Koi Palace Express
There is a 16% service charge. We ordered Baked Beer Steak in Black Pepper Sauce over Rice with Cheese, Farm Raised Hainan Chicken with Soup, Kois Seofood Pan- fried Crispy Noodle, roasted duck, and some beverages. The place was quite busy even during off hours.
Their pork katsu curry is my favorite. I have had so many katsu curry all over the place, and their katsu curry is absolutely the best. After eating their katsu curry, I could not enjoy katsu curry any more. No other katsu is this tender. It is so good it’s almost addicting. The outside is crunchy and the inside gives you just the right amount of tenderness - not mushy, not chewy, very juicy. It has good portion too. They give two pieces of katsu. I’ve got this dish 3 or 4 times and it’s consistently delicious. Not sure about the other dishes - I’ve tasted other dishes here but nothing hits like this katsu. The curry is different from other places curry - I think it’s from one of those yellowish chinese curry powder? Personally I liked it but I can see why others may prefer Japanese curry more. The katsu is actually so good that I am in Hawaii right now and I cannot stop thinking about it. This katsu is life changing. I need to pay the chef a visit next time and learn his recipe.
Panda Express
My wife ordered the food for pickup at 5:30pm, paid online. Traffic from work wasn’t bad, got there at 5:10pm. They couldn’t find the order. I said it was scheduled for 5:30, and I was early. Manager eventually came over, said I was at the wrong Panda. Finally he looked up the order number, and gave me a bunch of attitude. “Your order says 5:30. You have to call us and let us know if you change the time.” I said I’m here now, I’m letting you know, the time is now, 5:15. He told me he cannot change the order, it is for 5:30. I said, you want me to wait here until 5:30, and then you’ll make the food? Finally he agreed to fill the order. I have never been treated so rudely. He has real anger issues, and very poor service skills. Of course the receipt didn’t have a code to give feedback. I’ll use other Panda Express going forward. Not worth the headache.
Update: 3.20.24 Not greeted when I was standing at the counter. Server glanced up at me, said, "Just a minute," and began combining freshly made food with whatever remained in the woks already at the serving counter. So I waited for her to finish, and she then said, "What do you want? What do you want?" (Yes, twice.) I requested a Panda plate (2 entrees & one side), with eggplant tofu and chow mein side. Chow mein portion was good, and it was fresh. After starting to spoon the first eggplant tofu serving, server said, "What else do you want?" I replied, "Eggplant tofu, please. Both entrees the same. Thanks," but she didn't get it, and said again, "What do you want?" as she was using a serving spoon to point where the second entree would go on the plate. So I repeated again, still politely, "Eggplant tofu, please. I would like two portions of the same dish, both eggplant tofu." She got it that time. I wasn't really watching what she was spooning into the plate, but was really disappointed when I got home that the portions were very small. One side had only 2 really small cubes of tofu (1/2" square - never have had tofu cubed this small at any Panda Express) with 3 pieces of eggplant, the other had four 1/2“ cubes of tofu and 2 pieces of eggplant. I should've taken a picture, but didn't think about it until I had already started eating. Tofu is cheap. It's the primary source of protein in that meal. I paid nearly $14 for approximately 1/10 of a standard slab of tofu with about one half of a Chinese eggplant. There was ONE tiny piece of yellow bell pepper in each of the two eggplant portions. It's important to note that the actual plates they are using seem to be the same size but the depth of the indentations where food is placed on the plates is reduced significantly now. So even if I had gotten a bigger portion, it might look more generous, but is still overall smaller than the portions prior to this change in their plates and cartons. Also, there was nothing left in the serving dish, so rather than asking me to wait a few minutes for the chef to prepare more eggplant tofu, she took the one portion that was left & divided it into two. Yes, this is LOTS of detail, as I'm hoping someone at this Panda will read this review and make necessary changes, but while they can't do anything about the pretty sneaky smaller plates, they could still give a fair portion size. Interestingly, both people ahead of me, who were ordering honey walnut shrimp, orange chicken, etc. received surprisingly generous portions. I will add that the cashier was friendly & I suspect that she was a manager, but I did not get her name. I don't know that I will be coming back to Panda Express at all, as I have had ongoing issues with even finding eggplant tofu, add now, increased prices, with smaller servings. The imperfect orange chicken was sadly canceled not long after they introduced it, which was super disappointing, and Panda has not introduced a single vegan-ish entree in years besides the imperfect orange chicken or the eggplant tofu. We don't understand that, and unlike other restaurants where you could hold the cheese, a dressing, butter etc., Panda Express entrees are not easily adaptable even if they were willing to customize, which they are not, & are very oriented toward meats and seafood. Lastly, I ordered a drink intending to have their freshly brewed iced tea. All they had were Coke products. The brewing machine for tea was on the counter, but not being used, just like last time. So I had nothing to drink as I don't drink coke, etc.. .................... One of the few Panda Express locations that actually has eggplant tofu. However, it did not look particularly fresh and there was only enough for a medium sized serving. It still tasted good however. Lots of chow mein freshly made. Steamed stir fried vegetables were fresh & nicely seasoned - lots of broccoli! Restaurant appeared clean, disappointed that the sweet tea was empty. Cashier was friendly. would go to this location again even though it is somewhat out of our way.
