Open late ! Best healthy, fast, cheap option in town . Funky/hippie atmosphere. Awesome vegetarian and meat options. Literally can't go wrong.
Gado Gado , Charlie’s chow mein , Spicy Dans peanut delight are all so good. Pair any of these with a tiger beer . Oh and the Szechuan mushroom medley sandwich is bomb too
I luv CHK, eat here 1-2 times/wk & am the Mayor BUT ironically I think the vegetables are the least great items. Best is the salmon , rice & sauces. Vegetable medley is worst. But I LOVE CHK!
This Tuesday we satisfied our craving for Asian food . Generally they offer vegan food but I rather accidentally got the baked tofu which I did enjoy a fair bit. Always open to new experiences! 👌🏼
A lunch favorite. Any of their rice bowls are great, like their hoisin pork rice bowl . Also the Pad Thai is great and their sandwiches are amazing as well !
Satisfying noodles with healthy veggies mixed in. All noodle dishes are vegan to start and then they’re not when you add the recommended hoisin pork .
Excellent food and take out . Try the chicken 🍗 and the pork , else the shrimps . Fast and nice service
HOISIN PORK !!!!! This place rocks. Try all the bowls, South East Asian flavors with a Californian twist.
I love the spicy Dan with rice not egg noodles and a top of hoisin pork . It’s the only time I eat pork , it’s soooo good!
Chaing Mai noodles with an added side of vegetables is perfect for two! You can also opt for gluten free noodles 💕
Spicy Dan 's peanut delight and some of the fall-apart tender hoisin pork hit the spot
Get the Hoisin pork on anything and you won't be disappointed. Suggested dish: Pad Thai .
Peanut sauce noodles with some tofu ! Yum!
Particularly great for vegetarians , but the meat options are also quite good.
Gluten free options available on most dishes. Spicy or not, as you like.
Nice alternative music selection can be heard here. On a recent lunch visit I heard José Gonzaléz, modest mouse and Broken Bells
My favorite fast food stop in town ! Need something fast and healthy? Stop here for a noodle or rice bowl , or a salad .
Great gluten free and vegan options . Organic and green. Try the gado gado with zucchini topping.
Chicken teriyaki bowl is on point. Add sriracha to it!
Seasonal treat : spicy garlic green beans . They are delicious - get them!!
The gado gado is fabulous with tofu or prawns , and sub brown rice or noodles for yummy combo
Such a wonderful gem in Santa Cruz!
The mint limeade is delicious and refreshing.
Get Dan's spicy and add pork . Done.
Hong Kong? More like we don't know what to call it so Hong Kong sounds East Asian .
The hoisin pork ... Oh my. SO GOOD
Teriyaki chicken salad special is awesome!
Great spot for vegan food !
I always get the Laughing Phoenix with hoisin pork ..... yum!
Had the red curry Phoenix. No red curry taste , no flavor at all and it was cold... Ive had it before but this time was bland ....
The first panda I've come across that's stingy with their portion sizes - Nataly
vegans: this is a veg friendly menu. They have mock chicken which is desirable because it's got more protein than tofu.. Try the eggplant curries🌶 or chow fun rice noodles‼️ ask for Singapore style! - Athonia Cappelli
try this modification: Singapore noodles, hold the egg and chicken/shrimp. Have them substitute veggies or tofu. Singapore is a curry sauce. ask for it poured over the wide chow fun rice noodles. - Athonia Cappelli
Awesomely small place to see acts that would otherwise be playing way bigger places. Saw Jeff Mangum and James Blake here and it was fantastic. Easy seating, nice atmosphere and easy parking around. - Roy Scopazzi
We love the boardwalk. There is food places inside. (try the funnel cakes), nice restrooms, And some fun rides. Try the historical great dipper roller coaster. Its the 5th oldewr coaster. 😁 - Chloe Wohlers
Fantastic house made ice cream joint. Burned marshmallow fluff as a topping! - Christian Herman
