    House Fried Rice Mandarin Chicken
    Jerrold I.

    I'm torn, I really am. I would like to give a higher rating to local businesses however most of my food just wasn't good. The service was great, however, it did not match the quality of the food. For my main entree, I got House fried rice & mandarin chicken, and I also got a Combination wonton soup on the side. The house fried rice was okay, nothing special, not bad, not great. The mandarin chicken was horrible. Each piece was 90% breading & 10% tough, hard chicken pieces. No crunch to the breading either, just a bouncy mush. The only saving grace was the soup. It was delicious, actually. Probably one of the best won ton soups I have had. It had BBQ pork which added a whole ton of flavor for the whole broth. I may be back, I might not; if I do, I hope their food is better.

    Had to have their wor won ton soup. Found this bug in it. Guess I'm not going back. Never had this happen before but who knows how many bugs I've eaten over the years

    Not sure why this place has such a low rating because the food was actually really good!…read more We ordered takeout and everything held up nicely. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was definitely the star (5/5). Crispy, sweet, and super satisfying. The Chow Fun was also a favorite (5/5) with great texture and flavor. The Orange Chicken (4/5) and both the Veggie Fried Rice (4/5) and Pork Fried Rice (4/5) were solid. Flavorful and good portions. Since we ordered to go, I don't have much to say about the ambiance or service, but based on the food alone, I would definitely order from here again!

I've eaten take out here numerous times when I crave Chinese take-out. There's just not much to work with in Oakley, CA. I would say Uncle Wong is just about the same with the competitors. The food, without getting into specifics, can be inconsistent-- sometimes bland, sometimes, a little less bland. Just like any other Chinese take-out, the food can also be oily, which is expected. The serving size is about the same as others, as well as the price. The 3 stars stem from them at least being "okay", service and readiness being quick, and priced decently. The inside is small, ran down -- horrific bathroom, but at least I never dine in. Until Oakley has something better, it'll do.

    I am a rideshare driver and I drive all over the Bay Area…read more The service is great here, so I REALLY wanted to like my last meal here! The portions at dinner are huge and great if you have a big family. The lunch specials are a great value and they have a nice variety of lunch items to choose from. I like the Kung Pao Chicken and the fried rice. Very delicious! It would be so nice if they offered dinner specials for single diners. When I ordered dinner the other night it really was overpriced for one person. I didn't like the Mushu at all. Why did they add hoisin to the Mushu itself? ***Yuck!!!!***That's supposed to be a sweet condiment on the side of a savory dish and it wasn't at all yummy having it included inside. I wanted the usual contrasting flavors. Also; the Salt Pepper Tofu had a little too much baking soda in the crust and an off flavor, and I do rideshare, so the huge portions are wasted on me because taking food to go isn't even an option for me. I am giving 4 stars, because I had a 5 star exleriences and 3 star experiences here. They really need to offer plates to single diners at night instead of trying to make us purchase more food than we need, which is particularly disappointing when food quality isn't there. Uncle Wangs is my go-to restaurant when I am in Pittsburgh! Most of their food is top-notch and they have good service. They should also really consider turning down the volume of the to-go order bell. I will return to this restaurant at lunchtime to order something other than what I made the mistake of ordering the last time. They have lovely service, which makes up for the cook last time.

I've spent…read morehundreds, if not thousands, of dollars ordering from this restaurant because the food has always been worth the drive. Unfortunately, my most recent experience completely changed my opinion. I ordered a roll for my daughter with no avocado and added cucumber. When we got home, the roll only had crab inside. There was no cucumber at all. I called and simply asked for a refund, but I was told the chef insisted the cucumber was in the roll, so they refused. Instead, they told me to drive back so they could remake it. After driving another 20 minutes back (40 minutes of driving total), the employee inspected the roll herself and immediately saw that there was, in fact, no cucumber. So the issue I reported from the beginning was real. What disappointed me most wasn't the mistake. Mistakes happen. It was being treated like my word wasn't trustworthy after years of supporting this business. Rather than believing a loyal customer or offering a simple refund, I had to waste my time and gas proving that the order was incorrect. It makes me wonder if one roll was really worth losing a long-time customer. Customer service is about how you handle mistakes, and unfortunately this experience left me feeling undervalued. I hope management reconsiders how situations like this are handled in the future.

