three plates of food on a wooden table - A wooden table holds several plates of Asian fusion dishes, including stir-fried vegetables, meat, and sauce-based dishes. Some plates have partially eaten food, with utensils resting on them. There are drinks, including a can of Coca-Cola and a soy sauce bottle, and a person's arm is visible in the background. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment.

Good service, place is clean, food is not good. We didn't finish anything, because of bland greasy flavor. Water had a plastic taste, sweet and sour tasted like ketchup.

Sweet and Sour Pork
Shelly S.

Service is a little slow but both sever and chef are very sweet. The wonton soup is prepared different then we are use to but very good. We also had general chicken, sweet & sour pork and chicken chow main which were all delicious. The environment is pretty and very quiet. There was a dirty spoon out of us three and a lot of water spots on glassware partnered with slow service gives it the four stars or this would have been five stars! Easy improvements!

Sweet and sour pork - A close-up image of sweet and sour pork served on a white plate. The dish includes battered pork pieces coated with a glossy red sauce, along with sliced onions and vegetables. The presentation emphasizes the texture of the crispy pork and the vibrant color of the sauce.

Over all it was good food very attentive service and clean space. We most likely come again

Some of the best General's Chicken. I wish you could hear this crisp chicken crunch.
R H.

This place is good! The best General's Chicken I have had in a while! I have had a General's Chicken at nearly every Chinese food restaurant I have ever been to and this was some of the best. The chicken was crispy and hot. The sauce never had a chance to soften it. Even toward the end of our meal the chicken was still crisp. NOTE: I did get General's Chicken to go one time and ended up with soggy breading so eat this in the restaurant just as it is cooked. The sushi was satisfying. Basic in appearance, but tasty. I enjoyed the purple cabbage and cucumber. Not overly sauced like so many others. The sushi chef takes his time to make fresh rolls. If you are looking for some good Chinese food and tasty sushi, stop into Lotus. A small family business worth a visit!

At 9:05pm on a weekday, good to know salvation for my empty stomach is at hand in Ukiah!

See all

I can get a steak for less in Ukiah and the food wasn't that great. At these prices, it should have been fantastic. Not recommended.

I was in a motel and didn't want to go out, so I did DoorDash. I ordered the wor wonton soup, the…read moregarlic chicken, with a side order of white rice. The order comes quickly, and the food is very hot. The soup was excellent. A huge container with lots of goodies! The broth was delicious. The veggies were done. Well, the wontons were tender and delicious, and there were plenty of the pork, chicken, and shrimp, and they were also done very well. The garlic chicken was just as good. I could smell the garlic as soon as I opened the container. There was plenty of rice, the chicken was tender, and the veggies were just right. The rice was done perfectly, and it went with the Dish very very well. I had enough soup and garlic chicken to have a nice breakfast as well. The price was reasonable considering I got two meals out of it. The only thing I could say, was they could see that it was a DoorDash order, but I don't know if they could see that it was going to a motel. If they could see that, they should've realized that most motels don't have bowls or plates The garlic chicken and the rice came in small "to go containers", and I had no plates or anything, so it made it kind of hard to eat. The next time I order from this place, I will ask them to include a to go tray. I will order from this place again. Thank you.

It's looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but every table was full . I ordered hot and sour soup, fried rice, chow mein, lemon, chicken, and sweet and sour pork. They did not out the sauce in the sweet and sour pork or lemon chicken which was great as I live about an hour away. So when I got back home I just heated up the food in my walk with the sauce and it was so good, tasted like it was just made. I was very impressed with all the dishes, they were all great. Will definitely be going back.

Solid Japanese style restaurant serving beautifully curated and thoughtfully prepared small dishes…read morein a seemingly unexpected location on the Mendocino / Sonoma coast ! We recently relocated to Sonoma county (The Sea Ranch) from Silicon Valley (Menlo Park) and have had some nice meals along the coast since we moved here FT (Harbor House, Ledford House etc) but this little spot is a real gem. Friends recommended it so we had a double date night and filled the table with all sorts of goodies. Great evening and food. Highly recommended. Small, simply situated on a very quiet street in Point Arena. A few doors down from a decent locally sourced weed shop (also worth a visit BTW), and a local fish monger (Point Arena is a commercial fishing port) and solid local bakery (Pelican), this excellent restaurant serves up a variety of rotating locally sourced small plates and yakatori style grilled meats and veggies as well as some raw fish and stews as well. Highlights were the sashimi, the fish roe on rice, the grilled pork belly, the grilled cabbage salad, the tempura shrooms and the fried chicken oysters as well as the grilled chicken thighs. All excellent. They have a nice selection of saki's as well (we had 2 small bottles to share $20/each) and to close the meal we had the Matcha ice cream with passion fruit ! All in for 4 people including tax and tip $250...which in today's world seemed very fair to me. Great meal and great vibe overall. Chef/owners apparently have strong training and work experience in Japanese settings and fine dining restaurants- which may explain why this place does very simple things so well... Make a reservation on the weekends otherwise you'll miss out or end up eating at the bar. There are certainly worse things to do than that...however, trust me. Visit here and thank me later. Well done Izakaya Gama ! We will be back. This will undoubtedly be on our regular "locals dining out rotation" now. Bravo Izakaya Gama !

