Dined here for a Friday Lunch Memorial Service meal. Party of 10. The only diners in the restaurant. Food overall was barely warm. Taste basic. Price overly high. Atmosphere dark and dank. Restrooms the same. I was not paying for the meal, but would not recommend. Lived in the East Bay all my life and have dined on Solano Ave for years. There was a reason why I have never dined here and will not in the future.
Sichuan Style
Like most Chinese restaurants Sichuan style has a very large menu. The restaurant has lots of seating and is rarely full, which is nice. Most of what I’ve had here has been excellent, but I was not as big a fan of the fried rice. It was heavier with stronger flavors than I typically like. The staff was very fast and helpful, and the portions were huge. And they give kimchi!
I recommend and have been 3 times. Green beans are perfect, potsticker wrappers are homemade, scallion pancakes are fried, and fried rice has excellent flavor and lean bits of pork. We usually get sweet and sour chicken but have also had kung pao chicken. Everything is great and I even eat the leftovers which are delicioso. 😗
Renee's Place
We had not had dinner here in a couple of years, until last night. I saw the new menu items page with the "Tea-Smoked Duck and had to try it! It was worth the drive in the Winter storm to try the generous serving of Half Duck!
We have been going to this warm and delicious restaurant for over 16 years. The food is delicious and fresh. It’s a perfect place for families to enjoy their meals with Renee always welcoming guests with her warm welcome.
China Village
Super disappointed. We love to come here for the Sichuan crab, but it was so dry and either overcooked or cooked from frozen that the meat stuck entirely to the shell. We had to scrape small bits of crab meat from the cracked bits of shell with our finger nails. I felt like a cave man. To add insult to injury, the only thing we could actually fill up on was stiff old rice that we had to pay extra for. I used to love this spot and recommended it often. Not after tonight.
The food here is excellent and the fish soup in particular, unfortunately, the servers are mostly fairly rude, making the experience less pleasant. One time while they were cleaning up one of the tables one of them tossed some of the dishes into a bowl of soup that was on their cart, splashing it all over me and our food, and the woman who did it just looked over and shrugged. We weren’t going to eat our food after having somebody else’s food, splash all over it and us, so we just got up to leave, and the people tried to insist that we pay! The owner Waved at the people at the counter, indicating not to charge me, but the whole thing was ridiculous. I still go there sometimes, but not nearly as often as I used to.
Wojia Hunan Cuisine
Really decent authentic Chinese Hunan food. Lots of spicy dishes but nothing was that unbearable. All the dishes had a lot of flavor but mostly because of how much oil they used. Could have toned that down a bit. Braised pork and boiled fish were excellent. Overall attentive service and nice open space. Has to be one of the go to Chinese spots around the area.
You just never know what will be in your food, and they refused to refund. Great service and diverse food ingredients in just one dish. Highly recommend if you want something innovative or some fusion.
Lulu's Kitchen
We ordered chicken noodles and veg fried rice. Taste was ok, not so great. We went around 8:00pm and place was so empty over the week day. No issue for parking. Place is very small with few tables.
Absolutely love this hidden gem . My reviews are for the spice lovers, who prefers extra hot. We enjoyed our dinner. My all time favorite, sauteed lotus root. We also ordered shredded pork, green onion pancake, chicken fried rice and shrimp fried rice. Thoroughly enjoyed every bite of the lotus. My go-to when it comes to Chinese! Hot Tea is good as well, very much needed for the season.
Golden Sand Harbor
There are better dim sum options in this area. The dishes here are a bit blend, the pineapple bun was too sweet on the inside. The royal chicken was dry, tough, and freezing (felt like it was in the freezer).
I honestly never leave reviews for restaurants but I have to for this one! I ordered the salt and pepper prawns expecting that it would be the traditional shrimp heads but nope.. it’s some other type of shrimp that has no shell or head. Also ordered the egg flower soup and for some odd reason it has zucchini in it and a pea??? I guess I will have to ask ahead of time now if my soup will have zucchini and if my shrimp will have heads. I also ordered a Hong Kong style House Combo Chow Mein and expected it to have some squid and octopus like other places I’ve ordered from before. Instead there was overcooked shrimp..Another item I ordered was the West Lake Soup, it was decent but a bit watered down, had too many clumps of egg, and the beef didn’t seem cooked all the way. One other item I ordered was the Moo Shu Wraps, I’m used to the wrap being a lot thinner and fresh. This one seems like it could possibly be a store bought tortilla wrap. The only decent thing I ordered was the Black Bean Clams! Would love if the menu was more detailed with the ingredients and have more photos of the food. It’s so hard to find a decent restaurant here in the suburbs.
