Second time doing take out here, it's been years since I have been here and thought of them today. They are authentic and the only restaurant in Sonoma County that does the Hong Kong style BBQ (meats you would find in SF Chinatown, Clement St, Ocean Ave, etc). Given that, prices are expensive $16.99 for a plate but it is a lot of meat & veggies, think of it has 3 entrees with rice. On their menu, check out their all day special rice plates. If you want their HK Style BBQ (it's no 7-13) but was told you can't mix Duck with Chicken. I ordered the Princess Chicken and Roast pork. Very good flavors and the ginger scallion oil dip was perfect for the princess chicken! This place also have Hot Pot to go which I haven't tried yet but also another first for Sonoma Country! COVID updates: Only take out and phone orders. New business hours are 11:30am-8pm and closed Tuesdays. read more

Love this place. Quality ingredients, dishes are authentic and not sweetened (except for dishes known for sweetness, like orange chicken), very tasty food. And the duck dishes are awesome! read more

I had heard good things about this place, and after 5 years of living in town, I've finally tried it. My one and only question after dining here is: Why? Why was I the only customer here? I arrived at 8pm on a Monday and it was completely empty. I almost didnt go in, but I was 1) too lazy to cook at home and 2) cutting it too close to drive anywhere else since everything closes so early here. After reading some other reviews, it seems they were only doing take out until recently. I'm not trying to have this place shut down on me for lack of customers when I've only just discovered it, so here's the unofficial announcement: NOW OPEN FOR DINE-IN!! The food was delicious. It was super fresh and the flavors were solid. Here are my ratings for what I got: Swirl shrimp appetizer: 9.5/10. I assumed it was gonna be a shrimp patty but it was not. It was 2 pieces of actual shrimp battered and fried on each skewer. Batter was light and super crunchy, shrimp were soft and plump. This appetizer hit the bullseye for my textural craving. I was not a fan of the sauce, but I don't really do sweet sauce in general. It was a pretty standard egg roll type sweet sauce. I just used the chili oil, but I would probably ask for spicy mustard next time I order this. Garlic pork ribs in clay pot: 10/10. Man this dish was so awesome. It smelled amazing, the pork was falling off the bone, the sauce blended so well with the meat. Visually I thought the sauce was going to be too oily but it was super light and I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing so I can try the other dishes. Salted fish fried rice: 7.5/10. To be fair, it's not on the menu, but they were accommodating enough to make this for me. It was a bit too salty and the rice was a bit too dry. But with that said, I would probably try and order it again if they let me before I made a final decision on the dish. It was definitely close to closing time so maybe I'll try going at an earlier hour to see if it makes a difference. Mapo tofu: 9/10. Very flavorful and spicy! I had 2 bites and my entire body started to sweat immediately. Definitely ask for mild spice if you can't handle heat. I hope this review brings in some customers because what a waste for people not to experience this amazing Cantonese style chinese food! The nice lady who took my order said they do hot pot as well, which was like music to my ears! I will definitely be back to try their hot pot menu next time!! read more

We found Fantasy Restaurant at the beginning of this year, when our 11 year old wanted to try Hot Pot. We have gone back many times since then, and every time is as good as the last. The staff are all very friendly and don't make you wait. The food is fresh and delicious. We always get the Hot Pot, but have also tried the Pot Stickers, which are very good. I always want to try something different when we go, but can't say no to the hot pot. My son has now asked if he can do his birthday party there, so all his friends can get in on the hot pot action. read more

Fantasy Restaurant - Homemade Spicy Hot Pot, Premium Tender Beef Slice, Cilantro, Cabbage, Corn, Instant Noodles & Rice Noodles - Cantonese Near Me - Petaluma, California

I love Fantasy, its delicious Cantonese style of cooking, being a native of S.F., growing up in Chinatown with that style. I love the roasted duck wonton noodles soup, the pork belly with crispy skin and the Westlake minced beef soup. Everything is delicious! Plus, snow pea sprouts. read more

The "goto" place for Chinese BBQ anything in the entire North Bay. We ordered our BBQ duck for Christmas Eve 2023, and it was juicy and meaty. read more

This used to be one of my favorites places to go as their food was good and menu was plentiful. I wanted to go for my birthday this year and looked up their menu to see if there were any changes. Boy are there! My old trifold menu is obsolete as they've eliminated most dishes and have insanely raised the prices on other dishes. Just over a year ago, their Honey BQQ pork was $10.99, which was already an increase from previously being $8.99. Now it's $18.99?! I can understand if a business isn't doing well which is why I'm not giving one star. If the business sold and this was what they chose to do, shame on the new owners. I have no desire to go back as all my favorites are gone and the prices are now too steep. read more

