Christine R.

We had been hearing about this spot from our friends in Vallejo for a while--they always rave about the garlic soy wings and even say they're better than San Tung in San Francisco. On top of that, former Golden State Warriors player Festus Ezeli has been here and said he loved the wings, so we had to check it out while we were in the area. When we got there, it was already busy, but we were glad we were able to get a table right away. Good thing we came when we did, because a wait started forming shortly after. We did have to wait a bit for our food, but it was understandable--they had a steady flow of call-in and DoorDash orders going out. We ordered the garlic soy wings, salt and pepper fish, and shrimp fried rice. First off, the shrimp fried rice actually had real, good-sized shrimp--not those tiny ones you sometimes get--which we really appreciated. The wings were flavor town: crispy, packed with flavor, and super satisfying. Even though you can see peppers in the dish, there wasn't really a spicy kick, which is different from San Tung, where there's usually a slight heat. That said, even without the spice, these wings absolutely live up to the hype. The salt and pepper fish was also a standout--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Overall, I can see why people compare this place to San Tung. They're both delicious, just in their own way.

I'd heard about this place before it popped off on social media, but finally tried it after seeing all this talk about the garlic sauce chicken wings. While it was good, I believe that it doesn't compare to San Tung's because it's in its own league. The wings here were less saucy, but crispy. Different flavor to San Tung's wings and I kinda wish food influencers didn't compare the two, but instead just highlighted this place for its good food and awesome decor (Lego sets!). My bf and I also tried the pineapple fried rice, which was recommended to us by my friend (Vallejo native who frequented 3 Star), the garlic string beans, and salt and pepper prawns. My favorite dish was the salt and pepper prawns, but everything was flavorful and delicious to us. The food tasted clean, not heavily oiled. We went during dinnertime on a Friday and there were a lot of phone-in and to-go orders, so they were busy. There were only like 2 people working in the front, so service was a bit slow. We didn't mind because we understood how busy they were! We would love to come again and try more foods.

3 Star has become a local favorite in town. It specializes in Chinese and Filipino cuisine. Nothing fancy but some foods that you might eat in Filipino and or Chinese homes. I know because I am both Filipino and Chinese as well as skilled in the kitchen. My father and brother come here quite often so it's a rare occasion for me but I wanted a soup that my dad orders. The beef stew noodle soup. It's a large portion with a tasty broth and lots of vegetables and even bok choy. My only thing is normally the meat is cooked extremely tender but not quite in this case. Nevertheless i would still recommend 3 because it's reasonable in price and the service is friendly.

Been hearing so much about 3 Star restaurant the past couple years and mostly about how they have better wings than San Tung so I had to check it out. I went with the garlic sauce wings, salt & pepper wings, and green beans. The wings were pretty good, especially the garlic sauce wings. It was crispy, sticky, and sweet just like the Dry Fried Wings from San Tung. With that being said, I felt like the flavor isn't as good and it was a tad bit too salty in my opinion. Super friendly staff and everything came out hot and fresh. It's not quite San Tung, but I definitely recommend giving 3 star a try.

Always my favorite spot, never had a dish I didn't love! Lately they have been slammed since they blew up on IG and TT because of their garlic sauce chicken wings. Whenever I come in, either for dine in or to-go, they definitely try their best to get their food out as quickly as possible, but everyone should understand they are a small family run business & they definitely want their food to have quality, so please be patient. Today we ordered to-go...Chicken corn soup, crispy fried chicken, garlic sauce chicken wings, beef & broccoli, pancit miki-bihon, and steamed fish. Oh sooo good.

