Best WLM Reviews

Hands down one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. The moment you arrive you nicely greeted with a nice welcome.
If you are a meat lover or seafood lover you are in the right place. The portions are very good size.
The Walnut Shrimp is tasted so good, it is the best in the San Diego! And the Fry rice , Chicken Wings Is every good too.
My favorite Chinese restaurant in San Diego hands down the best authentic Chinese food.
The place was very clean and that was nice, but our server seemed to just be in a very angry mood. I told her I needed a table for 4 and was told to sit anywhere so I did- but apparently, I sat at the wrong table? She had us move and was fine but she didn't even bring us menus for over 10 mins and when she did she just dropped them and walked away and didn't return to take out drink or food order until we flagged her down- and that was the only time she checked on our table.
The quality of the food was an issue all on its own. We ordered beef and broccoli (the "beef" was rancid and just felt like pieces of tendon, not meat. The baby corn and broccoli both tasted like dirty dosh water so that entire plate was entirely inedible and a waste of money. We also ordered orange chicken- which initially tastes good until you realize it's not real chicken and the inside more resembles tofu. We have up on trying to eat a few bites in and pushed our food to the side and waited about 15 minutes for our check even making wye contact with our server and eventually decided that maybe we have to go to the counter to pay so we got up and she rushed towards us telling us to sit back down, handing us the check. By that point, I was nauseous and annoyed so I left my husband to pay. I really wish we would have sponen to a manager because we didn't eat any of the meal. It really was the most disgusting food we have paid for.
Ordered the lunch, half chow mien and half orange chicken. The place is nice but honestly the food wasn’t the best. The chow mien was burned and tasted weird. The Orange Chicken didn’t have any flavor, very bland. First and last time coming to this place.
Sadly I hardly dine south of the 905 and this new to me Chinese restaurant in San Ysidro has the Kung Pow chicken the way I like it. Everything I ate there this first time around was from like 8 different dishes (shared many with family). I didn't take any pictures but will next time... I ordered the Cantonese Shrimp which was very tasty along with the nicely bright green broccoli. Topped it off with a Thai tea that was also nice. Looking forward to trying other dishes next time.
Went to go have dinner there the other day with my wife super super good. A must have is salt and pepper chicken wings pork fried rice whatever else you desire because it's all good ????
Great food maybe better bathrooms? The door don’t lock and can be opened by anyone so that’s the only thing but the food, service and atmosphere are great.
With great disappointment I have to share my experience. I have always come here for their amazing Chinese food. However lately I've been seeing people saying that they found roaches on their food. I didn't want to believe it until it happened to someone I know. I have filed a grievance with the health department. I have also added two other pictures from other customers with similar experiences.
