Teriyaki chicken and bbq beef combo
Sanilie F.

My family and I have been coming here for about two years now and it's sometimes a hit or miss. At times, they will skimp on the meat and pile a whole lot of cabbage and broccoli underneath the chicken or beef so that the plate looks more full and other times, they will give you your money's worth. So, with that being said, I will write this review based on today's experience. Order: ordered in the restaurant, the lady in front is always welcoming and nice. My order took about 15 minutes to be ready. Food: Food was well made and ingredients was fresh. I ordered a combo box with chicken teriyaki and bbq beef, order of macaroni and spam Musubi. The chicken/beef combo was very flavorful. The macaroni salad is one of my favorite things on the menu and is actually one of the reasons why I keep coming back. I always have to get a side order of the macaroni salad. The musubi is okay, they pack it with rice but the spam slices are very thin.... Not really my thing but my family likes it. Overall: I really want to give them a 4 star rating but because of my mixed experiences here and it being a hit or miss with portion sizes, I have to give them a 3 stars. Sidenote: I would recommend this spot to others.

On this week's episode of "I don't want to eat my own cooking for the next week", I arrived at Frannie Express for lunch (take-out, of course) Today, I ordered the BBQ mix plate ($11.89). The plate came with two scoops of rice, one scoop of macaroni salad, BBQ chicken, BBQ beef, and beef short rib. Nothing seemed egregious here. Notably, the macaroni salad did not taste like a deluge of mayonnaise, the bane of many a macaroni salad. First impressions would lead one to believe that Frannie's embodies prototypical neighborhood Hawaiian restaurant. Decor looks minimalist with about a decade's worth of light exposure and fading, much like any neighborhood Chinese restaurant. That impression would be absolutely correct. Frannie's offers cheap and filling meals with no frills or other strings attached. Truly, what you see is what you get.

Frannie Express sits on San Pablo Avenue. Its easy to drive past. And you probably should keep driving past. I have been here one time, and will not be back. The service was terrible. They were rude and unhelpful. The menu is confusing. I ordered four different menu items before getting one that they would let me purchase. There is a confusing system of combos and availability that I was unable to understand apparently. The food was ridiculously salty and greasy. It was one of those meals that you feel ill after and regret. I'm gonna pass on this place next time.

Great quality and prices. Love the teriyaki chicken. Their won ton soup is unbelievably filling and good. Completely shocked by it

Always a good idea to have Hawaiian food, not gunna lie. That said, had to go with the loco moco. I've had my share of loco mocos so this was a tough review. For starters there's something about a burger patty with an egg on top and closing it out with some Mac salad. This one was just ok, a bit salty tho...that's pretty much I can say ‍, i may try it again but will look around first. Eat well and aloha -ant

I go here pretty often and the customer service is always nice even and the food is always good and comes with good portions. 10/10 would recommend

Broccoli beef combo with Fried rice with no veggies

I love this place. Its the perfect place as my bf loves Hawaiian bbq and I love Chinese. Its delicious, fresh, and the flavor is always on point. Guarantee recommend.

How can you put a sticker on the door saying that you accept AMEX & Discover and you don't? You can't be THAT disrespectful to your customers when they're about to pay! And by the way, the food there is greasy and the best score I can give is 3 out of 10.

Just based on the customer service, the lady was really nice, and wanted to help. She was patient, when everyone was trying to figure out what they wanted. We took our food to go. As usual, I love to have Katsu chicken combo any Hawaiian barbecue place I go. (Mac & cheese & rice.) I would consider coming back here again.

Watch out for your food guys they leave here for you underneath your chicken
Mona M.

I called to resolve an issue do you and they were rude as hell! They insisted that they wore hair caps but I ordered food for delivery and as I was eating my food I looked down to take another bite and there was a piece of long black hair underneath a piece of chicken that I was about to eat. They told me they couldn't do anything about it mind you my hair is purple so it definitely could not be mine and I just took it out of the bag. They told me if I had a problem that I could write a review and post a picture so here it is I hope you guys do better with your deliveries.

The food we ate at 310 Eatery really hit the spot. It's an Asian fusion restaurant that has an…read moreextensive menu! Everything we ordered was flavorful and the ingredients were so fresh. The owner and staff members were so personable. They made sure we were taken cared of. You just don't get that level of customer service very often! It's a casual space with tons of seating. My absolute fav part of the meal was the dessert. WOW. The peach and strawberry cobbler was so fresh. You can even smell the butter before taking a bite. The vanilla ice cream brought everything together. A bit pricey, but definitely worth the splurge!

