We were excited to try the food after seeing the good reviews. I picked up our usual order (makes it easy to compare across Chinese restaurants). Sadly, we were disappointed with the food. The moo shu was bland with watery sauce that was at the bottom of the container. The pancakes with it were store-bought and fell apart easily. The pot stickers were very doughy with a sausage-like filling. All in all we will not be back here.

We had such a great experience at Guang Zho on Portola Drive! The food was delicious, full of flavor, and served in portions that feel incredibly generous. Dishes like the chow mein, combination fried rice, and Snowpea Chicken are standouts—fresh, comforting, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood Chinese spot. The staff is welcoming and kind. It’s the place you return to because everything tastes just right. A true Santa Cruz gem for anyone craving tasty, satisfying Chinese food.

Food was exactly what I was looking for. Service, she was spot on. Checking in with every table, taking orders, making no jokes, etc. Definitely had a polite small town feel. Hunan beef was nice, crispy and just spicy enough. Chow mein chicken and eggs rolls were perfect. I asked for every spicy sauce they had. Chili oil/spices was classic and deliciously delicious. Their other version of a thick spicy sauce was 🔥🔥🔥Not too hot but super tasty! Eggs rolls were nice and crispy. Definitely coming back. Thank you!!!

Best take out Chinese food place in the area! Food was quick, fresh, and large portions. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. This is right next to the 7-11 on Portola. They have lunch and dinner specials. Pictured: egg rolls and lunch special with fried rice and orange chicken. Everything was delicious! Can't wait to go back and try more rems on their menu!

We ordered General Toa Spicy chicken + fried rice with chicken + beef in Black Bean Sauce -and it was all SOO DELICIOUS!! Quality wise but also the way that the tastes were balanced. Very kind and dedicated staff, which is always a nice extra. My husband and I eat a lot of Chinese food all over the world so we're not pleased that easily because of the many many many Chinese dishes we've had throughout the years and continents but this place really deserves the spotlight.
