    Inconsistent portions
    Ellison W.

    I was genuinely happy when I heard we were getting a Panda Express here in Sonoma. My overall experience with this chain has been a positive one. The handful of times I have been to this location haven't been.... The first time, the portions weren't what I was expecting. No biggie. New location, new employees, i figured they were just finding their legs. The second time, the portions were better but I ordered Teriyaki chicken... They forgot to put the teriyaki in the bag...so i had grilled chicken instead. The third time, they were out of almost everything, and I waited for over a half hour for them to have something I could eat (shellfish allergies). And the chow mein was just a few scoops of dried noodles that was left in the pot... I'm not sure why I wanted to try a fourth time but i did.. Again, lousy portions and no teriyaki.. I won't be going in there again.

    Rudy are right next to Lucky and I made an opportunistic stop to pick up some food since I have not been to a PE in a while. Something about their chow mein and cream cheese rangoon...I just never tire of it. They were open and I was able to go in and order which was surprising given the SIP.

    The new Panda Express in Somoma has all the things one expects from Panda Express

    This brand new Panda Express just opened in Sonoma on the Westside of town, and is offering the usual menu that patrons can find at any of the existing Panda Express locations. My household and I decided to try it and take advantage of the coupons we received in the mail. We had the broccoli beef, chicken chow mein, fried rice and Kung Pao dish. All of the entrees we ordered we enjoyed. The only thing we were disappointed in were the pot stickers and the spring rolls. They were less than average. Still we are happy to have some Asian style food in a town that has very little to offer with regards to various ethnic foods. This place is brand new and it no doubt will take some time for it to get settled. We will go back again as it is a good spot to grab some delicious and perhaps more nutritious "fast food" once in a while, that's much better than McDonald's and we found more economical too. It's a real meal deal here.

    Missing 1/3 of food... and they didn't notice?

    Don't bother ordering online as it won't be right and when you call they don't give a crap. They give you the " there's nothing I can do my manager comes back tomorrow". So helpful. They use DoorDash as delivery and charge ridiculous amounts as well. Better places to order food from that actually appreciate your business.

    Stumbled on this Chinese place after a long drive and wanted to get some take out…read more I asked the lady helping us if there was anything Gluten free (made with Tamari) I wasn't sure if she quite understood because she quickly said yes yes we make everything to order. We were a bit reluctant to order because my husband has celiac but we went with a couple things to share. I got wonton soup for myself and 2 dishes she said they could make gluten free. I found it interesting that the entrees don't come with rice and you have to order the amount of rice you want. It also cost extra for chili sauce so you can see how quickly all of this can add up. The food itself was fine, wasn't the best Chinese food or anything. I felt like I needed to add soy or more sauce to the dishes because they didn't have a lot of flavor. Especially with them making them gluten free somehow. The white sauce was just ok ya know? The thing I did enjoy most was the noodles with small pieces of bbq pork. The wonton soup had only broth and 2 wontons, that's it. Every wonton soup I've ever eaten had more than that. Whether it be spinach, other veggies or even a couple shrimps. It was rather bland. We spent about $45-50

    UPDATE mid-May 2026…read more They've reopened a few days a week due to popular demand! They were focused on their catering for a bit. No hot pot until the winter. Only open on weekends. Lunch is takeout only. Yay! Their bbq pork is their specialty along with other roasted meats.

