American food and experience anymore. I hope we don't take this place for granted and I hope this place will stick around for another lifetime. As an Asian-American, this is what I call home.
