Marian's Mexican Restaurant

This place is a small hole in the wall that is amazing! The service is excellent, and the environment is absolutely great. They put on entertaining shows if you'd like tv while dining in, beautiful visually with decorative Chinese art, I loved my visit and will definitely return! Not only that, but authentic Asian hot sauce, its rare to come by at restaurants. Love this place!

Fast and delicious. The spice green bean chicken was quite good. Both the chicken and green beans were tender and had a good texture (nothing overcooked). The white rice isn't anything to write home about, but the sauce went a long way to fixing that. Extra large portions for a great price.

Their food is delicious, and thier service is great ❤️

First time customer. Ladies were so friendly on the phone. We ordered orange chicken, spicy szechaun-wish it was spicier (could also be my long covid taste buds that go in n out whenever they please, they're currently on the fritz) the meat was so tender though, pork fried rice and chicken lo mein. We also got a complimentary half order of crab rangoon because I was on the fence. They were on the cooler side so they weren't as crunchy, but I would order them again to try. Everything else was fantastic. Some places use too much I'm guessing sunflower oil, I'm not sure, and it tastes like chemicals, but not this place and this was all the great flavors but tasted homemade. Didn't feel sick or too full afterwards, and I made 2 plates at home. We spent $55, and the portions are a whole Styrofoam clamshell so definitely 4 to 8+ servings per container, the lo mein was even more, depending on how much you serve yourself. Great job, I will definitely eat here again. Thank you.

I love this place been coming here for years! Great service great prices. No hikes on prices and no small portions. Amazing taste quality and the atmosphere is amazing. Servers are all nice no matter who you get. 🙂 love it here will continue to return with no hesitation!!

We are in town from Iowa and my little girl wanted Chinese. This place did not disappoint. The family is so sweet and know all of their customers by name. She greeted everyone that came in for takeout and had a personal conversation with each one. Food is generous portion size and veggies are flavorful and crisp. They make everything to order. When we come back to town we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

My sister was here last week to get us dinner. I have to say the best dinner ever. They really know how to cook. I had to come back and try more stuff on the menu. Service is awesome and prices really good.

Im a very observative person and can be very skeptical about certain restraunts but I will say the staff makes you feel comfortable and very welcoming, its a small dining area but overall there food was delicious i love there "house chowmein " it wasnt oily as other restraunts . We also had there shrimp fried rice that was also really good . Also my partner and I shared plates because of how much they add on which is a plus for us .

Food was AMAZING and I would absolutely recommend the fried chicken wings! The best I have ever had! In fact this is the more superior Chinese food place I've been able to find in Fresno and the service was amazing as well. Our waitress even bagged our leftovers for us! The amount of food you get for the price is an amazing deal!! I recommend this place 100% and will be returning!!!

Delicious Asian Food. We odered bean sprout, kung pao chicken, spicy mongolian beef, asparagus, brokoli, fuyunghai, rice, and pan fried noodle. The taste was delicious, even though some part of the spice was quite the same (teriyaki sauce maybe?) But this resto was recommended, especially the price was definitely affordable. Plenty tables and the service was fast. Love it!

Both the orange chicken and the teriyaki beef were very tasty. The lady at the desk was very helpful with our order and the kitchen crew prepared it in just a few moments. The serving size of each dish is enormous, it feeds easily 2-3 adults.

We had our team here of 5 people here and ordered a family meal and extra plates. The food was great!! Here is what was left!

First glance it looked boring, but first bite was delicious! The noodles were crunchy and soft the sauce was sauces but not greasy, the vegetable s were soft and still had a crunch to it. Looks are decevieing but this was delicious 😋🤤 I've had other chop suey chow mein before and this beats the competitors ! My new spot so glad i tried it 😃 the owners were friendly and welcoming as i came in through the door. Will be a returning customer!

I’ve been going here for years!! I absolutely love their food and staff.. It’s always tasteful and satisfying.. And they actually put meat and SHRIMP in my special chow mien unlike other Chinese restaurants... And they’re always so friendly and welcoming

The server was friendly and very attentive. She treated us very well. The orange chicken was delicious.

This restaurant has some of the most friendly workers here! I locked myself out of my car tonight and the people there helped me by offering hangers to unlock my door! Thank you Kar Wah! You guys are amazing and have great food to boot!

Food is great, portions are huge, very nice employees. Priced reasonably.

Wanted to try a New Chinese restaurant. Me & my 3 year old got the orange chicken, noodle pork fried rice plate (was big). It was delicious 10/10 we will definitely come back .🥰

Food was plentiful, priced affordability, and delicious. Our servers where wonderful and we will now make this a yearly part of our time in this area.

One of my best kept little secrets. I love this place, yes you do hear them yelling in the kitchen. That's always a good sign especially when it's a little hole in the wall. The food is really good, portions are huge. Orange chicken has this thing about it that is just so so good. We had a ladies night at my church, it was Chinese food night. They do make food made to order. They will customize your dishes according to Your dietary needs, without problem, comment, or complaint. Always with a smile. I brought some of their chicken chow mein with extra veggies. Everyone loved it, I was getting text messages asking where I got the food from. Honestly I really didn't want to share, I was a little afraid that it's going to get too busy and I may not have the same food and service, but then decided, they deserve better, and I should just share. I normally buy take out (which is a separate entrance around the side towards the back of the restaurant), but I have dined in. Like I said, little gem.

The food was tasty and plentiful. Will definitely go back. We had a little picnic plus had enough for tomorrow's lunch.

