    2 Entree Lauriat
    Erwin B.

    I recently visited Chowking in Vallejo ordered the Lauriat. Overall, the meal was good and flavorful, and I usually enjoy their food. However, the drumstick chicken I received was undercooked and still had blood inside, which was really disappointing and concerning. Because of that experience, I lost my appetite and couldn't finish my meal. Food safety is really important, so I hope they improve on this. That said I still think some of their menu items are worth trying especially their halo-halo, which is always a favorite and perfectly balanced in sweetness.

    I honestly think they're beef soup is underrated. I came in craving some type of noodle soup so I came in the morning. Unfortunately, they were not ready to open at the time stated in the front. Waited in the parking lot, and they finally opened the doors 30 minutes later, which is why I leave out some stars. Overall, it ain't bad for what it is, just wouldn't go out my way for it.

    Chinese BBQ Chicken Bowl, Black Jelly Drink and Taho in the bag in the background
    Jonathan S.

    I came in on a Friday afternoon specifically to purchase some siopao (asado), taho and black jelly drink, but saw they offer popcorn chicken (spicy) now, so I decided to try it out too. Prices of food is starting to get expensive and portions are shrinking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There wasn't many people eating here around lunchtime, so it could be due to the prices and small portion size.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was the most disappointed by the popcorn chicken as it was only 9 pieces (McD sized chicken nuggets) of chicken which came in a big container (noodle soup/rice bowl container) which made it look like very small portions. I do like their food, but I minimize eating at a Chow King now due to price and portion size. Personally, I like their siopao and taho, so that is what I mainly come Chow King for now days.

    I ordered the 2 entree and the chicken is hard. The sesame balls is not edible. It's chewy. The halo halo not pictured here was good.

    The food is okay both is taste and texture. It's edible but not great. The service was nice and fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was okay but the floor where I was sitting at had too much rice on the floor and chair.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was barely anyone there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Since we were in the neighborhood, we dropped by Chowking for a couple of baos and a drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was fairly busy when we walked, there was boisterous group of customers in one corner of the room plus a few more customers here and there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We placed our order at the counter: 3 Asado-flavored steamed bao buns and black jelly drink. The young lady at the register was very efficient and courteous; she processed our orders quickly and we were on our way. The black jelly drink hit the spot; it was cool and refreshing. The steamed buns were very tasty; the dough was super airy and pork filling was absolutely delicious. I regret not purchasing more to take home; oh well, maybe next time. Overall, we had a positive experience: the service was good and food was great!

    An overhead view of taho.
    Arvey S.

    To start off, I'm only reviewing their taho dessert offering and nothing else. The reason is, I hardly ever eat fast food. However, this place serves taho, a quintessentially Filipino dessert, a uniquely delicious sweet treat from the Philippines made with silken tofu and chewy tapioca pearls mixed with a rich brown sugar syrup. It's a classic. I don't know too many places where it's served, but it's a standard item on the menu and I go there just for the taho. I didn't grow up in the Philippines, but in the five years of childhood living there, it's one of the few things I remember from the motherland, especially visual of the taho man balancing a bar on his shoulder with two large containers of the ingredients while barking in the streets. I suppose it isn't just the treat I remember fondly and crave, but also of a warm cultural reminiscence. And so, Chowking serves this deliciousness with remarkable consistency in quality as I've had it over the years. I'm grateful to have a go-to place for taho.

    Menu item Bundle Feast 1
    Jon L.

    First time order. Bundle 1 supposed to have 6 pcs chicken, 6 buchi, 3 rice, 3 drinks. They sent 5 pcs chicken, zero buchi and 5 lumpia that was not ordered. No sauce (paid $0.15 for recommended sauce). Food was inedible. Chicken was deceptively crispy because it was basically dehydrated. Chicken dried out to the point it was like that movie "Survive" about the Brazilian soccer team crashes plane in the snowy Andes Mountains and they have to cannibalize their dead teammates. The chicken was as dried out as the frozen cadavers they had to scrape strips of freeze dried flesh off the bones and gnaw on little strips of dried people. That's how dry it was. Chicken jerky. Rice was barely warm. Never again. TO MARIA D. that replied to this review, I tried to access your website contact form but you force me to insert an order number which your system won't accept. I don't have a receipt from your store I ordered thru GrubHub and their order numbers are not accepted in your form. So I can't contact you "personally" as requested.

