    Dinner plate B: sweet and sour chicken, broccoli and beef, shrimp fried rice, 2 fried prawns and egg roll  Price: 21.45

    I came for the food, not the ambiance--and I wasn't disappointed. To my surprise, the chicken retained its crunch despite being coated in a sweet and sour marinade, which had a pleasant flavor. The rice was fluffy and well-seasoned. The broccoli was firm, the beef tender, and the prawns had a satisfying crunch while remaining juicy. The egg roll wasn't my cup of tea, but it might be yours. Price: 21.45

    I'd give it 4 stars for the affordability and overall quality and taste of the food. We came in on a Saturday around 2PM and were unsure if they were offering dine in. The lady behind the counter said yes and handed us two takeout menus. We sat and looked over the menus and when ready had to go up to the booth to order, where I was also rung up at the time of ordering. We ordered two lunch specials: mongolian beef with chow mein, general chicken with fried rice, and an order of potstickers. The potstickers came out quickly but were pretty bland inside and the wrappers were really thick (we didn't even finish one whole one). The lunch specials we ordered came out soon after in to- boxes. I found it odd that the mongolian beef was sauteed with zucchini and carrots as I'm used to it being an onion forward dish. It still tasted good, just different than I expected. The rest of the food was great and nothing to complain about! Id definitely return If I find myself in Vallejo again.

    Re my to go orders, the lady cashier cooked the pork wonton soup and the male cook did the sweet and sour pork. The sweet and sour pork is a bit on the really sweet and quite very sour side. But I was satisfied because it was a considerable portion and the meat inside was juicy, not dry and old. The wonton soup has very soggy Napa cabbage. At first I was impressed because the container seemed like it has many wontons in it. But my happiness turned into major disappointment because the soup tastes nothing beyond chicken powder seasoning. The meat in the wonton is quite red and scary, too. I am sorry to say that I feel like I threw my money in the garbage bin.

    In our quest to support local restaurants, ordered from Kwongnan - a small hole in the wall place. Surprisingly delicious! Fresh veggies, not salty, perfect, tasty 5/5 Chow fun, bean sprouts 5/5 Chicken fried rice 4/5 Love that we found a new local business we can support!

    General Tso chicken (8.5/10) and shrimp chow fun (8.5/10)

    I moved to Vallejo in the beginning of 2019 and have only eaten a few of the Chinese spots out here. The couple that I have tried were all decent but nothing special or beyond just okay. With that being said let me just simply say that Kwongnan cooks up some really good dishes! We ordered the War(they call it house special I think) Won ton soup, general tso chicken, shrimp chow fun, salt and pepper pork, and a crab Rangoon appetizer. Everything was cooked great and every dish tasted good or even better. Now let me get to the cold hard truth about this place. This place is not listed on Uber eats or any other app like that. With this place having the best overall in Vallejo area (out of 4 other locations) you would think that the service and the way the business is ran would be matching in some way... WRONG. Lol. The lady and old man who are always there tag teaming the place are probably the owners and just don't have it in them to tighten up business practices. I won't mention all the bad cuz I'm still coming back for the food I'm just calling before to make sure they CHOOSE TO ACCEPT CARDS the day you go because I ordered two days in a row and second day I show up to pay and pick up lady tells me in person (instead over the phone when she took my order down and asked me literally four times did I want to add anything smh) that the card machine is down today like I didn't just pay with my card 17hours ago. Luckily, they spend their energy making sure the food is on point! Which is crazy because I've read reviews that the old owners had better food here!? Anyways, if you ain't all boujee bout them hood gems with the good food and ugly place this will definitely be a winner for you! But if you expect to bring your family in for a nice meal with ambience to match just step back and take a look at the outside of the restaurant lol it's a clear indication of what the inside is like. Food is really good but the old place hasn't been tended to since Covid 2020. They even got pictures of sushi rolls on the wall but not on the menu Hahaha! Come onnn This place isn't for everyone but take it to go and eat at home it will heighten the experience of trying their food. Food here is 5 stars plus! Service and ambience is in the negative stars lol but I'm coming back!!! I can deal with crap service by just taking food to go... I have a hard time dealing with wasting time, money and sometimes stomach health on crap food

My mom wanted the seafood ramen and my dad wanted the wonton ramen. I know they don't eat too much so I figured to share with them and just ask for an extra bowl. My parents don't like spice so I asked for them to not have any spice in it. Their wonton ramen was a tonkatsu base and it was pretty good. They had huge mandu style wontons that I enjoyed with the bakchoy and hard boiled egg. The seafood ramen is the most expensive and it comes with shrimp, fish balls, bamboo, corn, sprouts, boiled egg and green onions. The shrimp were huge pieces and I enjoyed the ramen noodles. The flavoring tasted like regular ramen to me. Overall it was a busy flow for a Saturday night both with people ordering take out and those dining in. They also have sodas and Hawaiian bbq plates to order plus tons of other sides you can get ala cart. Service was quick!

As for the bún bò Huế, I actually asked the waiter about it beforehand and she mentioned it wasn't very traditional and that she personally didn't prefer it. Honestly, I should've trusted that. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't the best or what I was hoping for. I'll stick to their pho moving forward. I also ordered a to-go soup for my dad, and this is where things were disappointing. The packaging just isn't great -- especially compared to other pho spots nearby. The soup was spilt all inside the trunk of the car. They don't double-bag it, the container itself felt slippery and not very secure. In my opinion, pho like this can be a bit hazardous for takeout if it's not packaged well. To be fair, the spill of the box was partially my fault while juggling my phone, but the container didn't help the situation. I'm mainly sharing this as feedback on the takeout packaging. For me, this is a place I'd rather dine in than order to-go. Overall, it's not a bad spot -- the pho is solid -- but it's not quite my go-to. I'd come back, just with adjusted expectations.
