    Chowmein? Not sure but it's slimy and does not taste good.

    Chowmein was slimy! The food tasted old and dry. Owner was rude. I asked for some lemon and she just said no lemon! Asked for chili paste or hot sauce. No hot sauce! I was like damn! I was just waiting for her to say And theeeeen I do not recommend this place

    The food was cold and the chicken tasted like it was from yesterday. But it is a nice looking restaurant.

    As having been to China, it is rare to actually have truly authentic Chinese cuisine in the USA. In addition, the service is top notch.

    They mixed up our food and it took awhile to get it out. Then my food was cold. But still good. They need a little work but we will be back.

    Good Grief !! Where do I start?! At the beginning, Jim…read more.. OK, so I'm in Hanford, California doing a favor for a friend after a long day working in Los Angeles then driving 3 hours! My options??? Grabbing some snacks at the hotel or taking the spectacular advice of April and Naesha at the front desk of the Fairfield Marriott, my hotel for the night. They also said that the Steak Bites were fantastic. After a quick shower, I took the 5 minute ride to the restaurant. Independent building, fairly nondescript but classy enough. Easy access with plenty of parking. You enter in to a dark, classy Italian restaurant. A large , open dining room straight ahead, and a small (but really cute) bar to the left. I chose eating at the bar, and I'm happy I did. Raquel, the Bartender took care of me with humor, seriousness, smiles, and incredible recommendations. Ordered a nice Zin and started perusing the menu. The nightly "specials" menu looked great, but the regular menu nailed me. Before I could even begin to make decisions, their bread arrived at the table with a small bowl of marinara sauce. Maybe the best I've had... EVER! Raquel was literally describing the recipe after I raved. Should have asked for a copy! Guess I knew then that I was about to be thrilled! I ordered some of the steak bites for the ladies at the hotel, then proceeded, knowing I was about to overeat AND take a feast back with me. Always a Caesar Salad as a starter, asking for it not to be overly saturated and they nailed it. Just a personal preference and this is massively nit picky, but just a hint more anchovy paste. Raquel then steered me to Shrimp Avocado Crostini as an appetizer. It truly left me speechless, and that's virtually impossible (just ask my kids). The perfectly toasted Crostini's, thinly sliced, a smear of the avocado, then a spoonful of heaven! I mean the warm shrimp goulash, salsa, soup... heck, whatever it was, was pure perfection. Limited myself to 3 pieces, about 9 bites, and only consumed about 1/3. For my main course I opted for a chicken dish as I often do. I chose the Spicy Chicken Chipotle with Penne Pasta, Blackened Chicken, bell peppers,edamame, mango... Now as I'm already achieving some pressure on my belt, all just have a couple bites. OOPS!!! Yup, it was THAT good! And it came out hot, as it should, a thing many restaurants miss on. I was confused after my first bite because it was unnaturally sublime! I devoured it!!! Just left enough to add it to the bounty traveling back to the hotel. Truly some of the very best pasta I've had anywhere. So now I'm stuffed and she comes over and says a naughty word, DESSERT! Crème Brûlée Cheesecake sound ok? Sure, I reply. Light, fluffy, not overly sweet, luscious caramel sauce... two perfect bites and into a to go package. The food, 10/10 The Service, 10/10 (Thanks Raquel!) The Atmosphere 9/10 Don't know if I will ever get the opportunity to return, but if I do it would be my honor to have a chance at trying more of the beautiful menu. Bon A-petite' Cheers

    Let's start with the bad ... the food was a bit on the cool side…read more Now the great! Right from the start the host with the pants made us feel welcomed. She sat us without a reservation within 30 mins. There was a table By the door but I get cold. So we opted to wait. The vibe was valentines and I loved it. Photo opps and more. We ordered a moscato. The crust and dip We're delicious. Almost asked for seconds! The dip is different than before. I got salmon and he got steak. We enjoyed it. My salmon was warm and the sauce was so delicious. Rice was on the cold side and was supposed to be cauliflower but still very good. It was a tasty steak but it was cool. Very flavorful! We loved the strawberry's. We plan to make this an annual event.

