In some ways,finding a great new restaurant is like finding a great new love affair…read more When you 1st hear of a place,your interest in stirred,When you see pics or videos of the food,it's like the butterflies one gets when infatuation begins.When you finally arrive at the restaurant and the food is everything you thought and hoped it would be,you get this smile that never goes away,just like a great romance.Finally when you think back to the time you spent at a restaurant and the joy and happiness it brought,it's similar to reminiscing about a beautiful time spent with a loved one. 3 Star restaurant in Vallejo is my latest love affair. I first heard about this place on social media when a few prominent food bloggers reviewed this spot and said their wings were the best wings outside of the legendary wing spot located in San Francisco. So I watched the videos and saw the pictures and I was truly excited to try them out. Well Mothers Day rolled around this year and I needed to bring an appetizer to my mothers party we were having that day in American Canyon & the idea of finally trying out their legendary dish was my entire focus. Driving down from Sacramento to get this dish wasn't the easiest of drives on a holiday but I was determined. I called my order in and as the saying goes,the worst the service the better the food-well I was pretty sure my food was going to be legendary based on that phone call. I ended up ordering both the Garlic Sauce Wings($15.95) and the Salt & Pepper Wings($15.95) This restaurant shares a decent sized parking lot with multiple tenants-so parking is not an issue.The neighborhood isn't the best part of Vallejo but I haven't had any issues yet with car security during my visits. When I arrived the restaurant was pretty busy but I noticed a worker had a full table that was full just for To-Go orders and I walked up to her and she handed me my receipt so I could go up to the cashier and pay. 5 minutes later I was in my car totally engrossed with the smell of this amazing chicken. I consider myself a true chicken wing expert and when I say these wings were pure flavor bliss-I truly mean it. The garlic sauce wings were a mix of sweet and savory and garlic with a slight spice-a wet wing experience that makes my mouth water just thinking back on. The salt and pepper wings were perfectly seasoned and a bite of that wing paired with the onion and Jalapeno toppings that come with the dish,can only be described as pure excellence. The chef truly has mastered the recipe and cooking technique on both of these dishes. Fun fact-due to various events in my life,I've had to drive to the Bay Area a few times since Mothers Day-I've been to this restaurant three times now in less than a week-I would say the love affair with this restaurant is burning quite hot at the moment.

Unfortunately for me, the wings were actually really good. Now I got to come back for it. They're…read moresuper busy because they blew up on social media for their garlic sauce chicken wings. To be fair, I've never had San Tung's wings before. Now I have to try to compare them. Family owned so if you come late, they're pretty backordered from dine in, but primarily takeout it seems. The sauce is soy sauce based - salty goodness. Wish there was actually some heat (there are chili peppers, but not spicy at all). Felt like it was more decorative since it didn't add any flavor... Onions are great, wish there were more as well. Rice is charged per person, so they just gave us a bowl - presumably you can refill? We also tried the honey walnut prawns, which were okay. Not a ton of shrimp but reasonably priced. Leaned more on the tangy mayo side than sweet, would probably try something different next time instead to accompany the wings.

I've had my eye on trying 88 Bao Bao in Vallejo for a long time. My family and I finally went to…read moretry them out a few weeks ago and we couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. Although they're a chain, they did not disappoint and are truly a great addition to the food scene in Vallejo, especially if you're craving dim sum and don't want to cross the bridge. Food was tasty, service was friendly and efficient, and the pricing was more than reasonable. 88 Bao Bao is located in the Gateway Plaza shopping center. There is free parking shared among the businesses with several slots very close to the front. The establishment itself is intimate, but has a few tables for people to dine in, if they choose. We placed a phone order and the time quoted for pickup was accurate. Our order consisted of: - a Beef Roll - Shrimp Dumplings - Shrimp & Pork Shaomai - Wonton in Chili Oil - Chocolate XLB As noted above, quantity and pricing was on point. Flavor and taste of everything we ordered was fantastic. The chocolate xiaolong baos were a great way to round out the meal. Don't skip out on them if you have a little bit of a sweet tooth! 88 Bao Bao made a strong first impression. My family and I will definitely be stopping by again. Looking forward to trying more items off of their menu.

