“Came in with no expectation and left with tastebuds and wallet happy!I had reservations about coming here due to the name that sounds like it caters to the same Panda Express crowd. However, after some vetting and missing our old chinese Noodle house that closed down, we decided to give this place a try. What drew us in was the lunch specials. Duh, savings of any kind makes the food taste even better. We ordered from the lunch menu:-$13 kung pao chicken 4.5 stars!-$14 ginger fish 4.0 stars! (lunch special $12.99 + $1 for fish)They were busy with 2 large orders for catering but they managed to get our food out in a timely fashion. Although I do want to mention it took the server awhile before she came back to our table to grab our order. Poor girl, she was running back and forth. I appreciate the effort!So my ginger fish, really good and not too salty. They fried the fish pieces and than sauteed in a soy type sauce. I loved how crunchy and how the fish was super tender. For my side I wanted soup but they haven't made it yet. Luckily they're so good we'll definitely be back to try the soup. Lover's kung pao chicken was even better! Although it got pretty salty after a couple of bites. Going back and forth between the ginger and kung pao chicken was a perfect balance. It's worth mentioning going back for that hit of chicken always catches me off guard with how much umami flavor it carried. I want to say it tasted like *ahem msg, BUT the menu clearly states NO MSG. That's how good it was! I love everything about this restaurant so far and will definitely be back soon. A tip for parking: Super tight small parking located in the same plaza as Oli Boli donuts. You can't see it but go further back and there's more parking behind the restaurant. Do go during non peak hours. Winner winner chicken dinner!“
“I loved: $24 Boiled White fish I really liked: $15 Fried String Beans + $23 Lamb skewers + $10 Impressive Bean Jelly + $41 Braised whole Sea Bass + $23 Fried Squid Dry Pot + Incredible #goodeats but so spicy! Clearly I liked the less spicy stuff but even so, you can tell everything here uses high quality ingredients. I'd say it's 90% as good as in China itself which is honestly impressive. Service is expected for an Asian resturant. You absolutely have to flag a waiter down. You will feel ignored if you don't do so. Same for the noise level. It's a bunch of Asian people loudly talking. We got there at 11:30 and there was plenty of seating but as soon as 12:15 rolled around, there was a wait list.“
“We have been coming to sushi bear since it opened for years now and not sure if there's been a change in ownership last few years but quality continually slides down with the taste and menu options have shifted from unique to basic. Kind of disappointed with our last visit, but the staff was nice. If you're a basic rolls kind of customer then this is the place.“
“This was our first time coming here and it was legitimately some of the best late night food I've had. We came in pretty late and ordered chicken, fries, and shrimp dishes and that was more than enough for our group. The service was excellent and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone. I will for sure be back with other people.“
“Food and service here are fantastic. Located right on first street before you get to Newport. Parking can be a bit difficult to find if the plaza is busy but there is plenty of parking in the rear, it'll just be a small walk to the restaurant. There's plenty of seating available and is a good size for a family gathering. We ordered online and picked up at the restaurant. Let me start off by saying that the food is good. Plenty of flavor is packed in each bite. We were just disappointed with the portion size of the takeout. Other restaurants had larger portions for about the same price. Definitely good flavor but a bit pricey for the portion for takeout. We will come back and try dining in and see if there's any difference.“
“I've been here a few times and am always extremely satisfied. It seems like every dish they bring to the table is fantastic. Can't wait to go back!Parking: The parking lot is tiny. You can park in the lot next door but that gets full too.“
“The roast fish and BBQ skewers are pretty authentic. The environment is also interesting if you understand the culture. It is kinda pricey for the amount of the food. The roast fish plate looks big but it is actually not that much. Two people can spend 100 easily with some drinks.“
“Very highend Chinese restaurant, which is a rarity. Very tastefully done interior. You come here for the peking duck experience. Coming here and not ordering peking duck just doesn't make any sense. From presentation to the flavor and texture, it is beyond any other peking duck I've ever had. They even smoke a portion right at the table and it is unforgettable. Their other menu offerings are also great but a little over priced. Very professional staff.“
“Came here for Katsu and service and food were good. Wish they could have given me more curry bc not enough for three rice. The Katsu is juicy and thick with a lovely texture. A meal is about 14-15 which is a little high considering without a drink and a fast food type. But at least better than regular fast foods“
“I wanted to make reservations the night before but didn't due plan changes. My friends and I finally decided to stop by hoping to get a table. The reservation filled up so quick that they told us it would be over an hour. What a bummer I thought . Luckily the host was so nice enough o seat us in within 10 minutes . We were seated in a cave like room . It was such a cool vibe . The drinks and food were really good. Definitely coming back soon.“
