My husband and I wanted a special dinner for our anniversary without going to a chain type of restaurant. Since we were visiting the area I searched and found Mee Heng Low/Noodle House. I read the reviews and the little voice in my head said "yes, go here". Well, my little voice was absolutely correct!! The food was amazing, I ordered the Twice Cooked Pork and my husband ordered the Chow Mein with chicken/plum sauce, we also ordered pot stickers and one bao. The flavors created were fantastic! The bao was incredible! The filling was perfectly seasoned and the texture was great. The pot stickers were a great mix of soft/crunchy with a great filling. On to the stars of the show. The Chow Mein was fantastic, with a great presentation and lightly fried noodle base. A unique preparation that really worked. The Twice Cooked Pork was my favorite!!! The pork was seasoned with love and care and very tender, the vegetables tasted fresh and were cut in a way to compliment each bite. If I lived in SLO I would be in trouble because it's that good!!!! The restaurant is small and the menu is limited. We'll, so what. If what you are making is as wonderful as what we ate, I am OK with the menu. Quality over quantity is very true. The food is amazing and the portions were big enough that we had leftovers. We live 5 hours away, and I brought my leftovers home. I just heated up the pork (we were there 2/26/26) and it was still amazing 2 days later! 10/10!!

This is a hidden gem. Purportedly this is the oldest Chinese restaurant in the United States. You’ll find classic old style American Chinese, like chow mein and chop suey alongside bao and dumplings. Everything we had was really well prepared and delicious. The decor is kitsch and has a throw back charm with red lacquer walls sand vintage lighting. We loved the whole experience.

A small hole in the wall restaurant beside the Palm Theater is a good lunch experience. We shared the pot stickers for appetizer which was perfect. My Sai Fun salad was fresh and delicious. I had a side of chicken which was thinly sliced, warm, and slightly crispy. Yummy dish. My friends both had Lo Mein. One had the spicy peanut sauce the other tried the ginger soy. Both dishes were nice portion and deemed very good. The iced tea was very nice.