My first thought when this came up on yelp was that it would be another one of those chain fusion…read moreChinese places. I was wrong. 88 Bao Bao makes some of the freshest dim sum I have ever eaten. We ordered two dishes and both were solid. The Beef Roll was my favorite. Loaded with flavor, freshly baked/fried, so delicious. The Har Gow was also tasty a simple combination of shrimp and ginger in a light noodle shell. Friendly service in a fast casual environment. Small place that can get pretty crowded. It's cool that you can browse the menu and order from a touchscreen at the table. We will definitely be back.

I'm glad we finally have a different restaurant to go to aside from Three Star. Love the owner, but…read moreneeded a change. We started coming here some time last year and I fell in love. Here are the things we liked and also one little critique from something that changed from then to now: Salt and pepper pork chops: these are super good. Nice and crispy and the pork is tender. Salt and pepper fish: I always go for salt and pepper fish anywhere I go and this by far is the best one! Mapo Tofu: they do it really well here. It's perfection and hubby's fav Siu Mai: definitely great! Would get again for sure. We don't have dim sum in Vallejo so this amazing that they have this. Dry beef chow fun: now, I have been on the hunt for chow fun that reminds me of my childhood and what we used to get in SF/chinatown. This was the closest! The first time we got it, omg. Mind blown!! We got one other time before things changed. The third time we got it and even this evening, it's not the same for sure. I have a knack for remembering taste and this is not the same anymore. If anything it tastes spicy in a way they added more black pepper? Something in there is giving it that flavor. It's also darker than before like more soy sauce. I'm a little sad by this. Probably the last time I will get it. I got it tonight in the hopes it would go back to normal and the last time was a one off. Sadly it was not. The guy owner (I think he's the owner) is really nice and welcoming. If you read this, please fix the chow fun :(

Omgggg deliciousssss. I've had this from other Chinese restaurants but this one tastes a hell of a lot better than all the other ones. They make it so fresh that it's hard not to eat while driving. My husbands family are all from the south. At the last party, his 78 year old grandma cried saying "it's just like daddy used to make it". She immediately told her sister. I wish they had another location. Had to coordinate to have this picked up coming from Fairfield. Ambiance- not much ambiance here. Very straight forward. No sit down area, everything is to go. The area is not the best so I can't fault them to keeping it to the essentials of food business. I grew up in Vallejo and coming here used to not feel unsafe but unfortunately it is what it is now. Still, very good customer service here.

One of our local favorites. Been coming here since I was little and they always stay consistent…read more Food taste great,always so generous with serving and you can't beat the price. $10-$11 for plates that is full to the top. We also use them for parties. Their party trays are priced well also. Salt pepper chicken,salt pepper fish,smelt fish and even their garlic brocolli is so good to name a few favorite dishes.Only sad part is they are close on Sundays and Mondays. The staff are always pleasant. Today we got one item with half fried rice and half chowmein with beef and brocolli and the other one is two item half and half with sweet sour pork and salt papper chicken all for $ about $24.

V1 Grilled Turmeric Chicken - Wow, what a beautiful presentation; see pictures. With good flavors and generous portions, but I felt it needed a little more noodles? Or less lettuce?

Semi open kitchen, and amazing clean, especially for being 5 years new! See picture. Single unisex clean modern restroom. Open 5 days a week from Wednesdays to Sundays from 11am to 8pm. The last seating is at 7:30pm as the kitchen closes at 7:45pm. Please be respectful of their time also. Plenty of private parking. Service - 6 stars; both "girls" up front and the owner were very welcoming. Better yet, I can tell with the interaction between the owner and his team that he has built a good culture here. Great job and keep up the good work. Price - $30 + generous tip. Cash discount available. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2020. What a great find! Since I now have to spend more time in Vallejo, I hope to make you a regular visit.

So helpful and accommodating with the planning, and the staff provided the best service during the event. The food was served buffet style. So many menu items that you can pick from.

Not sure if there is a plan to eventually, but they do not sell/serve alcohol at the location. We will be back soon!
