    Always a great experience!! Love this place!! The food has always been good and they are very nice. The owner, she has always greeted and welcomed customers, and with a smile. Never have to wait long for a to go order. I was recommended by someone over 20 years ago. This place is one of the best, hands down. The restaurant interior has a nice clean dining area. Recommend their egg drop soup and wonton soup

    It took a while to get through on the phone on Xmas Day, but we finally did and they were great about it. Rolled up to pick up our takeout for dinner, and as you can imagine, the place was jammed! Give them a lot of credit for navigating the big crowd and pushing out all the takeout orders calmly. Our Fried Rice, Chow Fun and Moo Shu Chicken dishes were super tasty and in nice portions once we got home and dug in. Appealing enough and cozy inside, with a compact parking lot outside. Very good, all in all.

    Wor wonton soup. Vegetable spring rolls.

    Quick, delicious, affordable. I like stopping here for dinner after driving south all afternoon on I-5. I get soup and something else to help settle me down from the road. Service is excellent. Portions are generous.

    My family had the sizzling beef, yang chow fried rice, and wor wonton soup. Soup didn't come out hot. Also packing in flavor, it was bland. Beef and rice were plentiful and delicious. It's just the soup was on the cold side. Service was adequate. Booth was a little tight. Nice ambiance at night, not too bright, just right, relaxing . I'd go back again soon.

    We were seated right away and the servers were friendly. It is a good sized restaurant that was able to seat all 8 of us in 1 table. I forgot to take a picture before we ate, but i took a picture of the empty plates. Lol.

    Great Chinese Food in SCV. Still serves tea in a teapot. Portions are huge and price is still reasonable for what everything costs nowadays. You also still get a table mat with your Chinese horoscope and a fortune cookie at the end if you finish your food.

    Broccoli and Black Mushrooms with Tofu

    Grand Panda has a lot going for it in terms of service and ambiance, but unfortunately for us, the food was not as good as we wanted it to be, especially relative to other nearby Chinese food spots. We live nearby and were excited to try a non-strip mall Chinese food restaurant. The stand-alone building and up-scale-ish decor on the inside were nice. We loved the little details like pandas etched into the clear dividers between tables. It felt like a nice place to be inside and the staff and our server were friendly. The portions were also quite generous. You're not going to go hungry here. The food however was relatively bland compared to similar dishes we've ordered at other local restaurants. We had a lot leftover to take home and no one was particularly excited about eating the leftovers. (which is unusual in this house for Chinese food!) We're glad they had tofu as an option, but would have also, as vegetarians, enjoyed a faux-meat option to up the offerings for our diets. It's a nice place with nice people...but compared to other places within blocks on the same street, it would be our top to choice to return for Chinese food.

    Came here for happy hour with friends. We got all four of the dishes on the happy hour menu. My…read morefavorite were #1 Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection. Then the #2 spot landed on the smashed burger then the #3 spot were the refinery fries with beer braised short ribs on them. The 4th and 5th landed on the fried chicken sando and the Fish & Chips. The place is a combination of a bar and seating area but no TV's to watch a game. It was pretty dead when we were dining and I hope it got better when dinner time came around because the food was good and so was the service as our waiter came by frequently to check on us and refill our drinks. They have plenty of street parking and a couple of blocks from them they have a parking structure. Come on by to socialize with your buddies and enjoy a time of good food and drinks.

    We recently had a death in our family which led us to look for a restaurant away from the city. In…read moredoing some research we came to find that Newhall had a few new restaurants, based on the reviews and the pictures we traveled there to the Newhall Refinery. The street front seating and building architecture is very appealing and welcoming. As you enter the main doors, you are greeting by friendly staff. We were offered any open seating, we decided to take a table against the back wall that was adjacent to the entry. The decor inside is very rustic with a touch of micro brewery, the ceiling has many tap handles that adorn the ceiling. The menu and food, we were initially drawn into the Refinery since they seem to be the only spot that offered Brunch and Mimosas in the downtown street. Key point of clarification, the Mimosas are simi bottomless (you have 90 min) to pour down, some of us really like Mimosas, plus the price was just slightly higher that we typically expect at 27, per person. Were they good, yes, so we decided to go with one Mimosa and an Old Fashion drink, it was very well done, Buffalo Trace Bourbon. We ordered from the Brunch menu, the Steak and Eggs, cooked to your liking, they did a great job on both, the one item that we were less impressed with were the overcooked Oreda looking potatoes that accompanied the meals. We also ordered the Cacio e Pepe Beni, Prosciutto, perfect poached eggs and all of the other fixings, it was great testing and the presentation was amazing. As far as my overall rating I could not give it a 5 star due to what other customers have shared in their reviews, the wait staff is not timely, almost forced friendly and possibly just lacking some restaurant experience, they did not come around or notice things like empty water glasses and a few other things, could have been understaffed possibly on this day. Overall I would still recommend the Refinery due to the location, atmosphere, drinks and main dish prep. Thank you for providing a break from reality during a very trying time in our family.

From the moment we sat down, the staff was attentive without hovering, quick to accommodate, and genuinely welcoming. The food is top notch, beautifully prepared and absolutely worth treating yourself. If you've got a little extra to spend on a date or a good friend, this is the place to do it. A special thank you to Danielle, our waitress, who was kind, courteous, and never rushed us. She even allowed us to linger a bit after hours to enjoy our final lemon drop, making the night feel unhurried and personal. Great food, great service, and an experience worth repeating. Highly recommend. El Yepista - Gabriel

    Lovely spot for drinks and dinner in Santa Clarita…read more I was in the area running errands and decided to grab dinner nearby on a Thusday evening around 6:30 pm. I found this place on Yelp and dropped by for dinner. My party of 2 was seated immediately. Personally I thought the menus were hard to read. The gray lines in the background were quite dark and clashed with the actual menu items. My suggestion to the restaurant would be to reprint the menus with lighter background. They have an extensive cocktail menu with a lot of gin-based drinks. They also have good selection of wine and NA drinks as well, including some mocktails. I got the I'm Driving mocktail ($13), which I really liked. It had good passion fruit flavor without being too sour. Felt like a really nice tropical juice. My friend really liked his drink Bramblin' Man ($17), which had strong notes of bourbon and blackberry. I wasn't super hungry, but the braised short rib looked amazing so I got that for $43. It was very tender, but I personally found it bland especially on the inside. I asked for additional sauce so I could drench each bite in the sauce. My favorite part of the plate was surprisingly the potato croquette, which was perfectly crispy and well flavored. My friend got the chicken club ($23), which he enjoyed. I stole a bunch of his seasoned fries since they were so good. I would've loved to get dessert but was too stuffed. Next time!
