    It was our first time trying it, the kids got the quesadillas my husband and I got the sandwiches. Everything was freshly made and delicious. The milkshake with Boba was very refreshing and real fruit. I enjoyed my Thai tea.

    Shrimp pancit- Friday special!

    I drove 40 min out of my way to finally try this place and it did not disappoint! Came strictly for their Friday special- shrimp pancit. My Lord! It was amazing. So light and fresh, loaded with veggies. I can't wait to go back and try their other items. Ellen, hats off to you and your husband, I hope you guys are around for a long time!

    My wife and I were on the way from Sacramento to visit the Black Chasm Cavern during the lunch hour. We were happy to find a new location that had just opened, Bistro Saechao, which was nearby. We were eager to grab a quick bite to eat as there were minimal food options in the area and we did not want to deal with restaurant wait times - also we weren't wanting any greasy nor heavy food. The bistro is located inside Jackson Fitness. Upon walking in, you are immediately greeted by Bistro Saechao. The interior is small but modest with modern touches to the high ceiling. I loved that the seating area gives you a clear view of the preparation of the food. We come from a Southeast Asian and Pacific Islander background - same as the owners. When we read their article on the local newspaper, Ledger Dispatch, we were instantly intrigued to see their take on Southeast Asian & Pacific Islander food with a western twist. As an Asian person, I am very picky with Asian restaurants especially when there is a modern twist but they proved otherwise. I ordered the Pilipino Adobo sandwich w/ chicken. I've never thought about pairing coleslaw with chicken adobo, let alone in a sandwich ! The cilantro and cucumber gave the sandwich a refreshing taste and the jalapeños were the perfect hint of spice. I had a wonderful experience and will for sure come back to grab some quick eats. I would say this is now my go to spot now when in the area. Not only is the food good and quickly prepared, it's healthy + delicious and affordable! I wish I got more photos but I was too busy enjoying my sandwich. The owners are very friendly and very attentive. They seem to already have made good relations with the locals here even calling them by name as they walk in. Gotta give it to them for creating something amazing and bonding with the community they are setting their roots in. I highly recommend this place if you need a quick bite to eat in or take it to go on your way to work or any outdoor adventures. They also serve smoothies (w/ boba if you want) - perfect for this summer heat coming :) Don't sleep on this place.

    Bbq beef Sammy was very very good! The service was excellent, everything was so fresh and yummy!

    Small restaurant/cafe inside Jackson fitness. I have eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. This is not a big family sit down restaurant but if you need that you could always get it to go. It's a mom and pop shop which I love to support!

    Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Place: 10/10 Peeps: 10/10 I highly recommend this place. Good food and good people. Trust me on this, you won't regret it.

    Mr. Greens smoothie & half of my Korean Bulgogi sandwich as a wrap with beef!

    Great little cafe. I had a chicken Cobb salad and it was locally sourced, fresh and reasonably priced (for CA).

    Pacific Grill is located inside Jackson Racheria casino, straight in the back after going through…read morethe main entrance. I found myself there for lunch one afternoon after about blowing all my cash at the slots. I had nothing to left in my pockets, except for some lint, an old paper clip, and my well used American Express card. Defeated, I called it quits and put a fried chicken sandwich and some tots on the plastic. After a chat with a friendly cashier, my food arrived in a few short minutes. Boy was I impressed! I didn't hit any jackpots at the slots, but I did with their tots! They gave me a mountain of those crispy, golden-brown, little nuggets. Each one was perfectly cooked and they came with plenty of ranch for dipping. The chicken sandwich was just as crispy, juicy in the middle, and full of fresh produce. The whole thing was only $13.00, so I couldn't be happier. Well, my pockets were empty, but my belly was full. Pacific Grill, you made me feel like a winner.

    Really sad that the Rancheria buffet is no more. I wasn't sure what to expect. My kids and I…read moredecided to try this place one late night while staying in the area for a wedding. There were plenty of seats since it wasn't too busy. We ordered fried cod fish & chips, an original chicken sandwich, and a truffle cheeseburger. It was bit of a wait. When we got our food, I guess we should've expected it to not look like the pictures on the menu. Just looking at the picture I took of the fish & chips, you can barely find the two pieces of fish. Not sure what you can see on the picture of the truffle cheeseburger. So, off to Margaret's cafe and bakery for dessert. Hopefully, makes up for the disappointment of pacific grill.

Cute decoration with the bamboo tray. 6 or 12 pieces. 6/5 Pineapple fried rice sweet and sour and with the housemade sausage- a great harmony of flavors. I especially enjoyed it with the crispy house chili dressing. 7/5 Busy at lunchtime but the server was very accommodating and kind.

    I love their salt & pepper wings. This was my first time visiting their newest location. We only…read morecame here because it was a Monday (their other location is closed on Mondays), and we happened to be in Stockton and I had a serious craving for those wings. It's located downtown next to the movie theater, if you're facing the theater, it's on the right-hand side. There was a sign on the door saying cash-only and no dine-in. I had cash and we were planning to take it to-go anyway, so that part didn't bother us. But oh my goodness... the staff needs improvement. Please address it ASAP. The vibe was not welcoming at all and felt very unprofessional. I could hear screaming and shouting coming from the kitchen from one of the younger girls, who honestly looked pretty mean. She was also taking orders. Thankfully, she wasn't the one who helped us, another girl took our order. Their POS was down and they said they accepted cash or Zelle, so we paid with Zelle. The girl told me, "Show it to me when you pay it," which I did. THANK GOODNESS I paid with Zelle. (I'll get to that). We ordered two salt & pepper wings and an order of garlic noodles to-go. The noodles came out first, so we sat down to wait for the wings. I noticed there were people dining in, so I guess the "no dine-in" sign wasn't accurate. When our wings were ready, we went up to grab them. The girl who took our order loudly asked in a rude tone, "DID YOU PAY?" It was embarrassing because everyone heard, and could've been handled so differently. I told her yes and pulled up the Zelle confirmation, the SAME one she had asked me earlier to show her. She clearly forgot and didn't make a note of it. Honestly, I can't imagine if I had paid cash. I wouldn't have had a receipt or any proof. So if you go here and their machines are down again... pay with Zelle. While we were there, I noticed a mother and daughter who had been waiting even before we arrived and still had no food. When we went up to get our wings, the daughter walked up to the counter very upset and said, "Give me back my money. We've been here for an hour and we were here before them." That pretty much confirmed everything about how chaotic things were. It felt like a total zoo in there. The system for handling orders and payments definitely needs work, especially with cash transactions. The tables were also dirty and could've used some attention. Additionally, the girl screaming in the kitchen shouldn't have happened. The wings? Still delicious. But the service and organization at this location really took away from the experience. The only parking available was at the garage across the street.