Panda Express
The chow mein and rice did not taste fresh. I ordered super greens and got broccoli which did taste fresh. Broccoli beef, mandarin beef wasn't that great tasting either. Normally not too bad but as far as the order for today 😕 not good at all. This was one of the worst meals I've had at this panda express. Maybe it's a bad cook that's working at this location. Matter of fact I just threw the food away cause the quality was horrible.
Went with the family in the evening absolutely no customers was there was served cold food very disappointed will never go again
Fiery Shanghai
The pretty pork dish in the photo was especially good. Overall, we were very satisfied with the flavours. The decorations in the restaurant were pretty and the service was good too.
The best Shanghai food in Bay Area for my personal taste. All of my orders were great. The indoor decorations are cozy. The environment is clean. A really good place to have food before/after you go to the outlets.
Panda Express
Lunch at Panda Express. Trying how Asian food tasted like in U.S. The portion was decent and could feed our family of 4 with just 2 plates with 2 ingredients for each plate. They had left over. Ordered the following and prices are before taxes. Chow Mein with Broccoli Beef and Kung Pao Chicken @ US$10.90 - Chow Mein | 7.0 out of 10. A bit too oily. - Broccoli Beef | 7.0 out of 10. Broccoli tasted a little raw and beef was tough. - Kung Pao Chicken | 8.0 out of 10. Nice. Fried Rice with Orange Chicken and Beijing Beef @ US$10.90 - Fried Rice | 5.0 out of 10. Taste off. Not sure how they can serve this. - Orange Chicken | 7.5 out of 10. Way too sweet. Used the tasteless fried rice to mix with it to balance the taste. - Beijing Beef | 8.0 out of 10. Nice. Medium Fountain Drink @ US$2.40 (refillable). Nice. Not too bad from American standard for Asian food I guess. Sorry but not for my tastebuds.
I order online and all of my orders are always ready promptly. One time, one of the entrees was missing on a plate I ordered. I called the restaurant, and Randa picked up and went above and beyond to remedy the situation. She took care of me and was super understanding. Highly recommend this Panda Express. :)
Mandarin House
Below-Average Food, Nice Proprietors I feel bad giving a two-star rating as the shop proprietors are quite nice. The food, on the other hand, is quite sad. Ordered the half Hainan Chicken and Tomato Beef Chow Mein. Chicken is really bland. It's pretty much boiled chicken with condiments over it. Noodles are overcooked, lifeless, and soggy. Hope they'll do better on future.
The food is ok. The portion is big at least for me but the food is just average. The service is not so well
Wok A Holic
Not really bland but the flavor wasn’t there. Nice that they have options for kid. They look like Panda Express but not as good as Panda Express.
Bland, unflavored food and orange noodles. Their portion sizes are also on the smaller side. Had their half and half side ( completely un flavored fried rice, which had no egg just soy sauce and rice with orange stir fry noodles). I got spicy chicken ( their version of Mongolian chicken but no spice and no salt. Over all oily.
Spicy Tongue
Atrocious customer service -- or a complete lack of any customer service, rather. Want to wait for your food for over an hour only to find out most of your order was canceled as they "ran out" -- without any prior notification whatsoever? Call to ask a question about it only to find out that one number is out of service, and the other rings till they hang up? This is how this place handles their business regularly and repeatedly. If it was possible to give a -2 stars for service; they'd deserve it. Some of the food is actually not bad, though the rest is mediocre at best, but the disregard for the customer is so blatant that it's amazing they stayed in business even this long. Do yourself a favor and order from some tasty place that is reputable and cares instead of Spicy Tongue.
DO NOT EVER ORDER! I REPEAT DO NOT EVER ORDER! First of all, I ordered the boiling beef with house spicy broth which includes rice and house soup. I just dont understand, there were literally no beef? Except cabbage and no rice too. Never gonna order again. Yes, I did read all other reviews and was convinced before I order but I WAS WRONG! DO NOT ORDER!!!!!
