I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed all of the food. What an underrated find. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Chinese food, but everything I have eaten here is pretty top notch. This is the perfect place to have a family dinner or a nice meal with a big group of people. + Roasted Duck: Crispy skin, juicy meat, and perfectly seasoned! Not overly fatty. This is a must order! A classic dish. + Fish Fillet with Broccoli: Very tender fish with a light salted sauce. Very simple and refreshing. + Crab Meat with Fish Maw Soup: Pretty bland and just tasted like egg whites. I had to add a bit of soy sauce. I wasn't too impressed, but they do give you generous portions of seafood. + Beef Chow Fun: SO GOOD! Tenderized beef, perfectly cooked flat noodles, and seasoned very well. Not too oily or salty. Bean sprouts were nice and crunchy too. + Walnut Shrimp: Big shrimp! The perfect amount of batter! Crispy and has a tangy mayo sauce. Addicting flavor with the candied walnuts. + Iced Milk Tea: Pretty decent! It has a pleasant black tea taste and it has a very light milkiness. Great deal for $3 :
Recommend it. Good Chinese food. Prepared when you order it. Tasty food and fresh food. I ordered the BBQ combo, 2 good sized portions, I got the duck and pork with fried rice. Really good. And we also tried the pot stickers and orange chicken. Good choices as well. But I guess they are know for their steamed wonton, different varieties. Parking can be limited. And the service was good, but wasn't to consistent. But give it a try.
Our first time dining there. Great service. The food was decent. The place is big and clean. We had Dim Sum for brunch. We ordered house fried rice, steam Chinese broccoli, steam chicken feet, steam shrimp dupling, steam beef tripes and it was just enough for 2 people. Nothing left to take home. Parking: Plenty of parking space. You park on the side of the building and the entrance is facing University Ave.
Overpriced meals, one meal may be suitable for two to three people. The amount of Two platers is not large. It’s one of the few Chinese cuisine restaurants in the UC Riverside area. But I may have other good choices of the Chinese restaurant in other places.Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: NoTakeout: Yes
Food tasted wonderful! They didn’t have the carts going around, not sure why. Which is slightly unfortunate if you don’t know what anything is called. There weren’t any photos on the menu either. But anyways, the food tasted great regardless. It was also quite empty for a Sunday brunch time, which was weird but I’m not complaining about that lol. Overall, the food was great so it was a good time.
I ordered seafood vermicelli noodles, string beans, egg rolls and king pao chicken. It’s been a while since I have been here but the food was still good. The chicken and the beans were really good. The noodle were okay but I have had it better from the same place before. The service was quick and the staff were courteous, very efficient. All in all, a good lunch.
It almost feels like a discovery of a hidden gem to us! We're so used to all the Asian food in the SGV area, we have very little expectations as far as authenticity out here in Riverside. We were very much pleasantly surprised! From food to service, this is a superb place to entertain your fancy of Chinese cuisine! We tried different varieties of food offers on their menu, from typical southern Chinese 'dimsum' to the really spicy 'fish in chili oil' of Northern Chinese favorite; so far, they are just as good as their peers in SGV area if not better! Oh boy! We ordered more than we needed, and were in danger of over indulging! Thank goodness for 'to go' boxes.
HOME. It's the type of Chinese restaurant i grew up in - every family event, occasions - it was the gathering place to make happy reunion memories. So finding Big Sky Bistro is like a time machine for me. Their food are the same exact offerings during my childhood. My mouth is watering. If it wasn't for doctor's orders i would be asking for ALL my childhood favorites. We are so happy Eddie the manager is so warm and understanding that all we could order was the congee and Siomai. Eddie is so personable, hospitable, and attentive. Our server Jessica is just as warm and attentive. She smiled and asked if the "donut" i requested would not go against the doctor's orders. The donut is cooked fresh, no sugar for us THANK YOU, but i dipped it in the mango pudding which tasted so PERFECTLY AWESOME! For me, Bug Sky is the place I will bring family and friends to bond over special celebratory meal with. DIM SUM is offered throughout the day, prepare your wallet.
Food was delicious. Definitely better than expected. Will be returning very soon. Forgot the name but the dessert in the picture was yummy. Tasted like a super soft empanada. Food: 5/5
Customer service is fast and friendly. Food is very delicious it did not disappoint at all. Everything is affordable. I split and order of bbq pork fried rice, steamed pork buns, Shanghai soup dumplings, and pork & shrimp dumplings with my wife and had plenty of leftovers. Total came out to only $35! Restrooms were a bit dirty and could use some clean-up.
