My wife and I came to Hello Shabu after the lunch rush, at about 2pm. The place was almost empty…read more The tables were all clean and the cold bar was fully stocked. Lunch for two was $71. We were seated immediately and the server took our broth and 2 meat orders. My wife got the beef broth with chuck eye and brisket. I got the exact same thing. You have a variety of cold foods to choose from to add to your hot pot, from seafood to vegetables. Then you can make a dish of dipping sauce from the ingredients at the bar. They have a sign with suggestions for different sauces. There's also a got bar with corn cheese, KFC and bulgogi. These are mediocre. The shabu is good The slices meats are fresh and they come around often to check on you and refill your broth and meat. My wife loved it and we had a great meal.

Aloha gang! Thought it was time to revisit Pan Asia Buffet. I was coming back from a Sunday…read moreafternoon at the casino in Temecula and was in the mood for an all you can eat buffet. When I arrived, the restaurant was packed. I had to check in and take a number, but they managed to seat us in under 10 minutes. If you're not into crowds, I would definitely avoid Sunday's. My usual visits are during the weekdays when they open first thing for lunch. You get first pick of the buffet offerings and it's much more enjoyable without the crowd. My faves are the Chow Mein, Teriyaki Beef, Fried Rice and Honey Walnut Shrimp. So....if you have a craving for AYCE buffet, check it out!

I was really excited to try out our second buffet near Oceanside since we moved here a few months…read moreback. Unfortunately it wasn't a place I will be going back to. The place smells decent, decently easy to find so no issues there. Cleanliness: the Buffett definitely needs some upgrading and cleaning. The rug smells and feels sticky to walk on, the counter area was clean but the ice cream section needed a deep clean, the cones were out of the packing and stale. The sprinkles were covered in ice cream and all over the place. The machine was covered in dried ice cream and caked on. I did not go into the restrooms, so I am not sure Food: cold. Everything except for the hibachi I got was cold. Shrimp, pork, chicken, all cold. They have an okay variety of deserts but other than the coffee and orange ones they were pretty bad. The flavor of the food was good, but the temperature of it was what really grossed me out and worry about food poisoning. It was during dinner at around 4pm so crab legs were included. My daughter devoured them and so did I. Best part of the buffet. Customer service: the waiters were very nice and kept our table clear. As soon as they notice we had our empty plates they would come around and grab them. I did notice and maybe it was just for that moment but we did get different waiters just grabbing our plates. Maybe they are doing a system where everyone waits on every table. Whatever they were doing it worked! We did mention at the end that our food was cold after we had paid and all because we were asked how we liked it. She did apologize and told us we should have brought up sooner so they could warm it up. That since it was slow the food gets cold. It was nice she apologized and all, but working in the food industry myself it is not any of the customers job to remind you to keep an eye on food temps. And you're supposed to keep food hot. Regardless they were nice. Would I come back? No. Would I recommend it? No. $60 for two adults $9 for my 4 yr old and $5 for my two yr old. So basically $80 for a family of 4 for cold food. Flavor was good though. So if you want to try it maybe you're lucky and get hot foods

My colleagues and I were in town for a conference and staying about a mile and a half from here. I…read moreran it and raved about the beef and crispy noodles and the calamari. On our journey to Palm Springs my team left the food choices to me since I'm picky. Lol. We showed up on a Wednesday night (note that they do not open Monday and Tuesday), around 4:40 PM. There was already a long line of individuals waiting to get in. There were about 15 people ahead of us. At opening, we were immediately sat down into the second dining room to the right of the restaurant. It gives a different vibe than the main room with its red bench seating and lantern ceiling. Although the benches were high, and the tables were a little low, we managed. Of course, we tried the complementary congee. Which I love, but my colleagues were not a big fan of. We ordered the calamari and the crispy beef noodle. We also ordered the shrimp and mango spring roll, the softshell crab and green papaya salad, and the pork belly lettuce wraps. The shining stars, for my colleagues were the calamari and crispy beef noodle. Followed by the shrimp and mango spring rolls and the softshell crab. The three of us did not enjoy the pork belly at all even though it came recommended. We actually only ate 2 pieces. The food overall was good although we wish we didn't get the pork or at least stuck to our goal of four main dishes. The waitress recommended we get one more and that's when we added the pork. Next time we will go with our gut instinct. One thing that was disappointing on this visit was that when we ordered drinks, one of them came out in a can. We were under the assumption it was a draft pour. For $14 it should have been noted that it is canned. The way that it is written into the menu no one would assume otherwise.

