Ate8 Noodle House
Asian Food Center, 2560 High Point Pkwy Suite #B1, Barstow, CA 92311, United States
Surprisingly good Asian food for Barstow. Doesnt compare to Asian restaurants of LA so you must temper your expectations. Still better than eating other fast food options here since I was wanting Asian food. Had the vegetable noodle soup and there fried chicken and both were really good especially with a little chili garlic sauce.
Panda Express
2801 Lenwood Rd, Barstow, CA 92311, United States
My experience at the Panda Express was terrible. I ordered the 2 entree combo with rice and chow mein. It does not take an expert to say that the chow mein was not fresh and was borderline on going bad. Maybe it was the heat at Barstow that day. But that should be a good reason to be extra careful not to serve food that is going bad. I mentioned it to one of the workers and she informed the manager. The manager on duty that day made a poor attempt for an apology. She must have called out sick when the company had classes for customer service and damage control. She made an insincere attempt to replace the food. I politely declined, ate my entrees and threw out the rice and noodles. I hope that noone git sick from the food that day. I have dined at other Panda Express locations but this one gets a triple thumbs down for me. Diners beware!
China Station Food To Go
1768 E Barstow Ave, Fresno, CA 93710, United States
Hands Down By Far THE MOST PLEASENT RESTAURANT THAT IVE EVER BEEN TOO IN MY 53YRS OF EXISTENCE!!! From the initial phone call to get directions and arriving to order food for My Daughter & Myself, The Young Ladies behind the Counter were very pleasant & accommodating, They even offered us drinks while we waited for our dinners to be prepared. If the food tastes just half as good as weve been treated then Im in for an amazing dinner!! I Absolutely Give this lil family owned restaurant a solid 5 stars, I definitely recommend & Im definitely coming back, as a matter of fact Ive already locked in their number on my speed dial #5(Only following My Children, lol)

Panda Palace
975 Armory Rd, Barstow, CA 92311, United States
We saw the sign for Panda Palace after we left the Rubidoux swapmeet Sunday. Smells good tastes good but no sauce. All the meat dishes are dry. Not sure if stir fried or baked. But nothing deliciously sitting in any sauce. Thats different. I like to have a bit of some of the sauce it was cooked in over my rice. Also the meat simmering in a flavorful sauce would be preferable to just dry chicken bits on top of rice. The meat was tasty but needs to be more moist. Its hard to explain. I didnt take pics this time but Im definitely going back for another try. The food is good enough & deserves another chance for a better review with pics.
Stater Bros. Markets
957 Armory Rd, Barstow, CA 92311, United States
Loads of handicap parking. 3 Power carts but if its not available then any of the baggers will push the cart. Now the store is tight so no wild driving. Rarely are there any holes on the shelves. In last 4 years I have only come across one expired item, which compared to the other grocery stores V & W. Most of my positives dont apply to the V&W. Also Stater Bros was started as a mom & pop, however I am not sure how its run now. They also carry just about everything in Organics. Lastly I have one serious issue. Long lines; they have fewer clerks, now they will open lines. Having worked as an express cashier eons ago, my recommendation is to be prepared for burst customers by having registers pre-counted, back up cashiers and keep them there until the rush is over. I have serious physical limitations and when I walk in and see the 3 lines open with the entire front walkway full of waiting customers; I walk out and head over to my backup store.
Village Cafe
201 E Main St, Barstow, CA 92311, United States
Unexpectedly great Chinese food when you least expect it! We were driving from the Grand Canyon to back to LA. Having void of any Chinese food for a week, my cant-live-with-rice-for-a-day father was dying for some rice. When we passed by Barstows Main Street, looking very much desolated, despite shown on the map as some sort of map street, my mom spotted some Chinese characters on their windows. Peeking from outside, theres not much hope, but were we pleasantly surprised! Given we are from Hong Kong and living in Vancouver now, we have had plenty of good Cantonese Cuisine and we know the so-sos to the good ones.This place is one of those places where they still do it OLD SCHOOL - properly! Bravo to the owners & the chef! The restaurant is still manned by kindly grandpa whos in his eighties but still bright and energetic! If ever given a chance, I will definitely visit again.
Wahs Kitchen

Some of the best Asian food in town! I highly recommend giving it a try.Great portions and the people running the restaurant are precious
Panera Bread
2570 High Point Pkwy, Barstow, CA 92311, United States
The person working the counter vacated her post, to make coffee, as all 3 of the large coffee dispensers were empty, when I got here. There was nobody up front, for nearly 5 min., until another employee spotted me, standing at the counter, patiently waiting.She then rang up my order, & told me they were making coffee, & itd be ready in 5 minutes. The original person, then re-appeared, & asked the first of 3 people waiting for coffee, if that customer wanted dark roast coffee, since it had finished brewing. She grabbed this persons cup, & whirled toward the back.I wanted dark roast coffee, as well, so I stated this, trying to save her another trip.She turned back, then rudely yelled, In a minute! She then stalked to the back with 1 coffee cup.She couldve easily carried 2 cups to the back & filled them. It wasnt my fault that Panera Bread Barstow was out of all their coffee, at the same time.I didnt appreciate how extremely rude the Panera counter worker was to me, either.I got a Chocolate Croissant, along with my Dark Roast Coffee. The croissant was good, & my coffee tasted good, as well, after I finally got it.The customer isnt always right, but they certainly arent the enemy, either.
Pilot Travel Center
2591 Commerce Pkwy, Barstow, CA 92311, United States
Nice center, Barstow has really grown from the pit stop it used to be into a full-blown city!! You can find anything you like here now! And the Pilot Travel Center is no exception! As usual, there are big-rigs here getting gasoline and other services, the auto lane is not as clearly marked as you might expect, so stay alert when turning onto this side street to get to the Pilot. And the McDonalds next door had some problems with its drive-through lane. The line was one car short of being out to the street and I only sat in the line about 3 minutes, enough to know I wasnt going to wait until they got the line moving again.... But the Pilot Travel Center was customarily staffed and things moved inside there. Glad to see that a traveler can rely on the Pilot Travel Center, even if the staff is a bit grumby, things are still moving there.
