    Cream cheese Rangoon
    Renee B.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking in, the place was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is always friendly. When I came in some of the food came out fresh as I was standing there. The hot orange chicken is indeed on the hot side. But good. It's a good quick fix when you don't have time for a sit down restaurant but want the Chinese food flair.

    I got moldy black greens in my food! I think they need to check the food before they make them! Service was great but they use need to check their food! It's not very appetizing to look at this in your food!

    Props to angel for being the only worker serving during lunch rush hour wish they could have an extra person helping . Food took forever :/

    Props to angel for being the only one serving 13 people alone seems like this place is always struggling

    Honey Walnut Shrimp - tasty.
    Lynnette M.

    So love, hate, or neutral, we all seem to come here fairly often. It's okay, just admit it. Entree and side selections can run from 'meh', to pretty good, to, 'wow, this is great!' Right? Still, we come, we stick with our favorites, and generally, but not always, we get what we came for. The variables are food quality (not always consistent), service (sometimes good, sometimes not so much), cleanliness (they always seem to be a little bit behind the ball here). So there it is. But ... will we be back? Yep, you bet.

    "Panda Cub Meal"

    Ordered a panda cub meal and received this mess with just a apple juice. No chicken or apple crisps. Hoping for a refund from customer service.

    You can sit there and watch them take everything out of the freezer and cook it. Not enough vegetables in each item.

    Never have a revived such consistently small portion sizes at a Panda Express as this one. Straight stingy with their rice and chow menu.

    Their Covid setup is terrible. Doesn't matter if you go in to order or order online you'll be waiting for 30+ minutes.

    The staff was not friendly. The price listed was $21 a person, but we were charged 23.95$ a person…read morewithout an explanation. The food was very very VERY salty. The restrooms were clean, and the options on the Buffett were limited compared to other buffets for a much higher price to eat.

    This is a four-star review relative to the fact that it is very hard to find good Chinese…read more(Chinese-American) food in SLO County. In San Francisco this would be three stars on my scale. That being said, we had a pleasant experience here. It's clean. It's bright from sunlight (not industrial lighting) inside. There are booths and tables so small or large party-flexible. Got a friendly greeting from the owner (maybe?). You pay when you go in, before you sit down, so there's no waiting for your check. If you'd like beer or wine (only wine by the bottle, but it's $16.10 a bottle - Copper Ridge), you buy that at the front, too. I had a Tsing Tao beer for $4.50. Self-serve tea in plastic mugs, which is just okay. It's a multi- row buffet with a lot of choices. We went for Friday night dinner, at 5:30. It had a few big tables of families and some small groups at the booths. I most enjoyed the salt and peppered pork, sesame balls, veggie spring rolls, and all the wok-cooked dishes with vegetables (like beef with broccoli and the wok-cooked green beans), which were perfectly cooked, fresh, and not too salty. The house special rib (a flat cut, not like a spare rib) was in a very exotic magenta sweet/spicy sauce and was worth a taste. There was a dish of fried salt and pepper in-shell shrimp, which I would have tried if I had felt like shelling shrimp. My partner said the steamed peel-and-eat shrimp were also very good. I was impressed with the fresh salad bar's cucumber slices, and fresh honeydew and cantaloupe, which all looked very nice. I would skip the noodles and the egg flower soup. Oh, and the soft-serve vanilla ice cream with sauces was very fun. There were many kinds of cookies that I wasn't familiar with that were fun to try: a vanilla wafer with cream cookie, and an almond cookie. The empty dishes were cleared quickly. It was a good value at $23(ish) per adult for dinner on the weekend. Different prices for lunch. We will be back!

    A complete walk back in time at the oldest restaurant in the Central Valley. Tiniest place, maybe…read more7 tables, and tiniest menu with only a handful of items. I suppose that's the secret to longevity, and no doubt, Gordon Ramsay would be pleased - small menu means quick kitchen and fresh food -- not frozen. My buddy and I treated ourselves to all pork dishes: * Pork dumplings (soft, in an amazing sauce, and unreal ground and flavorful pork inside) * Double-pork (thinly sliced pork-chop, pan-fried noodle, veggies -- loved...loved...loved) * Pork Chow Mein (basically the same as double-pork, but steamed noodle, and not as good pork) Great prices, fast service, loved it.

    Another great visit! This is my third this year and the crew at Mee Heng Low continue to deliver…read more It was super busy and I did have to take some of my dinner to go to make my movie in time, but the service was still very friendly and capable regardless of the huge amount of hustle they were putting out (there was an art reception upstairs). I sat downstairs in one of the booths and had the cold bean thread salad. It was so yummy. I also enjoyed a $4 805 beer. So glad Mee Heng Low is here in SLO, next door to my favorite movie theater (the Palm), and serving delicious food and beer at reasonable prices.

    Simple store, simple menu, locally owned--and exactly what a burger joint should be…read more Rebecca took my order with a smile and so much happiness, it was impossible not to be in a good mood. I went in planning to order the $11.95 cheeseburger combo, but I swerved and got the gourmet western burger combo for $14.49 instead. Excellent decision. The skinny fries with the skins on came out steaming hot, and the burger was fantastic--a big, flavorful patty hanging over the edge of a fresh bun like it had something to prove. No gimmicks, no overthinking, just a solid local burger spot doing burgers right.

    I stopped at J's Burger in Paso Robles looking for something easy and casual, just a simple burger…read morespot to grab lunch. It's a small place, not fancy, but it felt friendly and relaxed, the kind of place that doesn't try too hard and knows what it is. Here are the details... *Service: everyone was very friendly. The guy at the front was genuinely nice, but he was pretty confused and confusing when I asked about the daily specials and pricing. He tried to explain it, but it made understanding what was what harder than it should have been. Nothing negative intention-wise at all, just a little chaotic and unclear. *Food: I ordered the burger medium rare, no cheese. It came out medium well with cheese and a very small piece of pineapple. Not exactly what I ordered, but it still tasted good. It had plenty of condiments, lettuce, tomato, a thin slice of ham, and mayonnaise. Flavor-wise it was solid, just not what I asked for. The fries were excellent. Crispy, fresh, and clearly made from real potatoes. They slice whole potatoes in-house with a slicing machine and turn them straight into fries, which I thought was really cool. They also had some kind of seasoning on them that made them even better. They have a lot of good burger options, plus chicken sandwiches, salads, and chicken strips. I liked that there was variety beyond just burgers. They also do a daily special burger for $10.99, combo meals are $13.99, and you can sub onion rings for fries for $0.99, which felt fair. *Ambiance: it's pretty clean, open, and small, about ten tables inside. It felt comfortable and simple. There are a few tables out front and a picnic table under a big tree, which is a nice idea, but it's right off the main street so it's not super peaceful. *Value: it felt like a pretty good value. The pricing made sense for what you get, especially with the daily specials and combo options. Nothing felt overpriced. *Overall: this was a solid but not standout experience. Friendly people, great fries, good burger flavor, but the order accuracy and confusing explanation of specials held it back. I give it 3 out of 5 stars. It's a decent stop if you're in the area and want something casual and quick. I added a bunch of pictures to help you get a feel.
