Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
4195 Century Blvd, Pittsburg, CA 94565, United States
This place has really went downhill. Ive never written a review for the Olive garden because it was always decent. I didnt feel a review was necessary since most people do not expect a high-end experience and they do not expect a fast food experience. My last visit prompted me to write a review because it was just the last straw. If I went into my other experiences then this review would take a very long time so Ill just do this one. Our waitress took us to a table where there was filthy dishes and dirty napkins filled with food crusted silverware inside. Also the side of the table had a spilled drink all over the chairs and the ice was still fresh all over the side of the carpet. This was a very busy time of the day but if the table is not ready, why would somebody place people there? We had to go and get a manager considering all the waiters and waitresses kept disappearing for very extended periods of time. The manager came and cleaned it himself. He must have got that waitress because she showed up immediately and before we even sat down we ordered our food. We already knew what we want since we were waiting for an hour. We were told it would be a 40 minute wait and we waited for that time outside. We came in and then had to wait an additional half an hour. This gave us plenty of time to review the menu. I ordered the same thing I always do the chicken and shrimp carbonara with the zuppa Toscana soup. The first thing I noticed about dining in was they changed the decor. Maybe this has been like this for a while but I havent been in this restaurant since a year before the pandemic began. It felt way more modern and no longer an old Italy feel. They also changed their dinnerware. The dishes were half the size. They bring you one breadstick per person at a time and it takes them 20 minutes to bring you another per person serving. It took us 30 minutes to get our bowl of soup. My sons chicken gnocchi had no dumplings. He got a second bowl and yet again no dumplings. The rest of the food was fine overall but the service was terrible. We only seen our waitress once after our order. She never came by to check up to see if we needed any refills or bread and we never even seen her helping other guests. We seen one waitress helping other tables and she seemed like a good waitress. The rest of the staff was MIA the entire time we were waiting for our food. I realize that there are staffing issues but we seen about six workers standing where the host stands. Why would the manager have six hosts but only two servers? Well its because those servers kept standing by the host and hanging out instead of doing their job. We know this because we went looking for our waitress because my son needed something to drink. We had an entirely different waitress come and ask us if we wanted a refill so then we thought maybe our waitress went on lunch or went home for the day. But when the machine started to malfunction when trying to pay the bill we had to talk to another waitress and ask if we got double charged. Suddenly our waitresses decided to show up. (Tip time?!) A long with two other waitresses that were standing around doing nothing. I mean this sounds like a how many people does it take to change a light bulb scenario. How many waitresses does it take to run a credit card? Funny thing, not one of them actually answered any of our questions or tried to help. They just stared like they had no idea that we were speaking English too. We were going to leave a large tip but after our terrible experience we changed the gratuity amount.
Panera Bread
4326 Century Blvd, Pittsburg, CA 94565, United States
This was actually our first time eating at Panera Bread. Myself, wife, and daughter each had the broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl and a 4cheess pizza. ( $45. ) First the soup tasted good, even though it was almost cold. There just wasn’t enough, maybe 5 bites … gone! It was served with a bread roll, which was refrigerated cold. Not sure what we were supposed to do with it anyway sense the soup was in a bread bowl already. The pizza was also lukewarm and cold by the end of the meal. Pizza was also kind of doughy should have been cooked more.The serving plates were ice cold, so this may have helped cause the cold food.We may eat at Panera Bread again, but it definitely will not be the Pittsburg, Century Plaza restaurant!!!

My first visit to this quaint petite restaurant. I ordered chicken pancit and vegetable lumpia to go. It took about 10 or 15 minutes. The cashier was pleasantly cheerful. The total was $11 and some change. It has been a long few years since the last time I had pancit at a potluck. I just had a craving for it today. Anyways, while driving home, I grabbed a lumpia to munch on and it was cold. Not room temp cold but refrigerator cold. I thought it could have at least been heated in a toaster oven, which is what I did with the remaining 3 pieces when I got home. The lumpia came with a dipping sauce which tasted like vinegar?? The chicken pancit was steamy hot, down to the last morsel and very good. Nice portion but only one lemon wedge. I have to remember to take pictures of the food, dang it!! I was hungry, haha!!-The mail lady
RamenTeaCa
3817 Railroad Ave, Pittsburg, CA 94565, United States
Worth a try ~ RecommendedFried oysters are very crunchy and delicious, not greasy at allTakoyaki snacks are also very good. They are hot and crispy when delivered, and the batter inside is very fluffy ~ deliciousFor my staple ramen, I ordered the tonkotsu flavor. The soup was very rich and a little spicy to increase my appetite. The ingredients in the noodles were also very rich, including three thick pieces of barbecued pork, fungus, shredded bamboo shoots, soft-boiled eggs, and shredded radish. It was worth it. ! !It would be better if the soft-boiled eggs were pickled, but they are actually quite delicious?In fact, there is also a bowl of spicy oil beef ramen, which tastes great and highly recommended! ! The beef flavor is very rich and the soup is equally delicious~ Recommended??But for drinks, the brown sugar milk tea I ordered had no brown sugar flavor at all...I dont know if he made a mistake and made it just a normal milk tea~ I didnt open it until I got home and drank it, so I couldnt ask...
Nicks Sandwiches
765 Railroad Ave, Pittsburg, CA 94565, United States
READ IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING CATERING WITH THIS BUSINESSI have been placing catered orders for my company for nearly three years now. Working with this business is the most unprofessional catered experience I have ever come across.I placed an order for sandwiches for a meeting that our client was hosting at their facility a week in advanced. When I placed the order, I was told I would be called the day of to confirm the order and collect payment. With an hour and a half left to go before delivery time, I still had not heard from them, so I decided to call. I proceeded to call their business five times over the next hour (during their open business hours) and did not get through to them once. After leaving multiple voicemails, I explained that I have to assume that they are not fulfilling the order, as they had not collected payment. I continued to tell them that I need to cancel the order at this point, as I had no way to be sure it would be delivered as promised.I proceed to order from another sandwich shop in the area (Five stars to Parma Deli, they fulfilled a large order in under and hour.) Then, two hours later, I receive a phone call from Nicks telling me that they expect me to pay them now. I come to find out that they delivered to the address I had given them, but did not hand it off to the representatives of my company. Rather, they delivered directly to our clients, with nothing to sign, leaving them to wonder what is going on.So, I told the person on the phone that I had canceled the order because they had not confirmed it. She proceeded to yell at me for ten minutes and then hung up on me as I was asking her to speak with me like a professional.Here is the BEST PART!After she got off the phone with me, she proceeded to CALL OUR CLIENT AND HARASS THEM FOR PAYMENT.My company decided to bite the bullet and pay for the food that was not delivered to us. We will never do business with the company again though. I suggests you do the same.
Wah Sing Chinese Restaurant
2222 Railroad Ave, Pittsburg, CA 94565, United States
Wah Sing serves the best traditional Chinese cusine I have ever eaten.If you like hot and spicey food, Wah Sing serves delicious soups cooked with numbing spices and hot peppers. Wah Sing is not the typical Chinese American restaurant. It offers another option of the diverse traditional Chinese cusine. I highly recommend it.
Uncle Wang Chinese Restaurant