Today's visit was 3 Stars in Vallejo, CA. I will jump into the customer service. Upon entering the establishment, the waitress asked me whether I wanted to dine in or do a To-Go order. I said Dine-In. She sat us down--no menus, no water, no nothing. My son had to get the menu off a nearby table. We looked over at others. They were sitting down waiting for their food. There was a large party that ordered everything on the menu. They were here long before us. So there should have been some acknowledgement of my table. We were hungry and ready to eat. The wait staff kept walking around to everyone but us. No lie, I was super annoyed by the time the wait staff came to us. The young man was nice, but they only had two people waiting on tables and doing to-go orders. They've got to hire more staff. Until then, I might not visit. It didn't take long for the food to arrive to the table. The salt-and-pepper chicken was super salty. I won't order that again. The skin was super crunchy. If I make it back, I'll try the regular chicken. I needed hella water. The house fried rice was okay. Nothing special about it. It was plain. I put it in the chicken sauce I had, and it was much better. The garlic string beans were great when paired with those onions. They were crispy when you bit into them. I love those. The garlic sauce chicken was the best thing I had there. If I had to order from there, I would get that alone. It would be a great serving size for two folks. I ordered salt & pepper prawns, but they couldn't get them to the table in time for us to try them hot. Bring your own drinks. I'm not sure if they provide any. It was so packed inside the restaurant that I didn't see a soda fountain. Maybe order To-Go?

GARLIC SAUCE CHICKEN WINGS. MUST. ORDER.

Leonora S.

Little restaurant in a shopping plaza that provides a warm family vibe and good customer service! Order the GARLIC SAUCE CHICKEN WINGS! I go here specifically for this and eat it there. In my opinion, it's their specialty. The chicken flats are tossed in a tasty sticky sweet spicy glaze, dried chili peppers, and onions. Although it's tossed in a sauce, it retains its crispiness! The flavors of all the ingredients are infused to the bone! Eat this with plain steamed rice (put some sauce on top of it) and you are set! I even eat the dried chili peppers! It's so good! You don't need to travel to SF to get something that you can get in your own hometown! (I even say better!)

Garlic wings, chow mein, broccoli beef, fried rice

lexis b.

I have been doing togos here for the garlic chicken wings over five years.. I recently dined in with my friends and it was amazing. The side orders of fried rice and chow mein were enough to feed three adults and four kids... the garlic chicken wings are amazing If you go here you have to get these.. the service was good. Our server was very sweet and attentive. The ambience is more fast pace and families also doing a feast style. They also have a lot of Legos everywhere so you have to keep your kids very close. Us having four kids under 6 they were definitely trying to grab the knickknacks.

Salt & pepper fish was ok. We ordered extra onions since we love them.

MARJORIE S.

Nice family owned business. Garlic sauce chicken wings and dry cooked green beans were AMAZING! Be ready to wait as it gets busy. Popular spot for dining in, phonedin orders and those just walking in to place a to go order. Restaurant had cool Lego displays and was a very clean establishment. We thought the egg soup and salt & pepper fish were under seasoned. We can't wait to come back to try their other dishes. Huge variety of Chinese and Filipino dishes.

