Food looks good. A good amount of options for actual food but mostly everything else looks like snacks and sweets and like sides. Salmon was dry but it's been sitting for a while I'm guessing. Sushi looks fresh and nice. Only thing my friend got one sushi that said it was definitely from yesterday and old. I believe her she's a sushi fanatic she knows her sushi. A good amount of staff so if you have any questions you can't miss one and I like how I'm seeing someone always cleaning tables and going around picking up trash or left overs. Good thing though a lot of sitting! Plenty of space to breathe and move around. Also theirs a little shop on the side too you can go in and buy stuff.

Masala Express is easily my #1 Indian spot in Merced…read more I ordered the chicken tikka masala and man... this was next level. Super tender chicken and the sauce was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor perfectly spiced without being too heavy. With the fluffy rice and warm naan it was one of those meals you don't want to end. What really makes this place stand out though is the service. The owner is always there super welcoming and constantly checking in to make sure you're taken care of. You can tell he takes pride in the food and the experience. Great food top-tier service this place doesn't miss.

Having been here two different times, both experiences have been delicious. The first time was…read moreordering off the main menu. There is a huge selection with a variety of options. The entire meal was flavorful and the team provided excellent service. The second time was with the lunch buffet. It had a good amount of chicken items and vegetarian options. Two different types of basmati rice which were amazing. It was great to sample a variety of entrees during lunch. Again the flavors were consistent and the servers did a great job even though it was the buffet option picked. They do have door dash, payment the do take card and Apple Pay. It is definitely a local business that is worth the support. There is not a negative thing to say about the restaurant, food or the team working there.

We attended a birthday party here on New Year's Eve, and were pretty pleased by the place. There's…read moreplenty of room here, with ample seating, and clean well appointed tables. The staff were very fast (they have to be, because the place draws a crowd) and, for the most part, accurate and friendly. The menu is HUGE, and if you're a fan of Asian food, you're certain to find something you like. We were a party of six, and ordered a good variety of food. All of it was appetizing and well prepared. We enjoyed our visit, and recommend the place.

We were in town and decided to try something new, and I'm so glad we stopped here! Everything we…read moreordered was absolutely delicious. We had the broccoli beef, orange beef (instead of orange chicken such a great choice!), potstickers, garden fried rice, and plain chow mein. Every single dish had its own distinct flavor nothing tasted the same, which really says a lot about the quality of the food. The orange beef was especially amazing, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The potstickers were tasty, and the fried rice and chow mein were cooked just right. What really made the experience even better was the service. The sweet little older lady at the front was our server, and she was so kind and attentive. She checked on us to make sure we were doing good and even helped package each plate individually to go, which we really appreciated. Great food, great service, and a very welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place if you're looking to try something new!

She checks to see how the meal is going and the quality of the meal.

I like hole in the walls, those hidden, out of the way, diamonds in the rough parts of town. This…read morewas that except it just fell flat. The place is in dire need of a deep clean and repairs. You have to hype yourself up before you use the mens bathroom, it was like a bathroom in a half condemned, tweeker filled, hotel where you might catch a dope fiend in the middle of shooting up, or a prostitue with her john. Sorry to be so down, but those who have been there know what I'm talking about. Without giving all the details, there was no door knob, there was a rag in the hole that I guess you have to pull to shut the door. As I was in the middle of using the bathroom another patron walked in on me. The food- it wasn't the worst but it was lacking. I'll spare the details. The server was a nice young lady and that was the positive thing. The place appeared to be an abandoned pizza parlor or bar and just is dying a slow death. I can't imagine it will remain open without vast improvements.

Which is too bad because the food wasn't bad.

I first tried El Palmar because it had some of the best ratings on DoorDash. My dine-in experiences…read morewere also very pleasant. I usually order the Supreme Burrito. Idk what it is, but the burritos here are stellar and so moist and tasty. Hands down, the best burritos in Merced. El Palmar was also one of the first places to offer Birria in Merced. I have always enjoyed their Birria Tacos and would highly recommend. They also have Birria ramen too if you'd like to try it. The restaurant is pretty clean and has plenty of parking. If not, you can go park in the Chevron area next door. When dining in, they'll give you some chips and salsa. They do have beer available for dine-in. They don't have a self-serve salsa bar so you'll have to ask the cashier for all of your condiments (salsa, lime, etc). This is my favorite Mexican joint and has never let me down! Come enjoy!
