Great food, friendly owner who takes so much pride in his restaurant. Prices for cocktails are a step back in time - we visit every time we're in Port Hueneme.
We were all very hungry for Chinese food. Very happy we tried Mandarin House. Pot stickers Yummm - I love the sweet sauce and mustard with them. BBQ pork was great as were the Moo Shu chicken, hot and sour soup, pepper beef, Honey Ginger fried chicken. All very good and server was excellent.

This place’s food is like your Thai grandma cooked dinner. Wide variety of delicious dishes, reasonable prices and Very friendly service.
The food is always fresh and expertly prepared. Very consistent across dozens of visits (we live here). Treated like the regulars we are, we are working our way through the menu and have never had a mediocre dish. Do not go here for carved elephant tables or waiters in baggy pants. The food and friendly staff are the main events. We always get the spicy versions and the large Chang beer.

When the cute and lovely decor match the quality of the drinks- Honey Cup coffeehouse is the perfect spot for creative and delicious coffee drinks. The Rosemary Vanilla latte is amazing! The floral herb notes of rosemary pair perfectly with the creamy sweet vanilla- never would have imagined this pairing- and all went perfect with the extra shot of espresso. We're not from Oxnard but certainly wish they had a Honey Cup down in SD. The hot brewed coffee was smooth, dark and strong (none of that watery or light acidic stuff).
The service is friendly and warm, décor as mentioned super cute and clean - highly recommend to grab a drink and enjoy the harbor side view or under the large beautiful tree on their patio.

The Port Hueneme Historical Museum is located in Port Hueneme, a small beach town in Ventura County. The name “Hueneme” derives from the Spanish spelling of the Chumash wene’ me, meaning “Resting Place.” Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo explored the Hueneme area and the adjacent Channel Islands in October 1542. The town’s name was officially changed to Port Hueneme in 1939 and the municipality was incorporated March 24, 1948.
Thomas Bard learned of a submarine canyon at Point Hueneme and took advantage of the canyon depth to construct the Hueneme Wharf in 1871. Both the Port of Hueneme and Naval Base Ventura County lie within city limits.
The Port Hueneme Historical Museum is located at 220 Market Street. The 1925 building, which was declared a Ventura County Landmark in 1976, served as the third home (previous structures burned down) of the Bank of Hueneme, a financial institution which first opened its doors on August 6, 1889 and was founded by Thomas Bard.
Two years after Security First National Bank purchased the Hueneme Bank building in 1950, the Bank of Hueneme was dissolved. The city later purchased the property and the diminutive served as City Hall from 1960 to 1973.
The distinctive neoclassical structure, which became the official residence of the Port Hueneme Historical Museum in 1973, now houses artifacts, memorabilia, furniture, clothing, black and white photo exhibits and other information about the history of the Hueneme area.
Highlights at the museum include the 3,000-piece collection of salt and pepper shakers, a barbed-wire collection that dates from 1891, a set of china and silver tea service that once belonged to Thomas Bard, and the original anchor and bell of a World War II ship. A plaque marks the spot where a 375-year-old Monterey Cypress once stood, the second oldest cypress in California.
Architect Myron Hunt, who designed the building, was also responsible for designing the Bard Mansion, Huntington Library, Occidental College and the Ambassador Hotel.
Tours of the museum can be arranged by appointment. Call 805.986.6542. Displays are maintained by the Department of Recreation and Community Services as well as the Historical Commission.
In 1976, a five-member Historical Museum Commission was appointed by the City Council to preserve Hueneme’s history and oversee operation of the museum. The Commission meets the first Wednesday of the month at 1:00PM in the Museum.

Sightseeing
HUENEME BEACH PARK
Hueneme Beach Park is the pride of Port Hueneme. This 50-acre park offers:
Numerous picnic tables and barbecue pits
Walking paths between the flag plazas, gazebo, and lighthouse
The stately Alaska Air Flight 261 memorial sundial
A 24-hour fishing pier
Sand volleyball courts
Surfside Seafood snack bar
Lifeguard protection and a Junior Lifeguard Program in the summer.
REGULATIONS
For the health and safety of both humans and dogs, no dogs are allowed on the beach. Children who play in the sand can become seriously ill by coming into contact with animal feces, which carries a host of infectious organisms. Just walking barefoot on the sand that has been contaminated can lead to infection and transmission of hookworms to humans. And your dogs are not immune to health problems as a result of romping on the beach- they may ingest contaminated sand and become infected with parasites or parvo (a common, often deadly disease) by coming into contact with dead sea animals or birds.

IGHTHOUSE PROMENADE WALKWAY
The repair of the shoreline revetment and installation of waterfront access improvements was completed in 2007, extending the beach pedestrian walkway from Surfside Drive out to the harbor entry and Lighthouse.
The $5 million project was dedicated March 2008 and has become a very popular destination for residents and visitors. This project will serve as a reminder of what can be achieved with steady cooperation and a strong “can-do” attitude… especially when two organizations like the City and Harbor District join hands on a project.

The history of Santa Barbara, California, begins approximately 13,000 years ago with the arrival of the first Native Americans. The Spanish came in the 18th century to occupy and Christianize the area, which became part of Mexico following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, the expanding United States acquired the town along with the rest of California as a result of defeating Mexico in the Mexican–American War. Santa Barbara transformed then from a small cluster of adobes into successively a rowdy, lawless Gold Rush era town; a Victorian-era health resort; a center of silent film production; an oil boom town; a town supporting a military base and hospital during World War II; and finally it became the economically diverse resort destination it remains in the present day. Twice destroyed by earthquakes, in 1812 and 1925, it was rebuilt after the second one in a Spanish Colonial style.