I went here with several friends and we ordered many dishes, all of which were good. I have to say, as someone who claims that they don't like pork, that I thought the salt and pepper pork was delicious. I thought the service was fine and prompt for a busy weekend lunch hour. I want to come back and try their hot pot, and also come back during weekday lunch to see how fast or slow the service is. The only thing I would suggest to the owners is to set up regular website going instead of Facebook to post their current menu. read more

A place that still has cooked ducks and pork parts hanging in the window. Haven't seen that since China town in SF. They offer many different dishes including clay pots which I've never tried before. I believe the family lives upstairs. Service was great. Heard about the place from a neighbor, she told me that she only goes there for Chinese food. read more

Probably the most authentic Chinese food in the North Bay! The first time I tried Fantasy, I came for hot pot. Although it was a lot of fun, my meal ended up being a bit pricey. The lunch special is more my jam. For $8 (!!!), you get a heaping plateful of food. I love that you can pick a variety of options. I opted for tofu with pork and beef and chow mein. My dining companion chose the pork and veggies, which looked delicious as well. It's a great value and a very filling lunch. Also, the roasted pork here is top notch! Tip: it's cheaper if you buy it and take it to go. While the ambiance and service are pretty good, the main attraction here is flavorful Chinese food. read more

Surprised that this type of Chinese restaurant is located in Petaluma, but I'm happy it is. I had to stop by and try some classic dishes. I got a whole duck, roast pork, and char siu to go. Everything was delicious. Duck was very moist, where places in SF can make dry. The roast pork had great flavor with excellent crispy skin. And the char siu had great flavor. These deli items just as good as you get in SF and saves me a trip into the city and toll. I'll try some of their other dishes next time! read more

Best service, always with a smile, and very attentive. Was there to celebrate a birthday with 6 of us. Everything we ordered was very fresh, hot, tasty and received in a timely manner! Love this place and will look forward to coming back! read more

The food is amazing. I brought my friend from Taiwan who wanted hotpot in the city. She said it was better than most places she's tried. I let her order in Chinese- everything she ordered was delicious. Very nice staff. Highly recommend! read more

Best city style Chinese food in the area. I recommend it to anyone who misses Chinatown in Oakland or Clement. Nothing touristy about it.

Way way way overpriced, experience is one Mongolian beef, white rice, and a hot sour soup and a beer while I waited, $100, just under 100 bucks. I would suggest going other places and saving your money. I suggest going right over the street and go to panda express you'll spend a quarter of the money in your belly will be just as full. They're not worth at all. They're not worth it. read more

Very authentic Chinese food with good service. The place was simple in decor. My nephew said it was like restaurants in China.

I love, love, love, Chinese food. I basically grew up on it, as we had it almost every Friday night. When our neighbor recommended Fantasy, we couldn't wait to get over and try it. Perhaps we ordered poorly or maybe it was an off day but we were underwhelmed. The honey tofu was crispy, sweet and right out of the wok hot it it could have used more than a few decorative sprigs of broccoli. The orange chicken and rice place was a disappointment with mushy sicken and no veggies. Service was friendly and fast. Maybe we'll rethink our choices and try again but probably not soon. read more

The best Chinese food in Petaluma. Hotpot is my favorite! Boss is so nice and friendly. Love here!

Great food and amazing service! Ambiance is great too. My husband and I love to take our girls there. Never disappoints!

Yummy food and friendly service! Grate place for Dinner and Im never let down. I love all the Veggie dish I can't find anywhere else in town. Everything is so good. read more

Good food. The hot pot was quite tasty though a little pricey. Probably better with a larger group. The ambiance was a bit stale but still one of the better Chinese restaurants I've tried in the area. read more

There was a roadside billboard but there wasn't one for the restaurant. Being first time customers we had to look look around for the place. Pleasantly surprised on entry as it was very clean, white table cloths, efficient service. Food was delicious, prices were unexpected for Braised Whole cod. $75 for one fish, it was crisp and and delicious. Just did not expect it to be that much. (It is a seasonal dish) The other meals we ordered were reasonably priced. The clay pot meal (beef & daikon stew) was scrumptious! Very nice food, anyone would enjoy the food here. read more