Uncle Wang Chinese Restaurant on Railroad Ave has consistently been my go-to spot for delicious Chinese cuisine in Pittsburg, and my latest visit only solidified its place in my favorites.Over the years, Ive developed a penchant for their exquisite menu, and this time was no exception. I ordered a variety of dishes, including shrimp fried rice, sweet and sour pork, hot and sour soup, sweet and sour chicken, beef chow fun, and shrimp and broccoli. Each dish was a delightful symphony of flavors, showcasing the chefs skill in creating authentic and mouthwatering Chinese cuisine.The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite, highlighting the restaurants commitment to quality. The shrimp fried rice had a perfect balance of textures, the sweet and sour pork was crispy yet tender, and the hot and sour soup delivered a satisfying kick.

The friendly staff adds a personal touch, making each visit enjoyable.Ive been a patron for the last three years, and the consistency in both service and culinary excellence keeps me coming back.

CreAsian Bistro
610 Railroad Ave, Pittsburg, CA 94565, United States
Im a father of 3 girls and know how it can be difficult as a parent. But what i saw today made me sick to my stomach. While i was eating my bowl of pho i had an awesome view of the kitchen. An older child wheeled in a younger sibling into the resturaunt to meet with mom who i found out is the owner. The child around 3 years old had a full diaper. The owner proceeded to pick up the child and change the boys dirty diaper on a prep station where the basil and bean sprouts are kept before the soup hits the floor. This made me sick to my stomach. I asked our waitress if the child was being prepped on a food station in the kitchen...she replied no. 15 minutes later another waitress brought over the basil to refill the station and had the leaves sitting directly where the childs butt and matter were changed. She flat out lied. When i paid the check i told the waitress how disapointed and disgusted i was that they would serve food on that surface, they ended up refunding my check as i walked back to my car and they chased me down after i said my peace. I did not yell, curse or threaten. No hands were washed and you could see the childs feet all over the condiment containers. I understand being a parent is hard, but i do not wish for ANYONE to get sick as this was an egregious no no as far as health standards go for public food. I heed you warning if you go because i will never go back and tell anyone that goes of what i saw for their own safety.
Little Js Pittsburg
3350 Loveridge Rd, Pittsburg, CA 94565, United States
I ordered the tri tip dinner per the young lady's recommendation, ordered coleslaw and baked beans as sides, and also got a side of garlic fries. The garlic fries and the baked beans were the best part and I'm pretty sure the baked beans were just bush's baked beans and the fries kinda tasted stale? Not sure how to explain it. The tri tip was well done and covered in mushrooms and onions that were not seasoned with even salt and pepper, it looked like something that belonged on a French dip, as it was way way over cooked and not well seasoned at all. It came with a side of au jus and that tasted like water.With how hyped up this place is, I was expecting a lot more. I could have gotten the same plate for cheaper at Kinders and I wouldn't have been disappointed. I spent $30 (including a $5 tip) just to go home and feed it to my dogs.
Skyview Noodle & Tea
200 E 3rd St, Pittsburg, CA 94565, United States
This restaurant is located in an area where you least expected; in fact it looks like it was a former bar. The owners are pretty hands on when it comes to service and making the food (which was also a problem because the husband was the only one in the dining room and the wife was working the kitchen by herself).They do have lot of great food here, but there are some you can skip. The beef noodle rolls is one you can skip. The Shanghai dumpling was good, and will satisfy your craving if you cant make it to SF. The fresh noodles soup was truly fresh, you can taste it from the texture and the soup base had MSG. Their small appetizer plates was a bit on the saltier side, but their tea egg was pretty flavorful. Pot stickers was a bit greasy and the taste and it didnt appear freshly made. Their green onion pancake had very minimum green onion so you dont get that taste.Menu is also a bit confusing as their numbering is duplicated elsewhere in the menu so make sure you point to what you want instead of calling out the number.Although the service here was friendly the speed of food delivery was very painfully slow.. we got here at 8:00PM and didnt finish our meal until after 9:30PM
