I love this place when it comes to Cantonese food; my to go orders that don't fail are Beef Chow Fun and Singapore Chow Mei Fun. It's very fragrant and tasty. Tip: when paying in cash, you get discount. Never dined here, so can't say about their ambiance. I always come here around noon, so their parking situation is always easy. I can tell if they have a full house, parking in their lot would be hard cause it's limited, probably fits about 14 vehicles.

Hits the spot if you are craving Chinese food but nothing extraordinary. Have definetly been to cheaper alternatives with a nicer ambiance and better quality dishes. We ordered a half duck, roast pork, fish and eggplant dish, and mushrooms with green beans. The duck was delicious, same with the roast pork (although on the fattier side). I wouldn't recommend the eggplant dish unless you're into sweet and sour flavors - this was probably our least favorite. The mushrooms and green beans were decent but heavier on the mushrooms. Definetly on the pricier side for a Chinese restaurant but we it was a special occasion so we were okay spending a little more

I'm Cantonese and crave canto food. This place didn't have the wok hei that some other canto places have. Didn't hit the craving I was looking for. The porridge also didn't have too much flavor. The pork in the preserved egg pork porridge tasted more like shredded chicken. The place is clean and spacious.

This is a traditional Chinese restaurant with generous portions. Their Mongolian Beef was very tasty and instead of just onions that many places go overboard with, this also included strips of bell pepper which was a good addition to very tender beef. One of the better Mongolian beef dishes I have had and plenty of beef (other places I have to hunt for the beef under all the pile of onions, so this had plenty of beef!). 4.5 starsDeep fried squid/calamari- like a tempura fried strips and tender calamari with light batter. Served with green onion diced with garlic and served with a vinegary sweet dip-this was very good. 5.0 stars.Yang Chow fried rice-very good 4.5 starsBraised tofu with black mushrooms-I really liked this dish as the tofu was crispy on the outside but soft and pillowy and tender inside. The tofu melted in my mouth and the sauce gravy was so good. One of the best I have tried with this particular dish. My brother was complaining not enough mushrooms-sheepishly I told him I think I ate most of them-lol! This was a pretty hearty dish for a vegetarian dish. 5.0 starsChinese broccoli (guilan)-can't go wrong here(unless overcooked) it tastes like the typical guilan dish. On point-5 stars-made perfectly.Chow fun with scrambled eggs and shrimp-this is my Uncle's favorite dish here. I love chow fun normally, but I don't normally like it with scrambled eggs-think it is a texture thing for me. So I did not even eat it but my uncle thinks it is a 5 star normally. For me, I wouldn't order it even if i visited without my uncle-just did not look appealing to me-like a mess to me,Clay pot with seasonal vegetables and seafood- this was ok-I am not really into seafood, tofu was good. 3 stars for me, but the rest really liked it.So averaged 4.5(not quite 5)-this is just good, solid, traditional real Chinese food with big portions still. The dishes ranged from 18.95-20.95 with seafood dishes around 28.95.

In an era of expensive food everywhere (thank you rampant inflation and government entities underreporting to save face), more affordable eats are often hard to find. Chinese food is definitely one of those cuisines with better bang for your buck and this place is authentic, tasty, has good "wok hay", and delivers a good value! Another bonus is this place has one of my childhood favorites: HK Style Sweet & Sour Spareribs ("Ging Doh Pai Gwat")! SCORE! Kids also love their noodles which makes this a family favorite.

We came here to celebrate my mom's birthday and the Mid-Autumn Festival with family! I love that they allow reservations, so we got seated right on time despite the busy Saturday night crowd. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, including seafood soup, lobster with e mein, salted egg fried fish, walnut shrimp, sweet and sour pork, BBQ pork, Peking duck, and sautéed pea sprouts. They also gave us complimentary red bean soup for dessert. The food portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fast, even though the restaurant was packed. We'll definitely return to try more Cantonese dishes. Just a heads-up: parking is limited, so you might need to find street parking. Ambiance is causal.

I regularly dine at the Santa Clara Cooking Cooking restaurant. This cozy spot serves up authentic Hong Kong-style dishes, and is one of my top choices for Chinese comfort food.The menu is a true homage to Hong Kong flavors, with everything from wok-fried chow mein to BBQ pork and duck that are to die for.For this evening, the order was beef chow fun with gravy, braised tofu, black mushroom & seasonal vegetable and the standout Fook-Kin fried rice.--simply delicious!The service is always fast, friendly and attentive whether dining in or ordering to go. They clearly know their regulars, and it's easy to see why people come back. The vibe is casual but welcoming, making it perfect for a relaxed meal with family or friends.If you're looking for a taste of Hong Kong food, Cooking Cooking is your place. Highly recommend checking it out, especially if you're into Cantonese flavors.

Just had my second visit to Cooking Cooking, and it was fantastic! I've been craving their Peking duck, and it didn't disappoint. The duck was crispy, not too salty, and the meat was tender. Their soft buns were the perfect match.We also tried the kung pao chicken, spare ribs in honey chili sauce, seafood fried rice, and stir-fried assorted vegetables. The spare ribs were a favorite--they were fried perfectly, and the sauce was just right.The complimentary tea and dessert were a nice touch. The tea helped with digestion, and the red bean soup for dessert was just sweet enough.What's more, their service was lightning fast, and I loved how they had extendable tables. We ordered so much food that we were running out of space, but the table extensions came to the rescue!Overall, a great dinner experience. Can't wait to go back for more!

Came here on a Sunday, right when they opened. Accessibility- handicap parking right in the front. It is a small parking lot. Service- very efficient and quick.Food- ordered - House special pan fried noodles: very authentic Cantonese "jeen mein." Had chicken, fish, cha siu and even scallops. -Roast pork: the skin was perfect, nice and crispy -shrimp won ton noodle soup: I would skip it next time. Not enough shrimp in the wontons. And noodles not as chewy as I would like it. Return Factor- yes to try their other roast items

Initially hesitant to revisit this restaurant after it transitioned from Cooking Papa, a longtime favorite spot for good Chinese cuisine, my wife was craving for honey walnut prawns and duck . so it prompted us to give this place another try since we were close by. To our surprise , the dishes were just as delicious as we remembered from our Cooking Papa days. The beef chow fun, Szechuan beef, roast duck, and honey walnut prawns were all great! . We also ordered a wonton noodle soup to go, eager to see if it lives up to our expectations. Despite our overall positive experience, the only drawback was the relatively small portion size of the half roast duck, particularly given its price. Nevertheless, we will definitely will be returning for more.
