Between the 3 offerings in the area Relo, Jade's cafe, and Lee's I'd say Relo has a solid chicken, but if I want the melt in your mouth pork belly I'm probably going to Jade's cafe.

NOMd: - 2 spam musubis (1 regular + 1 without sesame)…read more honestly havent liked any of the spam musubis in the area except for this one. actually sauced up and the spam was cooked with a little sear. the sesame one wasn't overpowered with sesame and didn't have much of a difference in taste compared to the one without. service, etc.: tiny space with about 4 small tables and some patio seating. i was stunned that the estimate time for 2 spam musubis was 20 min but upon arriving I quickly realized why. place was popping with so many people getting takeout. will be coming here for my spam musubi fix!

I asked for hot water and it was served in a proper cup which I appreciated. This time, I went alone for a quick bite. Food was still great but the lady taking the order and serving gave a "couldn't care less" attitude. Hot water was served in plastic cup which I ended up not drinking. The 4-stars rating is on the service experience. I will still go back to support the business because the food is good.

It's in a complex across the street from the Livermore/San Francisco Premium Outlets with other restaurants, and there is a decent sized parking lot which I'm sure gets used by Outlet Shoppers. This restaurant's location is decorated nicely, has a number of tables spread out and a couple TV's. I've gotten takeout once and dined in once, the most recently dine in I ordered the Hanoi Trio Pork which has pork and fish cakes cooked in a fish sauce based sauce with a carrot and green papaya salad. Also comes with vermicelli, lettuce and herbs so you can eat them as wraps. I've had this dish at other Ao Sen's and this was presented very well and tasted good. My wife had a #1 beef pho which seemed pretty good, the beef products were fresh. The staff turned around our order in a timely manner on a Sunday afternoon and there place wasn't completely full but there were other parties seated. It was a good experience. I'm usually only in that area when I hit the outlets so maybe I'll try them again the next time I hit the outlets.

The last time I ordered "coconut water with pulp", they gave me a canned coconut water that was put into a cup and said I needed to say "whole coconut" when I order. Why are there two almost identical items on the menu?? That's confusing. Same thing happened when I ordered "basil tofu". They gave me fried rice with tofu in it? Apparently there's also basil fried rice with tofu in it. If there are similar items on the menu and the order is unclear, the restaurant should clarify when the order is placed over the phone. I will add that the restaurant remade my order (and made sure to be rude about it). Lastly, there was a hair in my most recent to-go order. WITH A FOLLICLE. I'm done here.

I came with my mom and her friend, who recommended the place. Service was fast and there was a steady stream of customers. We ordered the spring rolls, special beef pho, and a grilled pork banh mi to share. The spring rolls were fantastic, right off the bat. There was a good balance of veg and rice noodle, and the peanut sauce was perfectly balanced between savory and sweet. The pho was solid as well, with a TON of meat. The rice noodles were also cooked perfectly al dente. The sandwich had a good amount of filling and the bread itself was solid. Not the best banh mi that I had but given that I was starving, it really hit the spot. This meal had a cold dish, a soupy dish, and a bread dish, which are the three food groups to me. Tasty and reasonably priced, served with a side of nostalgia. I love it!

Would be more than happy to come back to any Lees location to try their banh mi including the BBQ Pork, Teriyaki Chicken, or Shredded Chicken. I noticed you could also do any Banh Mi as a bowl too! They also have brekky sandwiches served on a baguette or croissant, appetizers, soups, tea/smoothies/other drink options, and more. There is some seating, but seems mostly like a quick service/grab & go. Located in a shopping mall, there's plenty of free parking. Friendly staff, little to no wait time. Have you tried their signature coffee yet?

I haven't ordered a sandwich from here in a long time, so this review is just for the coffee LOL Banana Cream Coffee (small $7.50): I do not dare get a large no matter what kind of day I'm having, so I cannot speak to the price of a large size. I heard about Lee's coming out with Biscoff and Banana Cream flavors, so I was excited to try. Goodness me I was not expecting slices of banana and a Nilla wafer topping off my drink!! Ugh it was so darn good. If you like banana flavor, you'll like this. I will be back to try the Biscoff flavor (and maybe a sandwich, finally...)!

My friends and I stopped by Yummy Hainan Chicken for dinner on a Friday evening and the restaurant…read morewas completely empty at 5:00 p.m. Between the four of us, we ended up sharing a half Hainan chicken, half roasted duck and two bowls of their chicken rice. Overall, I really enjoyed the food here. The chicken rice was aromatic, flavorful and had a really nice texture to it. The chicken is tender and the thin outer skin has a gelatinous quality to it like a well-prepared Hainanese chicken. Honestly I had no notes on this dish. Hard to improve. I generally avoid roast duck at restaurants because of how fatty it is, but the one here was surprisingly good. While there were a few pieces with a thick section of fat between the skin and the meat, the majority of the pieces had a nice balance. There's a sweet tangy sauce that's included on the side with the duck that I really enjoyed as well. If you're looking for lean duck, you'll probably want to stick with the Chiu Chow marinated duck. Service is pretty minimal here, but our waitress stopped by our table once to refill our waters and to check on how we liked the food. Overall, 4.5 stars rounding up to a 5.

I placed the order over the phone and asked for it without the skin since I'm not a fan of slimy chicken skin unless it's crispy. A few minutes later they called back to ask if I wanted bone in or boneless. I told them bone in was fine, I just didn't want the skin. When I got home and ate it, the food was okay overall. The chicken was cold, not like it had been sitting out, but more like it had just come out of the refrigerator. The peanuts were actually a nice touch and added good flavor and texture. I also liked the ginger sauce they poured over the chicken, but there really wasn't enough of it. I wish they gave extra on the side in a separate container. The side veggies were okay too. It came with cucumbers, quail eggs, and fungus. I ate everything except the fungus. It had a very unique flavor that I just couldn't get into. Overall it wasn't bad, but I've definitely had better Hainan chicken elsewhere, so I'm not sure if I'd come back again.
