    Very good food and service! Came for lunch with my mom and toddler! Food came out quickly and hot. The sautéed green beans were by far my favorite! So good! And the egg drop soup was delicious! I personally was not a big fan of the broccoli beef (the sauce tasted off to me hard to explain), their fried rice is very good and so are their spring rolls! They didn't have Togo cups for my drink so they made me one and I absolutely LOVE the creativity and dedication to helping me get my drink Togo! :) very sweet staff! Highly recommend!

    BBQ pork fried rice, chicken in black bean sauce, and salt and pepper fried fish.

    One of my ATF's!! Food is amazing, service is stellar and ambiance is always a vibe. We frequent here at lease 2-3 times a month. Only thing I wish was that the bar area was open to public. Maybe one day, hint hint...

    Chow mein with hair in it

    Ordered lunch special orange chicken. Food came out in like 3 mins thought that was too fast but still gave it a try. It was ok but I could tell they just reheated it from earlier. Soup they give you is good chow mein was also until I found a hair in it I was done at that point and left the restaurant won't be back no thank you

    This is hands down my favorite sit-down Chinese restaurant here in Vacaville. Food is great! Service is quick and friendly. Never have any problems with the order being made wrong, not even once! Some favorite dishes include, chow similar ways fun, peeking beef, general's chicken, mooshu pork etc.

    I stopped by Wah Shine to pick up dinner. I was tired after a long work day. The service is always friendly and welcoming. Every time I order to go, they offer me a glass of water (which I always happily accept!) while I wait for my food. The food is always hot, delicious, and the portions are very generous. The decor is not the flashiest, but, it's cozy. I appreciate how well they pack my food to go, provided extra spicy sauce, and cut a hole in the corner of the packaging to let the steam out. The food is consistently delicious. Tonight's dinner: Orange chicken Chicken fried rice Fried prawns Egg rolls

    Pork fired rice

    Very attentive service. Great friendly staff our waitresses was an absolute rock star. Food was served very quickly and the quality was excellent for the price point. Broccoli seemed very fresh and cooked perfectly and the beef was very flavorful and tender. Sweet and sour pork was crispy as all get out. Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu.

    Combination Hong Kong Style Chow Mein
    Christopher J.

    I ordered takeout for 4 items. Salt and Pepper Fish was light, crispy and very tasty. It was nicely seasoned and every piece had a consistent texture. Broccoli Beef was packed with flavor. The broccoli had a nice snap and was cooked perfectly. The beef was soft and succulent. Combination Hong Kong Style Chow Mein was excellent. This entree is not available at most restaurants in the area, so it's a big plus Wah Shine makes it, and makes it right. Eggplant in Szechuan sauce was a nice vegetable entree to complement the other choices. I placed my order inside the restaurant and I waited about 15 minutes. The ambiance is casual and there is a nice place to sit for takeout customers.

    Egg Roll

    Well me and wife go here once in a while .she had lunch special sweet sour pork and chow mein it was a healthy plate full of food . It comes with hot sour soup egg roll cheese fried wonton. Price lunch plate $13.95. Good bang for your buck and she liked it. Me on the other hand I had combination Chop Suey. It looked amazing cause I love veggies. Beef shrimp chicken, i was excited to try but it fell short in flavor kinda bland. I was ready for veggies disapointment the were so under cooked. I got a great set of teeth was really tough to eat broccoli was raw carrots raw I had to ask for a knife had so much cabbage barely cooked it made the plate look big .More meats less cabbage. Everything else was edible. Service was great our waitress was good. When I go to eat a dinner or lunch I like a nice and quite meal so me and my wife can chat. Well there was a very loud Chinese woman yelling orders or whatever it was very annoying she was answering the phone by the chef. Could of done with out her being very loud. We will come back next time I will ask for veggies cooked well. $52.00 with tip. Oh order of egg rolls was good nice and crispy not doughy.

    This review is a little long overdue. I visited on a quiet Wednesday night, and I was honestly…read moresurprised by how empty the restaurant was. I mean it may have been one other couple in the restaurant. The price point of the food seems to match the quality, and overall, I thought the food was decent. Our waiter was very kind and provided good service. They did make a mistake with my order. I ordered Dungeness crab but received snow crab legs instead. They did remake the order, which I appreciated. Where I think they could really improve is the drinks. Unfortunately, the margarita I ordered was TRASH, and I definitely wouldn't order another one. I also think adding more specials or promotions could help bring in more customers, especially on slower nights. I'd be willing to give them another try because there were some positives, but there are definitely a few areas that could use some improvement.

We ordered Combo 1, which was around $60, and there was SO much food that we had plenty of leftovers. Definitely enough to feed more than two people! The vibes of the restaurant were really cool too. The scenery and decor give you that fisherman's boat / out-on-the-sea kind of feeling, which makes the whole experience fun and relaxing. The service was also great. I didn't catch our waitress's name, but she was super sweet, attentive, and made us feel welcomed. One downside was the beer. We ordered beers during happy hour for $4.50, which was a great price, but the draft beer tasted a little off to me. It had a tart, almost sour taste that I wasn't expecting, and unfortunately I wasn't pleased with it. Overall, though, the food, portions, prices, atmosphere, and service were all great. I'd definitely come back for the food I'd just probably skip the draft beer next time!

