This restaurant was incredible! The food tastes so fresh and the service is outstanding (I felt like I was at a fancy, multi-course meal). Truly the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!

Wonderful and elegantly presented Chinese food in a calm and beautiful atmosphere.My picture doesnt do it justice but their walnut prawns are airy and crisp, the crispy duck is well seasoned and tasty, the garlic kale is bright green and tender, and the brown rice is blended with wild rice and is beautiful with a great texture.There are very few restaurants on Solano that are conducive to a quiet conversation. This is one of them. (The others seem designed to amplify noise -- maybe Im just just losing my hearing!?)The owner is very friendly and remembers us every time. Have been coming here for perhaps 20 years!

I went here last night with my partner and my daughter and I’m so glad we did because it was awesome! Honestly the best Chinese food we’ve have since moving to the area 3 years ago. Everything is super fresh. My daughter ordered vegetable fried rice and there were actually hearty and fresh veggies in it! Im a vegetarian and ordered the “imitation” sweet and sour chicken. Normally im not big on fake meats but I’m so glad I got this because it was absolutely delicious. My very meat loving partner even liked it. The staff is extremely welcoming and very efficient. We will absolutely be back here and highly Recommend you try it!

The quality of food has gone down a lot, we used to like this place. It was empty on a Sunday, and it seems they dont have much business anymore.We ordered two types of fish and they were not fresh, have to send them back. Not coming back.At least the eggplant with garlic sauce was still good.

Tasty Chinese home cooking. Really, home - family cooks and grandma and grandpa sit at tables nearby.I think their beer is a loss leader - cheap tasty German imports for $4.50

Elegant decor, clean, beautiful place to dine! A great and intimate place to celebrate birthdays. Greatly appreciate the offering of Lundberg rice- which I have found nowhere else. Loved the wild rice! There are many and varied options to choose from on the menu and we will be back to try more!

Best green onion pancake Ive ever tasted! Friendliest service Ive ever received at a Chinese restaurant! Pricey like other restaurant in vicinity but I like everything here much, much more (sustainable, humane meats used, organic)! I like that its elegant, food comes out fast, service is efficient, & I cant wait to try their other dishes! Were actually thinking of heading back here next week! :) my new favorite Chinese restaurant! ♡

One of the best restaurants Ive ever been to - delicious and delicately made organic Chinese food. Light, flavorful, healthy and all delivered with Renees lovely smile in an elegant atmosphere. With options from Vegan to roast duck, an ideal place to bring groups with different dining needs.

I was very impressed with Renees Place. The veggies tasted very fresh and were seasoned perfectly. The staff is amazing and they make you feel very comfortable. They have a lot of vegan options as well.

My parents have loved this place for years. I went to try it with them yesterday and fell in love with the food. Fresh and great taste. Even the leftovers today tasted fresh.

Service was so slow we felt forgotten. 4 other tables, seated after us were served before we were. The mound of Chinese French Fries was literally a small enough number of fries to count on two hands. No toes necessary (for counting). They were not fresh, not crispy, and not hot; and there was nothing Chinese about them. The rest of the food was the saltiest I think Ive ever had in a restaurant and serving sizes didnt justify the $11 price tag. Terrible experience all around. Well not be going back.

Ive had quite a few great meals here but what I get the most is the sizziling rice soup. Its our go to when anyone gets sick in our family. Such a nice clean broth.

Local people have been doubting about their organic foods for some times. They advertise they are an organic restaurant but without any approval. It would be nice if they can share some of their organic certifications with its customers. Just a thought.

The food is great. After not going for awhile because they dont deliver, I realize no other Chinese restaurant is nowhere near as good!
