“ Hole in the wall Chinese restaurant that if you were to drive by, you'll miss it. Located in Woodhams plaza, this Chinese restaurant has a delicious line up of your normal Chinese comfort dishes...BUT my favorite of all is the Mongolian Beef here. The ratio of beef to onions is tremendous. Other places...have so much green onions/onions...not at Lock Chun! TONS of beef here...TONS in the Mongolian Beef! Highly recommended!!! ”

“ Came for a nice little dinner. His birthday and he decided at last minute he wanted Mu Shu Pork. The restaurant was clean and not busy at all. We were sat at the table and had a nice dinner of hot and sour soup, mu shu pork, fried rice, pot stickers and shrimp with lobster sauce. The food was very good. Service was great. It was a nice surprise for us (our first trip here and looking for a new place since our last "regular" place closed. We will come back! ”
“ They have wonderful customer service, very prompt to greet customers. I have had some errors with my orders however they are persistent to correct it when I kindly mention it. I really enjoy their kung pao chicken/vegetable and vegetables egg rolls! They are a little pricey however their undeniable flavor, and proportions are the reasons why! I love eating here and I would too everyday if my budget permitted! They have wonderful lunch prices! Try it out! ”
“ In this current world of dumpling, hot pot, trendy Asian food... it's nice to have a go-to traditional Chinese spot, that is NOT Panda Express . They do Chinese food right, and everything is delicious. I love this place. ”
“ What a pleasant surprise! VERY tasty, clean, well prepared Chinese food. We came from Santa Cruz to buy musical equipment and discovered Lock Chun. The service was excellent and friendly. Portions are larger than many other restaurants. Pleasant ambiance in a modest space too. Good parking and easy to get to on Steven's Creek Blvd. I ordered more to take home after our meal. Definitely going back. ”
“ In our household, it's a tradition to grab some American-Chinese food on Dec.26. We don't have a special place we go to and sometimes some of our experiences end up in disappointment. Luckily, and thanks to Yelp recommendations, Lock Chin did not disappoint. There is plenty of parking in the shopping plaza, but the restaurant itself is on the small to medium side (maybe around 10 tables). Walking in, we saw 4 other parties seated (guess we all had the same idea). There was nobody at the reception area but a woman quickly emerged from the back and seated us right away. I was craving sweet-sour pork and when I spotted it on their lunch menu, I was sold. The lunch comes with soup of the day, egg roll, your choice of rice/noodles and the entree. With prices averaging around $15, that's a steal. Soup of the day happened to be one of my favorites: hot and sour. I was surprised by how generous the portion was and by the amount of ingredients in this "free" soup. Usually you will find one bamboo shoot and maybe a strip of tofu, but this was stacked. Honestly, I would come back just for this soup. I ended up getting my pork with friend rice. The pork was juicy, the batter had the perfect amount of thickness to keep it crunchy (even drenched in yummy sauce), and the portion was big enough to take home. The fried rice was great too. I was super happy and satisfied. The egg roll was pretty bland and I probably wouldn't order it as an appetizer, but since it was free I can't complain. Overall, I was super happy with this choice and this may become our go-to going forward. ”
