    Fried pork. See, I was so hungry that I didn't get a chance to take photos.
    Ria D.

    My cousins kept talking about their fried pork so we decided to stop by. For the longest time, we never knew this place existed until a month ago where the other cousin brought some of their food for a family party. Came here on a random weekend night. There wasn't much of a crowd but there were a lot of people doing take out. There's plenty of parking outside and inside was nice and simple and clean. We got seated right away and were given water and were asked if we wanted tea, which we ordered. Nothing to write home about. I think this was one of those times where I didn't take a photo of the food. I was either super hungry or super distracted. But we ordered so many dishes and really the star of the show here are their fried dishes - fried pork, fried shrimp, fried chicken wings and fried fish. It was something about their batter that's so airy and light and not oily at all. It was also just enough flavor that you're starting to question how did they make it so so good. It was life changing to me that I have requested to visited this place anytime I'm in town. It was just so delicious! The hot and sour soup was excellent because it actually had a lot of wood ear mushrooms, tofu, bamboo shoots and egg. It had the right about of tart and a little bit of spice. We also ordered some wonton soup that was filled with so much vegetables and so many wontons. The wontons were plump and good flavor. We also ordered some green beans and those were still fresh and green, with a crunch. We also ordered some green beans with chicken. The chicken was nice and soft and the green beans were crunchy, it was a great balance of textures. The flavor was excellent and you can either eat it by itself or eat it with rice. There were a couple more dishes but I forgot what they were. In addition, we were all hungry and we didn't get to take a photo of the food. Will definitely come back here again and again. It's just too good - the fried pork and fish and shrimp and chicken. Can't want to go back! So so good!

    Mongolian Beef with Chow Mein and egg roll from Special Luncheon menu.

    Stopped in Wednesday to have lunch. Ordered Mongolian Beef off the Special Luncheon menu. I immediately noticed that the price had been reduced...YAY! Meal comes with cup of soup, choice of entree, choice of chow mein or fried rice and egg role. Staff was very attentive but not annoying. I took half of the meal home to eat for dinner as there was so much. Really love this place...been coming here since they first opened. If I drove I would go more often. No delivery is available.

    DO NOT EAT HERE Ordered food for takeout. Drove from San Jose and back home. While eating and feeding my kids I found a cockroach in the plate. It was so disgusting that I ran to the bathroom and starting vomiting NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN!!!!

    Hubby and I were craving for Chinese food and we always see Frannie's as it's right across the street from us. We decided to stop by there to grab some food after grocery shopping, as it is right before we hit home. From the outside it doesn't look much, but the inside was quite nice and big. We came in and looked at their menu to see what we wanted to order. The staff member was kind and didn't rush us as we took our time to decide. We ordered quite a few things so that we were able to have leftovers. We ordered salt & pepper spareribs, honey walnut prawns, beef & broccoli, orange chicken, hot & spicy tofu (with meat), bbq pork fried rice and chicken chow mein. They told us it'll be a bit of wait, so we decided to head home to put away groceries while we wait for the food. After about 20 minutes, we walked over to pick it up. Everything was delicious! Hubby and I really enjoyed everything. Flavors was just right! We will definitely be coming back here for more!

    Food is big portion, taste good, service a bit rude because of the language barrier, overall experience tho is still good. Worth the price.

    Thought the server could have been friendly feel like she kinda rude when we say good bye to her and the food taste kinda salty and too much sauce and look like the food been sitting kinda long so not sure it great to eat there but if I have to say less salt and sauce and server has to be more friendlier, it also kinda quiet there no music so yea the time we got there kinda late lunch

    A cockroach in the food

    IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 0 STARS I WOULD. I went with my family after picking them up from the airport on july 31 2025. I ordered a chicken katsu and found a LIVE COCKROACH in the sweet and sour sauce. After telling the waiter they were very nasty and rude about the whole situation. She then told us she'll "bring out another sauce" and that "sometimes this happens bc they're running around in the back".... but "the SAUCE doesn't have any IN the bottle.. "Disgusting. DONT COME HERE THEY HAVE LIVE COCKROACHES. DISGUSTING.

