Good, not fancy, Cantonese Chinese food. Good service and friendly staff. Ambience is good. Restaurant could use a more modern update.

My mom and step dad visit this place weekly and absolutely love it. I came for the first time this week. It was really good! And the price is really reasonable. For my mom and I to get lunch which Includes, rice or chow mein, an entree, an egg roll and a cream cheese puff it was $26 for both of us. The food was really good. It didn't taste salty or greasy. It was a large amount of food as well. There were plenty of people having lunch, so it's clearly a pretty popular place. The service was great too. They know my mom and came up and chatted with her. It was nice to see they remembered the customer. If your in the area, make sure and give this little place a try. read more

Exceptionally good service here. From the moment we walked in, the hostess greeted us and let us sit anywhere. Our server was also very polite and provided us with great service. She was very detailed and brought us more napkins, more water, and extra plates, without me even asking! As if she knew what I was thinking. I ordered a Sichuan Beef lunch special plate with chow mein, and my mother had lemon chicken with fried rice special plate. Our server brought out the plates within 5-10 minutes after ordering it. Food quality was good. I really liked the Lemon Chicken, the Fried Rice, and both me and my mother really liked their salad and soup. The Chow Mein was a little more on the wet side than I had liked, and the Sichuan Beef wasn't spicy at all. But couple of things. One, you could have asked the server to tell the chef to make it very spicy which I did not know how spicy the dish was going to be since this was my first time ordering it. Or two, just ask for hot chili paste and she will bring a bottle out for you which was what I did. Ambience was good today. Again, we did come later in the afternoon so good chance we missed the busy lunch crowd. Easy to get to location Just right off Peabody behind Weinershnitzel hot dog place. Parking lot can get full here though. Please look at my photo for lunch special menu. Overall I give this place a 4 star rating. Though some dishes weren't quite like I was expecting, the service and staff, pricing, and overall casual ambience was very comforting. read more

Best Chinese food in town. Been there since I was a kid. Can't beat the lunch specials read more

Hometown classic American Chinese is kind of like a car brand- once you find your fave business you just.stick.with.it (loyalty) So this has been our family spot in Vacaville since the early early 90s. What we get that we love: - combo house chow neon - combo fried rice - Sweet n sour chicken - Broccoli with beef (side of white rice) - Egg rolls - Wor won ton soup Honestly - I'm wired to like their chow mein (noodles are perfect thickness I vent stand overly fat noodles or the skinny dried ones that are served in the mall and burned to a crisp) read more

The food is always great! Cooked fresh. And the customer service is great too! It has a nice family atmosphere.

Ordered one of the family meals for delivery. I was told 45 minutes and the order arrived fresh within 20 minutes! Huge portions and the food itself 7/10 read more

So disappointed! I was expecting the quality I had almost a year ago. I ordered *Sesame chicken (chefs special) which really was sweet and sour chicken with a little bit of sesame seeds sprinkled on it *egg foo young that had an extremely sweet sauce instead of the brown savory sauce *wor wonton soup with the veggies that were uncooked and the wontons were very doughy. Even the chicken mu shu had such large chunks of chicken in it that it couldn't roll up in the rice cake without out it tearing.I will not go back or ever recommend Wah Shine again. I ordered over the phone for pickup and she read it back correctly so it's the quality. I raved about the food here again so disappointed . read more

I can't recommend this place. It used to be quality food with large portions. It has definitely gone downhill. Small portions and food is not good. I'll be heading back to China House next time I get Chinese. read more

Just a quick review of a take-out order I placed yesterday: hot and sour soup, extra spicy. Funny as it sounds, I felt compelled to call in this order to Wah Shine literally as I was driving to Panda Express for a quick dinner. Wah Shine has been a neighborhood favorite for many years, and there's something about the hot and sour soup that always brings me back. I order mine with a little extra kick, but it's full of tangy flavor and good portions of tofu, chicken, vegetables and prawns. Ordering was easy; I placed my name and was given a quick 10 minute pick-up time, which allowed me to swing by on my way home no problem. Payment was also easy with friendly wait staff, and because the restaurant has a to-go table set up right at the entrance you can be in-and-out quick. So for what it's worth, even if you don't have time to dine in their comfortable, family and group-friendly restaurant, Wah Shine has your back for tasty last-minute orders. Perfect for a weekday night of takeout and a movie. Three stars only because it was just a takeout order. read more