The food was genuinely…read moredelicious, and I'd even argue it's impressively authentic--no Japanese staff, but absolutely Japanese-level execution. Every dish landed. Fried, grilled, steamed, raw... not a single miss. We were staying just up the block on a short getaway, and this ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the trip. At one point we were talking about Rintaro in SF, and the chef overheard us--she mentioned he knew the folks there and spoke highly of them. Honestly, after eating here, I think Gama is better, and at a much friendlier price point. Warm atmosphere, great food, and a chef who clearly cares about what they're doing. This place is a win all around.

I went about 8 months ago and the waiter that took my order, brought me the wrong ramen bowl. It was still delicious, just unfortunate that he wasn't really listening. And then I went a few months ago and was disappointed because the waitress had just received multiple to go orders and she told me I would have to come back. At the time I was a bit frustrated and decided I wouldn't go back. I'll be honest I was a bit hangry. I just got in town and gave it another chance! So glad I did! I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen. Delicious. Savory. Exactly what I wanted on a rainy dark day! I've also had the Ford Ranch Filet mignon ramen, which was also savory and warming. I didn't have the experience of too much chimichurri. I always get the spice bomb. I'm glad I went back! Still my favorite place to go to when I get into town! Thank you!!!

Shocked to find something this good in Willits. Could not tell it was open though. There is no "open" sign and the light on top of the door was not obvious. I spent 30 seconds peering through the window, and apparently the server was waving at me, but I could not see inside. I only happened to try the door which was unlocked. I'm not saying this as a boomer. I've lived in a lot of places and eaten at a lot of restaurants. Give it a shot, you will not be disappointed.

Jyun Kang Vegetarian - A Meal That Quietly Resets You…read more Some meals speak in flavor. This one speaks in quiet. Jyun Kang is not modern plant-based cuisine. It isn't creative, trendy, or reinvented. This is the kind of vegetarian cooking that comes from older traditions - simple, steady, and designed to calm you more than impress you. And maybe that's why the dining room is always full. White, Black, Indian, Asian - everyone sits at the same wooden tables, eating the same humble dishes with an ease that feels rare these days. The Food: Old-School, Temple-Style, and Intentionally Quiet Nothing here tries to stand out. The dishes are: * lightly seasoned * clean and balanced * tofu, vegetables, and wheat gluten prepared the way temple kitchens have done for decades * no heavy oil, no aggressive spices, no sharp flavors It's not meant to overwhelm you. It's meant to lower the noise inside you. In a strange way, the quietness is the flavor. This is the type of meal where your nervous system shifts down a gear without you realizing it. The Atmosphere: A Dining Room Wrapped in Calm Steps away from the main courtyard of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the restaurant feels like an extension of the grounds themselves. Light streams in softly. People speak gently. Even the clinking of dishes feels slower, more deliberate. Eating here isn't just eating - it's entering a different pace of life. A White Peacock After Lunch After the meal, a white peacock walked across the courtyard - unhurried, soft-footed, almost unreal in how quietly it moved. White peacocks are often considered auspicious, but even without any symbolism, the moment felt grounding - a small, unexpected pause that matched the tone of the meal. Not many restaurants offer you that. The Walk Afterward Part of the experience is what happens once you step outside: * walking past tall trees * seeing peacocks on rooftops * watching families stroll through the open grounds * letting your mind cool in the same way your body just did This isn't a restaurant visit. It's a reset. Verdict: A Place That Nourishes More Than Hunger Jyun Kang serves exactly what it intends to serve: pure, old-style temple vegetarian food, quietly and consistently. It won't dazzle you, but it will steady you. And sometimes, that is worth more than flavor. If you want boldness, go elsewhere. If you want a meal that lowers the volume of your day - come here.
