    Shrimp noodles.
    Geane L.

    Delicious choices. Beef & chicken Sisig with Edd- marvelous. Sherryl has the shrimp noodles. Wonderful lunch spot. Many other items to try.

    Veggie Rolls
    Chloe' A.

    This is the kind of place you walk by and wonder if it's worth giving a shot and I can confidently say it absolutely is. The service was excellent, even though I ordered online, and the food came out fresh and hot. The veggie rolls were a bit mild in flavor, but I still enjoyed how crispy they were. The veggie noodles were great and packed with plenty of cut vegetables. Prices are very reasonable for the area. Highly recommend stopping by for drinks by the water if you get the chance, definitely worth going inside.

    Absolutely love this local gem. The family that runs it is incredibly kind and genuinely welcoming--you can feel the care they put into both the food and the experience the moment you walk in. They have such great energy and really make you feel at home. The food delivers all the bold, polished flavors of a high-end hibachi meal, but with an added layer of warmth and comfort that keeps you coming back. It's the perfect balance of elevated quality and neighborhood charm.

    I now work at Mare Island and this was the first closest thing we found. It's about 3 miles from my work so it's a good spot and it's right in the water. This is a Japanese restaurant that serves a few Filipino food items. Of course that's what me and my co-workers ordered. We got the Tapsilog, Tosilog, and Bangalore. These are famous staple Filipino breakfast: it always includes garlic fried rice, meat protein and eggs. I was surprised and happy at the same time that they served Filipino food here. The serving is pretty big and it tasted delicious. The lady that served us was very nice. The ambiance is beautiful obviously m. It's overlooking the water and boats passing by. The price is not too bad. I spent less than $15 for my meal. Note: Great parking lot.

    Clam chowder
    K A.

    Service was great and the ambience was nice. They put the 49ers game on, which we really appreciated, and they had two screens showing the game. The bartender was very attentive and courteous throughout our visit. We ordered the garlic noodles with shrimp, Bob's fried rice, potstickers, clam chowder in a bread bowl, and the chicken teriyaki wings. The garlic noodles with shrimp were really flavorful, and the fried rice was good as well. The potstickers were perfectly crispy and came with a ginger dipping sauce that was amazing. The clam chowder in the bread bowl was also very good and comforting. They only had two wing flavors available--plain or teriyaki. We usually like spicier wings and prefer them extra saucy, but the teriyaki wings were really good. They were nice and crunchy, crispy, and had just the right amount of sauce, not too much, but still flavorful, even for someone who loves saucy wings. The sunset view was beautiful. The place is small and probably fits about 20 people, but it wasn't packed when we went. I enjoyed my Hennessy, and honestly, everything on the menu was good and tasteful. Definitely looking forward to coming back again.

    If I could give this a 3.5 I would, but 1/2s aren't possible so I rounded up. I've been wanting to visit this place since I walked by it a few months ago. Location is top. I mean.... Hibachi with a waterfront view?! The view gets 5, the ambiance gets 4.5 (super cute). The menu is super limited, but pricing is decent and the food is good.

    Yumm once again had a great dinner over looking the water. My portion size was more than usual and I appreciate it (: service was great... we were in a rush to the opera and the waitress was very understanding.

    This is a wonderful place if you ever just want to hang out and watch the sunset. Everyone that works here is like family and if you've been here once they will always say hi to you when you come in. When it comes to the food it is amazing. I like any type of seafood and I love the garlic butter here. To top it off with a full bar or a nice glass of wine. They also have happy hour from 3:00 to 6:00 Monday through Friday,so don't miss it. Happy hour is drinks and food. Whether you like to sit inside or outside it doesn't matter I guess it just depends on the weather. Don't forget, karaoke is on Thursday nights at 5:30 to 8:30. Always lots of fun.

    A hidden gem on Vallejo's waterfront. Great, attentive service from the moment we walked in until we left. Nice waterfront view and delicious food. While the place is small, there is plenty of outdoor seating available. The chicken potstickers and salmon hibachi plates were very flavorful. The lemon drops were good as well. I would definitely come back to try other options.

    Food was under portion and good customer service was not met. Came for a birthday lunch and we all felt very uncomfortable. Never again
    Itzel G.

    Very poor customer service felt like we're being rushed to place our order , took long to get here 45mins and food was very under portion .

    Sad bento box.  New york steak (6 oz)
    Jon L.

