We celebrated a birthday dinner on a Monday night with a group of 12 at Emma's, and it was a…read morewonderful experience. We were the only dine-in customers at the time, although they had a steady stream of takeout orders coming through. Despite that, all of our food arrived quickly and everything was organized perfectly. Our server was incredibly friendly and seemed to be handling the entire dining room on his own--taking our order serving food, and the clearing table. He never seemed rushed and provided excellent service throughout the evening. We brought our own birthday dessert, and he graciously brought out plates and forks and helped us celebrate, which was a thoughtful touch that we really appreciated. The food was fresh, plentiful, and came out fast. My favorite dish of the night was the vegetable spring rolls.

I was complaining to a friend ; who recommended that I try DJ's! I did that tonight - DJ's is a hidden gem.

I will be definitely be returning to DJ's regularly to enjoy my favorite meal. There is also a very nice back patio where I enjoyed the tea. Well done DJ's !!! Sincerely, Robin Olive

We got food to go tonight and the service was delightful. Very friendly and accessible. The food…read morewas a disappointment. We tried two different soups: a war won ton and a seafood soup. The war won ton was just the won tons with no fillings and the broth was good, but it was not what we expected. The seafood soup was mostly broth with a little bit of fresh mushrooms and French cut green beans and finely we found a couple shrimp and a few bits of calamari. The sweet and sour pork was mushy and didn't have much flavor. The kung pao shrimp was mostly onions! The next ingredient was green peppers and garlic. There were peanuts and still more onions. We are not fans of onions, so this was not a good surprise. The rice was fine but not special. We also ordered plain steamed vegetables and shrimp, which we will try tomorrow night if we are willing to eat this again. Service 5/5 Food 2.5/5 Ambiance 4/5 lovely patio in back of the building and nice linen table clothes. Good window seating.

I really love their chow mein here and their beef and broccoli so delicious!

The restaurant looks like a small house tucked away on a quiet street near the freeway; it felt almost abandoned, though I suspect I just missed the usual rush-hour traffic. I walked in thinking, "Interesting," and here is why: in my experience, the best Chinese food usually comes from "hole-in-the-wall" spots, and this place definitely fit the bill. My gut feeling was spot on. One bite of that salt and pepper fish and I knew it was legit. It honestly rivals some of the best spots in San Francisco and the East Bay. This is officially my new go-to in the area. I didn't get any photos this time, but I'll be sure to add some after my next visit! The cashier was friendly enough, but I probably wouldn't dine in as it is not my usual scene.

How much do you think that would cost? 20 bucks maybe a little more? I picked up my food handed the guy behind the counter my card and thought nothing of it. Mind you I cone here all the time. Why is it today im seeing I've been charged $42.55? Yes you got that right. They charged me and then tipped themselves and extra $20 on top of my meal. This is an unfortunate loss for me. I trusted this place for a good food and good vibes and got taken advantage of.

We ordered the Pun Khao Poon platter (lettuce wraps) with pork springrolls, pad thai with chicken, and the mango salad. The portions were very generous. The mango salad was the highlight of the meal, followed by the lettuce wraps. The dressing in the mango salad had just the right combination of sweet and tangy. We loved the addition of mint for the wraps, but I personally don't care for perilla leaves. The fish sauce accompanying the wraps was delicious and was also great over the pad thai, which was a bit on the bland side without it. Service was a bit less than perfect. When one diner asked for water, only her glass was refilled when another glass was obviously in need also; minor overlook, though. The one thing that was a bit disturbing was the noise level. It was extremely loud, so it was really difficult to hear each other talk. It didn't help that the party at the next table had a woman who cackled loudly when she laughed. It was a relief to step outside after we ate. Not sure what can be done to help with this, but it did make dining there not as pleasant as it could be. Even with this, I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

It didn't appear like they have AC, since all the doors were open. This restaurant looks new on the outside, but looks "old-school" on the inside. The only thing missing was.....chopsticks on the table. I ordered: -Tomato Beef Chow Mein, $15.95, serves two. Very good Tomato Beef Chow Mein. Every piece of beef was tender and easy to eat. The chunks of tomato, bell pepper and onion were in small bite sized pieces. Perfect for eating with chopsticks. The sauce was tangy and lightly sweet. What was missing was the "Wok Hei." Aka...."the breath of the Wok," it's the unique smoky aroma that adds a special flavor to stir fry food. - Salt & Pepper Fried Chicken Wings, $17.95, 9 wings. To be clear, these are "flats." Fresh, juicy, and fried crispy good. Seasoned in coarse salt, chili pepper and onion. My waiter/server gave me a small dish of chili oil to enhance the heat level.

Fried items tend to be very oil-wet, which is no surprise, but look at the photo of egg rolls on their web page: too much oil, in my opinion. They do have a number of seafood items, that are popular and I encourage you to come here to try their version of some of your favorite Chinese dishes. Every kitchen is different, so sample many to determine which you like best. And you better watch the clock if you are lunching close to 2 pm.
