Quality/Quantity -
Soup - Complimentary - If you are following, you know I am not a soup person, but this was good. I especially liked the plump generous size mushrooms.
Chef's Special, Cumin Lamb - Wow, this was so good and with just the correct amount of spice. Good enough heat that does NOT hurt, but enough that keeps you coming back for more, lol. Generous portions, took half of it home. Both my guest and I could not stop eating this.
Pickled Vegetable & Pork Noodle Soup - You get a choice of rice or flour noodles. My guest chose flour, which just happens to be my preference also. The waitress suggested we get mild, good suggestion. Just the correct amount of spice for this dish as well. The dish was interesting and good, but not as good as my above choice. Lots of different flavors and textures from the fresh crispy veggies to the peanuts, etc. We each got a small bowl. Take a look at our leftovers, it looked like we did not even eat a bite. The cumin lamb was just so good!
Complimentary hot tea - Good.
Atmosphere - Small local business, actually Chino's second one; congrats.
Plenty of street metered parking, but we just walked.
Open 6 days a week from 11am to 9:30pm; closed Wednesdays.
Service - 5 stars. From greeting to checking up on use.
They made sure restaurant was not too cold for my guest, closed the front door for her.
They also gave good food suggestions.
Even packaged my guest's leftovers for her.
Then the bill came, and there was a discrepancy; the check did not match the menu price...
Why is this happening SO often? She sincerely apologized for the owner, and corrected it immediately. In my opinion, this is exactly how employees should be trained. See my 3 star Linda Patria, Vallejo, CA Yelp review and let me know if you feel they handled it correctly?!?! And if my rating was accurate?
Price - $41 + tip. 5% cash discount.
Owner Comment - I appreciate it when 5 star businesses live up to their ratings. Even when "things" happen, like pricing discrepancies. It is not what happens to us, it is how we handle it and what we do about it.
Congrats on your success at this location since October of 2024 and your Kung Food location since 2015. We will be regular customers.