Excellent Hot Pot Broth is deeply flavored and so delicious. Spicy is my favorite, but be careful as it's no joke. I love spicy food and even medium spice pushes me to my limit. There are numerous choices to pair with the broth - mushrooms are a must-have - that are all very fresh. Seriously, the food is so fresh and delicious. The portions are generous as well, so don't order too much like I tend to do. You can always order a little more. Also, the roast duck is intensely decadent and completely worth the price. Half of a duck is good for 3 or even 4 people. Our bill recently for 3 people with drinks was $110 and we were overstuffed and completely satisfied. We got half of a duck, 3 pots of broth, and 1 order each of: beef, pork belly, shiitake, seafood mushroom, daikon, broccoli, and rice noodles. Well worth the price for delicious food. Even if the service was a little slow. read more

I feel Iike this place is really slept on. Mostly because I just had it for the first time tonight and it's been around for a while. Had the BBQ Pork, Ginger Scallion Lobster, Veggie Chow Mein, Orange Chicken, and Shrimp dumplings. Everything was amazing. My new favorite place for Chinese in Petaluma, and I've tried most of the Chinese restaurants in town already. Really really good. read more

Food is not good, very heavily sauced, fried, and really no veggies with any plates ordered . Even the chow mein tasted.old , reheated. Sorry to be negative, but its the second time ordering here and it's been consistently bad. Will stick to my favorite place in Ptown. Only veered off track because they were closed for the long weekend. read more

This restaurant is tucked away by a Petaluma convenience store. The atmosphere and decor fits this smaller restaurant nicely done with a busy take out business counter. We originally went for a simmering pot meal. It is only offered as dinner. So we ordered individual dishes. Presentation and freshness of ingredients are great though prices are on the higher side. Can't wait to try a a simmering pot dinner. read more

I went to Fantasy with a large group of friends. Two of my friends are chefs and they can't get enough of this place. When we walked in they saw two of their other friends who are also chefs which was definitely a good sign. We let the owner pick out our whole meal and it everything was delicious. It was more of a traditional Chinese style meal, nothing I have ever had. I think we had 11 dishes all of which were devoured. When the Chef came out after we ate we gave him a well deserved round of applause. This is a family owned restaurant, his wife also helps as a server and we're very delightful. read more

Best Cantonese restaurant north of Golden Gate. While there are lots of American Chinese restaurants that would sells Kung Pao chicken or walnut shrimps, Fantasy does their own roasted duck, crispy pork belly, or live lobster dish. I live up north of Santa Rosa so it's really helpful to have this authentic flavored 20 mins away, especially when I dont feel like driving down to SF. Born and grew up in Asia, I'd say the seasoning is on point. Some of these reviews think that fried rice or stir fried veggies supposed to be heavily seasoned, then they might want to try their usual American chinese spots. I go here every months and finally decide to write something cause this place deserves more traffic. It is runs by 3 people, the chef, the wife who works cashier and serves, and the grandmother prepping in the back. One thing I tried and didn't like was Siu Mai. Other than that, it has been amazing. Just see all these photos for yourself, my review is not based on average flavors in this area but what I ate and experienced everywhere. What I had this visit: Salt and pepper calamari ($18) Ginger and scallions live lobster ($52 it was a promotion price) Braised rock fish ($30) Vegetables delight ($18) read more

Don't let the odd location fool you! This place is fantastic! When I first walked in I noticed the Peking Duck hanging. There is a side area where you can pick up food togo. I can for the hotpot! I chose half chicken broth & half mild spiced broth. Mild was perfect because as it simmers and reduces a bit, the spice intensifies. You can choose the items you'd like in your pot. I highly recommend the beef, shrimp, potato, spinach, bokchoy, noodles, and items to make your sauce with: sesame oil, scallions, cilantro, hoisin, sambal chili sauce. You may be tempted to order a lot all at once. Remember you cAn always add/order more as you go. When adding to the pot - you add veg first, then meat, next seafood and last are the noodles. I can't wait to go back! read more

Im so sad to give a negative review. However, I only want Sonoma dining choices to get better. I feel a Chinese restaurant should be critiqued on their staples which are pot stickers, chow mien and fried rice all which were awful. All needed soy sauce and salt! We also had a sizzling plate which they are known for. It had absolutely no flavor. As we all know, it necessary to remove the muscles from the scallop which they did not. The real insult was charging $15. For 4 oz. Pour od Kunde Sav. Blanc.!! Côme on! read more

People on Facebook group Sonoma County Foodies have been highly recommending this place and they were right! The pork belly entree had two long strips of sliced meat with a perfectly crispy fat strip that my English mother called 'crackling', which is so hard to find in America. I was over the moon to find it. The meat was tasty too. Prawns with veg was mild as is standard since it wasn't a black bean sauce and had a good amount of fat shrimps. It paired well with the pork as that dish had no veg with it. Why ruin a good thing? Lol. The shiitake and veg was a standout, too. Big, fat, tender, fresh shiitake were amazing in a nice sauce. Even the egg rolls were notable. When was the last time you thought that about generic restaurant egg rolls?! The hot and sour soup was traditional and yummy. You can choose what size streamed rice you want. I got takeaway so can't comment on dining in, but just go. Try it. Prove me wrong. Enjoy. read more

Best grilled pork and duck in North Bay! They're dishes are great and their specials are mouth watering. We've even had their hot pot. You won't be disappointed! read more

Good food and fine service. Maybe a tad expensive, but the restaurant was clean and inviting inside.

