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.

Came here for dinner and I was so disappointed. Place was small and not crowded. We got combo #3…read morefor $80 something. 1lbs of king crab legs and 3/4lbs of head off shrimp. I also added a pound of muscles. The bag came out and I was excited but as soon as I opened the bag and saw the king crab I already knew I was going to be disappointed. The crab was so rubbery and it had no flavor at all. The shrimp wasn't too bad but it was definitely overcooked a little. The shrimp tasted better than the crab. The corn was the only good thing in the bag. The muscle came in a different bag because they didn't put that order in. But the muscle was good. They didn't bring out no scissors or crab crackers for us. We had to ask them for it. This is the first place that I've been to where I had to ask for crackers and scissors. I would not come back again. Not worth my $80.

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 made it here about thirty minutes before closing and made an effort to quickly order off their QR…read morecode menu/tab. (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.

The staff was nice though. They offered beers on tap but no fountain drinks. I understand places like this tend to use the spice as seasoning but I also feel like the chicken should have a base level of seasoning if that makes any sense. I'm from the south, not too far from Nashville, but this place definitely wasn't representing. Vacaville deserves better and I hope this kitchen steps it up.

The food portions are a good size, and you can always take leftovers home to enjoy later. We especially love sitting outside when the weather is warm.

In addition to this restaurant, the best part about this place is that this restaurant is located at the Nut Tree Shopping Center Plaza; And, there's a small children playground, a San Francisco themed Merry-Go-Around ride, and a Chu-Chu Train ride tour station outside, in front of the restaurant. Nearby this restaurant are the "Jelly Belly" Bean Candy Factory shop, Jamba Juice, and the Fenton's Sweet Ice Cream Shop. Across the street from this Fuji Sushi Buffet restaurant is the Vacaville Premium Shopping Outlet, and there are a lot of brand names stores to look around, and shop around in. This is a great weekend destination travel spot to make.

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"