The food was the worst I've ever had. So much sugar in everything. Every sauce especially the coconut cream sauce for the calamari and the curry sauce and the sauce for the spring rolls. We ate it because we were starving but the after effects were awful. Our blood sugar spiked. What a let down. You're better off going to the Holiday House especially Thursday night for their famous fried chicken or brunch on Sundays and any lunch or dinner. Holiday House info from their site: Lunch Monday thru Sunday | 11am-4pm Brunch (Returning October 4th) Saturday & Sunday | 10:30am-3pm Dinner Nightly | 5pm-9pm At The Pantry, they serve a fresh, modern take on classic Americana cuisine by blending traditional favorites with elevated flavors, creative techniques, and influences inspired by California living. The menu highlights the incredible abundance of the Coachella Valley, featuring farm-fresh produce, locally sourced meats, artisanal cheeses, and seasonal ingredients that celebrate the beauty and flavor of the Palm Springs region. Every dish is designed to be both comforting and memorable, with a true sense of place in every bite. And the atmosphere is stunning, fresh, delightful. And Juan Sanchez the food and beverage director is a wonderful and super kind person.

How could I ever have the traditional Osso Buca again having tried this transformative vision! We also were introduced to the lobster popcorn (I leave the description to your imagination...because the preparation will surprise you with culinary delight!). Fellow guests had their usual preferred bowls, a vegetarian pad Thai that was worth singing about and some wonderful grilled pork and veggies. Trying to plan our next visit to this gem in the desert.

LOCATION: Nice shopping center location, very open with lots of parking. FACILITY: Very nice, not modern inside and has not changed since they opened but totally fine. MENU: Lunch menu is kind of limited but has all the goodness and noodle choices you'd expect. Not much savings for lunch special. FOOD PREP: Very well done for such a small kitchen. FOOD QUALITY: Really good for what it is, I would have liked a bit more spice or to at least to have been asked for spice level options. I'd say spice level was like a 1 at other Thai places. Rice noodle was great. WAITSTAFF: We arrived at open 11:30am, very nice and attentive getting us seated and order in, then they were packed. Only one person on the floor doing everything, he was amazing dealing with seating, orders, and payment. OVERALL VALUE: It is fair but not inexpensive, a good value for sure for our local place that is reliable and consistent. TIP: This is a small restaurant so be kind, when busy they can only go so fast getting your food delivered or the check, They do take out as well.

My party of 10 was very grateful to have gotten a reservation the day of for a birthday…read morecelebration. The hostess noted that reservations could be made at least three hours in advance. For a Saturday at 4:30pm, we were seated and waited on immediately. The menu was expansive and I was surprised with the amount of vegetarian options for a Chinese restaurant. Our server was helpful in suggesting various fish options and knew their wait times. Some notable dishes were the sizzling beef with black pepper, beef scallion rolls, honey walnut chicken, mapo tofu, and fried chicken. The dishes that could be improved for flavor were the vegetarian steamed dumplings, steamed whole fish, and beef chow fun. We probably ordered around 8-10 plates (all dishes came with rice) and many arrived at the same time. The prices were very reasonable for the portions and it was just enough for everyone. Since we had a birthday celebrant, they were able to put our personal cake in the fridge. Our server provided a complimentary matcha cheesecake and candle towards the end of our meal. His robot server sidekick also sang happy birthday! I did feel like they were understaffed because the lobby hostess had to find the server for me several times when I asked for our cake and the check. Overall, it's a great place for large groups and celebrations.

