To my fellow Chinese, please don’t be fooled by the 牛肉面 sign. We were so hooked by that billboard on our way to McCarthy and tried this place on our way back to Anchorage with high hopes, but it was a major disappointment. The taste was below average. It would have been better if we borrowed their kitchen and cooked by ourselves. I swear!!! The price and portion were outrageous… I know veggies are expensive in AK but it doesn’t justify their prices. The portion was so tiny that we finished everything and still left hungry. If you miss Asian food on the way, just buy instant noodles.

This is a very small RV park with campsite next to each other with very tight space. Restrooms are ok but the toilet bowl looks like it needs a thorough cleaning job. Shower room is very small and also coin based. For what it provides it is quite expensive. For a night or two stay I would rather stay in a state campground with spacious campsite and nicer environment. The Chinese owner does not seem to have the warm and laidback personality for being a hostess of an RV campground and Cafe. We walked in the Cafe to check in and waited 10mins before being acknowledged. The owner gave us a nonchalant matter of fact kind of greeting, not exactly welcoming. Being a Chinese myself, a restaurant serving Chinese food sounded appealing, but the owner's attitude was a big turn-off. I am glad we did not eat there, after reading the other campers' review of their food. We do NOT recommend this place

The kitchen closes at 8pm and we reached at 8:30 but the lady was kind and nice enough to let us in. Chicken fried rice was good but the Bao buns were the best we’ve had. Highly recommend the place.

This RV campground is fantastic! The hostess is super nice and welcoming. When we arrived last night, it was closed because she had gone to a neighbor's house for a party. She happened to come back and let us order food and check in. They have showers, toilets, and a laundry room. They also provide water, wastewater, and electricity. It's very convenient and highly recommended.

The campsites are in a big gravel lot, but excellent laundry and shower facilities. You won't get friendlier service at any café or better pies and pizza. This is our second time here and it is amazing! Also get the dumplings!!