    I totally was that weird kid who ate strange food growing up. I would rather eat lobster or…read moreartichokes than chicken or green beans, and given the choice I'd gladly eat my body weight in dim sum over basically any other food. That hasn't changed at all for me as an adult! In Sonoma county there was really just one place with dim sum, and lots of people wanted more options. I tried other restaurants with their dim sum adjacent menus, but they were pretty mediocre and mostly focused on fried pot stickers or the occasional steamed siu mai. Once I heard fantasy was starting a true dim sum menu, I knew we had to try it. The day we arrived I was solidly in my third trimester of pregnancy and getting around was a chore, but that wasn't going to keep me from dim sum. We were the only guests the whole time on the day we went there, which was weird to me given how good the food ended up being! Service was great, super friendly and just lovely folks. The restaurant was clean and we'll organized, and the menu was a good mix of traditional favorites and some trendy BAO for the insta. We ordered a little of everything , which to me is why dim sum is so fun. Food came out super fast, and we tucked right in. Surprisingly to me, my favorite dish is one hubs picked on a whim, the spicy won tons. The flavors and textures were on point, and even with pregnancy heartburn, the spice on these things was well worth it. Super delicious. I felt the pandan and black sesame bao were overly trendy for my taste, but I'm sure those who are new to dim sum could see these options as easy introduction into the food. Really good experience here with very tasty food, nice people and quality dishes. I'm still getting over the idea of expensive dim sum because of growing up eating it in SF with low costs in a humble setting, but for this overall experience I felt the prices were fine. I will definitely be back, and eager to try the rest of the items on their menu.

I decided to grab lunch here after seeing the great Yelp rating. The place has a clean and colorful interior. I ordered the Mongolian Beef Lunch plate, and Iced Tea. I noticed this place has very attentive service. The iced tea was served in a carafe with a glass loaded with ice and lemon slices. The tea was strong, so when it was poured over the ice, it was perfect! The lunch included hot & sour soup. The Mongolian Beef lunch plate was presented with a balance of Mongolian Beef and Fried Rice. A fried won ton skin tops it off. Very good food. Very attentive service. Free 2nd glass of iced tea.

Located on Lakeville Highway, just east of Hwy 101, it would make a good place to stop for a nice lunch or dinner. I was there on a warm Saturday, at around 11:30 am. The dining room has a contemporary asian decor. The AC kept the air cool and comfortable. There's several 2,4, and 6 seat tables. Just before lunchtime, the place was 1/3 full with customers. I was seated along the wall. I was offered a menu, and choice of hot tea or ice water. I asked for chopsticks, because the place setting had a fork. I ordered the Mongolian Beef lunch plate w/ fried rice. Also, I asked for an order of (Lightly Breaded) Fried Prawns. Service was excellent. My waiter was very attentive, and served my food as soon as it was ready. He told me if there were any delays. I didn't have to ask for anything. The Fried Prawns were large and plump. They were served with various sauces to choose from. The Mongolian Beef lunch plate had a nice presentation. The portion size was fair. The fried rice was moist, and blended well with the Mongolian Beef. The Mongolian Beef was spicy and tasted just right. Hot 'n Sour soup came with the lunch plate. Lily Kai's recipe for hot 'n sour soup is a little different than what you might get in most other chinese restaurants. They make it with alot of mushrooms. The familiar flavor was there, but it lacked several expected ingredients. Well, as long as it tasted good, I'm okay with it. ----------------------------------------------- So I had a great first time experience here. The plaza has a free shared parking lot. There's a Starbucks Coffee shop in the same plaza. Also, this place is down the street from the Kaiser Medical Offices. Also, they have clean and large restrooms. Lily Kai is in the Adobe Creek Center at Lakeville Hwy & South McDowell Blvd.

Besides the beautiful outdoor dining courtyard, the inside houses a sports bar, a VIP dining room, and a casual dining rooms for your selection. As a conneseur of fine, authentic Chinese food, the menu was very impressive. When you see chicken feet on the menu, you know it's authentic! In addition to the chicken feet, we also ordered the Peking duck, mapo tofu, and a few different types of dim sum. (Sorry I wasn't able to post any photos. But I did notice that the menu we saw had a little more than what other customers posted on Yelp.). Bottom line, the food was simply fantastic. Chef's kiss!!! Last, but not least, the staff is phenomenal. We were waited on by 3 different employees, each of whom gave impeccable service. Although all 3 were great, we have to give a special shout out to Jesse. He shared his creativity with us from his delicious cocktail creations to his AI-generated memory photos, which IMO would be any customer's novel reminder of their wonderful dining experience at Empress M. We will definitely be back!
