We have been going to this warm and delicious restaurant for over 16 years. The food is delicious and fresh. It’s a perfect place for families to enjoy their meals with Renee always welcoming guests with her warm welcome.
My favorite Chinese restaurant! Come back from San Diego just to eat here. Get the lemon chicken!

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to - delicious and delicately made organic Chinese food. Light, flavorful, healthy and all delivered with Renee's lovely smile in an elegant atmosphere. With options from Vegan to roast duck, an ideal place to bring groups with different dining needs.
Elegant decor, clean, beautiful place to dine! A great and intimate place to celebrate birthdays. Greatly appreciate the offering of Lundberg rice- which I have found nowhere else. Loved the wild rice! There are many and varied options to choose from on the menu and we will be back to try more!
I was very impressed with Renee's Place. The veggies tasted very fresh and were seasoned perfectly. The staff is amazing and they make you feel very comfortable. They have a lot of vegan options as well.
This restaurant was incredible! The food tastes so fresh and the service is outstanding (I felt like I was at a fancy, multi-course meal). Truly the best Chinese food I’ve ever had!
I've had quite a few great meals here but what I get the most is the sizziling rice soup. It's our go to when anyone gets sick in our family. Such a nice clean broth.
Absolutely amazing food with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. A cool hack is you can order just about anything on the menu with faux meat. So if you don't see something you want in the veggie section of the menu, just ask!
Delicious food , friendly service , and some incredible rock cod soup. They had a special okra dish when we went which was also great so make sure to ask about the specials when you’re there.
Renee’s is the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. If I could give it 100 stars I would. Go here it’s so delicious. They have great prices for the food it’s amazing.
COME TO THIS RESTAURANT! I’ve been a patron since childhood. The staff is so sweet and friendly. The food tastes fresh and delicious. I see this place often quite empty. But I ate there recently and it’s amazing. Please keep small, family owned, establishments like this alive!
I have been coming to Renee's place ever since I was a child. The food has consecutively been quite enjoyable and the staff pleasant. They have also been quite accommodating to my dietary restrictions as well as my sisters. I would highly recommend this restaurant a visit.
I went here last night with my partner and my daughter and I’m so glad we did because it was awesome! Honestly the best Chinese food we’ve have since moving to the area 3 years ago. Everything is super fresh. My daughter ordered vegetable fried rice and there were actually hearty and fresh veggies in it! Im a vegetarian and ordered the “imitation” sweet and sour chicken. Normally im not big on fake meats but I’m so glad I got this because it was absolutely delicious. My very meat loving partner even liked it. The staff is extremely welcoming and very efficient. We will absolutely be back here and highly Recommend you try it!
Rennes place has been a wonderful place to eat for years. My family love the food it is exquisite. We will continue coming here for our Chinese food. My son loves the pancakes and my daughter loves the thin noodles.

We had not had dinner here in a couple of years, until last night. I saw the new menu items page with the "Tea-Smoked Duck and had to try it! It was worth the drive in the Winter storm to try the generous serving of Half Duck!
Wonderful and elegantly presented Chinese food in a calm and beautiful atmosphere. My picture doesn't do it justice but their walnut prawns are airy and crisp, the crispy duck is well seasoned and tasty, the garlic kale is bright green and tender, and the brown rice is blended with wild rice and is beautiful with a great texture. There are very few restaurants on Solano that are conducive to a quiet conversation. This is one of them. (The others seem designed to amplify noise -- maybe I'm just just losing my hearing!?) The owner is very friendly and remembers us every time. Have been coming here for perhaps 20 years!

Tasty Chinese home cooking. Really, "home" - family cooks and grandma and grandpa sit at tables nearby. I think their beer is a loss leader - cheap tasty German imports for $4.50

The quality of food has gone down a lot, we used to like this place. It was empty on a Sunday, and it seems they don't have much business anymore. We ordered two types of fish and they were not fresh, have to send them back. Not coming back. At least the eggplant with garlic sauce was still good.

Service was so slow we felt forgotten. 4 other tables, seated after us were served before we were. The "mound" of Chinese French Fries" was literally a small enough number of fries to count on two hands. No toes necessary (for counting). They were not fresh, not crispy, and not hot; and there was nothing "Chinese" about them. The rest of the food was the saltiest I think I've ever had in a restaurant and serving sizes didn't justify the $11 price tag. Terrible experience all around. We'll not be going back.
We picked up food, it was very disappointing. Tea smoked duck was overcooked and very dry. Mu shu was very overcooked, pancakes were old and dry. 12 dumplings in one small container were all stuck together and mushy, filling was flavorless. Fried rice was very bland. I called and asked for some money back and they wanted us to drive food back, we never got money back. I will NEVER return.