Hong Kong Cafe
I had a great experience at this restaurant the first time I visited. The atmosphere was lovely, and the decor was cute. The waiters were very friendly and attentive. The food was of good quality, and the menu was extensive. We ordered shrimp chow fun, baked pork chop rice, milk tea, and chicken wings, and everything was delicious. The restaurant is conveniently located in the heart of the tri-valley area, and the prices are fair. We went for lunch on a Saturday at around 12:30 pm and had to wait for about 20-25 minutes.
I came in on tea time / happy hour. They don't have specials at all. Straight up standard menu items. Food is not bad and their milk tea is on par with other HK cafe types. The interior is very roomy and clean. It's modern / old classic and is nice place to hang out if it doesn't get busy. It was pretty quiet when I was there. Surprised there aren't any customers which they should and probably no one knows about this place yet. Would suggest they do one lunch specials and tea time specials menu like how HK cafes are. The dish I had is not bad and is on par. It's worth going back to try out other dishes on their menu. Looking at their menu, it's more of a restaurant items than cafe items. Perhaps they can explore and see what other HK cafes menus servers and taylor more towards those items to match what they are trying to be. Their prices are on the higher side. Overall, it's worth trying it out.
Shangrila Chinese Cuisine
Good oily food, large portions, and spacious venue. Got exactly what I expected from this Chinese Restaurant, with quick service to boot. I came for a takeout lunch on Wednesday. There were 3 groups dining in and 4 folks waiting on the side. It's fairly busy, but there are still plenty of seats. I liked that there was someone at the counter at all times managing in-coming guests. This place is likely better for dining in since there are no holes for ventilation in your takeout box so the food will get soggy quickly. Would come again and possibly try dining in.
I absolutely recommend the restaurant, since I arrived I had a good impression because it was very clean, they opened the doors for me and they welcomed me very well, offering me the menu, the attention was the best compared to other restaurants, the food was excellent The rice tasted delicious, I highly recommend this restaurant, everyone is very friendly. The music was not loud, it was soft enough to eat and enjoy the delicious food.
P.F. Chang's
I have mostly dined at either the PF Chang's at Sunnyvale or the Stanford Mall. After moving to the east bay I wanted to try out the one at Pleasanton given that the one in Fremont had permanently closed. I went out there for our anniversary dinner with my wife and daughter. We had a great server who helped us in ordering Pork Egg rolls, Singapore street noodles and Chang's spicy chicken. The pork egg rolls were a delight and an absolute recommendation. The noodles and the spicy chicken went very well together and tasted perfect. The portion sizes are quite proportional to the price. I think during busy dinner days it's better to reserve before heading out. Overall, a great experience.
Top notch PF Chang's experience. Both the front desk and our server were very friendly and cordial. The space is upscale and clean. Food tasted amazing and they honored my request to double fry the special lo mein noodles. With Walnut Creek location closed permanently I would say this is one and only really nice PFC around East Bay.
Mandarin Delight Dublin
Love the huge serving sizes, how quickly the food comes out, and the reasonable prices! Really extensive menu and enjoyed all the dishes we tried. My favorite were the crispy beef, fried rice, and the crispy noodles.
We order from here quite frequently and have enjoyed the food in the past, but our takeout food today was pretty gross. The chicken was bland and oddly very round in shape and the garlic noodles were undercooked and extremely peppery (with two pieces of shrimp in the whole dish). This leads me to believe that the owners might’ve switched suppliers due to cost, etc, but nonetheless, whatever they have been doing differently has not been good at all. Their food is way too expensive to taste as bland and old as it did today. Not sure when / if we will be back, which is a shame because this was our favorite Chinese food place. 😕
Koi Palace - Dublin
Dropped by here over a weekend. Haven't been here since the pandemic. We went early so there was plenty of parking, but when we left there were car circling the parking lot. The service was good and we're checked in often by the staff. The food was okay. They came out hot and was tasty. But the prices made it hard to swallow. I'm guessing it's due to the area and inflation. Overall a good place to visit with the family.
Monday dinner treated by my son here. Good flavorful dishes which did not disappoint. Service was impartial. We arrived around 5pm and the restaurant is relatively empty yet the service staff tend to rush us out at the end when we were still chatting over food. Overall, the impression was good, especially the food which I'd give 5 stars for what you could find in the area for quality Chinese food.
