Jim's - Seaside

This place had one of those OMG moments where I took that first bite and was in heaven! The orange chicken is really something special. Helen is the owner and cook and she has come up with a lemon and orange juice concoction authentic sauce that will knock your socks off. Absolutely amazing. This was THE BEST orange chicken I have ever had.I also ordered the chicken fried rice, which was great and the crab rangoon wontons were awesome as well. Everything is made from scratch and it shows.It was getting close to closing time when I walked in and everyone was very kind to me and said I could sit down and have dinner. I did not have to wait long for the food. The staff was super friendly and I was grateful for that.This place deserves the highest marks possible. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend. Vegetarian options: Noodles, vegetables, sauces, soups, etc. Parking: Around the corner, there is a free parking lot with many spaces. There are a couple of spaces in front of the restaurant as well.

Great place. I ate here twice on my trip to Monterey and the food and service was great both times. Very friendly. Definitely worth a stop

Incredibly sweet family, and wonderful food. They were very welcoming for our 18 month old, it's clear they value family. We ordered take out, and everything is very fresh and flavorful. We'll be back!

Really authentic Cantonese food, the owner even offered us with extra free snacks

I really like this place. The staff and owner are so very nice, but our beef and broccoli order from last night smelled and tasted like fish. We ended up throwing away most all of the food as we couldn't stomach it. Really disappointing.