We came to 3 Star Restaurant just before 7pm for their hyped Garlic Sauce Chicken Wings. The place was packed and a madhouse! No one was available to greet us and seat us as they were so busy with all the takeout, so we just found our own table and groaned our own menus. There was one lady working all the take out orders and one lady working the dine in customers. We waited just over 20 minutes before our order was taken. I did try to wave the waitress down to take our order and was told that we will have to wait and she eventually came back. The food came out relatively fast once our order was taken (a lot faster than waiting to place our order). When the waitress brought out the first couple dishes she noticed we had no plates and utensils, she joked "just use your fingers, ok" before she ran back to get plates and utensils. When she came back, we literally were using our fingers which gave her a chuckle. There was a couple tables in the center of the restaurant that was taken over with all their take out orders and people standing all around the center tables waiting to place their take out order or waiting for their order. It was kind of an organized-disorganized chaos in there. Food (4.5/5): everything was delicious and portions were generous. - Garlic Sauce Chicken Wings: people have been hyping these wings up on social media saying they are comparable to or better than "San Tung" in San Tung in San Francisco. They were excellent, good crispiness and very flavorful. I wouldn't say they are better than "San Tung", but if you can make it to S.F., then there wings may be the best in the area. - House Special Hong Kong Style Pan Fried Noodles: good overall, but in my opinion, needed stronger flavors. - Yang Chow Fried Rice: has shrimp, chicken and chopped up Chinese sausage in it. Good flavor, but I would like it to be slightly saltier. - Honey Sauce Pork Chops: from the name, you probably can guess that this dish is sweet. My kids really liked it, but if you are not into sweet meat, then you should pass on this one and go with the Salt & Pepper Pork Chops. - Salt & Pepper Eggplant: basically salt & pepper pork chops, but replace the pork with eggplant. The eggplant has a nice crispy batter and cooked perfectly, so it's not mushy. The twist of flavor that I did not expect was dried black beans which really enhanced the flavor of this dish. Service (1 Star): outside of taking your order and bringing you your order, there was virtually no service. Like I stated above, we had to seat ourselves, grab our own menus, wave down the waitress to place our order, to get water, to get boxes for our leftovers and to get our bill. They definitely looked short staffed as there was only 1 waitress working the dine-in customers and 1 person working the take-out customers. Ambiance (2/5 Stars): CHAOTIC!!! When we arrived the restaurant was pretty packed with only a few open tables and a couple dirty tables from prior customers. There was a ton of people standing around the center tables (where they placed the completed take out orders) waiting to place their take out order or waiting to pick up their take out order. All along the walls were different LEGO decors which was fun to look at. They were so busy today that they were sold out of beef, string beans, chow fun and fish. They close at 9pm, but they locked their door so no new customers could come in and had to unlock the door to let customers out. This is my first visit here and based on this visit, there name 3 Stars fits my rating. Was their much hyped Garlic Sauce Chicken Wings worth the chaos and wait....maybe. I am not sure if the business is always this chaotic, but I would come back in the future for their wings and other offerings. Hopefully things wouldn't be this chaotic the next time.

If you like wings with garlic sauce this might be a place you could try. We come here mainly for this and they always cook them perfect every time Hot, crispy and the right amount of spice. I was introduce to this m from my mom and we been coming back when we crave these wings. I don't usually like saucy wings but this is an exception. Service is good and we call in the order for pick up and eat it up at home.

Eui O.

The garlic chicken wings are legit crispy, saucy, spicy kick with a hint of onions and salt flavors. Is it San Tungs? Does it matter? It's a wonderful tasty wings that hits my flavor cravings. I've found my commute wing stop. I'll try their other classics like dried fried green beans, and crispy garlic tofu and eggplant. But the wings I'll come back for over and over again. Service is on the slower side but can't complain once you take a bite of these sweet garlicky wings.

I am extremely disappointed with the restaurant's name, they aren't 3 star! They should've been 5 star! This is a Chinese restaurant with some popular Filipino dishes in the menu. It is located in a plaza with various establishments. Excellent customer service, very good food, priced reasonably. Very clean inside and the ambiance wih plenty of Chinese decors everywhere. The chicken wings is so crunchy saucy and delicious. I will get that again on my next visit. The salt and pepper prawns are also very good, perfectly seasoned and fried. 10 minutes wait time for a to go order in a late night 1 hour before closing time. This restaurant is good for dine in, alone or in groups. Togo and delivery is also fine. They accept cash and cards. This place is highly recommended!

Honestly, I come here just for the Salt and pepper wings. It's just so good. We tried the salt and pepper pork chops but it wasn't the same. They used panko and it just didn't have the same taste we enjoyed. The porkchop would be amazing if it was cooked the same as the chicken wings. My family and I always get a tray of it.

The only thing I'm disappointed about is that I did not know about this place years ago. I came here on a Saturday at lunch time to do some recon work for a company picnic. It wasn't very busy, but they had a lot of to-go and party platters going out. I heard about their garlic sauce chicken wings and read a review saying it was a lighter version of San Tung's in the City. I've been going to San Tung for at least 20 years and would drive from Marin when I got the craving. We'll, I must tell you, I'm not crossing that bridge anymore for Garlic sauce chicken wings! The review I read was on point. It is a little lighter version than San Tung's in spiciness, garliclyness and amount of sauce, but still saucy and just as crunchy, juicy and delicious! It can officially fall into the Crack Chicken classification. I'd also like to add that it's cheaper than San Tung and 3 Star gives you more wings. And unlike San Tung, who gives you both drummets, and wings, 3 Star only gives you wings, which is my favorite. So it's a win win for me at least. I also ordered the Deluxe Mixed vegetable dish, steamed in a clear garlic like broth and it was surprisingly amazing too, it made me want to eat vegetables. Very fresh, cooked to perfection and the sauce was subtle, giving the veggies just enough flavor. Service was excellent and the young waitress we had was very attentive and friendly. Our water was always being refilled. The restaurant was very clean and spacious with lots of natural light. And the price was right! 3 Star should change their name to 5 Star. I will be back soon and will be ordering both dishes for our company picnic. read more

