5 /5 Sam d C: If you are looking for a surprisingly good meal in an AMAZING location, this is your place! And, let’s be honest; Vallejo may not have many gems, but this is definitely one of them.
My wife and I had lunch on a Saturday in early October 2025, and were surprised by the quality and the prices. Our lunch, with two mixed drinks came in at about $60.
My wife had the hibachi chicken while I got the short ribs and rice, with a fried egg on top. The hibachi chicken, with rice and fresh steamed veggies (which is a gluten free option!) was a bit smoky and garlicky … YUM-YUM! My short ribs and egg and rice were also very delicious, especially when I poured the rice vinegar on my rice which kicked up the flavor profile a notch or two. And the margarita and Mexican mule mixed drinks were the perfect accompaniment to wash down our scrumptious lunch.
The biggest bonus though, is that you can arrive by boat (no, that is not a typo!), tie up at the dock, and enjoy a great seat outside looking over Mare Island and the SF ferries, and the Napa River. There are not a lot of places around where you can arrive by car and/or on foot or by bike and by boat, but this is one of them.