I was craving pork and decided to build my own quesadilla so I ordered the chili verde with pork. My cheese of choice was their white mix, which included Jack, mozzarella and provolone. My filling choice for my made quesadilla was their fajita veggies and pico de Gallo. My two homemade salsa of choice was their Roasted Red Salsa and Spicy Salsa Verde. Brought it home and my mouth was watering!!! The aroma smell great but after one bite, I was sold!!! I'm definitely hooked on their brand of quesadillas!!! Will definitely swing by again in the near future to order something else from their menus.

    We stopped by on a St. Patrick's Day to celebrate our cousin's birthday. The restaurant was cleaner…read morethan expected, which was a pleasant surprise. The food, however, remained subpar to par at best--nothing to rave about, but it filled the void. I ordered an Oriental Chicken Salad, which looked good on the plate but tasted pretty standard. The fried chicken pieces were crispy, and the dressing added some needed flavor, but nothing about it really stood out. The highlight of my night? My Passionfruit Mai Tai--which, of course, I enjoyed in my own Teko Teko tiki mug. This place doesn't serve drinks in tiki mugs, so I came prepared to elevate my cocktail experience. It was well-made, sweet but balanced, and complemented the night perfectly. Our server, Courtney, was friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. Service-wise, everything went smoothly. Would I come back? Probably, but not for the food--more for the convenience and a simi reliable drink.

I saw that Applebee's had all you can eat shrimp, riblets, and chicken wings so I got that and the Sam Adam's beer. This location sucks when I walked in. I was seated almost immediately. The waitress and server were really nice and got me a drink fast. What disappointed me was the portions I was getting on the all you can eat shrimp riblets, and chicken wings. Proportions don't fall on the waitress or the server. It falls on the kitchen. These people suck at doing their job. Plate of shrimp only had 5 to 6 shrimp on a refill next time I will be going to red lobster Chili's or Texas roadhouse in Visalia and save myself some time and heartache. I ate a total of 27 shrimp that is sad if you can count how many shrimp you actually ate and two riblets with two portions of french fries and I'm a big guy. I'm 6 foot six 255 pounds. I left because of all the disappointment and I was about to flip my lid so I got in my car and I drove home. Not worth going to jail over kitchen staff that is probably on narcotics of some kind hates Life or just wants to get home to get high.

    There's an unspoken law about Asian restaurants: the closer the dining room gets to majority Asian,…read morethe more you can trust the food is authentic. Well, for a Chinese restaurant tucked deep in a white neighborhood, Dynasty Chinese Cuisine breaks this law. Food: 5/5 From our first bite, we could tell everything was made in-house. The crispy potsticker wrapper did not taste like it came frozen from a Bibigo bag, and the egg roll filling tasted fresh. The Black Pepper Beef Skillet came out still sizzling and smoking, and the meat was tender and moist. We also ordered the BBQ Pork Chow Fun, and the noodles had a balanced smoky flavor. The meat was also tender. From our photos, you could see a hefty portion of meat in each dish. This is one of the best Chinese food I've ever had, and for the price point, this place deserves the elusive 5 out of 5. Service: 4.5/5 There appears to be one server manning the floor the majority of the time, but the owner came out to check in on patrons. Both were super friendly and attentive, chatting with us about recommendations and welcoming us to the area. The service was fast. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 This restaurant is a proper casual Chinese restaurant, and the atmosphere reflects that. We did not expect it to be as lively as it was when we came in for lunch at 1:30pm on a weekday. The noise levels and music were not offensive. And the place is incredible clean! The dining floor and bathroom looked well-maintained and clear of any debris. I would recommend this restaurant for a dinner date for one, a family meal, or takeout. Final rating: 4.5/5 (rounding up to 5 on Yelp)