This is my comfort Chinese food when I can't get to the city. The two ladies that are normally there are very sweet, very efficient with their service. As someone who grew up eating Cantonese dishes, it's nice that this place has my comfort food items, like Jook (rice porridge.) There are a lot of food items that cater more toward the Western palate and some of those are good too. They do the Garlic Sauce chicken wings very well. I even tried to do that with Shrimp too. There is an extra charge, but totally worth it. The breading was crispy and held up to the sauce that it was tossed in. I've had the dried fried string beans and those are good too. I've had the beef stew with egg noodle soup. The beef was on point. The noodles were just a touch too soft and the soup lacked flavor. Might have just been that day. I've had the duck noodle soup on a separate day and the duck had good flavor; it was a bit on the leaner side. The soup and noodles were Perfect. I wanted some red vinegar, but alas, they didn't have it. The first time I went there, I tried the longganisa. The sausages were good, but the garlic rice was a bit disappointing. They over cooked the egg too. So I haven't tried any other Pinoy dishes since then. Overall, I like going there for my comfort foods. They'll even occasionally give me some sesame balls with red bean (Jeen duy) as a dessert. read more

We decided to stop by 3 Star Restaurant to try their Filipino food around 11am. Service was ok but they should NOT sell Filipino breakfast. We ordered the Tocino, Inihay na baboy (bbq pork) and Bangus (milk fish). None were tasteful and did not taste like what they should be. The Inihaw na baboy didn't look grilled, Tocino was thinly cut and the bangus was bland. (Check out the pictures) We've had Chinese food here and it's good. They should stick with Chinese food. read more

Had not eaten at this location since it was the Pink Dawn restaurant a few years ago. That place was kind of ran down and the food not exceptional Upon recommendation of a friend we came to try the chicken wings. They were outrageously good. We also had the stir fried bbq beef which was off the hook. Unlike most Chinese soup and rice are not free sides. We ordered the corn and chicken soup which came in a large family style bowl and was also great. I would like to try the Philippine items on the menu but won't try without an experienced guide to lead me . Any way this place has made my local rotation of Asian places to eat!! read more

I came here once with my friends, they introduced me to this place. The garlic chicken wings is a must! They don't do dine in anymore, just togos. Service is good, always friendly and quick! I usually order the garlic chicken wings, honey walnut shrimp, beef chow fun, and the sesame balls. Always good, very consistent! :) read more

Review is for the wor won ton soup. The soup is good and you get a nice amount of won tons, shrimp and chicken. Lots of vegetables as well. The broth is flavorful, so I don't usually add soy sauce. The portions are large and we usually have enough for two servings. We always get it to go, so can't speak to the atmosphere. During Covid, dine in was stopped, but it appears things have opened back up as of this review in 2023. read more

My sister was excited to take me to this place. We ordered the wings, garlic sauced, black bean sauce fish, eggplant and tofu, and the duck rice plate. We specifically asked if the fish was breaded. They said no. Everything that we ordered was breaded! Damn. The chicken and eggplant tasted exactly the same. We were fine with the fish being breaded, only because at least the sauce was different, however, we were not okay with the duck being extremely hard and inedible. We hardly touched it and tried to get it off the bill. The one waitress said she would have to ask the owner, who, she claimed, wasn't present. We insisted that we were not paying for something we couldn't eat. Another waitress, who was nicer, said they would try to contact the owner. It's a game, people. The owner was another woman behind the counter. Jesus, the duck was only $13.95 and they were giving us a hard time. Finally, my sister talked to another woman who wasn't the owner, even if she was, so it seems everyone is passing the buck here. She first offered half off the duck. Then after a little back and forth, she relented. She tried to say that everyone loves their duck and they only had a little bit left in the back. Well, we were not pleased with it, so clearly that didn't matter to them. This arguing about it was rude and ridiculous. We will never be back! They make money hand over fist there and they don't even care that people aren't happy with the food. We didn't take anything home. We left a lot of the same taste and breaded dishes on the table. read more