    2 Entre Breakfast with Tocino and Bangus - so yummy!
    Darlene M.

    Filipino breakfast hits the spot - so yummy. I ordered the 2 entree breakfast with Bangus and Tocino. Super yummy! Don't forget to ask for vinegar. Customer service needs improvement. Maybe eye contact and friendliness would be nice, and attentiveness too. He was taking my order but looking the other way. I wasn't sure if he was listening to me or not. Service is slow for a fast food establishment. Other than that, we had a decent experience. There's plenty of indoor seating and the dining room was fairly clean.

    Came here for lunch after shopping at Seafood City. Came at a good time, there was no line and we didn't have to wait long at all for our order. We ordered beef mami, chicken mami and two beef siopao. Orders came out within a few minutes. The siopao was delicious - hot and tasty. Hubby would've loved more egg, but I can do without it. The soup broth was delicious, not overly salty. Noodles were cooked well but we both could've ate more noodles in the soup. Hubby liked his beef mami. For me --- where's the chicken?!!!! I didn't see any chicken pieces until I looked closer and realized it was in tiny little bits. Almost looked "freeze dried" and then warmed up in the broth, haha! I think I'll order the beef mami next time. The place was decent. Wish they would clean the tables often. Every time we eat there, most of the tables are dirty. Other than the occasional fly(ies), we liked our meals.

    Popcorn Chicken
    Ray T.

    Lackluster Taiwanese popcorn chicken. It was more soggy than crispy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables were sticky, not a clean environment to eat at[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken jerky?
    Nicholas B.

    Well, let's see...the best thing was the steamed rice and the Diet Pepsi. If you love over cooked chicken that has almost no meat left, then this place is perfect for you. Instead of the sesame balls we ordered, we got lumpia. Given the greasy, extremely over cooked, sad excuse for fried chicken that they delivered, I would not risk ordering from here again. I'm giving two stars because the soda was cold and the rice was not cold.

    Stopped by to get those siopao asado and Buchi's. There was a short line but then after I ordered the line got longer. Service here was so slow. Only 1 staff attending the register and also making the drinks. The wait was almost 30 minutes. The customers who lined up after my order were given their orders ahead.... I asked if my order were the ones on the counter, the rude staff abruptly said she was just going to bag them and I still had to wait till she finished what she was doing. This location is so under staffed but then they don't have to be rude just because. I got 6 pcs of Siopao but was only given 5 sauce packets. I asked for more of the sauce and was told there's a charge of $0.11 a packet. Really???? So I inquired how msny do I get For a $1???? I got 9 packets !!!!!

    Where's da brocolli? I had to dig- This was not eaten yet :(
    Stevie B.

    11/04/24- With rising costs of food, I do believe that the quality should not be compromised. Went here and got pancit canton, siopao, black jelly and beef brocolli bowl. First off, the bowl is not even in a bowl. The beef brocolli has only one piece of brocolli and the rest were meat. Yes, they do advertised "more meat", but it's called brocolli beef, so where's the brocolli. The black jelly has a slight bitterness to it. It shouldn't be. Paid 24.83 for some mediocre food. The fountain drinks- there are times the homeless will just go inside and refill whatever cups they have. That's a big No No. Very unsanitary. They should not allow that in the first place.