Wah Shine - Hot-and-Sour soup, extra spicy, with chicken, prawns, tofu and bamboo. Tasty, and about a 3/5 on heat. - Chinese Near Me - Vacaville, California

The food was delicious! Everything we ordered was very tasty. We ordered kung pao chicken, sweet and sour prawns, pork fried rice, egg rolls and Rangoon. Jennifer was our server. She was friendly and accommodating. She helped us pick the best items on the menu. The rest of the staff was on top of the water refills, which was awesome. Great place for authentic tasting Chinese food! read more

We've been coming here on occasions, especially during Halloween. It became our family tradition to have dinner here after Trick 'o Treating and whenever we're craving for Chinese cuisine. This restaurant has been a staple in Vacaville. Mind you, this is the only Chinese restaurant that has the most awesome and friendliest owners and staff. They remember their customer no matter how long it's been since you came in, and when they ask how you are, you can feel the sincerity. I always feel at home here. I also love the warm and cozy atmosphere of the place. When it comes to food, the taste is on point. I love every dishes I have tried on the menu. And this day, we've got Chicken Corn Soup, Double Bean Curd in Spicy Garlic Sauce, Orange Chicken (sauce on the side, because one of our kids love the plain breaded chicken pieces), Mu Shu Pork, Chicken Chow Mein-no vegetables and plain rice. As expected, all dishes are savory and delicious! read more

This place has become my Chinese restaurant of choice in Vacaville. So good and over the top great service. Love this spot

Friendly service and the food is tasty. One of my go to Chinese restaurants in Vacaville

OMG! This is by far my favorite place in the world to get Chinese! I started going to Wah Shine when they had there restaurant in Citrus Heights, Ca back in the 1980s! Same menu, same GREAT FOOD! I drive nearly two hours each way in traffic to get my "fix"! If they had a restaurant near Roseville I'd eat there every single day! The restaurant is normal Chinese Restaurant vibe, nothing "FANCY" but clean & well kept! Large tables and booths. Very fairly priced! Now, on to the FOOD ..... I recommend the egg rolls, pork pan fried pot stickers, BBQ Pork Chow Mein, BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Sweet & Sour Chicken, all of the soups & appetizer's, but my two FAVORITE DISHES that I can only get here.....DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....the Peking Beef and THE HOT PEPPER CHICKEN DICE (it is only listed on the lunch menu but they will make it any time by request, and I say REQUEST!!! But BEWARE! They will tell you it's spicy and that is an understatement! I always ask for it MILD with an extra side of the thick & delicious Sweet & Sour Sauce (Trust me, if you accidentally eat one of those death peppers, the S&S Sauce helps the pain in your mouth! Let me clarify....I LOVE CHINESE FOOD! Breakfast -Lunch -Dinner- ANYTIME! I try every place that doesn't have a health department warning on it and from Eureka to San Francisco Wah Shine has my 5 star vote! You won't be disappointed! read more

Ordered ahead for pick up to get some combination fried rice. Restaurant was about half full at 1:30 on a Saturday. My food was ready earlier than expected and I was in and out in less than five minutes. As you can see from the picture, it was HEAPING with food. Everything was really tasty and worth the price for about $10. Definitely will be coming back to try other foods and to try dine-in! read more

Wah Shine - combination fried rice to go - Chinese Near Me - Vacaville, California