    First/last time at this place. Looked promising from the outside. Ordered food and drinks at the bar. Outdoor seating on the dock is pleasant-ish. When the boats and ferry go by the thing really gets moving. Ordered a chicken (grilled?) hibachi bento box w plain rice. And an order of fish and chips a beer and a Mai tai. Drinks fine. After 15 min or so outside the server comes to say they're out of fish and chips. Substituted a "steak" bento box as it's the same price $20 vs $19.99. I'm going to assume that this place is still in business for the bar and the view of the lovely San Pablo bay. $60 for two meager bentos and a beer and cocktail. Nah. Judging by the bentos I'm going assume the fish and chips are either the best thing (sold out) or about as appetizing as the sad bento.

    Sherprina L.

    We stumbled upon this hidden gem, had a few drinks and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset on the water overseeing the beautiful San Pablo Bay!

    We were in the area and found this hidden gem. It's a little restaurant on the water. As soon as we walked in we were acknowledged. The tables sit right on the glass and you're seeing the water. There is a back section you walk on a little bridge and there's an outdoor seating area. The waiter took our order. The prices were okay. We got our food fast. It was extremely relaxing eating on the water. The food was good it was okay. The view has been by best by far. Overall good experience.

As a parent, I was shocked and upset. I immediately brought the situation to the owner's attention, expecting him to address the behavior or at least show some concern. Instead, he laughed and sarcastically asked if he should call the police. There was no apology, no attempt to handle the situation professionally, and no concern for the fact that a customer had just verbally attacked a baby. What made the situation even more disturbing was that another couple nearby overheard everything and complained to the server, questioning why that man was still being allowed to remain and receive service after speaking to a child that way. Even other customers recognized how inappropriate the behavior was. I understand that not everyone enjoys being around children, but no parent should be treated this way, and no business owner should laugh off behavior like this. A restaurant's response to unacceptable conduct says a lot about its values, and this experience made it clear that customer respect is not a priority here. Because of how this situation was handled, I will never return and cannot recommend supporting this business

The dining area is pretty small, so it seems better suited for smaller groups. Every time I come here it's the same guy is working at the front. He's always welcoming, greets you with a smile, and just has a really good attitude. Great customer service every time! For this visit, we ordered the Soy Garlic Wings, Magic Sprinkle Shrimp, Chicken Fried Rice, and fried tempura. Everything was GOOD! The Soy Garlic Wings are some nice, beefy wings! The soy garlic flavor is wonderful, and I love how the sauce coats the chicken perfectly without being too much. This was my first time trying the Magic Sprinkle chicken wings and I really enjoyed it. The seasoning has a little sweetness to it, which I wasn't expecting, but I didn't have a problem with it at all. The shrimp were also amazing I especially liked that the fried rice came with an egg, kimchi, and some glass noodles on the side. That was a nice touch and made the meal feel like you were getting a little bit of everything. Overall, this place is wonderful. If you ever have a taste for wings, shrimp, and fried rice, this place definitely hits the spot. Whether you're grabbing takeout or eating inside, it's worth checking out!

The generous portion was loaded with fresh bok choy, perfectly cooked egg, green onions, and large wontons, creating a delicious fusion of classic wonton soup and ramen with a Tonkotsu broth. I also appreciated the oversized ladle-style soup spoon, which made it easy to enjoy every sip of that incredible broth and every bite of the fresh ingredients. The lumpia was crispy and good, but fairly standard. My only disappointment was the packaged sweet and sour sauce. A house-made dipping sauce would have paired much better with the quality of the food. The restaurant itself was very clean, but I'd recommend moving the bussing cart with used bowls, plates, and trash to the back of the kitchen. It's a small detail, but keeping it out of guests' view would make the dining room feel even more polished and inviting. Overall, Ramon 101 was good. Great broth, fresh ingredients, generous portions, make this a place I'll definitely return to. It's easy to see why the locals keep coming back.

I was really expecting a savory and garlicky soy sauce flavor that would be balanced with a hint of sweetness. So the mustard flavor really took me by surprise and I wasn't a fan - If I had known they used mustard in that glaze, I wouldn't have ordered it. Service was nice and quite fast. I liked how after we placed our order, they pre-warned us that it might take them 20 mins to prepare the wings, although it turned out to be faster than 20 mins, which we appreciated :) The restaurant looks small from the outside but is so spacious on the inside. the restaurant was clean and organized.
