Walked in today to a nice clean restaurant and really friendly yet informative employees. Wasn't…read moresure where the line started to order though but figured it out quick. On the lechon window is a label that's reads out "22 LB". So I made the mistake of assuming the lechon rolls were 22 lbs each. It's actually $22 per pound of lechon. Rolled Lechon Belly. Tastes nothing like the extraordinary well seasoned Cebu Lechon you would get from Cebu. It's just basic Lechon you can get anywhere else. Diniguan. It's a watery mess of shredded and chopped meat. I ordered a large and what I got a whole container of just watery tasteless sauce with the large container filled with 1/4 meat that lacked spices and flavor. Pancit - flavor was little less than basic. They don't even stuff the Togo box. Spending money for bridge toll is not worth it at all. Probably good if there isn't really nothing else around, you're lazy and you live really really really close by. Like the next street over close.

We ordered the meal plate w/ 2 entrees: half Garlic Rice (best to go in the AM before they run out) / half Pansit, and a double order of the Lechon (Roast Pork) Sisig. Bam! Way better than Panda Express lol...they even include a free soda! Service can be a little slow, but we noticed that's only because they take the time to pack things carefully to prevent spills. That is attention to detail that I can appreciate. Some advice - going at lunchtime will be very busy, so either give yourself extra time (or patience), or try going in the morning when all the food is freshly available. Enjoy!

I wanted to share a disappointing experience I had during my recent visit to your restaurant…read more The cashier was warm, friendly, and engaging with the customers before me, but when it was my turn, her demeanor completely changed. I asked if I could have an extra to-go bowl, and she simply replied, "No, we don't do that." While that wasn't the answer I was hoping for, I accepted it without issue. What bothered me was what happened next. When I asked for utensils, instead of handing them to me, she placed them on the counter for me to pick up, doing so with a dismissive attitude. She then proceeded to speak in Tagalog in a way that made me feel she assumed I couldn't understand her. It came across as rude, disrespectful, and hurtful. My family owns the childcare center directly behind your restaurant, and we have supported your business for a long time. We are also actively involved in the local community and workj closely with the City and the Mayor's office through our childcare programs. It was especially disappointing to feel as though I was treated differently because she assumed I wasn't Filipino. Everyone deserves to be treated with the same level of courtesy and respect, regardless of their appearance or background. Unfortunately, this experience has cost your restaurant a loyal customer. I will also be sharing my experience with my professional and community network, as I believe businesses should be held to a consistent standard of customer service. I hope you take this feedback seriously so that no one else has a similar experience.

After a long drive from San Francisco, I've been spending a lot of time in Vallejo over the last…read morecouple of weeks, and I'm honestly disappointed that I didn't try this place sooner. On my first day in Vallejo, I tried another Vietnamese restaurant across town, and it was such a disappointment that I almost swore off Vietnamese food in Vallejo altogether. Being from Sacramento, where we're fortunate to have some of the best Vietnamese food in California, my expectations are pretty high when it comes to authentic Vietnamese cuisine. I arrived about five minutes before closing because of traffic, and even though they were already past their closing time, they still welcomed me in, took my order, and treated me with kindness. That level of hospitality is rare and greatly appreciated. I ordered the cơm tấm with shrimp, egg, and grilled meat, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly. The meat was flavorful and tender, the shrimp was grilled perfectly, and the egg had a soft yolk that tied the whole dish together. It tasted exactly like the authentic Vietnamese food I grew up eating with my family. Every bite brought back memories of home. The cherry on top was finding out that the restaurant is family-owned and operated. When I visited, it was a father and son working together, helping customers and running the restaurant with genuine care. You can tell they take pride in both their food and their service. I plan on continuing to spend time in Vallejo, and I will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food, generous portions, and warm family hospitality, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

It's always good to "follow" his business on IG just to make sure you know his location before heading out. Since this might be my only visit to Cooked By Gio, I wanted to try more than 1 item. I decided to get the Combo Plate ($23) which comes with any 2 Proteins + Rice & Salad; not a bad price at all for a food truck. His wife was the cashier, and she was very friendly. Expect a wait time of 7-10 minutes, as food is made *FRESH TO ORDER*. The Sinigang Chicken wings were absolutely amazing. A nice sour-citrus flavor came thru, and the crunch of the batter was *chefs kiss*. I wish I had eater slower to enjoy them just a little while longer. Now onto the Pork Sisig. As a Filipino who was missing flavors of home, this gave me what I was looking for. Delicious pieces of pork tossed with lots of onions and chilies, that my craving was satiated. I'm more of "team mayonnaise" (this didn't have it), but I definitely recommend "Cooked By Gio" to all my kababayans and friends of kababayans as well! GIO IS THROWING IT DOWN!