It's a hit & missed. Last Friday, I was craving for MoShu for it reminds me of our fresh Lumpia. I decided just to call for take-out. Kinda hard to read the Menu order in the Phone so I asked if they have the $12.99 Special for dinner. Came to find out it's now $19.99 for 2 choices. So I picked beef broccoli & chicken almond that comes in Wonton soup w/ rice or fried rice. Fried egg rolls & cheese puff. And Moshu as side order. Total of $60 including tip. For some reason the food I got was bland & not too good. When I got there food was ready & I took the take-out Menu. I saw that I could have just upgrade my order with Moshu by adding a dollar instead of paying more than $10 for a side order. To sum it up I don't go back to a Resto that I can cook better. It needs more seasoning to make it flavorful. read more

Wah Shine - Even the fried rice not tasty & up to now we still have the left-over. Hardly touch, most of the time it's the first thing the ran out. - Chinese Near Me - Vacaville, California

I've been eating here for well over 20 years...and it's still amazing and they are still amazing! I love the cheese ragoons!!! They've been there for over 40 years so that tells you all right there...it is amazing! read more

I haven't been here for a while but Im usually satisfied. Some pros about my recent visit 01/2021 -the hostess that took my order was great, she allowed me to tweak my order -pickup was on-time -food was great. I prefer the honey walnut to be more crispy (I requested to me crispier but that didn't help). -each of the containers were heavy with food (I loved that) it was enough for 2 meals. Probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in Vacaville! read more

Love that they have lunch specials with egg rolls, soup and can get fried rice. There are ton of options for the lunch special and the price is very reasonable. The food is always tasty and comes out fast and hot! Service is always great as well. Not sure if they make their own noodles but their noodles soups are also worth there price! There's no way I can finish all of it in one sitting. read more

Very impressed. We stopped in for lunch. The service was impeccable. The food was really good. It was served quickly and a healthy portion that was fairly priced. There were 4 of us, we had lemon chicken (5/5), sweet & sour shrimp (3.5/5) and sesame beef (4.5/5). The fried rice we all preferred over the lo mien but the lo mien wasn't bad. There were some other folks we talked to who were local and said they come there all the time. Definitely will be back again!!!! read more

This is my Go To place for some great food! I make it a point to pick up their Won Ton soup when I am ill or don't want to cook LoL I am in Vacaville several times out of the month and make it a point to grab a small container before jumping on the freeway. Additionally they also have other entrees that are Amazing! I had dinner the other night there. And was promptly seated. Water was quickly served as we were sitting and orer was taken withing 3 minutes?!?! I think I blinked, had a few swallows of water and Boom here comes the order (seriously 5 min tops!) They must have all the recipes memorized or something?!? I was pretty impressed and even more when we all gobbled up all of it LoL! Cant wait to come back! read more

Just go! Now I understand the 4 star rating! Enjoy yourself some delicious Chinese food and Great service. I get skeptical about Chinese restaurants but they definitely know what they are doing. Place is Clean! Food is above your average Chinese spots and they got cocktails!!?? Brruhhh read more

Such a nice place. The service was outstanding. Try the chicken chop suey. It was full of vegetables and delicious.

A good go to place for Chinese food. I still recommend this place but double check your order before you leave because there is a language barrier here and if you order fried food that claims to be crispy or you want crispy food make sure you tell them not to put the sauce over it because that's what happened the last time I ordered crispy shrimp and I got soggy fried shrimp because it was placed in a sauce that was not described on the menu however it was delicious but not what I was expecting. And that's why I gave them three stars along with the fact they tried to give me noodles instead of rice but I spotted it before I left. Give them a try the food is good and the staff is friendly. read more

I ordered the Chicken and vegetables with chow mein on the lunch menu. The food was by far the worst Chinese food I've ever eaten. Tasteless other than the sodium in it. However, the service was on point. The servers were attentive and courteous. The prices were reasonable and portion were generous. If the food was better I wouldn't hesitate to go back. Until then nah. read more

Three times within two months I found metal shrapnel in my food! I talked to Ricky the owner, and he said it was from the scrub brushes that they cleaned the pots and pans with. He didn't seem very concerned. My point is, even if there was metal from whatever they were scrubbing the pots and pans with if they had just rinsed them well there wouldn't have been metal in the food! They were just in too much of a hurry to rinse the pans. I like their food, but I won't risk swallowing metal just for good food. read more
