    Front of restaurant
    Spencer L.

    This is great place to enjoy a very good lunch special. I have only been here for lunch, so this review is based on my experiences during lunch time. Food: 5/5 Every time I have been here the food has been excellent. The portions are huge, everything is hot and fresh tasting, the sauces are great and I love the flavor and spice of the hot and sour soup. During the lunch special, it includes a good amount of food for a very reasonable price. I usually get the Kung Pao Chicken. It includes one entreé, rice (white or fried is included, or brown for $2 extra) 2 wonton chip, as well as hot and sour soup or wonton soup. The chicken is always very good and the veggies are always perfectly cooked. All that food for only 12 dollars! Service: 5/5 Every time we have been here we are seated quickly. In fact everything is very fast. Our food came out about 5 minutes after ordering and our server was ready to take our order within 2-5 minutes of sitting down. (But, they don't rush you. You have as much time as you need to look at the menu.) Ambiance/Space: 4/5 The ambiance is good, it's not anything extremely special, but it's comfortable. The restaurant is actually a pretty good size as well. They have 2 dining room areas, one of which has a bar (The room with the bar is usually closed during lunch). They also have a couple small tables on a small patio outside for nice days. Parking: 4/5 There is ample parking right in front of the restaurant. The only reason it is 4/5 is because this is a city parking lot and you have to pay to get a parking permit. Although it is very cheap. We paid like $1.50 for almost 2.5 hours! I'm sure it's very good for dinner as well. This is definitely a great little gem if you're wanting to explore the antique shops and the surrounding area in the nice little downtown of Martinez. After we eat here we usually like to check out the antique shop called Antique Corner right across the street. I will posting a review about them as well.

    House chow mein
    Shelli H.

    Solid Chinese food. A little pricey. I haven't eaten inside in years, but I do pick up lunch often nowadays for lunch in the park with mom. ASK for silverware!! Because of its location it gets our business, as I can leave mom and dog in car, run in grab the food and hit the park. Service is not super friendly but not rude either. So more like 3.5 stars but we will round up!

    I didn't eat their Chinese but when I saw that they have added a sushi bar, I jumped on it and was pleasantly surprised!! Apparently the owner also owns a Japanese restaurant and the chef was from that restaurant. Their sashimi's fresh!! Highly recommend. Ambiance - this place needs a make over for sure.

    Mushroom chicken
    Jorge G.

    Working in Martinez was craving some Chinese food and I had driven by this little gem a few times so I decided to try it out. My coworker and myself went for lunch. Their lunch special comes with soup either wonton or egg drop soup. Both are delicious. I got the sweet and sour chicken that comes with choice of white rice or fried rice. I got the fried rice. My coworker got the mushroom chicken with fried rice. It was a lot of food very tasty. The server was great, he was friendly and very attentive to us. The place is really nice and quiet. Would recommend it and I will definitely be back.

    Broccoli Chicken
    Steve L.

    Awesome location in down town Martinez right on the corner of Escobar near plenty of parking. The staff is very courteous, friendly and attentive. The interior of the restaurant is very traditional for a Chinese restaurant with a touch of modern. The food is gourmet with a fair price. The broccoli chicken was delicious as was the chicken chow mein and egg flower soup. The spring rolls were exactly what we needed. The only thing I wouldn't get again was the salt and pepper shrimp, they had a little too much breading for my taste. Overall a very good experience and I'll be back!

    Gluten free honey walnut shrimp with gluten free fried rice
    hannah e.

    Gluten free chinese food! I haven't had chinese food since getting diagnosed with celiac. I am so happy I found this spot. The honey walnut shrimp is a must try! There's a man who always helps me and he is very nice! He is very patient if I have any questions. I brought my partner here on a date and he loved it! The whole restaurant is clean. Very well kept! If you are in the martinez area , please visit this restaurant. You won't regret it!

    Sweet & Pungent Shrimp
    Dexter D.

