Fresno and Clovis no longer have Firehouse Subs and I regret not eating there when we did!…read more I ordered the grilled chicken rancher without ranch, and it was excellent. The bacon was perfectly thick and crispy, the chicken was fresh, and the quality of the cheese and mayo was great. I also sampled the brisket sandwich and fries, both of which were very impressive and high quality. Beyond the food, I was particularly pleased with the service. The manager or owner who took our order was incredibly friendly and professional. I would not mind this being a regular stop for me on my way to Santa Cruz or Monterey.

As far as chain sandwich places go, this one was awesome!…read moreThe place was clean. The staff was helpful and actually had personality (which seems to be missing in far too many people these days). The bread was the freshest I've eaten at ANY sandwich shop. I highly recommend!

Let me start by saying I am a very regular customer - I have come once or twice a week, nearly…read moreevery week, for the past 2 or 3 years. Their food is great, & I love the poke. I would've given this place 5 stars in the past, but their recent employees' service is extremely, extremely poor. Due to other responsibilities, I am often arriving about 30mins before close. There have been several occasions where they are cleaning up already, even 30mins before closing time. This leads to certain items being cleaned up/removed from display before they close, & their go to answer is that "they dont have anymore available for the day." It happens most often with the avocado, although it can also be other ingredients. This happens too often to be true, & on a few occasions, Ive had an employee go to the back & retrieve a small amount of avocado to add to my poke bowl, which is the appropriate action to take, but demonstrates 1. theyre not actually out & are being dishonest with customers & 2. they are cleaning things up & putting them away before it's an appropriate time to do so. Additionally, there was a time my fiancé & I arrived at 6:30pm & the worker helping us was so eager to close that as they rung us up they kept asking, "anything else? Anything else?" to rush us out of the restaurant. We both felt rushed & pressured, & when they asked "anything else?" & my fiancé went to look at the drinks to consider getting one, she continued to ask "anything else?" multiple times over before he even had a chance to look at what was available. He never even had a chance to look at what was available because she wanted to rush us out. This service is extremely dissatisfying, dishonest, & lacks integrity. From someone who comes once a week for years, the service has significantly gone downhill, & I do hope this is addressed in the future by leadership.

**Overall 3.5 stars**…read more Food: 4 stars I love poke, and the fish here was very fresh, and I enjoyed my medium-sized bowl (3 protein choices in a medium-sized bowl). Variety/menu: 3 stars There wasn't a large variety of add-ins or toppings (ie, your add-ins with your protein were only cucumbers and onions!) There were many protein options, including tofu, chicken and octopus. Only 2 fresh fish options (ahi tuna and salmon) and one spicy tuna...so the choices were limited. Location/venue: 3.5 stars There were tables inside and outside, which is nice, though they weren't cleaned. Nothing a napkin wipe wouldn't fix, so it wasn't a big deal. The bigger issues were that the restrooms were closed and the soda/water machine was out of order. Customer service: 3 stars They also were understaffed. There were 2 workers there, and my friend and I were the only customers. Yet we had to wait a good 12-15 mins before anyone helped us or even spoke to us because they were apparently filling to-go orders. I would've thought that with 2 workers, one could help the customers who were inside the restaurant while the other filled to-go orders. At least greet customers and let them know why you aren't helping them for awhile. This place scratches the poke bowl itch! Just try to avoid busy times, be ready to clean your own table, and be prepared to bring your own drink or buy bottled drinks there, otherwise you'll be thirsty!

My friends also enjoyed their meals. The portions were generous and the place is very well priced. As for the ambience, it is casual but has a fun colorful vibe and a lot of comfortable seating. The service was good and the food came out quickly, and I liked that tortilla chips and toppings were all complimentary. I had a positive experience!

(Disclaimer: this review is based on a takeout order, so I can't speak to the in-restaurant…read moreservice. And maybe other dishes are better, so take this with a grain of salt. Salt...haha.) I am so bummed. I was soooo busy that I hadn't eaten the day before and was craving Chinese food. A friend suggested we grab food and head to the beach, so I decided on Panda Inn, which I'd been wanting to try for some time now. I ordered Singaporean style rice noodles, which is said to be cooked with eggs, and vegetables, and curry sauce. That sounded delicious! On the phone, they asked what protein (ie, chicken, pork), so I chose tofu, which I didn't know at the time had an additional cost. It was +$3 for tofu! (He should have informed me, I think.) The order was prepared quickly and was hot. It was seasoned (salted), but there was no curry flavor (I was surprised to read this in the menu!) I also saw, smelled, felt, and tasted NO TOFU. *sigh*. It wasn't a huge deal, except that I really wanted some substance since that was the main thing I was eating in 2 days, that was what I ordered so I was expecting to see it, AND I had to pay extra for it! All in all, I was quite disappointed.
