    Amazing and delicious food. Definitely one of the best Milanesa Torta I've had. Fresh bread and everything. Their poke bowls were divine as well - you grab a template with a whiteboard marker and customize your own poke bowls. Very easy to follow and the area felt very homey with family/love vibes. So many great options to choose from, so much food, great services and great people. Definitely a hidden gem to check out when you're in Manteca.

    Milanesa Torta from Royal T.

    There's something in the water in Manteca-all the independent coffee shops are providing really tasty fare. With breakfast, brunch and sandwiches, each one is delectably different. Royal T's is probably the smallest and is somewhat hard to find. It's in a tiny strip mall behind the 7/11 gas station off Main St and Northgate Dr. it's worth the find, their ingredients are crisp, clean and well assembled with each flavor coming across clearly in their Milanesa Torta and breakfast sandwich. Their staff allowed for plenty of time to peruse their offer boards and were helpful in recommending their popular dishes. The Mrs isn't a big eater in the AM, so this really fit the bill. Sabrosa!

    Poké bowl with three scoop of protein, two servings of salmon and one of tuna  I go there at least twice a week. Yummy

    These bowls are fire if you haven't tried it your missing out if you have doubts try it, they have many other options here for breakfast and lunch I'll be back many more times to try out they other items the space is small but cozy if you wish to dine in, if your in the area or in manteca this is a hidden gem.

    Recently moved from Sacramento to Turlock and was very sad to say I could not find a decent poke place in Modesto or nearby. Well this place is clean, fresh and savory definitely worth a try if you want sushi with out the expensive price.

    Riquisimo todo, para empezar la mañana ya encontramos un lugar favorito para el desayuno cuando pasemos por aqui literal alado del freeway. Los precio muy rasonables

They offer a large variety of proteins and toppings in their poke bowls as well as hot appetizers like gyoza, rangoons, egg rolls, and tempura. I typically order a Large Bowl with five toppings to split with my mom. We get the creamy shrimp, spicy scallops, octopus, and double salmon. The bowls are absolutely huge. I'd say the bowls are about three inches deep, and it's not just rice filling them! They are very generous with their toppings and don't shy away from loading them up with the seaweed salad and imitation crab too. They offer a bunch of sauces and mayo dressings that add a bunch of flavor. I also really enjoy their Kani Salad! It is a large portion that packs a lot of flavor. I always order ahead and the mean is finished before I arrive! I would say though that they are not the most consistent. Sometimes the octopus pieces are super hard and it grosses me out. One time they put ahi tuna in my bowl instead of the salmon. A few times they didn't include the sauce topping on my bowls. The interior of the restaurant is not the cleanest. There were some areas, especially around the drink fountain that look like the haven't been deep cleaned for a while. Regardless, none of these are major issues that would turn me away from eating there again.

Unfortunately on two different orders, I've found a piece of hair in my food. The last order has done it for me and this establishment. I understand that mistakes can happen, but this is a food safety concern that shouldn't be overlooked. Cleanliness and proper food handling are extremely important when serving customers. I hope management takes this seriously and reinforces hygiene standards with staff to prevent this from happening again.

If you're chasing ultra-authentic Hawaiian-style poke, you might find it a bit "mainland-style"--but still very good. You can walk in, customize exactly what you want, and be out the door with a fresh bowl in under 5-10 minutes in many cases. That's a big part of why people see it as a go-to spot for a quick lunch or casual dinner rather than a sit-down experience. I highly prefer the poke nachos! You'll really get the bang for your buck on that one!

The interior is small with a couple of tables available to sit from. The menu was pretty easy to read and they had a variety of items to choose from! Medium Poke Bowl(5/10): For my base I got half kelp noodles and cucumbers. For my protein I got salmon, marinated tuna, and volcano tuna--mixed with spicy mayo and spicy poke house sauce. For toppings I had spicy tuna, spicy crab mayo, corn, green onions, masago, mango, kimchi, black tobiko, and pickled radish. I thought the choices I made were lackluster. I felt like there was a lot of kelp noodles, and it didn't add flavor. I didn't like the marinated tuna cause I felt like it was more on the sweeter side. The volcano tuna was super spicy, but the flavor profile was there. I think if I were to choose my protein again, it wouldn't be those options. Service(10/10): The worker was super nice and friendly. They were pretty fast and it looked like it was just one person working at the store. No complaints here. Overall, I don't think I'll be coming here again, but it was still worth a try!

The ONLY drawback that held me from giving Banh Mi Express a 5 star was the portion to price ratio. As stated earlier, I ordered a large, in which was a typical "meal prep" container. If that was the large, it made me think how small the regular size was. And to think it was basically $20 for a bowl -- thankfully it was delicious! I will definitely be coming back -- and I MUST try their sandwiches. I'm usually a sucker for Banh mi's.

Starting off, my best friend and I were in Modesto for Barnes and Noble to get some books for my son. This location being right next to the bookstore was convenient so we went inside. The young girl who served us looked disgusted the moment my best friend said she'd never eaten there and wasn't sure how to order. She looked at her like she was stupid and just said what do you want and was not helpful whatsoever. She got the small poke bowl and I got a small donburi bowl. After what took over 5 minutes for her getting our two bowls from us, she walked away after I paid and I had to ask another worker for a lid to my bowl. Whatever, service sucked, maybe she was having a bad day? We sat down to eat (still hadn't gotten the chicken tempura and gyoza I had ordered for my son). Before my son's food even was ready I had bitten into a very bad piece of shrimp tempura that tasted as if the inside of the batter was covered in mold. I immediately spit it back out into a napkin and just sat there about to throw up. I sat there thinking this is probably just a mistake and maybe I imagined it. Then my son showed me his chicken that he said he didn't want to eat. It was old, rubbery, did not resemble chicken at all, and had black stuff around the chicken under the batter. I went to the worker who was at the counter and told her what we had received. She didn't seem surprised at all, but more surprised I wanted a refund for the two items that were spoiled. No manager onsite, apparently they usually aren't there. She called the manager who did not answer the phone but proceeded to text the worker. Asking exactly what happened several times and then proceeded to say the black on the chicken is seasoning before it's fried, which is not true because the come pre battered and it was just old. I had accepted no refund on the chicken for the ridiculous excuse, but I wanted a refund on the donburi bowl at the very least. The manager asked her to open my napkin and send a pic of the shrimp!!!! THAT IS SO NASTY! That young girl does not get paid enough to be doing all of that. That is revolting! I ended up opening it for her so she didn't have to so she could and a pic. Then the manager stopped responding to her by text. That's fine, Manager, that's fine. You should've just given me a refund for your nasty ass food that was not edible. Now you'll be receiving a visit from the county health department as they were called the moment I left your restaurant because of the food being kept at room temperature, your dirty facility, and the spoiled food you're serving to paying customer. This idiot sent me into my Karen era and I do not even care. Don't mess with people's food. Good luck.
