Hao's Kitchen — Restaurant in Merced

Our favorite has always been china cafe. However they sold last March, and it's just not the same. So we are looking for a new place. I googled places in Merced and Atwater and this place stood out. So as our first time trying it we went ahead and ordered the #2 family meal. Our favorite is orange chicken, and it was not on that family meal so we went ahead and added one to our order. The drummets were out of season so they offered a different appetizer. 👍🏽👏🏽👍🏽 Our order came with, chicken chow mein, pork fried rice, steamed rice 🍚 shrimp and vegetables, garlic chicken, broccoli beef. I asked for two chow meins and no steamed rice. So she said how about no appetizer and no steam rice, and chicken chow mein no extra charge. I said great!!!

We took it home to share with the rest of the family. We loved it! I gotta say the chow mein and broccoli alone were worth the entire meal to me! Everything was tasty!! However the chicken chow mein was by far the best tasting chow mein I've ever had. From Fresno to the bay I can assure you, if you try this place you won't regret it! Flavor burst galore!! The orange chicken was crispy and saucy. I felt it was slightly lacking in flavor. However it could have easily been the over burst of flavors from the broccoli and chow mein before that, it may have thrown me off. I'm telling you!! Yummyness, gooder, and bestest were all words thrown around the table 😜 😀 My family and I really enjoyed it and we will be happily returning...

HORRIBLE!!!!

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this place to my worst enemy the food did not look good whatsoever. Very small portions, also very greasy looking. Not at all what I thought to be ordering. The establishment kitchen was very dirty. From what I could see, had I known prior I would have not wasted my time nor money. Being that I did placed my order byvphone so I had NO CLUE HOW DIRTY the establishment eas and when I say dirty I mean FILTHY! I actually did not take the food that I purchase once I had got a look at the kitchen. Yes! I still purchase the food but left the Box on the counter due to the horrible customer service and the condition of the restaurant....By the way the person who answered the phone and took my order was very short tempered with me over the phone, but I let that slide. So when I came in to get the food I was treated VERY bad very rudly VERY and I know FOR A FACT that it had everything to do with my race with me being a young black man WHICH IS SO SHAMEFUL SMH....But yes I can go on and on about this place TRULY I CAN! So I will stop rambling now smh and give my recommendation.....So All In All I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT AT ALL!!!.....Due to the cleanliness of the restaurant, quality of the food and the horribly rude customer service I give it to 0 Stars⭐, 2 Thumbs down👎👎, and...

During my latest review of Hao's Kitchen in July 2021 this place is cash only. That's okay with me as I still carry cash. Looks like the place is still owned by the same owners, another star for that. The friendly young lady that helped me with my order was fantastic. I wish I would have asked her for her name. However the food was just not as good as I remember it from when I was younger. I also saw people sitting at tables waiting for their meals, but I never once saw a staff member wiping down the area after the customer left. Be careful everyone one and stay safe. The attached picture is order number C-4. Don't worry the Sriracha was...
