    General Chicken
    Cameron M.

    Amazing value, generous portions, great presentation, served hot. Staff make a mistake and they fixed it prompted and let us keep the other dish.

    I ordered by phone, I asked the lady that answered I want the hibachi steak and chicken combo. She said they don't have that, I told her its on the menu and she responded by saying "OK OH MY GOD" with a attitude tone I told her if its ok I would like to order that. I arrived to the location and waited for my meal. I got back to my hotel open my bag and only had a couple peices of beef, not New York as stated and they did not add shrimp. I called the location to let them know that they left out the chicken and to tell them the beef pieces is not new York and 3 of the 5 prices is all fat. She told me that I had an attitude and said good bye. The service is bad, everyone looked irritated, the place looks very dirty and the back door was wide open next to the dumpster, very unsanitary. Take your else where folks were they'll appreciate your business and keep the food cooking area clean.

    On our way to Reno we stopped to meet friends at a place they were raving about. We were a table of 5, so the rating reflects the overall group - 4 of us very happy, with 1 not at all (and watching the experience, we didn't blame him and we all remain confused). Everything started off normal, we got seated with menus and gave our drink order. They do have 3 very different menus- things like breakfast and burgers, Chinese, and sushi. Avalanche sushi was something he had before, and it looked amazing. Never seen anything like it! Another friend had the club sandwich with tater tots and was happy with that (and several others taste tested the tots and approved of them as well). Two of us shared a Chinese lunch combo of the sesame chicken, egg roll, wontons, bbq rice and egg flower soup. It was kind of them to let us share (I don't eat much and we were traveling), and she even split the soup for us. The sesame chicken was amazing! 10 steps above the standard generic Chinese style chicken. Bbq rice was full of veggies and eggs, probably the best we've ever had. The soup had a tiny bit of a difference than most- it's like they added a splash of the hot and sour soup to it. Not over powering, just a little different and very good! Now, last and the most definitely least of this visit. The "lobster roll". Again, all of this started off normal. At our table we all understand the difference between a sushi roll, deep fried sushi roll, nigeri, etc. What was about to happen, is hopefully a once in a life time situation for anyone. While everyone else had already been served and were eating, the status of his "roll" was asked about. The waitress, who took over for ours who had left, went and asked, she came back and said it would be a few more minutes..... "needs to bake". All 5 of us were perplexed. The waitress asked don't you want your scallops cooked? "What scallops?" We grabbed a menu and were trying to figure out where this took an awful wrong turn. Once the "roll" was served, the confusion intensified. It was served in a baking dish. The waitress confirmed that was the lobster roll. The talk around the table turned from how much the rest of us were enjoying ours, to WTF is that? The roll had been cut up, laid down to create a solid base, and then topped with heaps of crab mix, scallops and unagi sauce. This totally does not match up to the menu. His description of it is that it was a "hot mess." He picked at it and gave it a valiant try, but at the end of this adventure, it was largely left behind. Nothing else at the table was left behind bc we all devoured ours. After we got the bill and verified it was the $21.95 lobster roll on the bill as well, we again questioned the waitress, referencing the contradictory menu and a "sushi roll" being a baked dish. No actual reasonable explanation was provided, and no attempt to remedy the situation was made. She was polite but just didn't have an answer or apparent desire to ascertain one. The bill was paid in full regardless, but only 4/5 of us left having actually had a meal. We will forever clarify whenever ordering sushi that we don't want it baked. Never in my life would i think I would need to specify that. The menu needs to be clear, bc it is definitely not.

    I came here last year shortly after it opened and we decided to do three dishes, we did American, Chinese, and Japanese all were delicious and the wait staff was very friendly. This summer, we have eaten here over six times and every time it has been amazing nothing here has been disappointing or close to it. We even came during a power outage and they still provided a limited menu. would definitely recommend to any party that has people wanting to eat different types of food.

    The sushi here is sooooo good! We always have it every time I come up to visit my sister and brother in law. It's a must. The Chinese food isn't bad either. Definitely will try more stuff

    One of these is the Golden Dragon...

    Love the variety of options. The sushi is my favorite - the roll sizes are incredible. And the food always comes out surprisingly fast. Service is very attentive every time.

    Stayed in Chester for a few days to see Lake Almanor. Drove past Bing's and decided to stop in. If your partner is indecisive, this is the place to go for sure. Their menu goes from American classics to sashimi . We were very impressed with the selction, and that was an understatement. We walked in and got seated immediately. Everyone was very friendly and the food came out quickly, hot and fresh. They stuck with the local aestetic inside as well, which was a nice touch. Miso Soup: this was a little salty, but the flavor was SO GOOD!!! Jalapeno Poppers: Different from any kind of jalapeno popper we have had before. So delicious. Tempura Shrimp Bento Box: Somuch SHRIMP, deep fried veggies, rice, gyoza, and 4 pieces of california rolls . Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box: Definitly chicken thighs, suoer good teriyaki sauce and deepfried veggies were yummy too. We also got a selection of their sushi rolls. They were HUGE compared to what we get in our hometown. All of it was fresh and tasted delicious. 100% stop in if you are ever out this way. The portion sizes were HUGE and everything was amazing. Kudos to them holding down such a diverse menu and holding strong. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!

