    Wor Won Ton Soup
    Colette Q.

    Very quick and efficient service. Food served quickly. Appeared clean and no flags raised. Our hungry group of four ordered (rating): PoPo Platter (3), Wor Won Ton Soup (4), House Special Chow Mein (4), Chicken & Vegetable w Garlic Sauce (5), Salt & Pepper Shrimp (5). The portions were not skimpy and we all left satisfied. We would come again if we ever go through Truckee again. (We dug into entrees so fast we forgot to take more pictures!!)

    Only game in town catering to non asian taste. Nice size interior for indoor dining. Fish tanks with no fishey's in the tanks. They really didn't have a whole lot on the menu that interested me, I settled on curry chicken, big mistake for me. The curry was spicy enough for me after adding some white pepper, no decent asian restaurant is complete without it. However one of the biggest turnoffs to me is white meat chicken, that particular part of the chicken should only be relegated to the garbage container or for animal feed, You get the picture I abhor white meat chicken. A proper Asian restaurant would not serve this meat for its ingredients unless it were the whole chicken like salt baked chicken or soy sauce chicken or any other chicken cooked using the whole chicken. The next visit, I will order the curry beef instead either that or bring in dark meat chicken for them to use instead. The positive is the curry has a very good flavour and a definite go to. The restaurant staff/owners were wonderful and very inviting people. Unfortunately if you are searching for authentic Chinese cuisine, you would be a little on the disappointed side, otherwise their food is reasonably good.

    We're looking for Chinese food in the area. We really weren't expecting much, after looking at the reviews. But, the food was really good!! I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're looking for something filling, and not fast food.

    100% yes to Buoy & Trap Seafood! Way to go Truckee for having an amazing seafood shop & restaurant…read moreto add to the plethora of amazing food choices. I didn't even know this place existed since I had last been back to town. It was an accident to find it, we were going for a trusted and loved sandwich at Full Belly Deli next door and were happy to see it there. We came in during the week for trappy hour, where we had the most delicious oysters, shrimp, and chowder. Plus some really great beer and wine. We liked it so much, and wanted to try more of the oyster types they had so we went back on Friday afternoon to learn they don't have the oyster deal on busy days. Which totally makes sense, it's an awesome deal-- half a dozen for $15. So on our second trip we tried the ceviche, crab cake slider, and hot butter lobster roll. All delicious and fresh as well. I have nothing but good things to say about the food and staff. The only thing to be aware of is the dining area in the shop is pretty small, but if too full the tables outside of FBD could be used. Next time I'm in town I'll be back.

The place has a bar stool counter top sitting a couple picnic benches outside to sit. We arrived around 3ish in time for happy hour.( Monday-Thursday 3-5pm) We ordered a few things of the HH and one Connecticut Lobster Roll. First of the seafood was amazingly fresh considered where we are. We ordered the following (HH) Half Dozen Oysters- Absolutely fresh and delicious 5/5 (HH) Trappy Hour Hawaiian Poke Bowl- Surprisingly this was delicious. Tuna was well marinated and seasoned.5/4 (HH) Crab Cake Sliders- This was great, all crab meat in the crab cake.5/4 Connecticut Lobster Roll- The lobster was fresh and sweet. The portion size of the lobster roll was perfect for the price. 5/5 Service was great and friendly. They have plenty of parking. Highly recommend giving them a try if you're in Truckee CA.

Happy hour: unfortunately, the head chef was out of town and the sous chef was unable to make two of the four items on the happy hour menu. This did limit what my brother could eat since he has medical dietary restrictions that prevent him from being able to eat gluten or dairy. He essentially could have nothing lol. There was a Wagyu slider on the menu and we asked if they could just turn it into a small salad with no dairy and they said yes! Everyone else also ordered the sliders as a happy hour dish and they were very good. The wine price for happy hour was on the pricey side with red wine averaging $15 per glass. I think in the future, I would skip happy hour unless all items are available to order and I'd stick with beer for a more affordable happy hour price. 2. Breakfast: a small group of us enjoyed breakfast together and this was probably my favorite meal. I loved the variety on the menu and service was very good as well. I had the breakfast quesadilla, my fiancé had the breakfast burrito, my dad had the Chilaquiles, and my stepmom had the avocado toast. She did wish that the avocado toast was made with a thicker slice of toast as this just looked like grocery store sliced bread. Outside of that, we all felt like our breakfasts had a great amount of flavor and would definitely recommend coming back. My brother and a few other families also dined here throughout the trip and mentioned their love of the restaurant for breakfast as well. 3. Dinner: our last meal as a family was spent here. Our server from happy hour the day before was our server tonight, so we knew it would be a great experience! She was on top of all our orders, friendly, and accommodating. While most of the food was delicious, several of us mentioned that our vegetables were undercooked and almost tasted raw. Too much crunch and not enough cook. That being said, I highly recommend ordering the bread, the Shishito peppers, and the steak. Those were our favorite bites of the night! Honorable mention goes to the soba noodles and the salmon. If it weren't for those vegetables, I would definitely order the salmon again!

The quality of the food, and the care that used to go into preparing and presenting it, has completely fallen off a cliff. During my most recent visit this week I noticed that much of the kitchen staff seemed to be different from the team I've seen over the past few years. The pizza was genuinely disappointing. The crust lacked flavor, the toppings were sparse and it felt like something that had been rushed out of the kitchen with little attention to detail. Even the presentation was careless, which was surprising because this restaurant used to take pride in what they served. It's frustrating to see a place that I used to recommend decline this much. I really hope the upper management takes a look at what's happening to the restaurant because the Old Town Tap I used to enjoy no longer seems to exist.