A family favorite and a hidden gem! It's located in a small plaza right next to a busy intersection. Right now, they only offer take out but service is very quick. After calling in your order, it's usually ready within the next 10-15 minutes. They also cut the corners from your to-go containers to ensure your food stays crispy and fresh. I can't say anything about the Filipino food they serve here because I've never tried it. In all honesty though, I would come by solely for the Chinese food. After trying out a lot of things from their menu, here are the favorites that my family and I always go back to: - Garlic sauce chicken wings - SO GOOD! The chicken is crispy and they do not skimp with the sauce. It has just the right amount of slightly sweet (like honey) and spicy to give a very slight kick. You honestly can't eat just one. It's super addicting! - Sweet and sour fish fillet - basically like your average sweet and sour chicken, but made with fish fillets. The fish pieces are big, which I appreciate, with lots of sweet and sour sauce and a variety of crunchy vegetables. The vegetables always taste fresh and complement the overall dish pretty well. - Salt and pepper pork chops - very good! Crunchy but still flavorful. It is not greasy and also has a slight spicy kick to it. It doesn't have too much breading, which I like. read more

Although they're a chain, they did not disappoint and are truly a great addition to the food scene in Vallejo, especially if you're craving dim sum and don't want to cross the bridge. Food was tasty, service was friendly and efficient, and the pricing was more than reasonable. 88 Bao Bao is located in the Gateway Plaza shopping center. There is free parking shared among the businesses with several slots very close to the front. The establishment itself is intimate, but has a few tables for people to dine in, if they choose. We placed a phone order and the time quoted for pickup was accurate. Our order consisted of: - a Beef Roll - Shrimp Dumplings - Shrimp & Pork Shaomai - Wonton in Chili Oil - Chocolate XLB As noted above, quantity and pricing was on point. Flavor and taste of everything we ordered was fantastic. The chocolate xiaolong baos were a great way to round out the meal. Don't skip out on them if you have a little bit of a sweet tooth! 88 Bao Bao made a strong first impression. My family and I will definitely be stopping by again.

I stopped in during the afternoon and noticed they offer a lunch special menu; went with the mapo tofu plate and added a lemon tea for an extra dollar. The sauce had a gentle kick, nothing overwhelming, but that signature Sichuan pepper numbing effect came through nicely. The vegetables added a great bit of texture against the soft tofu, and the pork flavor was well distributed throughout the dish. Their mushroom tofu is another go-to for me. The mushrooms are big and juicy, and the tofu has that perfect contrast, soft on the inside with a slightly firmer exterior. I also tried the French toast, which leans pretty sweet on its own. Adding syrup pushed it a bit over the top for my taste, so I'd probably omit that next time. Overall, it's a solid spot, especially since it's in the same shopping center as 99 Ranch.

