Chow mien could've used some TLC but Small tray runs around $50-$60 and their service was pretty fast for walk in orders. Just waited 10 min for 2 heaping portions of small trays. Also tried their potstickers and love how they're handmade with dough. They were a nice snack as we waited for the rest of the order. Free parking and takeout only!

It's your little hole in the wall joint that has good size servings when you want quick cheap Chinese. I want to try the walnut shrimp next time. I had my husband and baby waiting for me in the car so I only got what they had available. Definitely would try it again if I'm back in the area.

Yo! is a slight step up from Grocery store sushi. They put enough sugar sauce on the rolls so you can get your fix. But, boyyyyyy how the mighty have fallen! They can't even wrap the rolls anymore. Everything is mushed together. The oil from the fryer is mature and holds years of flavors. They went from a solid 3 star to a low 2 star but are keeping $$$ prices. Fingers crossed I don't get sick!

*** Vegetarian Review ***…read more Wasn't actually in the mood for ramen, but I was with some people that definitely were. I got out voted and thank goodness for majority rule because I stumbled upon a great dish if ramen isn't your thing. Btw - their vegetarian ramen is hella good. Big portions and a top notch broth! Agedashi Tofu, no bonito flakes. Comes with 8 tofu slices. And be warned, it's super hot so be careful. Don't burn your mouth. Comes with a dipping sauce, but ask for a teriyaki sauce. Order a bowl of rice and a side vegetable like cabbage and you've got a delicious, balanced meal. And say hello to Lee while you're there. Super friendly guy.

The dining room is modern, clean, and inviting, with high ceilings and plenty of seating. While I was initially surprised by the wait since I was the only customer, the restaurant quickly filled with diners and takeout orders, making it obvious this place has built a loyal following. I ordered the new Wonton Ramen Soup, spicy and an order of lumpia. As a ramen fan, I can honestly say the broth was outstanding, rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The generous portion was loaded with fresh bok choy, perfectly cooked egg, green onions, and large wontons, creating a delicious fusion of classic wonton soup and ramen with a Tonkotsu broth. I also appreciated the oversized ladle-style soup spoon, which made it easy to enjoy every sip of that incredible broth and every bite of the fresh ingredients. The lumpia was crispy and good, but fairly standard. My only disappointment was the packaged sweet and sour sauce. A house-made dipping sauce would have paired much better with the quality of the food. The restaurant itself was very clean, but I'd recommend moving the bussing cart with used bowls, plates, and trash to the back of the kitchen. It's a small detail, but keeping it out of guests' view would make the dining room feel even more polished and inviting. Overall, Ramon 101 was good. Great broth, fresh ingredients, generous portions, make this a place I'll definitely return to. It's easy to see why the locals keep coming back.

Hardly any meat and almost zero flavor. The general tsos chicken was hard and dry, no flavor. Broccoli beef was all broccoli and maybe 4 thin strips of beef, the shrimp fried rice had literally 4 tiny shrimp in the entire meal, beef chow fun had maybe 3 pieces of beef and no flavor. The chicken with vegetables was also bland and hardly any pieces of chicken. If you did find a piece of meat it was the size of a penny. Only positives were food came out quick and everything was hot.

On our drive up to Sacramento, we didn't miss an opportunity to eat at Pho Vallejo!…read more When we arrived the place was packed, but we were able to snag a table right away. There's one thing that I come for (because I can't find it anywhere else) and it's their fried shrimp cake. If there's one thing I recommend ordering when you come here it's that! For my main I got the vermicelli bowl with bbq beef and egg roll. My girlfriend got their pho. Both were really good and the portion sizes and value is totally there. They don't skimp on the meats and don't trip if you ask for extra fish sauce. I think I learned that I don't like vermicelli bowls as much as I do rice plates and pho. While it's done well, I'd opt for the rice plates or pho instead. The service here is still top notch. The food comes out ridiculously quick and is what I would call a true hidden gem in Vallejo. If i'm ever driving through the area, best believe I'm making a stop here!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience here was unacceptable…read more While dining with our 9-month-old baby, a man who appeared to be a friend of the owner became irritated by normal baby noises, turned around, and told my infant to "shut the f*** up." As a parent, I was shocked and upset. I immediately brought the situation to the owner's attention, expecting him to address the behavior or at least show some concern. Instead, he laughed and sarcastically asked if he should call the police. There was no apology, no attempt to handle the situation professionally, and no concern for the fact that a customer had just verbally attacked a baby. What made the situation even more disturbing was that another couple nearby overheard everything and complained to the server, questioning why that man was still being allowed to remain and receive service after speaking to a child that way. Even other customers recognized how inappropriate the behavior was. I understand that not everyone enjoys being around children, but no parent should be treated this way, and no business owner should laugh off behavior like this. A restaurant's response to unacceptable conduct says a lot about its values, and this experience made it clear that customer respect is not a priority here. Because of how this situation was handled, I will never return and cannot recommend supporting this business