    Fast, friendly service. Decent lunch options. We especially liked that even though we ordered lunch specials, the food came out as if it had been ordered ala carte, making the dishes easier to share. Besides the entree, which determined the cost of your lunch, you chose between Hot & Sour Soup or Won Ton Soup. You also had a choice of Steamed Rice or Fried Rice. Brown Rice was an option for an extra $2. We, of course, got one of each so we could try both. Sweet and Pungent Shrimp sounded intriguing so I got it. It was described as being a blend of sweet and sour mixed with the heat of General Tso. She opted for the Kung Pao 3 Gem which was perfect for me because my dish didn't have any veg in it. We'd return if in the area.

    was in Martinez late in March when a Chinese food craving hit me hard. If you live in Martinez or belong to any of the Martinez Facebook groups, you know many locals love Sunflower Garden in Downtown Martinez. I wanted prawns, so I ordered sweet and pungent prawns. The prawns were plump and very tasty, with a sweet and spicy sauce. I'll definitely order these again! The lunch specials include a tasty hot and sour soup and an egg roll. I also ordered pot stickers since everyone raves about them, which were good. The service was great. I got there about 30 minutes before lunch service ended, and they were friendly and didn't rush me out. Sunflower Garden is open Monday-Saturday for lunch and dinner. They're one of the few Chinese restaurants with a full bar; from what I've heard, they make good drinks. I've included photos of the food, the interior, and the menu.

    Two words.... Perfectly Imperfect!!!…read more Every time that I go to this establishment I am taken back by the old school Cheers vibe! To be honest, I have only been there a handful of times, but when you know, you know! Unfortunately, I missed the owner, Kathy, tonight, but every time I see her there she greets me with kind words and a hug. It makes me feel like a regular or even a long lost best friend! I probably visit this business about 3 times a year. Yet, every time I do I ask myself why don't I go here more often! On this visit, I was lucky enough to see one of the old bouncers, Daniel and met the new bouncer, Bobby. They were both very cordial and welcoming, while their wandering eyes and presence seemed to remind us patron's that our conduct was being monitored. Tonight, Danielle was behind the bar. She slayed it!!! It seemed like there was not an empty cup in the house (unless by choice). She was very attentive and efficient. It was as though each and every person in the bar was her most important customer! It was refreshing (much like the tasty drinks that she poured). This is not the first time I left Nu-Rays feeling this way, as Rose may be one of the best bartenders I have come across... always quick to welcome new arrivals with a friendly smile when the time allows, but when the sh*t hits the fan and the clients are circling the bar ready to pounce on a drink like a cheetah on an antelope.... Rose is all business passing out drinks like Rich Gannon to Tim Brown. Lara is another bartender that come to mind. I was very impressed with Lara. She was quick to answer questions with a recommendation for a drink that may change your life.... Or at least your mood for the night. In fact, I have been impressed with all of the bartenders that I have met there. I own a business in Martinez and have found myself at a couple of the drinking establishments in the area and none of them... and I mean none of them... can hold a candle to Nu-Rays! I've tried them all at one time or another and I must say Nu-Rays is top notch! I Love the old school down to earth feel... and you know what... after thinking about the cheers vibe.... I'm going to try and make them yell "COREY!!!" when I come in the bar. That my friend is what they call icing on the cake!

The husband and I were hungry on Wednesday evening, so we decided to stop by Baxter's while heading to our destination. Upon arrival, the location was nice, quiet, clean, and had plenty of street parking. We were able to park directly in front, so we figured the visit was meant to be. As we entered, we were immediately greeted by a very pleasant staff member. He was gracious, friendly, warm, and loads of fun. After seating us, he displayed great knowledge of the menu and available specials. After selecting our bottle of wine and appetizers, we were acknowledged by the owner, Ken, who was friendly and hospitable. He offered information about the restaurant and ensured that we had everything we needed. We inquired about their group events and offerings, and he had plenty to share. Baxter's is a great place for quaint events--they are very creative and have a lot to offer. The food was great, my steak was cooked to perfection, and the mood was just right. The hubs and I were definitely pleased and truly enjoyed our time at Baxter's. We will certainly be back. If you're looking for a nice night out, this is a great choice.
