    Orange chicken over noodles with burnt chilies!

    Unacceptable quality of fake Chinese food. No flavor, price is ridiculous. I asked for extra hot not cooked for extra long. Ruined my expectations of Chinese food in Madera.

    A roach well marinated

    Think twice about going here! Was eating beef and broccoli when I found a roach! called to tell them about it and the lady was very rude saying that we didn't order from there. Then said to bring it back for my money back. Not going to fix the fact that they have roaches...

    Orange chicken with pan fried noodles

    Haven't been here in awhile so have them a shot. Called and placed my order of chow mein and orange chicken. Went to pick up order and paid about $32 for both meals. Order was ready when I got there, did notice that dining room looked close. Food tasted great no complaints. Orange chicken sure was delicious. Had orange peels and dried chili which amped up the flavor. Would definitely recommend.

    This is all the "side of rice" that came with our food. Who has this much white rice?
    Johnna J.

    Just did a pick up order, rather pricey 7 items to go $102.46, better be good! Review to follow... Review: First off there should be no way u order 7 items and u get 3 items worth of food! I added pics of 4 items and they were just edible. We order Chinese food all of the time from or favs and typically we have leftovers for the next day. Well we just made dinner for one day. If I wouldn't loose my cool they would get this shit back. But, lesson learned never again will they get a copper penny of mine. We ordered sesame chicken, lemon chicken, shrimp fried rice, chicken chow mein, mongolian beef, sweet n sour pork, and finally shrimp with lobster sauce (which was soup wasn't supposed 2b) horrible. We have so much side rice I can make a whole dinner of a rice dish. No, no, nope can definitely miss this place. Imagine my surprise when I get this lil bit o food for the price & not only nasty but "luke warm", live just around the corner and it's almost cold. I'm cool going back to Pittsburg for our food. So far only Fresno have good food and it's from the large restaurants. Sorry, just cannot patronize locally I see......if I could give a zero I would have. Second experience here with horrible food. Learned my lesson Madera, I just cannot buy my restaurant food here. I love patronizing locally but I just don't give my $'s away, local or not!!

    Roach!!!!

    If I could give a 0 stars I would. I went for the first and last time. I would always smell their food when shopping at Food 4 Less so I was really excited to try it as it smelled amazing. I ordered sweet and sour chicken and a side of chicken chow mein, orange chicken with chicken chow mein and a hot and sour tofu soup. The tofu soup came with chicken and my fiance completely hated it. When I was about to serve a plate of orange chicken and chicken chow mein I found a dead roach . I will never be eating there again!!

    One of the best authentic Chinese food in madera. Staff is typically rushed from all the business. It would be nice if they had additional staff.

    Food: I'm from San Jose, so my pho standards are emotionally…read morehigh. After moving out here, I finally gave this Milpitas spot a shot--and wow... this pho smacked me right back to childhood. I ordered my usual pho tai, large bowl, plus extra noodles because I believe in abundance. The noodles were fresh fresh--I can tell because when I spread them apart, they don't clump together like they've been napping in the pot all day. These noodles were awake, alert, and being stirred. Respect. The broth? Dangerous. Comforting. Spiritual. I finished the entire bowl like I was personally challenged by the chef. Cold weather + this broth = therapy. Service: I called ahead because I'm polite and didn't want to be that person showing up an hour before closing. They were super kind and said it was totally fine. You order and pay up front, which I loved--sat down and 10 minutes later my pho showed up like it knew I was hungry. Pro tip: speak up when ordering drinks--they forgot my soda, but honestly... the pho was so good I forgot I even wanted one. Ambiance: Plenty of seating, nicely spaced, and the place is CLEAN clean. The second someone leaves, the table is wiped down like it owes them money. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and this place is clearly blessed. Final Thoughts: I do wish they stayed open past 9, but that's my only complaint. Honestly, I'm kind of glad it's not as packed as it should be--more room for me to sit, sip, and slurp in peace. Chef, if you're reading this: you understood the assignment. I'll definitely be back.

    Wanted to give this place a shot because it's close to my new work place and really enjoy it!…read more It's attached to the Tea Shop, which you have to walk through first to get to the restaurant. You'll then have to wait to be seated at the register. I think this set-up is kind of awkward but hey, at least they have cute sidewalk seating. There are plenty of tables and long benches to sit at and the restaurant itself feels clean and well-lit! The staff are super helpful also. Tried the House Special Beef Pho and it was pretty tasty! You do have the option to order your dish with regular thin noodles, flat noodles, or egg noodles. The broth is basil-y and the flavor has great depth. They have a self-serve station for condiments where you can grab some chili oil, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and lime. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that I don't feel too bloated after eating here (compared to other pho restaurants). Been enjoying this restaurant and eating here at least once a week!

    It's been a minute since I've been back here... I heard they remodeled? But idk what changed lmao I…read moreguess it's been that long since my last visit (it hasn't been a full year yet, fyi). My memory is shot. I don't want to be handing out 5 stars so easily but I think they deserve it. The restaurant is very clean, and I love the little Asian lanterns they have, all different, above each table. Plenty of seating. When we got there (a little after 5), there was only one other table occupied... by the time we left (6:30), every table was nearly taken. Our waitress, as well as the other on the floor, were both very welcoming and friendly. They handled the service remarkably as a team. The fact that they were a packed house and still were very attentive with us, checking how we're doing, checking on our water refills... these are the little things I appreciate most (and, of course, good food). I got the Pho with the Fatty Brisket, my friend got just the Steak Pho. They have a bar against the wall with all garnishes you may need to grab what you'd like. This is pretty smart... It saves them from waste. Instead of giving people items they may not use-- they would just grab what they'd like themselves. My friend grabbed her goodies, I prefer mine as is. To me, if your broth is good and doesn't require me to flavor it... I'll eat it just like that (unless I feel like adding spice). I've only ever been to a few other Pho places where I had to season up the broth myself...definite no no for them. All my friends who have gone out to eat Pho with me know I eat it just how I get it. Pho from my Mama is a different story though... I put the works (not because it's not flavorful) but, it's just different. Moving on... They also have a Teazona in their establishment. I've tried a few different drinks in the past but came to regularly deciding on the Tiramisu Milk Tea (no flan for me, light boba). Make sure to shake it well. You can also let them know your preference on the level of sweetness. We both got this tonight and it nearly tipped me over on the full scale. Couldn't finish it. Everything was really good though. Pho was the perfect choice for this weird, gloomy weather we've been having. The price is a bit up there but that seems to be the norm everywhere nowadays. But-- for the portion, the quality, and the service? Worth it.

    Stopped here on our way to visit a loved one and tried a variety of items. We ordered chilaquiles,…read moretwo kids meals (mac and cheese, and a corn dog with fries), and pigs in a blanket breakfast. The chilaquiles weren't spicy more like chips with salsa and ended up being pretty bland with light salsa. However, the country potatoes were really good and definitely a highlight. The pigs in a blanket were also tasty, and the hashbrowns were perfectly browned. The kids enjoyed their meals, although the corn dog was a little overcooked on the outside and slightly undercooked on the inside. Service was great, our waitress was attentive and kind throughout our visit. The only other downside was the coffee, which tasted a bit watered down or just not very strong. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back to try different items.
