Opal - San Andreas

Limited menu. Order came out very slowly. It 's family style, so I would expect the food would be served at the same time. However, each dish was served to us separately. It was on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was only half full. We ordered the lobster laksa noodle soup, but the order was messed up two times. It was the second dish that came out, but turned out the corrected dish came out last when everyone was somewhat full. Walnut shrimp and sea bass were over cooked in my opinion. BBQ pork is too salty. Despite getting the wrong order, service was good though. The receptionist would call ahead of time to make sure high chairs are ready. However, given the price, I would expect the food quality to be better given vast options of Chinese food in the SGV area.

We came here once before and had a pleasant experience so we thought of coming back as a large family get together. Unfortunately the experience was not the same. The food came out cold. There was one dish that was particularly bad, the chili garlic chicken. Our orders were mixed up with other tables. There was also a very loud celebration that went on the entire time we were eating and could not hear each other speak.

The service is quite poor. The waiters/waitresses only talk to themselves and not waiting on the tables.

The food was not as good as our previous visit. Noodle is hard, undercooked. Fish is not that fresh.

Finally an upscale and beautiful Chinese restaurant to take relatives coming from out of town to. Food is good and service is way better than most Chinese restaurants in the area. Pricey though
