Chow-Ya — Restaurant in Lompoc

OK, so I’m going to go through and rate the different things I tried. First of all, service was impeccable. The lady that took my order and checked me out, was very nice and my order was packaged with care. One thing I thought was really cool was the fact that my fried items came in to go boxes that were vented with holes so they were still so crispy!! Literally a genius idea.

I ordered the chicken and beef bowl, the jalapeño shrimp bombs, and the gyoza. The bowl could have been better. I would have liked the rice better if it was sticker like most chinese/Japanese white rice is. The beef was good but nothing amazing. However I loved the chicken, it had a really good grill flavor to it and tasted great. The Miso soup that came with it was also really good. The gyoza were super crispy and had good flavor but I wish it came with a sweet sauce instead of soy sauce. Finally the jalapeño bombs were effin delicious. If you like tempura sushi rolls, you will love this item. It was soo crispy and fresh tasting! I literally devoured it and ate the one leftover piece I had the next day. They were literally 10/10 so good. I’ll definitely be back to try other things and get those jalapeño...

I love that 1/4 of the bowl had lots of fresh vegetables too. The baked lobster & scallop was just like a Baked Mussel Dynamite dish that you see or eat various sushi/buffet places. I also ordered the salad. Very fresh, very pretty too. The dressing was a ginger type dressing which was perfect for this salad. Lots of people were having soup so I will return &...

Came here after walking for 91 days so far....on my way to Seattle. Hands down one of The Best places I've eaten. The fresh oysters were supreme. The house Cabernet full flavored. The teriyaki chicken bowl - ingredients the freshest I've had them in a restaurant. Rice perfectly cooked. And you MUST TRY the red bean ice cream for dessert. No one could describe it to me. Best description I can come up with is "think red fruit, not strawberry cherry or watermelon". I'm totally fueled up n ready to continue on #walkingthroughthepain because...