Pretty good selection. Servers are good. Atmosphere is good as well. A little far for me but enjoyed the food.

Wow food was prepared fresh and on the spot. The food was authentic and tasted absolutely delicious. We ate the crab and shrimp fried rice, the sweet and sour spare ribs, the Peking duck, the Hai Nam chicken, the chicken and lobster soup and the cold braised beef. Will definitely be back! read more

Went for an early dinner on a Saturday evening. We were the only souls there until the time we left around 6:00pm. There were two take out orders during that time. Potstickers - Pictured and described as pan fried. Arrived deep fried. They weren't awful but not as expected. Dipping sauce was good. Hot and Sour Soup - Off taste, almost burnt flavor. Meh. Lemon Chicken - The most disappointing dish of all. Two of us ate it and couldn't find a single piece of chicken until I picked through in search of it. Mostly a pile of fried batter in lemon sauce. The few pieces of meat were tough and dry. Another Yelper describes a similar experience with General Tso. Hmmm . Mongolian Beef - Very good. Nice balance of meat to vegetables and just the right amount of spicy. Chicken Chow Mein - Probably the best dish overall. Good meat to noodle to vegetable ratio, slight smoky flavor. A winner. Steamed Pork Buns - I didn't eat them, but my dining mates said they were good. Service - Our waitress was friendly and attentive. That may be due to the lack of business, but very good nevertheless. Sadly, the meh dishes outnumbered the good. Glad we tried it, but not likely to return. read more

Stopped in the other night because I was hungry for dim sum. I ordered pork buns, har gow, siu mai, pork ribs in clay pot, house chow mein and bbq pork to go. 2 out 5 The dim sum was not worth the money and I think was actually store bought, it reminded me of the dim sum that I once bought frozen at a Chinese market. The pork buns had a decent flavor. Overall, don't bother 4 out of 5 The pork in clay pot was very good. 4 out of 5 The house chow mein was very flavorful. 3.5 out of 5. The bbq pork was a little dry but not bad. 3 out of 5 Service was not very friendly nor attentive. Next time I will get the food to go. Overall the main dishes are good and worth another try. read more

We have been wanting to try Fantasy for some time now, don't wait like us! Get over there and get some authentic Chinese food. Both our experiences were takeout but we look forward to trying their hot pot ASAP. Interior is really nice, don't let the exterior fool you. Staff is friendly and super attentive. I am not giving 5 stars yet due to the fact that our first time in we didn't choose quite right, their menu is huge and unique. I had the chicken udon, flavor was good and not overly salty which is hard to find when eating Chinese food. I would order again but request less oil, a bit too much for my taste. My son got the sweet and sour chicken, more authentic than he was used to so probably won't get again, not a lot of flavor. Husband got the Mongolian beef, he loved how spicy it was but also a bit too greasy, again, next time he will request less oil. Potstickers were ok, Vietnamese rolls were not our thing but they were good. Second take-out was a whole cut up duck. They sell a ton of them. What a delicious and easy dinner with enough for leftovers next day and duck fried rice. GET THE DUCK!! I served it in lettuce cups with the sauce it comes with, my god it was delicious. Had I know my son wasn't going to be home to enjoy it I would have only bought 1/2, it's a ton of food for two people!! Fantastic deal for an easy dinner. We are so lucky to have as many great restaurants in Petaluma! If you want authentic Chinese without going into the city give Fantasy a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Saw this Fantasy Restaurant on Yelp decided to try it. I miss Cantonese food and it's hard find true Chinese restaurants since living N of SR. When I went in there was only 1 group (1table) eating 12:45 pm. Lunch time. I order the combo: duck, crispy pork with steam rice. The duck was not bad. The flavor was off. The taste was not the same. The crispy pork was hard to bite and chew. Guest not to many orders for crispy pork. I'm just use to going to S.F. to getting my fix on Chinese food. Since growing up on true Chinese food and working in different Chinese restaurants when I was a teenager I'm pretty particular. I usually go order my duck, crispy pork and sometimes pig ears SF Sunset District. read more