I was meeting a friend for lunch in Benicia, a couple of hours' drive from my house. Neither of us…read moreknew much about restaurants in the area, but we "Yelped" a bit, and Pearl Thai caught our eye. Very glad it did! We were greeted by a gentleman with a fun sense of humor - can't really explain it, but he made us smile. The place is small, but very welcoming. We were shown to a window booth, where we chatted a bit before we looked at the menu. The server came to take our order and we had barely even looked. She told us to take all the time we needed. Eventually, we made our decisions. My friend got one of the lunch combos - a chicken curry (she chose red curry, you can also choose green or yellow), and I don't remember what the other combo item was. But everything looked delightful on her plate! On our way into the restaurant, I spotted a sign with a lunch special on it - crispy chicken kao soi, a noodle dish, and it looked good, so that's what I requested. It was quite yummy! The best part was the deeply flavored sauce that the noodles were nestled into - I could put it in a cup and drink it, it was soooo good, lots of savory fish sauce and just enough spice to keep it interesting. Besides the noodles actually in the sauce, there were crispy fried noodles on top as well, adding a nice texture variety. The picture doesn't really do it justice. I was hungry and dove in before I remembered to take the photo, oops. The chicken was breaded and laid on top of the noodles in thin slices, very nice and crunchy. We had Thai hot tea with our lunch - not the sweet kind, but the nice clean-flavored hot tea. It went perfectly with our dishes. I don't know exactly when either of us will get back to Benicia again, but if and when we do, I hope we can stop by Pearl Thai again!

*** Vegetarian Review ***…read more None of their dishes have fish sauce so you don't get knocked over the head with the smell when you walk in. They remind me every time I order, but as a vegetarian, we've all had that fish smell delivered to us at a Thai restaurant at least once (probably twice, more likely three times) in our eating lifetimes. It is such a relief to not have to worry about that here. Would I Come Back? Yes, when I'm in town, I make it a point to come here. Did I mention they don't use fish sauce!? Parking is is incredibly easy so that's never an issue. It's a shared parking lot with many stores and other restaurants. I typically go on a Sunday for lunch, and even with a party of 5, I haven't had to wait for a table. Seating capacity is probably 45-50 guests so if you're planning a large party, definitely best to call ahead and make a reservation. The Food: Roti & Yellow Curry ($14, Grade A+): Fried roti with a yellow curry dipping sauce. It's a super savory dish, and honestly, I should have had you at "fried." If you're wondering what roti is, think of it as a buttery, flaky, pan-fried flatbread. It's large enough appetizer to share with 3 people, but you're pushing your luck with 4. Pad Thai with Fried Tofu ($16, Grade A): I've had this dish 5 times now. To be completely transparent, it's the exact reason why I can't give Pearl Thai a full 5-star rating, purely because of consistency. The first time I got it, it was perfect. The second and third times, it had no sauce and was dry. The fourth time, I asked them to make it saucy, and they obliged to an almost soupy level. For this fifth time, I just ordered it straight up and zipped my lip on any alterations. As they say, the fifth time was a charm! When it's made with the perfect amount of sauce, this dish is excellent. The noodles have that exact texture you look for in a pad thai, and the egg gets that great scorch from the wok for an added layer of flavor. Also, the tofu has been incredibly fresh every single time. It never tastes slightly spoiled, which happens a lot in smaller towns that don't heavily support plant-based diets where tofu just sits in a fridge eagerly awaiting someone to order it. Mixed Vegetables ($14, Grade A): Sautéed wood ear mushrooms and mixed vegetables in a garlic soy sauce. If you've ever had Pad Pak, you already know this flavor profile. I really enjoyed it, but next time I'll ask for no carrots and maybe half the garlic. Overall, it's a perfect dish that absolutely requires steamed rice to soak up all that great flavor. Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango ($8, Grade A): The classic dessert we see at all Thai restaurants, but they serve it with purple sticky rice, making it a visually yummy dish. It's plenty of food to share between two people. Bottom Line: The service here is great and very friendly. It's a small, local shop with "Best in Town" awards highlighted on the walls. The environment is clean, and the food is served hot and arrives at the table quick. One Last Word: Don't leave here without ordering the roti with yellow curry for an appetizer. Pure savory goodness!