I've heard of Yi Ji Chang Fen but only tried it today. I've eaten so much dim sum in my lifetime, so my standard for dim sum may be higher. We came around 5PM on a Saturday and there wasn't anyone really there. It could be because dim sum feels more like a morning or lunch thing, or it could just be because we were there for a very early dinner. Between our party, we shared: - Marinated Chicken and Mushroom Rice Roll - Stuffed Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf - Steamed Chicken Feet w/ Black Bean Sauce - Black Gold Egg Custard Buns - Chicken Feet with Herbs - Dry Style Beef Chow Fun And one Honey Lemon Tea for me. The honey lemon tea was a comfort for the cold day. Maybe a bit too much honey, but still good for the throat during the dry season. The chow fun came first and surprisingly it was not bad. There was a bit of 'wok hey' there and it stands out as one of the better dishes we had. As for the rice roll - I wanted to try something less conventional and I've never seen chicken in rice rolls, so I thought it would be interesting to try. It was quite disappointing though. Their rice roll was bigger than normal in width so with rice rolls being a struggle to pick up already, the bigger size made it an even bigger struggle. Everything just slipped out of the rice roll and it wasn't evenly wrapped. There were some bunched up layers on the edges. I think the chicken just didn't pair that well either and it was lacking in ingredients. Maybe the more conventional rice rolls would be better. For the two types of chicken feet, I normally like the one in herbal soup. If made well, the chicken feet has a nice flavor to it. For Yi Fen's herbal chicken feet, their portion was pretty good, but flavor was less prominent. I enjoyed the chicken feet in black bean sauce more because the flavor was better. Lastly, for the stuffed sticky rice and black gold egg custard buns, I suspect that these are not made in-house, but rather store-bought. The sticky rice lacked ingredients and the rice was a little harder than if made fresh. And the perfectly shaped black buns with a golden brush stroke on top (which I've seen all over the internet) seemed too elevated-looking compared to everything else. I'm not the biggest fan of molten lava buns, but they came out nicely. I didn't have any, but the molten lava custard was pretty runny. All in all, an okay experience. Service was a bit lacking. I don't recommend the dim sum dishes, but if I happen to want congee, I may give this place another go. Apart from the dim sum and rice rolls, the noodles I glimpsed from other customers looked not bad. I wonder if other locations are better.

I can confidently say it's a hidden gem in Solano County! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm, friendly atmosphere that instantly made me feel welcome. The staff truly go above and beyond; they remembered me from my previous visit and made me feel like part of the family. Now, let's talk about the food! I ordered the chicken garlic sauce, wings, the Ladisa scrambled egg, beef, and fried rice, and each dish was absolutely amazing. The flavors were vibrant and authentic, showcasing the skill and passion behind the kitchen. The chicken garlic sauce was perfectly seasoned, the wings were crispy and delicious, and the scrambled eggs were a delightful twist that I hadn't expected. The cleanliness of the restaurant is another highlight; it's clear that they take great pride in their establishment. The ambiance is inviting and comfortable, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. Overall, I highly recommend 3 Star Restaurant to anyone looking for exceptional Chinese cuisine.

"3 Star" in Vallejo is a solid spot for a great meal, whether you're there for lunch or just craving some comfort food. The food is consistently good, and the service is equally commendable. The garlic sauce chicken wings are a standout--they seriously rival the famous wings at San Tung in San Francisco, which is saying a lot! One of the highlights for me and my fiancé is the congee, which is always comforting and delicious. This place does get busy on weekends, especially with a lot of Filipino families stopping by after church, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. But trust me, it's worth it. Another thing to note is their chili oil--it's incredible and seems to be made in-house. Adds the perfect kick to any dish. The workers here are friendly, and the service is always on point. This Chinese restaurant has definitely become our go-to lunch spot, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone in the area! They also serve Filipino dishes. read more

Don't let the name fool you, 3 Star Restaurant is easily a 5-star experience. The garlic wings are hands down the best wings I've ever had. Seriously, do not skip them. The vibe is super unique too! They had Legos everywhere, but not just any Legos... they were Monkey Kid Legos, which made the whole place feel even cooler and more unique. What really stood out was the service. I'm pretty sure it was the owner who packaged my food, and she was beyond kind. She even gave my fiancé and me free sodas because of a bit of a wait, which we really appreciated. Honestly, I don't even blame them for the wait, the food is that good. 100% worth it. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Worst experience I have ever had eating out. My girlfriend and I ordered a few items on the menu one of which had shrimp. I am allergic to shrimp so we ordered it without it... the server brought us our food and the dish we ordered w/o shrimp tasted like shrimp... we asked if we could swap it for something else but not only would he not swap it, he argued with us for a good 10 minutes, made us take the food and then told us it wasn't his problem... from my perspective if you work in the food industry you should at least be accommodating. This restaurant shouldn't be called 3 Star... it should be called "Eat here if want to get yelled at by your server" read more

Food is always good and follow the standards. The chicken congee is good and I particularly enjoy it when not feeling well. It's a childhood comfort food for me.
