Lincoln Chinese
489 F St, Lincoln, CA 95648, United States
My wife indicated she was in the mood for Chinese food and mentioned the Lincoln Chinese restaurant in downtown Lincoln. Instead of objecting that I wasnt thrilled with the food experience several years ago, I figured it might have been a bad night so things might have changed this time. Not the case and two other family members pretty much had the same complaints about the food as I did. All of the dishes were overly oily, to me they tasted like chicken fat and therefore each dish tasted the same. The shrimp was soggy, chow mein had huge noodles and were soaked in oil. I felt Panda Express was better than this place at a third of the cost. This was some of the worst Chinese food I ever had. Good sized portions, but like most people who look forward to leftovers the following day, our leftovers went directly into the trash can.

One of the very few places in San Jose that does not automatically contain vegetables in every fried rice they make. I very much appreciate that. Which is why it is my very favorite Chinese restaurant.

Compared to that Westminster Chinese restaurant on IG, this restaurants food portions are a crime. Dont order via their app and have it ready for pickup cause I noticed the portions are even smaller when youre not there in person. Food taste good, but the portions they provide is terrible. You can get tastier, larger portions of food for under $10 elsewhere.

Ordered a big plate all chowmein worker was confused said I want large box I said no box just large plate size chowmein. Then ordered teriyaki chicken small box. All went great until the lady dropped the small box on floor and it opened. She picked up sat back on counter and I said no thanks. Another worker rushed up threw the box away and started chopping up tiny scraps of teriyaki chicken to start new box but was just tiny pieces dried out so I said No thanks then was informed would take 10 minutes for new product. Already in store for 37 minutes as upon arriving no chowmein. Ill drive to Rocklin or Roseville next time. Never eating here again. Did buy the one plate of chowmein only for full price of a bigger plate with 2 entrees even though just chowmein. Good riddance

??✨THEY WERE TO ME ONE NIGHT AT ALMOST 10PM A LIFE SAVER, TRULY, BECAUSE ID NOT EATEN ALL DAY BECAUSE MY NORMAL CAREGIVER WAS OFF AND I WAS IGNORED BY ALL THE OTHERS. BUT THANKS TO CHINA KITCHEN, THEY LET ME PLACE A DELIVERY ORDER EVEN THOUGH I WAS A NEW CUSTOMER THAT LATE IN THE NIGHT. THE FOOD ARRIVED AT THE FACILITY WHERE I LIVE IN A VERY SHORT TIME HOT, AND ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. I LOVE HOW THEY PACKAGE THEIR FOOD AND SAUCES IN SEPARATE CONTAINERS SO THAT THINGS DONT GET SOGGY THAT ARE MEANT TO BE CRUNCHY. THEIR CRISPY NOODLES ARE THE BEST BECAUSE THEYRE FLAKEY TOO SIMILAR TO A FLOUR TACO SALAD SHELL. GREAT VEGGIE EGG ROLLS WHICH ARE WAY BETTER THAN JackNBox or ANYONE ELSE.IVE TOLD SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE, AND A FEW WHO WORK HERE, ABOUT HOW GREAT CHINA KITCHEN IS PLUS WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED, ETC. IM HOPING TO ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN SOON.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Edit-Darren is amazing and always has great customer service and is a credit to the company!! Yashua rung me up and he also had good customer service. This store is leapyears from the horrible service when covid started, Im glad they got rid of those other employees!!! I also added a star because they finally added a vegetarian option but they still cook in same wok/pans. My family love loves this place! It always smells amazing in here. I gave 4 stars because of how much my family comes here. I love how something fresh is always just coming out the wok. Its very freshly prepared. The location is always clean and the utensil section is never a mess. Ive never once had a bad reception from any of the employees. They are usually very outgoing and friendly. Now,heres where the 1star gets taken away. For a Chinese food place,where as, usually Chinese food can be safe for vegetarians,but not here. Everything is cooked with chicken stock. The vegetables are cooked in it,the rice is cooked in it, everything,so I have to suffer smelling this AMAZING smelling food and never have a taste(sad face). But definitely a place Ill bring the family to, especially on nights I dont feel like cooking. Dont forget to keep your receipt and do the survey and get an extra entree for free,it only takes a minute for some extra bomb food,for free.

