The orange chicken was white meat, which is honestly very rare these days. Very tasty Chinese food! I enjoyed it.
By the way, they don't have Sriracha, which got me a little disappointed. So next time I'll bring my bucket of Sriracha.

Nice corner spot with big bay windows to people watch while sitting comfortably inside.
Food came fast. I was in and out in 20 minutes, tops. But I could've stayed. It wasn't terribly busy while I was there, maybe 5 tables, I just had somewhere else I had to be.
Portion size is average. The item that stood out to me was the hot n sour soup. It really had a nice smokey savory flavor and the little scallion garnish on top was a great burst of flavor that complimented the base of the soup perfectly. Was really impressed with the soup. I ordered fried rice with my kung pao chicken. Fried rice was a little dry but not bad. The main entree was just average to me. I've had better but I've also had worse.
Overall was not bad. Price was reasonable for that area and place was clean and service was friendly. (Noted : my criticism for these types of Chinese restaurants is high since I make a point to try them whenever and wherever I see one. I've been to over 40 in Southern California. )

My wife and I enjoyed lunch yesterday at Shanghai Pine Garden and the food was great. We had pot stickers as our appetizer and followed with Mushu Pork and Orange Chicken and white rice. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent. We will be back to try some of their many other dishes.

Great service and super clean. Fast and delicious. One of the the best Asian food places we’ve been to. Highly recommend it if you’re visiting Balboa Island and feel like eating a hefty portion of good comfort food.

Orange chicken is very good. Over the past 10 years the quality of the food has improved. Dining area is typical and basic.

The food here is excellent, very fresh and tasty. The service is good. The waitresses are very nice and speedy brain your food out. The atmosphere is so so. But because it's on Bella Island it's a nice location.

Honestly the best Chinese food in the area. They give you real, white meat chicken and don’t over-fry or cook their meats and veggies. I’m a regular!

We have been in this restaurant before. Only ever for dining in.
Simple menu with great choices.
We did go two nights in a row.
The first night we had a nice table at the window. And our meal was served very fast. And delicious....
But that evening it seemed that everything to do with take out orders we a big shamble. Lots of unhappy customers and extremely long delays.
The second night we had made a reservation. And again our food was served promptly. And another delight.
Whenever back on Balboa Island we will have another meal (or two) here...

Average Chinese food. Fried rice is basically steamed rice with some diced veg thrown in. Sweet and Sour Pork is good, but nothing special. Nothing was bad, it's just that nothing wowed me. Lunch specials go until 5pm which is nice.

The prices are quite nice and the food is basic but good. For European People: the fried rice with chicken = Nasi Goreng Chicken

Excellent sit-down Chinese cuisine right on Marine Ave in Balboa. I've been going here for years and it's always delicious, top quality Chinese. Perfect for a couple or a whole family to share dishes. Staff is very friendly, I've always had a great experience here. And very reasonable prices, considering the quality and location.

Awesome, truly delicious & satisfying Chinese food (& great service, too). We placed a very large order and were delighted when we arrived to pick it up that it was ready with sauces on side (as requested).
The employees were very helpful and accommodating of several "special requests"... My group & I are all Total Foodies, & we all agreed our choices were all delicious! Thank you!
