Mencius' Gourmet Hunan Restaurant

My experience at Mencius was truly outstanding, and it definitely deserves a full five stars. From the moment I walked in, everything felt warm, welcoming, and organized — but the real highlight was the food. Every dish was absolutely delicious, full of rich flavor, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. You can taste the care that goes into their cooking, and it shows in every bite. What really impressed me was the lunch special. It’s not only a great value, but the portions are generous and satisfying. You get a full, flavorful meal without feeling rushed or shortchanged. Everything came out hot, well-seasoned, and perfectly balanced. It’s the kind of lunch that leaves you full, happy, and already planning your next visit. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything

Today was my first time having lunch here at Mencius because I happened to be in the area to run some errands 🏃‍♀️! I was really hungry 😳! So I figured I would stop by and try this place since I was already in this plaza. Being Chinese myself, I have tried many authentic Chinese restaurants in Southern California, where I grew up. I have to admit that I wouldn't consider Mencius to be authentically Chinese food, but more Americanized Chinese food. On a scale of 1 to 5, I would give a 4 for the food quality itself, but a 5 for the excellent customer service 🌟🙂! Overall, my lunch special of the Triple Delight (3 kinds of meat 🥩 🍗 🍤) was delicious 😋 and came with a refreshing iced tea 🍹and a yummy egg roll 🙂! But I also ordered the wonton soup 🍜 and the crab flavor cheese puffs 🦀 🫕 in additi

The food was very good, service was fast and the atmosphere was clean and relaxed. I had so much food with my one order (sesame chicken) that I brought some home. Love the price and that the meal comes with a tea.

This is my go to for Chinese food. The food is always served fresh, hot and delicious. The servings are plentiful. Today we went during the lunch specials which includes free tea. For $11.25, I enjoyed the triple delight that comes with chicken, beef and shrimp as well as mushrooms, carrots and broccoli. All mixed in with some delicious brown spicy sauce. Served with eggroll too. The service is great!

This was good food! I do think the staff could be a little clearer. When offered a drink, I asked a question about options (I can't recall what I specifically asked at this time) and was told they only had iced tea. I thought it was weird but said OK. As I looked at other tables, I saw that they had other options than sweet tea. The tea is gross and unsweetened on top of it. I asked to replace it with a sprite. The waitress kindly made the change and did not charge me any additional, but if you have options, why tell me that you don't? It felt unclear whether or not the waitress fully understood anything I had said until she came back with things. Maybe I didn't understand her? Other than the sweet tea mix-up, everything else was good. The prices are reasonable; the portions are sizeable.