One person at the counter & waiting on customers in the room but she was super nice. Food not great, actually I cook better Chinese at home using a cookbook. We have yet to find a good Chinese restaurant in Auburn. Maybe we just have high expectations coming from the Bay Area that has the best Chinese restaurants!

Noodle Art
117 N Lincoln Ave, Monterey Park, CA 91755, United States
Noodle Art in Monterey Park offers a captivating culinary experience straight from Xian, China. This new restaurant, specializing in biangbiang noodles and regional delicacies, is a testament to the passion and skill of its chef/owner, Xibao Wen. With over three decades of experience in his province of Shaanxi, Wen brings a wealth of expertise to his first venture in the U.S.Located in a strip mall, Noodle Art replaced a defunct Sichuan restaurant, and although it is not exclusively a Chinese Halal or Hui cuisine establishment, it draws influence from the Muslim Quarter of Xian. This influence is evident in some of their standout dishes, such as the Chinese cumin lamb hamburger, yangruo paomo (flatbread soaked in lamb soup), and succulent lamb kebabs. These offerings pay homage to the strong culinary and cultural impact of Northwestern Chinas Muslim population.What sets Noodle Art apart is Chef Wens belief that food is an art form, akin to the works of great impressionist painters like Van Gogh. His commitment to quality ingredients and the love of cooking shines through each dish. Quoting a passage from the book A Feast of Floyd, Wen describes himself as a noodle artist, emphasizing the combination of culinary skill, passion, and the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones.The menu at Noodle Art showcases the artistry and rich flavors derived from the merging of diverse influences along the historic Silk Road. The tantalizing aroma of the lamb and mutton dishes reveals the fusion of Middle Eastern and Chinese flavors, resulting in a truly unique dining experience.The service was excellent when we visited the restaurant. The girls there were very friendly and prompt with their service.Whether you are seeking the bold flavors of biangbiang noodles or exploring the enticing dishes inspired by the Muslim Quarter, Noodle Art offers a culinary journey that transports you to the vibrant streets of Xian. So, step inside this delightful restaurant and savor the artistry of Chef Wens creations, where each bite is a testament to his passion for culinary excellence.

I eat at PE alot!! I mean like 3 -4 days a week. I dont always go to the same one all the time either. So when I say that not all PEs are run the same, you can trust and believe that I know. I am a bit of a cheapskate, I use the companies promotions to have at least one free entre at each meal. Because I am always working a survey award free entre code or a free item card, I ocassionally run into a free item misfire..This has happened at just about every one Ive been to more then a couple of times. When there is a question about a free item I ask for the manager and almost all of them will say the same thing. PE reserves the right to decline your code. Or something to that effect. That is until I met Rose at the Thunder Valley PE.She is what comes to my mind when someone mentions a top rate or A manager. She knows what is important to Panda and that is customer satisfaction. Can you imagine that because of some transposition error in a code, many PE managers have thrown me away as a customer, and all of the orders that I would have made in the future?Lets say I have a legitimate way to earn a free item with each meal. And lets also say that once a month I have an issue with a code or card that would preclude me getting my free item. Many managers have said basically, tough. Even when it turns out not to be anything I did. They are condescending and dismissive. They dont care about their customer. These managers have thrown away 12 to 18 meals a month in perpetuity. I will not stand for being disrespected.This brings me back to the all star manager at the TV PE, Rose. This lady is tough but fair. Its obvious that the employees under her, look up to her for instruction and leadership. But its the manor in which she respectfully but firmly addressed my issues in a way that makes me feel appreceated as a customer. There are at least 6 other PE managers who should come and work for her, to see how its done. I am not saying she always placates me, there have been times when I didnt get what I wanted. But I have never been disrespected by her and I have always come back to her restaurant.Im not sure why, with her talent, she isnt a district manager. I recently watched as she delt with 5 simultaneous fires that would have made a less grounded managers head explode. And she did it with a smile on her face. This lady is a gem Panda. I hope you are encouraging her to stay and grow with the company. If it were not for her management style I would have quit coming to PE awhile ago. 5 stars for the all star at Thunder Valley Panda Express, Rose!
