Fu Restaurant

I've ordered assorted fried rice noodles twice before.Because it was delicious, I ordered it again today.But what I brought today tastes weirdIt looks like its not fried thoroughly and the seasoning is uneven. Some are very salty and some have no taste at all.There are also a lot less mushrooms and the shrimps taste even more rustic.I suspect it was for quick meal preparation, so it was cooked very poorly.I hope we can control the quality againI was hungry all morning and finally managed to eat lunch. I was really angry to eat something like this?
China Palace Restaurant
2932 N Main St, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, United States
Great overall experienceTL;DRPremise: We want a place between Sacramento and San Jose along I680 for lunch. We want Chinese food but not necessarily serving regional specialties for a good ($$) value. A familiar brand/chain (e.g. Panda, PFC) of known quality and value was not necessary.Given the aforementioned parameters, China Palace (CP) in Walnut Creek is the most highly rated Chinese restaurant based on its location (adjacent to I680) and online reviews (with at least a few hundred reviews to eschew initial soft-opening bias).Food: We start with a couple dim sum items. Note that this place is not a “dim sum” restaurant and has a very limited selection. However, we are interested in standard fare: char siu bao (pork buns) and har gow.(shrimp dumplings). Surprisingly, as we order the buns, the server asks whether we want steamed or baked. Steamed but they offer both! The appetizers come out quickly and are hot, delicate and tasty as if they are just shuttled off a dim sum cart. As with most dim sum, these are more than likely prepared earlier (perhaps offsite and/or even frozen) but CP is able to sustain their delectability.Following our family tradition (of fostering fairness ;-), each diner chooses a favorite dish: spicy eggplant, chow mein (Hong Kong style), mapo tofu, dry fried string beans, mongolian beef and sweet and sour pork, a mish mash of Cantonese, Szechuan, Mongolian (but probably originated in Taiwan) dishes and all somewhat Americanized for the domestic(ated) palate. The server is thoughtfully explicit with respect to the desired heat for the spicy dishes.Just like the appetizers, the entrees are paraded out promptly. All the items taste fresh, uniquely flavorful and not drowning in thick generic sauce. The vegetable ingredients are cooked to the proper tenderness and not mushy. The fried noodles are hot and crispy but not oily. The mapo tofu, albeit milder than usual, does have a hint of obligatory szechuan peppercorn. Finally, the pork is batter fried yet not oily and does not bloat the generous protein inside.Decor: The space is very typical for a restaurant residing in a strip mall. Clean and not overly ornate. They have tables for two up to banquet tables topped with lazy Susans (rotating dumbwaiters). The entire facility (including WCs) was navigable by the two disabled patrons in our party.Service: Although reviewers complained about the service, we found the sole server to be responsive even when the restaurant is fully seated and take-out orders are flying out the door. Our water glasses are consistently filled. Perhaps, our group is more forgiving because we realize the staff is bilingual or that we have all worked in food services in the past.Bottom line: We have sampled many of the Chinese restaurants in the bay area over the last four decades. This place is as delightful as any we have been including some of our local mainstays in the south bay and even SF. If we lived closer we would be frequenting CP more often.

Small fast food Chinese restaurant, they have been around for a long time . So for those looking for a more American style Chinese restaurant, this place is for you . Its a small place to grab something quick, and they have their frequent diners that come in and dine, and also do a whole lot of Togo orders . Overall never had a problem with this place, for the price and amount of food you get . We also order party trays from here .

Shanghai Chinese Restaurant

Love this place! Authentic good Chinese food! The owner is a sweetheart. Been a customer here since they opened! They are hands down one of the 2 best Chinese restaurants in Visalia, and I also cook Chinese food!
Dumpling Hours
United States, California, Walnut Creek, N Main St, 邮政编码: 94596
I paid a visit to dumpling hours today, foods are okay, XLB pork soup dumplings and Pan fried steam buns are top notch, the rest of dishes are so so, I would give the food 4 out of 5, but the service is horrible, to be honest, there were three ladies serving, the older one is rude particularly, first look at me judging then look at the watch, because i entered the store right at 11 am, when they should open, she reluctantly took me and sat me in the corridor without even asking, I spoke Chinese tonher( well I can speak Chinese and it’s a Chinese restaurant) she seems like not willing to talk in in Chinese, then told me to scan the QR code, walked away, I ordered some foods, came relatively quick, but seems like everybody is busy, no smiling, no refill of water, i ordered more foods, so they put two receipts on my table and ladies keep come checking, and told me this one is the final check while I was eating, it’s such a small table, you can see from the picture! I regret going there honestly and gave a 10% tip, I don’t think the service is acceptable, and I don’t understand why everybody tried to speak broken English to me while they all can speak Chinese! Anyway would not recommend this restaurant, again foods are good, service is one star
East Ocean Seafood Restaurant
1841 Ygnacio Valley Rd, Walnut Creek, CA 94598, United States
Really wanted to like this place. Food is just ok. Ordered HK style crispy noodles with shrimp and ck, $16.50 and I got 4 (31-40 size small shrimps) and lots of chicken. Mushroom with bok Choy was good, but for $15.95, expected more portion. Got the imitation meat kung pao ck, the imitation meat is probably one of the worst tasting ones we’ve had, and we’ve had many from all over the world - It’s bland and watery and nothing like real ck. We also got s&p tofu, that was good, but again, for $13.95, expected more (most places charge $8). Brown rice is $3.75 for a small bowl.Service was nice, almost a little too much as I was approached twice just walking by glancing at their menu OUTSIDE.Overall impressions, food was bland (even for my standards), pricey and portion is a little small for the price. Service is good if that’s what you’re looking for, which is rare for Chinese restaurants.
Panda Express

Panda Express has good quality Chinese Food. I definitely recommend their bigger plate option if you are really hungry. Their food has the right balance of taste and seems healthier than other Chinese restaurants.

Chinese Restaurant - Fast Food Chain for Chinese-American food. The service was fast, the food taste was average and the price was more than acceptable.