    I saw my friend post pictures of his food on Instagram, specifically a close up shot of RIBS. Now,…read moreanyone that knows me, knows that I love me some ribs....mmmmm, mmmm! When I asked him where he got the ribs, he said Famous Dave's. I knew that I had to try them out for myself. It was always one thing after another, but finally, I had time on a Wednesday afternoon. I didnt want to deal with a crowd and when I went, it was perfect. We were seated right away. Our service was Yanira and she was awesome. So friendly, answering all of our questions. I got the ribs and meat meal since I also wanted to try their chopped pork. My sides were Mac and Cheese and Tater Tots. When my order came, I got their special fries and before I could even say anything, another server came with a bowl of my tater tots apologizing for the mistake. No complaints here since I got another side. Everything was delicious. The ribs were tender. I also loved their BBQ sauce. I was going to order water, but since it was a special occassion, i ordered a Dr. Pepper and I was surprised that it came in a large mason glass jar. The Dr. Pepper wasn't peppering.....if you know you know, it just didnt taste strong, but I did enjoy that the drink was ice cold. They dont have coke, but serve pepsi products. The cornbread was perfection, warm and buttery. Disclaimer, the Mac and Cheese had corn in it, just stating if you care about that sort of thing. It was more on the saucy cheesy side. I never had Mac and Cheese like that, but since I love Mac and Cheese and I love corn so it was hit in my world. Portions are huge and I had to take some food home. Prices seem comparable to other places that serve BBQ. Lots of seating areas and I can see on special occasions or on the weekends, this place could get packed. Plenty of parking. This restaurant is off Winton, in the area where Panera is at. If you go all the way to the mall you have gone too far. I know that I will be coming back, I am curious to try their burnt tips. They have a loyalty program. You can sign up before, it is simple, or sign up there as you are eating.

    It has been a long time since I've been here and it still is a great place to get bbq. The menu has…read morea lot to choose from, we went with the bbq plate for 2 but it's enough to feed 3 to 4. Excellent sauce flavor, plus on the tables they have an assortment of sauces to add a little kick. The chicken and ribs were cooked to perfection. The meat fell right off the bone. The pork was so tender it melted in your mouth. The beans and coleslaw had great flavors. The plate included some cornbread that was baked with honey and butter that gave it a nice crust on top. Utensils are provided but don't be afraid to use your hands..it is a bbq joint. Hand wipes are available at every table if you get messy. Plenty of tables and booths for your comfort and large parties. A full bar with big screen tvs for game day or just to chill with friends. Give them a try.

    Cool place! The barbeque was good, similar to my filipino family's bbq at home. Pretty convenient…read morewhen you want that grilled taste without all the preparation -- I saw groups that just grilled skewers and took them to go. The grill was as big as it could be, for the size of the restaurant. But I could imagine when its busy it would take a while to get space on the grill. Luckily when I went this weekend, it wasn't busy and we had a lot of grill space to cook our food quickly. Was impressed by the chicken isaw! It wasn't bitter so you know it was clean. Also, I liked the longanisa! The sweetness was good with the suka. I got the cantaloupe juice, it was good but didn't have any shredded cantaloupe. Would come back though, maybe on a night where they have a DJ. Vibes!

    Bruh, I was going to comment that the hours are silly on this Yelp page, went to go double check…read moretheir Google page and apparently it's permanently closed? I'm gonna check with my NorCal moots about this but sucks if that's true. I was going to comment on how this is one of few bastions of affordable, slightly more unique food in the bay area, but I guess that's not the case. I'm spoiled by having a Dollar Hits in SoCal literally down the street from me so I can't say this place compares, but it's at least an option for NorCal, you know? This definitely used to be another restaurant, but then retrofitted to be a grill. Super large grill in the middle for everyone to communally cook at indoors. This is a good combination between the outdoors grill it yourself and the indoors seating of both the SoCal Dollar Hits, so I thought that was nice. They have all the classics here, isaw (sometimes Dollar Hits doesn't have this unless you request -it's chicken intestines), large intestines, chicken skin, kwek kwek (battered quail eggs), and Tender Juicy bright red filipino hot dogs (a must). You can also order a side of rice and the sauces were self serve (made it a bit sticky). It gets a bit smoky in there even with the fans, but overall had an enjoyable time the time when I did visit.
