Forgot to post this after visiting...this place simply caught our eye while searching for food and we're so glad it did. The food was delicious! Fresh and brought out hot and didn't take long. The restaurant wasn't busy though. Good variety of food choices although we mostly weren't sure what to expect since the menu was a bit different from what we're used to, so we ordered combo dishes. Spiciness was on point and will definitely return next time we're in the area. Staff were friendly and patient and there was a non-stop flow of customers picking up to go orders, which was a good sign.

Clean, no frills space, plenty of parking...relaxed atmosphere. We were helped by two lovely ladies, who worked in unison handling all the tables as well as take-out orders. Love how efficient this place is. Food was delicious and served fast and piping hot.... it's not our first time as we've gotten take-out here other times In the past, and each time it's consistently good. We got Korean kimchi dumplings, Kung Pao dumplings, cucumber salad, sesame balls, Kung Pao tofu, Korean fried chicken wings, and also the Nutella banana filled dumplings for dessert. Everything is delicious, crispy, seasoned and flavorful....so many textures to enjoy. The wings are SOOOOO good, they fry them hard and crisp, keeping the meat juicy and flavorful when you bite into them, perfection....bravo to whoever is cooking them bc it's not easy to find good wings/friend chicken in general!!! I can't wait to try more items each time I go, lol I think the next time I'm not feeling well I will try one of their spicy soups!

STOP WASTING TIME BROWSING AND GO HERE. Friends and I drove into town to fish this weekend and wanted something hot on this cold, drizzly Friday night before we have to wake up early. EVERYTHING was delicious. The Szechuan soup was so good but not for the faint of heart spice wise. My favorites were the hot and sour dumpling soup and kimchi dumplings. Mouth is watering as I write this.My friend had the genius idea of ordering sesame balls at the end and I have never had them hot and fresh like that!!

As someone who loves food and flavors I have not found Santa Cruz to be a place with exceptional food options. Most are mediocre at best. However, Chloe’s is definitely an outlier. Their Thai Chili Dumplings are packed with flavor. Once I had their hot and sour soup, I cannot eat hot and sour soup anywhere else because nothing compares. I literally searched for hot and sour soup in San Jose and when I finally found a place it didn’t even come close.Great pricing too. Love this place

Stopped by on our way to San Jose. Sometimes fusion menus are a concern, but in this case the innovative creations were awesome.A dumpling version of walnut shrimp that avoids the usual issue of the sauce ruining any crisp---yes please!The mapo tofu dumplings were also delicious and our sauce-to-dumpling ratio was very satisfying.My husband enjoyed the honey garlic wings and hoisin tofu as well. Overall, the dishes were unique and very flavorful.We hope to visit again soon!

Very nice place. You can order food through the QR code or with the waitress. They have a nice selection of dumplings and soups! The parking is a tight squeeze but def worth. I ordered the walnut shrimp dumplings (veggie option), sesame balls, and the veggie egg drop soup! Very much enjoyed the overall experience will. Def come again!

My Bf and I stopped by here for dinner. You're seated and then order from QR code on the table.We got:- Pan fried dumplings (very good, simple)- Mapo Tofu Dumplings (very creamy and tasty! My bf says he wishes it came with vegan cheese option, although I liked it as is since I'm not vegan .)- Spicy Korean Dumplings (super delicious and my fave! Soo good!)- Sesame Salad w/ Braised Tofu (it was nice to eat the dumplings with something lighter and fresh, since dumplings can be a bit heavy and filling)- Lastly we also got the Spicy Sichuan Noodle Soup (this was my Bf's favorite, he really liked this one!)We're from out of town so we ordered a lot of food and didn't finish half but all of it was tasty, reasonable price, and it was awesome to have left overs to take home, which lasted another 2.5 meals after.The best part was the service. All the staff members who we spoke to were so cute, sweet, and nice! We really enjoyed our time there. If it was closer, we would def go back! There are so many other items on the menu we wished we could try! Next time we're in the area, we plan on stopping by.

Good location, very clean restaurant, nice clean interior design, excellent food (asked for less oil and wasn't oily at all), excellent Jasmine Tea, clean, new dinnerware & cutlery, Kevin & Chloe provided excellent service!We had 2x String Bean with Pork Belly dishes & the Kung Pao Chicken, both dishes were hot, delicious, fresh, with the perfect level of heat. We will be back and will recommend this restaurant to our friends. Thank you!