Today, I visited this restaurant with a party of five and wanted to share my experience…read more Unfortunately, our first interaction set a negative tone for the visit. When we arrived, the hostess attempted to seat us at a table that would not have comfortably accommodated our group. I politely asked if we could be seated at a nearby table that had more space. In response, she rolled her eyes and let out an audible sigh, which felt unprofessional and dismissive. When we were eventually seated at the requested table, she placed the menus down abruptly and did not hand one to me directly, instead leaving it at the end of the table. The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude and, frankly, not in line with the level of service I would expect from a hostess. That said, I want to note that the rest of our experience was positive. Our server was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout our meal. The food itself was also very good (I would not recommend the orange chicken though) and something I would return for. I hope management takes the opportunity to address the front-of-house experience, as first impressions matter and can significantly impact a guest's overall perception. (She was white and had unique, colorful, round glasses)

I ordered the combination pho and the meatballs had good flavor, but the noodles were way too overcooked. The noodles would break upon trying to pick them up. The broth was also okay but not my favorite. I felt that it tasted heavily of clove and star anise that it was almost sweet or heavy. I also ordered the chili oil wontons and they lacked a bit of flavor. I also wish the chili oil was a bit stronger in taste and spice. I usually use a spoon or two for pho but for this one, I used 4+ and it added no flavor.

Great employees and Great Fried Seafood Udon Noodle!!!…read more My family and I shared the Xiao Long Bao, the Fried Seafood Udon Noodle, the BBQ Pork Noodle Soup, and the Combo Pala Fried Rice XO Sauce. The Xiao Long Bao comes with 5 of them, and they come with soy sauce and picked ginger. They look amazing, but most of the soup fell out because the dough stuck to the parchment paper. The meat inside the Xiao Long Bao is decent, and it pairs great with the pickled ginger and soy sauce. The Fried Seafood Udon Noodle was a favorite out of all the dishes we ordered. It doesn't taste greasy, and everything in the dish is paired well together. The texture of the noodles were perfect, and there's no complaints about the dish. The BBQ Pork Noodle Soup tasted a bit greasy, but the noodles seem to pair well with the BBQ Pork Wontons. The wontons didn't have a strong BBQ Pork flavor, but it did taste different enough from regular pork wontons where you could consider it BBQ Pork. The Combo Pala Fried Rice XO Sauce looked great, but it also tasted greasy. The components in the fried rice were great, but there was just this greasy taste all over. The service was amazing. All the employees were so kind, helpful, and all smiles. They're all very quick, and they're all great! There's plenty of seating inside of the restaurant, and there's seating outside the restaurant. The line for ordering at the restaurant can become long very quickly, but luckily the employees are fast with taking orders and placing orders. The restaurant is unfortunately in a "Smoking Allowed" zone of the casino so it can get a bit nauseating to eat outside the restaurant. I would come here again! The Fried Seafood Udon Noodle was great, and I'd get it again!

It was my first time ordering the chilaquiles and it was actually the best chilaquiles I've had so far. The others I've had either green or red sauce were usually overly sour. Definitely recommend. We also got the skillet and the ham and cheese omelet. Both dishes were good. I was craving juice so we ordered a round of OJ. Bad idea. They charged $5 per OJ and came in a cup half the size of the water cup. What a rip off. Stay away from the OJ. Otherwise the food here is usually pretty good. We've also tried the prime rib and steak and eggs. Both were good. The restaurant is inside the casino so you get a view of the pool or the slot machines. Service is very slow. This time around our food took forever to come out. I was a bit pissed off cause the food arrived at our neighboring tables before us when we arrived and ordered way before them. Not sure what happened there. Until the next time we visit Morongo.

Nothing memorable…read more It had taken us, and everyone in line behind us, at least 20 minutes to get seated, because there was no front desk attendant. He or she was off in the back doing god knows what. Once seated, drinks didn't come for another 10 minutes after requesting. Alcohol took another 10 minutes, added to the original. Food had taken another 30 minutes, added onto the original time. We had literally waited over an hour for anything real to transpire from this place. I can only imagine the guests prior. Once food arrived, it was no big whoop. I've had better. Asked for my check, and didn't give a tip. The waiter was slow and incompetent. Didn't even ask for refills at any point. Speaking of waiters, there was only one waiting on all tables, while there were other staff working and doing absolutely nothing. On top of all of that, the casino was pretty garbage. Bonuses were not happening...LMAO!!!