This place…read morealways looks dead from the outside but I've heard nothing but good things so we thought we'd give it a try since recent social media posts have been praising the them. When we arrived, there was another couple there that just ordered and sat down. Yes, you order at a window and then if you're dining in, you just find a table to sit at and they'll bring the food to you. It was really weird in there. No music playing or anything but it was relatively clean but very quiet, just the chatter between my husband and I and the other couple. Once the food arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to see how fresh and yummy it looked. It was all very good! Prices versus portions, I feel we get more elsewhere but the food was very good. Would we go back, sure but probably for take out only. Maybe if they had music playing so there wasn't the odd silence, we'd dine in. Overall, it's definitely worth trying! We definitely enjoyed our food and had a little bit to take home for leftovers!!

    Don't let the quiet parking lot fool you--this place is a hidden gem!…read more I've driven past Lone Tree Fine Chinese Cuisine for years and always hesitated to try it because the parking lot usually only has a car or two. I honestly questioned if it was even open or if the food wasn't great. Well, last night I didn't feel like cooking and finally decided to order online. We ordered a big spread: salt and pepper spare ribs, chicken chow mein, chicken with veggies, beef chow fun, and lemon chicken. We have had our fair share of Chinese food, and I can honestly say this place is very good! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. My only small critique is that the portion size for the salt and pepper pork was a little lacking, but the flavor made up for it. I'm so glad I finally gave them a chance and I will definitely be a returning customer!

    I'm very impressed with their authentic chinese bbq. I got the Roast Duck, Haianese Chicken, and…read moreCrispy Pork Belly. This is definitely on par with Oakland & SF Chinatown. Reasonably price. Honestly, the pork belly is the star and could be the best I've had in a long time considering I still live and grew up in Oakland. At other chinese bbq spots the skin to me is usually very crunchy and chewy. But Roast Eatery pork belly skin is so light and crispy, that after a few bites the tender meat and fat slowly melts in your mouth making it very enjoyable. The sweet sauce with the pork belly is new to me. it's interesting but i prefer eating it with the ginger scallion because it helps cut the richness from the pork belly. The Haianese Chicken is exceptional. Cooked perfectly to tendernism. Anyone new to chinese bbq and wondering why the chopped chicken bone is still red or pink, that's called myoglobin so don't worry it's already cooked and means that it's perfectly gently poached. Of course, always take caution, ask questions and do a little research. If you're afraid, just eat around it, but this will probably be the best and healthiest way to eat chicken if you're on a diet. Roast Duck was flavorful, tender and nicely roasted. Definitely your go to local spot if you're in the East County (Oakley, Brentwood, or Antioch). It's also on par with local favorite spots in Oakland Chinatown like Gold Medal. Service is very straight forward and quick to order. The staff are friendly. Got our order in less than 10 minutes. Overall, I will be coming here more frequently for my chinese bbq fix and quick healthy lunch. They also own the dim sum bakery next door and it's definitely a hit too!

I came here yesterday during opening and there was already a long line of people waiting for their orders. I think they can hire a few more people to speed things up in the back kitchen. I ordered their roast pork belly with rice which was really good. Expect that traditional 5-spice flavor that's mainly used in Chinese roast pork. They give a generous amount too which is nice. I also enjoyed the ginger sauce it came with. I thought this paired better than the black sweet sauce they provide. Typically I like my pork belly thoroughly cooked but this is a different style and I still enjoyed it. It's worth $15! I want to come back to try their duck next!
