8. The Great Wall Restaurant

Reviewed By WheelingTraveler
This restaurant is across the street from my hotel during my stay to the Monterey area. We ordered some typical Chinese chicken vegetable and broccoli beef dishes. The chicken dish was okay but the beef dishes were just too sweat not typical of traditional Cantonese or Mandarin preparation. We did not explore their dishes further after our first dinner there. The portion was not big too so we do not recommend this restaurant based on price, quantity or quality.

Went here based on a recommendation. This is a small place with about 5 tables and counter seating. Atmosphere is noisy with 70's music playing the day is visited. Food was very good as was the service. The tempura was outstanding. The restaurant is cold inside. Myself and other customers even discussed it. Will I go back? Absolutely with a warm sweater.

This is a gem, situated in the historic downtown of Monterey. The food is awesome. We tried Sunday special, lunch special (red snapper teriyaki set), tempura udon and takoyaki. Each one of those really make our palates sing! Barley tea, hot and cold, are provided at no charge. Only drawback is that the place is small so that the seating area is small. We are lucky we got a table on time for our meal.

This is the first review I have made where I didnât even review the meal. That was because the host (possibly the owner) was so rude to argue that âTHEY DONâT take reservations⦠when in fact we actually talked to someone and had it confirmed. When I say rude, he actually started a verbal fight with our group, it got so ugly, that we left and took another couple out with usâ¦. They too were mortified at how we were being treated. WE were then outside the restaurant on the sidewalk finding a different Thai restaurant and this guy opened the door and started yelling again and told us âNEVER Come Backâ That was actually funny, not only will WE NEVER go back⦠I can only assume half of the restaurant that heard the yelling wonât go back eitherâ¦. And hopefully someone reading this post choses a different restaurant. Monterey has so so many good choices, I wouldnât spend a penny of my hard earned money at this place ever again. Ok, I think this has been my worst restaurant review â¦. EVER!

4. Sapporo Japanese Steakhouse

Reviewed By KimGTravels
Our family has enjoyed numerous birthday celebrations throughout the years at Sapporo, both inside the main dining room as well as in the festive Hibachi Room. While dining at a table, typically sharing seating with more than your party, Hibachi prepared food is a culinary and artistic experience where the Chef prepares your meals on a hot griddle, which is an extension of the table. Entertaining, artful food preparation, humor, tricks and explosive fires will delight and amaze all eagerly watching, resulting in laughter, camaraderie and a memorable, festive dining experience. If it is your birthday celebration, you will be serenaded by the staff, much to your embarrassment or delight. This is a fun adventure and the delicious resulting meal makes this a must do! Try to gaze up from the table to appreciate the marvelous views of the Harbor and Monterey Bay.

I was staying at the Comfort inn next door to Chopstix and was hungry, so I walked over and crossed my fingers. This was a wonderful place. The staff was friendly and helpful, even though it was prime dinner time and they were all swamped. The Pho Ga was tasty and fresh. I also ordered the the Vietnamese egg rolls which were also very good. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's good and convenient to all of the hotels in the area.

This small restaurant has a variety of the Thai dishes one would expect but some interesting variations. We tried the "Gulf of Siam" seafood dish---kind of a Thai bouillabaisse with the necessary spicy kick. Delicious. The Tom Yon soup, at even the medium spiciness level left our lips pleasantly burning. A great find in Monterey.

We had good sushi & service walking distance to our hotel. We werenât starving so found this place out of convenience thru Trip Advisor.Food & service was good, 5 min wait. Lacked decor as 1 un-inspired room but satisfied what we needed, just a light dinner.