    Staff: 5/5 Food: 4.5/5…read moreAmbience: 3.5/5 ***Intangibles: 10/10*** Decided to break this review down into four parts because I feel each one needs to be addressed as to why I give this establishment 5 Stars. I've been here twice now, and feel this is an honest assessment of what to expect Staff: Extremely courteous and helpful. I've felt welcomed from the very first instance I've come through the door. Food: On both occasions I've had the Fried Chicken and Fried Catfish, along with some French Fries. While I think the Fried Chicken is good, it just doesn't hit me the way I would like. While it is cooked perfectly inside and out, it just lacks something for me. The Fried Catfish on the other hand, is on point. Cooked perfectly again and just wonderful flavor and seasoning. Fries are right up there, too. I haven't tried anything else at this point, but I imagine that there are probably no real disappointments from here. I'm a big boy and portions are more than enough. Ambience: I had to mark this down a bit. While it is not bad, it's nothing special either. Tables and chairs, and a few decorations and TVs. The place is extremely clean which is something you can never take for granted. Intangibles: The Owner...This guy is full of energy and just puts out a real positive vibe. He knows customers by name, and just seeing the repeat customers tells me the place is good. After both visits my interactions with him just leave me feeling good, which is something that's hard to find these days. Definitely a spot that's on my consistent "go to" list now.

    Last chance to have food at Barzar Eatery tomorrow, Sunday, 7/26! They're closing after tomorrow…read moreand then hoping to reopen... closer to the Bay Area proper! Come early or you'll likely not get to have what you're eyeing on. When: Saturday dinner at 5pm (came when they were opening door) What: Chicken satay, pork satay, beef satay, seafood laksa, hainanese chicken rice, fried spring roll Experience: Superb food!! It is a lot of food, but we wiped out all of it among two adults and two young kids. The satays were SO GOOD! Hands down the best I've had in the USA, and on par with the best satay places I've had in Southeast Asia! Our favorites including both kids were beef and pork. So tender, so flavorful and delicious even without using the peanut sauce. We even got another two orders of each to take home! Seafood laksa was such a big portion with good amount of seafood. If you've had Singaporean or Malaysian laksa, this is different. Different in a good way since the owner chef is from Indonesia. The Hainanese chicken rice was tasty. Turmeric rice was different since I'm used to the ginger chicken rice, but the poached chicken was very well made. Under the chicken skin was a layer of gelatin which happens when the chicken is poached and then cool in a meticulous method. Together with the ginger scallion oil sauce, it was umami! Fried spring rolls were crispy and good flavor of meat and vegetables inside. Together with their house lime chili sauce, it was a party in the mouth! Looking forward to their opening at their next location!

(I also paid using the online services, but I did see someone paying in person.) I was drawn to Bazar Eatery when I saw they had Laksa; I ordered the Seafood Laksa. Ever since I had it in Singapore, I've been hoping to find somewhere that serves this soup. It was nice to find somewhere that serves it, but it doesn't compare to the flavor of the laksa I had in Singapore. (Maybe it's a different variant of the dish, but I preferred the more coconut heavy broth flavor that I had over there.) I still enjoyed this dish overall though. I also tried the Hainanese Chicken. It really wasn't anything amazing, but this could be due to the dish being served with regular, white rice; they had run out of turmeric rice for the day. I also had the kumquat sparkling drink. The menu notes it's sour, but I didn't think it was overly so. It was still more sweet than sour in my opinion. I enjoyed the drink, and it tasted like they used real fruit rather than artificial syrups. I think the portions are a bit small, particularly in the case of the Hainanese Chicken, but it's nice that they served complimentary shrimp chips. Service came off as genuinely welcoming/friendly, even if we weren't checked on after the food came out.

    Back Door Bistro, Vacaville: 2026 Jul 10 (4.29 of 5)…read more Ladies Gathering!! The service here is a 4.5 of 5. We had different servers who attended to us and they're both friendly and looked cheerful. We got there towards the end of Happy Hour and was presented with their Happy Hour menu. The menu is small, easy to read and has almost everything we'd want for that time of day - including the drinks. The food is a 'hit' or 'miss'. Here's my review: Drinks: Both the Arnold Palmer and the Cadillac Margarita were good. My lemonade tea wasn't overly sweet and I could definitely taste the lemonade. The pitcher of Cadillac Margarita looks innocent but may give someone a slow and powerful buzz if you're not used to the drink. (4.75 of 5) Charcuterie: This a complete appetizer board. Overall, there were some hits and misses, however, we agreed this is a well thought out appetizer board. (4 of 5) Crispy Brussels Sprouts: This is the best dish here, featuring deeply caramelized, dark golden-brown edges and a nutty, earthy flavor. Their Crispy Brussels Sprouts is also the best we've had. The seasoning is on-point, allowing the texture to show off its crackling, crunchy bite on the outside, contrasted by a tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior. (5 of 5) Seasonal Tacos: "Oh WOW!" The explosion of spicy and tangy flavours balanced by contrasting textures makes this dish "pop". (4.75 of 5) Beet Salad: The colours were lovely, but this beet salad was over-salted. The vibrant dish featuring beets as the main ingredient, balances the earthy sweetness with contrasting textures and flavours. If this wasn't too salty, it would have been more refreshing. (3.75 of 5) Coconut Lime Bouillabaisse (halibut, jasmine rice, spinach, snap pea, pickled shiitake mushroom, coconut lime broth, basil oil): Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Bouillabaisse means seafood. The only seafood we noticed were chunks of halibut, which were delicious. This dish looks and tastes more like an elevated Thai soup dish that cost too much. (3.5 of 5) After walking in, we decided to sit outdoors because of the loud music that was playing. We're glad we did. The overhang on the veranda was well positioned with plants and flowers softening the cement walkway. The weather was pleasant - with a gentle breeze blowing down the corridor. Parking is easy if you arrive early enough. One last note: Back Door Bistro in Vacaville was featured on "Check, Please! Bay Area"
