The jjajangmyun was ok, not spectacular. The sweet and sour pork was very good - perfectly light and crunchy, and the dipping sauce was spot on. The kimbop tasted good but was giant. Never had such wide kimbop, so much so that the larger end pieces were almost impossible to eat in one bite. I didn't it, but it wasn't pretty. I would rather have regular sized kimbop but more pieces (same resulting amount of food). Service was good and fast. They have a variety of soju - we had the apple flavored. If you are craving the food in k-dramas, this is the place.

Don't Sleep on Burmese food!…read more It's like eating Chinese, Thai, and Indian food but all at once. So much flavors in all the dishes. From sweet and tangy to spicy and garlicky. Food here definitely hits the spot. You could even go here and just be satisfied with all the appetizers! The Dubai chocolate roti is also an s tier dessert in my opinion.

The sauce was awful that came with them- it didn't pair well at all. We said we prefer the Costco or trader joe ones We love the green beans with large prawns We took most of our meals home- mine was better later, after the garlic noodles had time for the flavors to marinate Hubby had beef noodles We felt very rushed- the apps had just been delivered, and our food came right after. I had also ordered the crab garlic noodles, but the server came back and said they were out. Had I known this I would have ordered differently. There was a pumpkin dish I was also looking at Restrooms and restaurant were clean Plenty of parking in the parking structure

Sauce was a tad oily but so so flavorful. Would definitely get it again! Pork steamed buns: 8/10, not what I expected, i thought it'd be a red marinated pork but it was more of a seasoned meat ball in a bun. I didn't hate it and it paired well with the sauce of the braised beef :) Signature spicy wonton: 9/10, different for sure. I was expected more chili chucks but the oil itself was different from what I've had before. Love that they packed the wontons and oil separate for me to pair at home. Honestly, I'd come back and dine in. I saw things on Yelp that weren't options on Door Dash. All my dishes felt different from other places I've been with similar menu items. Would love to come here again, service was quick and interior was pleasant ^_^

For dine in, we ordered 2 Lan Zhou beef noodle soups with small flat noodles, chili oil wonton, and…read moresoup dumplings. To go, we ordered 2 braised pork pita burgers and 1 chili oil noodles. The small flat noodles were a bit thicker than I would have liked and the soup needed a little more flavor. The chili oil wonton were saltier than I would've liked but the dough had a good consistency. The soup dumplings were ok. 1 braised pork dumpling had a much stronger star anise flavor which was overbearing while the other was perfect. I was actually hoping for the pita part to be more like the style that has crispy layers but it was filling. The chili oil flat noodles were OK. Overall, I've had better hand pulled noodles and I prefer beef broth soup that has a more richer flavor.

They had a happy hour menu with lots of options but you could also order from the regular menu. We got 3 miso soups and waters before we ordered which was great!!

This was my second visit to Stix Eatery and it definitely won't be my last. My friend and I…read moreordered the papaya salad, combo chicken and beef barbecue, and we were both very impressed. The meat was tender, juicy and perfectly cooked, with great flavor in every bite. The papaya salad was nice, fresh and dressed nicely with their vinaigrette dressing. We forgot to take photos of our food. We were too excited to get started eating. What really stood out was the value for money. The portions were generous and more than satisfying, especially considering the affordable prices. It's one of those hole-in- the-wall gems that delivers delicious food without breaking the bank. The service was nice and friendly. Ko was attentive to our needs. If you are looking for flavorful Thai food, barbecue, friendly atmosphere, very affordable prices and hearty portions, Stix Eatery is well worth a visit. I look forward to my next visit :)

We've tried many Thai restaurants locally, and this one truly stands out. The portions are generous, which is rare since many Thai restaurants tend to serve smaller portions. I ordered Prawn Sarong (shrimp w/ bacon) and Pad Woosen (glass noodles w/ chicken, mushroom++). There's also a great variety of dishes on the menu, so there's something for everyone. The restaurant itself is very clean, and the customer service is fantastic. Ko, the owner, was especially kind and a pleasure to talk with, which made the experience even better. Please support this wonderful local business. It's rare these days to find a restaurant that delivers both excellent food and great value, and this place absolutely does. For Filipinos out there, they serve Crispy Pata for $18. Give it a try!

So yesterday my brother and I finally tried the dinner menu at Fuji Sushi Buffet for the very first…read moretime. We'd always only gone for their lunch menu before, but we were really craving sushi and sashimi last night, so we thought Fuji would be the best place to go since we were starving!! We noticed that the dinner menu wasn't that much different from the lunch. Seems like only a handful of items are added, so we still made sure to try some of those dinner-only items. One was the Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab, and it was absolutely delicious! The whole thing was edible, so there was no need to de-shell the crab, and the tempura batter was nice and crispy. The crab also didn't taste fishy at all. I also liked that they served it with a tempura dipping sauce on the side because it helped refresh the dish and cut back on the greasiness a little bit. Another thing I was really super curious to try was the Smoked Salmon. I did order it, but I think the guy working at the sashimi section misheard me and ended up giving me regular salmon instead - boo! I wanted to go back and order more later, but by that point I was already really full, so I decided not to be greedy. Other than that, everything else was pretty much the same as the lunch offerings. In general, my brother and I really like this place. It's definitely our go-to spot when it comes to all you can eat sushi and sashimi. My brother and I love getting a huge plate of sashimi with a variety of fish like Salmon, Yellowtail, Mackerel, and even Unagi too. I also love how quick the service was, and they impose no limitation on how many times we can order or how many items we can get each round. We just feel really comfortable eating here. We'll definitely come back again in the near future!

I came across another Yelper's review and decided to try out Okini Sushi, in Pleasant Hill. It's a few miles off the 680 freeway, located in a scenic neighborhood. I ordered a delicious crab meat salad topped with avocados and I ordered off of the Happy Hour menu, with an aloha roll, it is a crabmeat, cucumber roll salmon on top with seaweed salad decorating the top of the roll. I ordered the mini chirashi don, which was a perfect main dish with five large slices of sashimi over rice, seaweed salad and a couple of nice spices of tamagoyaki (rolled egg), plus miso soup and a side salad. Easy listening music plays in the background, the wait staff are very nice and polite. The family at the next table with two little kids were given cute children's sectioned plates with kids' chopsticks, which was very convenient for the four year old to use, however, the two year old wasn't big enough to use chopsticks. This was a perfectly delicious lunch, with enough leftovers for a later dinner meal. Do try out this restaurant if you're driving along in the East Bay on the very long 680 freeway, it's a detour of five miles in land. There is plenty of parking here, it's located next to a barbecue shop with sauces, which I'll need to check out afterwards.

The tables are not that close so you can have a private conversation. Our server was spot on, came back numerous times just to check on us. As for the food, we had the Titanic Roll. It was large and flavorful. It just had a little too much cucumber for me. 4/5. The Sushi lunch was reasonably priced, super fresh fish with decent sized slices. I truly loved the CA roll that came along with the Nigiri. One of the best CA rolls I've had in a long time. 5/5 It's a distance from our home but I know when we are on that side of the hill running errands on a Saturday, we will be coming back. 100% Recommended
