This place is quite literally heaven on earth. That’s it. From the moment you walk in the women here treat you like family. It doesn’t end there though, the pork belly, the fried fish, the pork belly buns, and even the green beans ALL exceptional! I will continue to come here time and time again because there is truly nothing like don ting spring and I hope they never leave!

When the restaurant first opened up, we loved going there. Food has authentic flavor but the dishes are pricey for the portion and the quality of ingredients. We still were willing to pay because of the flavor and the friendly atmosphere (back then). About 2 years ago, we placed a large catering order (over $300). On the pickup day, we even paid cash to help eliminate the cc processing fee. For whatever reason, the owner was extremely rude. Brought out the food but barely acknowledged us. No greeting, no “thank you”, not even eye contact. The only thing she said was “I don’t think you will need utensils”. When we said we actually did, she grabbed a few and threw them on the counter. When we asked for napkins, she looked extremely annoyed and grabbed a couple from under the cashier. And most of them had food stain on them. After that she disappeared into the kitchen and wouldn’t come back out. We were so puzzled as to why being treated like this after we gave them the catering business. Ever since then, we have never gone back and will not recommend it to anyone. Weee! (online Asian food delivery) also delivers restaurant quality dishes right to your door with exceptional customer service. It makes no sense to us to spend top dollars to get treated like dirt.

Absolutely delicious. Incredible service. Kind staff and surprisingly fast kitchen. Everything we ate was soul warming and portioned. I can’t wait to come back and am so happy this was close to where we live and we don’t have to go all the way to the SGV.

You need to try their the most delicious authentic Chinese dishes. We had: braised pork belly, stirred fried Chinese lettuce, dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, Hunan style fried rice, Shu Mai, and pumpkin donuts for dessert. Portions are a bit small, but all tasty. Prices are fair and excellent service. Highly recommend!

Ended up here after it was recommended to me by a friend of mine whom hails from Shanghai. If a Chinese person recommends a Chinese food restaurant, you go. I was not disappointed. Place was excellent. Full disclosure, I picked up a to-go order but the restaurant looked clean and orderly. The staff that helped me out was beyond friendly and made sure I had everything I ordered and needed. They have two “menus” to choose from. One is what they call “Traditional Hunan Gourmet” where they seem to have what you would consider traditional Chinese food from China. The other menu is what they call “New Style Chinese” and from the looks of it, it’s the stuff you would find at a certain fast casual strip mall establishment. I had the stir fried pork with fresh bamboo shoots from the traditional menu, some chicken eggrolls, and a combo fried rice. WOW! Soooooo good. The flavor of this food took me back to the 1st time I had tried Chinese food as a little boy when there was only 1 Chinese food establishment in the city. This is legit Chinese food. Wish I had taken some pictures but didn’t think of it until afterwards. Nowadays, it seems harder and harder to find just basic “home cooked” tasting this-is-exactly-how-mom-used-to-make type of restaurant food. I will certainly be back.

Best dumplings I’ve had outside of Taiwan. Lovely, gracious, kind staff. Easy self-select menu on an ipad (BEST ordering experience!!!). Clean, distinct flavors. Gorgeous food. Wonderful variety of options. Traditional favorites and unique home made dishes. Mix of round tables for large groups and small square tables for up to 4 people. Setting was comfortable, cheerful, just right. Already made plans to go back. You can make reservations, which I didn’t know. Definitely do that if you’re going with a group.

Since we are not familiar with Hunan, the waitress explained in detail those we have ordered. All dishes are very delicious. I can’t stop eating even though i am already full–a first for me. The cold chicken with chili sauce was ordered to be less spicy. It is perfect to our taste. The chow mien is fresh and was told the noodle is home made. The broccoli chicken is also delicious and neither spicy nor salty. Lastly, the roasted duck is soft and juicy on top of halfy cooked cabbage. Its sauce is yummy, a perfect match to the duck.
Definitely, we will return each time we are in Thousand Oaks. Good thing our hotel Hampton Inn by Hilton is a walking distance to this restaurant.

Authentic Chinese Food, great staff, and super friendly staff. The Hunan inspiration means almost everything has a spicy kick. Don’t let this scare you away because the staff is very helpful in adjusting the spice level to your preference. We had the Shumai, BBQ Buns, Braised Pork Thigh, Fried Green Beans and the Pepper Beef. This IS NOT typical fast food style Chinese food. This is an authentic, family style, Chinese cuisine made when you order and worth every penny.

Clean place, large portions, and tasty food. Fried rice, dumplings, duck, and appetizers were all very good.

The service was terrible. The waitress walked in with no expression—looked miserable—and didn’t greet us at all. After dropping off the food, she just sat there on her phone. No check-ins, no refills, nothing. The vegetables looked old and not fresh, and the meat was tough and overcooked. For the price, you’re honestly better off going to Panda Express. Worst of the worst Chinese restaurant we had in life . Good luck fellows