Broccoli beef, Kung pao beef and general tso's chicken! Best take out in a long time! Forgot the photos but will be back!

Ordered general tao chicken and teriyaki chicken plate. Food was pretty good. Teriyaki chicken was dry But the general tao chicken was great! Service was good and have gone back three times since then. Inside seating, could be better, but I would recommend to anyone!

Good food at a great price. Love their Kung Pau Chicken and Mongolian Beef. We usually do the take out. Always good service whether we dine in or take out. Nothing fancy, just good Chinese Food at a great price!

The service was great as well as the food, on the lunch menu I tried the sweet and sour pork, it was very good, side order of shrimp, hot and yummy, the hot mustard wasn't the hottest I've had but good. My next visit I had the BBQ pork ribs on the dinner menu, a couple of dollars more but the portions we're larger, added the pot stickers, freshly hand made and the entire meal was great, both meals there was plenty of leftovers for another meal at home. Would take my family there for lunch or dinner.

My husband and I ordered the cream cheese Rangoons, the orange chicken plate with noodles and the beef brocalli with fried rice. Unfortunately we did not get the fried rice and recieved double noodles. The food was okay for our first time ordering.

I'll sit down and eat here again. Peaceful. Made hot 🔥 served when made some deep cleaning needs to be done and a slight smell in the air. authentic if that is what you are looking for. good Chinese food standards 👌 ✅️ service was ready to get to work and polite.

We have been going to Kar Wah for many years. The food is pretty consistent and hot and fresh. We typically dine in and the service is fast. On our most recent visit we ordered the family dinner for 2 that includes several items to share. My favorite here is the almond chicken and my husband likes the Mongolian beef the best. On occasion my food has been a little salty but for the most part it's always good and we will continue to frequent this restaurant.

Intensely red, booth filled Mom & Pop Chinese restaurant. Floral wallpaper combined with dark red leather and dark wood seating gives a cave-like impression. Doing the most with the space means narrow walkways and tight corners. Unexpectedly, the main entrance with the hostess counter and cashier is on the side of the building, not the door facing the North Marks Avenue parking lot. Menu has standard favorites as well as noodles cooked with various styles.

The chowmein was very good. The fried rice had a slight burnt taste to it. The orange chicken was good but I needed more sauce but that's on me for not asking for more. The service was great and the food came out within 10 min. It was 13.75 for the plate I got which is not bad and they give you a lot of food!!

1 o'clock lunch and food tasted like food has reheated but luck warm. Mom had sweet sour pork with noodles and the sauce was the only thing hot. I had egg food young with chow mein, fried rice. All tasted cold. Will not return anytime soon.

Fresno style Chinese food: big portions and low on flavor. I should have asked for it steamed. The pork fried rice was just pork. I was hoping for some vegetables in it. Free refills on the drinks. Service was great. I would have preferred there be no TV on the wall blasting the news the whole time. But it is a cute decor. Very 1950s Chinese restaurant style.

I wasn't as impressed this time around. Normally I would give 5 stars. The portion size was good, taste was ok, rice was a little mushy and dry, and the shrimp was overcooked . This used to be one of my favorite spots.

I ordered takeout today from this establishment and was very disappointed. The chowmein and fried rice were burnt and overcooked.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I discovered a roach crawling out of my drink, indicating a severe infestation. Please ensure you thoroughly inspect your food and beverages. This is utterly unacceptable and disgusting restaurant 🤮

They lost a regular customer tonight. We will not be back. The service was really bad, I did not leave a tip and I do not ever remember ever doing that. Sure I understand laxed service when a place is real busy it is understandable but we were the only ones in the restaurant. Sure there was take out but we were the ONLY people dining in!!!! My wife loves Chinese food so we will be finding a new place that is convenient.

Trust me, go to Hon's! This used to be a staple of ours a few years back. We decided to have takeout a little less than a week ago. We got the sweet and sour pork and the pork fried rice. The pork fried rice was absolutely tasteless I'ts not even really fried. You know what I mean, it was all soggy. Make sure not to use their soy sauce, it's horrible. The sweet and sour pork was about the worst I've had. I had maybe two pieces in a large order that weren't chock full of gristle and fat. The grease sitting on top of our stomach was about the grossest we've had and affected our sleep, definitely time to change that oil. I don't know who your supplier is but your product is absolutely horrible! We won't be back. 20+ years... You really need to redo that antiquated sit down area. It was falling apart years ago.

I came today 09/09/23 at around 630 pm and orders over $40 worth of food. The lady only gives me one soy sauce and I say can I get extra and she says I can only give you 3 more. Like what am I supposed to do with that? If you go to any other Chinese restaurant they are happy to give you soy sauce. How is giving me extra soy sauce hurting you ?

Earlier I ordered a regular fried rice and they gave me the pork fried rice and they didn’t write it down and they said they forgot all about it right after I told them not to give me that pork fried rice and they told me just take off the pork instead of replacing it so I’m definitely not coming back to the restaurant again

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Over the years this place has went down the drain. As you can see I ordered #11 the orange chicken plate but they gave me fat pieces of orange chicken and the rest rice. The rice tasted like it’s been microwaved over and over. I took only 2 bites I wouldn’t even feed this to a homeless person. They are lucky they live across town or I would of took my behind right back over there. Waste of time and money !! This was right before they closed around 8:30ish. So Unless you want a plate full of microwaved fried rice I’d suggest you take your money and time else where.