The restaurant seems to pride itself on being dog friendly, yet my friend's dog was never offered water or the treat they say they offer. The food is a two star at best. The fries were not crispy, and they were lukewarm as were the onion rings. I did eat them only because I was very hungry and the cheese burger was not good. It was unseasoned, overcooked, bun was stale, and the grilled onions included the outer tough onion layer. Normally I would say something, but if they couldn't even serve a burger on a fresh bun, what would have been the point? My husband who isn't picky and will eat most anything wouldn't eat it. As I don't like to waste food, I took it home and fed it to the chickens. Also, make sure there is toilet paper before using the ladies room. I had to use a paper towel. When I let a worker know, she barely acknowledged me and never said a word, much less an apology. As a visitor to Chester with family there, I will not be agreeable to frequenting this restaurant in the future. Response to owner comments: Your postings next to the outside tables state that water and treats are available for patron's dogs. You should train your servers to offer those when they see a guest has a dog. How was your non English speaking employee able to understand and relay my concern about the toilet paper if she doesn't speak English? Why would I reorder a burger that I know is unseasoned, on a stale bun, etc. knowing I would receive another that is just the same? A line cook can't be retrained in a few minutes. I got what you gave me, it wasn't good. Now is your chance to improve your food for future guests. Quit making excuses, (nothing irritates me more), and make improvements.

Plan on around 7:30, the crowds diminish, and the sunset is beautiful." He also said reservations are fine but not necessary. Cool, see you this evening. Returning to the B&B, I decided to research the restaurant. I found the website, and searched the menu and reservations. The website said closed, and no reservations available.I thought it odd that the information was in conflict, so I called. I received confirmation that the were open, and made a reservation. After arriving that evening, we were told we needed to wait awhile because the server was busy. We waited patiently for about twenty minutes to be seated. After finally being seated, we waited again to order. The place was very busy for a Wednesday evening. After all the waiting, I started to wonder it this would be worth it. Finally, the meals came. The food was very good as was the service. After the meal, the waitress coherced us into the cheesecake for desert. She said - if we liked - she could serve us on the patio. The sun was setting, and the weather was beautiful, so we took her up on it. What began as a question marked evolved into an exclamation mark. The cheesecake with blueberry compote was Devine. Was it worth the wait? Yes, for the cheesecake alone. If you are visiting the Mt. Lassen area, this place is a must. Barring the inaccuracies of the website, the experience was wonderful. I could rate the restaurant a four, for the error, but they get a six for the cheesecake, so five it is.

The French onion soup was a little salty, but my husband thought it was just right. The filet mignon was good, but a little lacking in flavor. The mushrooms and mashed potatoes were delicious.

We met the owner who baked everything by hand in the back of the shop. We could see her prepping more pastries. She was so sweet, just a lovely person. You can't help but want to support her business. And then the pastries themselves were just so good, I would gain so much weight if I lived up there year around because I would eat there everyday! My dad and I shared the Ham and smoked Gouda calzone and oh my goodness was it good! Flakey crust, perfect fillings. It was delectable. I had the chocolate and banana turnover and absolutely loved it. Again, great pastry crust? And the proportions of banana to chocolate were perfect! I also loved my apricot and cheese danish. The flavors really complemented each other, and again - perfect crust! My dad tried the berry and cheese danish and the chocolate croissant and he loved them both! I don't think you could go wrong with any of the pastries here. We took our order to go and ate them the next morning and they were still delicious. It's an inviting shop, with limited seating inside along with plenty of seating outside, so it would be a great place to have a bite to eat as well!

At that point, hunger was making major life decisions for us, and this place definitely hit the spot. We ordered the Cobb salad, a cheeseburger, and a milkshake. Everything tasted good. Nothing dramatically life-changing or worthy of a dramatic food documentary narration, but solid, satisfying comfort food when you really need it. The milkshake was actually very good, and honestly part of the charm was watching the staff figure out the wonderfully ancient milkshake machine. It felt a little like witnessing a friendly negotiation between modern humans and a relic from a 1957 diner. Somehow, though, the machine delivered. It also seemed like there may have been new owners or at least people still settling into things. Communication was occasionally a little challenging, but everyone was trying, and the whole interaction ended up feeling more charming and humorous than frustrating. Overall, this is a simple roadside café that serves comforting food, good milkshakes, and a little small-town personality along the way. Sometimes, after hours on mountain roads, that is exactly what you need.
