10. Chan Pheng's Mandarin Cuisine
Reviewed By ESS_lover
A few months ago, I was craving Chinese food and my husband suggested a few restaurants. We had tried a few other local places and had been unimpressed. Then he remembered going to Chan Pheng's a few times for lunch and said they were good. I called and ordered the New Dinner Special. The food was ready for pickup when I got there, was not very expensive and there was lots of it. Large servings. Best of all, everything tasted very, very good and has no MSG in it. It's not greasy and the quality of the food is much better than other Chinese restaurants I've been to in the area. Chan Pheng's has now become a frequented place for us.

My wife & I regularly get our sushi & sashimi fix at Ojiya, and there is nothing to compare with in the Chico area. Generous portions of excellent fish, prepared with care by Mary and her friendly staff, never fails to deliver a satisfying meal.

We ate here Thursday January 3rd; It was surprisingly good! The staff was friendly and provided good service.My friend ordered the chicken Obento (don't add box, it is redundant) and I had appetizers: Japanese fried chicken, Eggplant tempura spicy tuna tacos, & Coconut shrimp.The obento was plentiful and very tasty!The appetizers: 2 shrimp split into four pieces as a bit expensive but good, JFC was pretty good too.. but best of all were the Eggplant tacos! Who'd of thought you could make tacos from eggplant tempura! Although I'd have added more choices of fish (shrimp, yellowtail, scallops,octopus, etc.)I did not order sushi, because being from L.A. we have a larger selection and what I normally eat was not available... so that was a disappointment.I did make one suggestion, for them to add a BSCR (Baked Scallop California Roll).

There are other options, but for intimacy, ability to carry on a conversation, fun seating, freshness of items on the menu, and price, this place is the leader. Its in a strip mall location next to Kinkos, but exterior visages belie the wonderful experience inside. I tend toward sushi, sashimi, rolls, and ngori, but lots of bowls, grills, and other stuff.

Well we got there fairly early 5:45 on a friday and had to wait about 30 minutes, but it was worth it. They have a ton of great choices, fantastic service with a smile and a unique sake with tequilla infused in it, that tastes like a margarita. We really enjoyed our dinner and had three unique rolls, tempura veggies and great miso soup.Just call ahead and get reservations as this is one In demand sushi spot on the Esplanade.

We visited our college son and brought him here so he could eat something other than typical college faire. There is a variety of meats (beef, chicken, pork, lamb) and vegetables to select or have some of everything. The only limitation is the size of the bowl, although you can go back for second and thirds if you desire. The last selection before you hand your bowl to the cook is the oils and flavorings. I thought I had added several ladles of the various oils, but it wasn't enough. The cook advised me it would be dry if I didn't add more. So I added several more ladles. While waiting for it to cook, he told the group behind me to add at least 10 ladles full. The meal includes spring rolls and won ton. Everyone left happy and full.

Consistently good and fresh, even after waiting 30 minutes on Friday night for a table. Our favorites were the cashew chicken and vegetable fried rice with tofu. Not so fond of the Genghis Khan Beef - it was shredded or ground up (we expected actual strips of beef). Plenty of parking in the strip mall lot.