    3 Star Restaurant probably has some of the best, tastiest Chinese food in Vallejo. It also has…read moreFilipino dishes but we've focused on Chinese. It's a small, strip mall restaurant with plenty of parking. The decor is unique with the owner's love of Lego! Her creations are displayed everywhere in the restaurant. Every time we come in, tables are pretty full. They need more wait staff to handle the crowd. Peak weekend hours like Friday evenings are crazy busy for takeout. They are so popular sometimes their phone is turned off in order to handle the orders. So for takeout during those times, you have to go in person, wait in a long line the length of the restaurant to place an order, then find a seat or wait outside for up to an hour. Meanwhile the tables are full of customers dining. Why do people go through with this when you see other restaurants in the area empty at dinner hours? The food is good and worth the wait. We try to plan our eat-in dining at 3 Star outside of the crowded times, even coming from as far as Fairfield. Dad loves the Beef with Bitter Melon, his favorite dish that Mom used to cook. I don't think we've had a bad dish here, so order whatever you like. OK, the Tomato Beef Pan-fried Noodles is too tomato-saucy red and sugary sweet. My favorite is the Seafood Pan-fried Noodles. Their Chinese Mushrooms with Chinese Vegetables is also good, but they only have bok choy and Dad likes gai lan / Chinese broccoli. The Garlic Sauce Chicken Wings are spicy and really tasty. Next time we'll try their Garlic Chicken Wings since they look so good in photos. 3 Star's super nice owner is very sweet to 94-year old Dad, and treats him very special. Once she even gave us an extra order that a customer said was wrong because she was allergic to shrimp. She also gives us the deep fried Chinese sesame balls for dessert. Maybe everyone gets them?

We had a large group of 12 people so, we did call in for a reservation for 5pm, but they weren't busy on an early Friday evening, however they had a steady stream of take out orders. The wings are always a must get here. They offer combinations of Chinese and Filipino dishes. Their portion size of food is big for the price. We ordered 3 plates of their garlic sauce wings (12 per plate), 2 plates of shrimp fried rice, 1 plate of beef chow fun, 2 order of lumpia Shanghai (20 pieces each), 2 plates of sweet and sour pork, 1 plate of garlic string beans and 1 crispy pata. That was the perfect amount that fed the 12 of us, everyone had a full belly and none to take home. Food overall was not the best, really good. Service was much better today than the last time I went when they were super packed with extreme amounts of take out orders. Had a good dining experience at 3 Star today. Will definitely come back for dine in or take out in the future when I am in the area.

    Szechuan Chinese Cuisine, Vallejo: 2026 Jul 11 (5 of 5)…read more A Place Worth Visiting! Not all Chinese foods are made equal. Gettings decent Chinese food is not easy. Getting really tasty Chinese food is even harder. Szechuan Chinese Cuisine in Vallejo has bold, intense, and complex flavors. Originating from the Sichuan province of China, Sichuan food combines fiery red chilies with the signature Sichuan peppercorn which produces a unique, tingling buzz on the lips and tongue. Whether the food here is authentic Sichuan cuisine, I don't know because I've never been to China. However, the food here has all the flavours that satisfies my tummy: fragrant, hot, salty, sweet, aromatic, deep umami flavours defined by cooking on very hot stove. The service here is excellent and nearly all the dishes were well thought out. They offer deeply layered dishes that goes far beyond simple heat. The only dish that did not satisfy me fully was the pork chop. I just couldn't sink my teeth in it, but the flavours sure are prominent. Overall, this is a place worth visiting. This eatery looks clean and well maintained. I took a peek in the kitchen and everything seem to have its place. Emily was our server. She's a delightful lady with positive energy.

Upon my better judgment, I ordered the Pot Stickers. Reviews had said too much dough, no flavor in the filling. Well, that is absolutely true and the oil tasted off. I ate one, my husband at two. There were six. I ordered the Basil Chicken only to be told they were out of Basil. I changed it to Garlic Chicken. I asked what the House Special Beef was. The owner told me it was Spicy Beef with Bok Choy. I asked if we could have extra veggies in it. She said yes. And finally the BBQ Pork Fried Rice. Food came, they looked exactly the same except one was beef and one was pork. They tasted exactly the same and the beef had no heat. The rice even tasted like the other two dishes. It all was more like a bland brown gravy instead of tasting like Chinese food. When my husband and I go out to Chinese Food, we never have leftovers. We didn't want to offend them so we got ToGo boxes. When we got home, it all went straight into the trash. My husband had a Diet Pepsi with dinner, I had my own water. With tip it was over $70.00. Two people came in to pick up take out orders, while we were there. So not much business and they definitely won't get ours again!

We are looking to go back to try all the different options available. Delicious "Asian Fusion" Thai, Vietnamese, etc options. They have some vegetarian and vegan options available too. Not sure if there is a plan to eventually, but they do not sell/serve alcohol at the location. We will be back soon!