Beware of the up charges!…read more My boyfriend is vegan, so he asked for vegan options, and the server suggested the Hurry Curry swapped out with impossible meat and a pretzel bun instead of brioche. He also asked if he "wanted onion," as well as asked our friend the same, "would you like onion and cheese?" However, the server neglected to mention that every suggestion he made was an extra charge of $3-4. The burger that started out as $17 ended up costing $27 at the end! It was odd. The check was not itemized when it first came, and he had to ask specifically for an itemized receipt to explain the up charge. It's disappointing! The communication could definitely be better.

Yesterday, while browsing Facebook, I came across an invitation for two to attend a special preview…read moreat California Fish Grill's new Concord, CA location before its grand opening on Monday, July 13. I almost forgot that the invitation included two complimentary entrées, which made the experience even better! I ordered the Salmon & Swai Combo Grilled Plate with rice, choosing both the Garlic Butter and Cajun Style seasonings. The fish was cooked perfectly--fresh, flaky, and well-seasoned. The rice was surprisingly flavorful, and the Cajun Style had just the right amount of spice without overpowering the fish. It paired wonderfully with both the salmon and swai. My wife ordered the Classic 2-Piece Battered Fish & Chips. She really enjoyed the fish, saying the batter was light, crispy, and not overly thick, allowing the fish to shine. The only downside for her was the fries, which weren't quite as memorable as the fish. The restaurant has a simple, clean, and inviting atmosphere with a spacious indoor dining area, plus outdoor seating if you prefer to dine outside. What stood out just as much as the food was the staff. Everyone we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. Great customer service makes a big difference, and I hope they continue providing that same level of hospitality after the grand opening. Overall, we had a wonderful first experience. If you're looking for fresh, flavorful seafood at a reasonable price, California Fish Grill is definitely worth checking out. Welcome to Concord, and best wishes on your grand opening!

The food is actually kinda decent for the price. The fish and chips was salty but they fried it…read morewell. 3pc for $15 is also hard to beat. The poke bowl, on the other hand, was pretty bland. I mean I guess we can't compare to actual poke places... There's an app sign up offer for a free everything protein bowl with the purchase of a drink. Highly recommend doing that. The bowl on its own is $13. Food aside, the staff was pretty nice. Nothing against the staff.

It appears to be popular with families as well. It was a Friday evening after 9pm, kind of late for us to eat very much but I needed something so we popped in. It was quiet, maybe three or four other tables. Our food server was patient as I looked over the fairly large menu. Ended up with some of my current faves: hamachi nigiri, California roll, yam roll, and salmon skin roll. Everything was thoughtful, well prepared, and delicious. It was just enough food and I was good for the night. On our second visit, my hubby and I brought my dad for lunch to celebrate his 88th birthday. It was pouring rain outside but we were fortunate to get parking right outside the door. We ended up sitting by the window which was the same table we sat at during our first visit. We ordered gyoza (6) for the table. We all ordered bento. Dad had the beef short ribs and California roll, hubby had the Vegetable tempura and California roll, I had the Saba shiyoyaki and hamachi sashimi. All three came with miso soup and salad. Everything was delicious. My fish was well seasoned and moist, dad's beef short ribs were tender, hubby's tempura was light and crisp. Lunch was very reasonably priced for all we ordered. I am definitely a fan of this place and look forward to dining here again.

The restaurant is very clean and spacious! The employees were friendly, the cashier recommended me to try the Bubbarrito, which was very delicious. Comes with fresh salsa and cilantro cream sauce. I would rate it 9/10, next time I would ask for the hash brown to be a little bit more crispy for texture. Wait time was about 10 minutes. We also tried the Vietnamese ice coffee, I would rate it 9.5/10 must try! Overall, I give this place 5 stars. If you're in the area, come try it out!

The dining area is spacious and bright with large windows. You order at the counter and get a number. The food is then brought to you. The menu is international. You can have American classics like burgers, and you also can have Asian rice plates (adobo, teriyaki, etc) as well as Mexican dishes. It is therefore great for groups of people who may have diverse palates. On our visit our group of 3 ordered pork chop rice plate, burger, and breakfast burritos. The portions were very generous, and the taste was on point. My pork chop was chunky and marinated well. The prices were reasonable for the amount of food we got.
