The portions were a good value for the price, and the soup and salad were especially enjoyable. The meal was satisfying, and the restaurant had a comfortable atmosphere.

The staff were polite and provided good service, and the restaurant was clean and well maintained.

Overall, Smalley’s Roundup Restaurant was a good dining experience with good portions, friendly service, and a welcoming environment.“

“Lovely experience in this restaurant. It's my first time having Pecking Duck in CA and it's the best. The first time I had this beautiful dish was in Texas and I thought I would only be able to have it there. But this place totally exceeded my expectations and matched it. The egg tarts were so flaky with the custard having a beautiful texture full of flavor and not overly sweet. Just how like desserts. If I'm ever in Salinas again, this is where I will come back to eat Chinese food. Oh and the Chinese Broccoli amazing!“

“Massive portions at a very reasonable price (even for California!). They give you more meat/proteins than they do rice, despite the affordable prices. Overall the flavor is good, and the meat is tender, but some things on the menu (such as the chicken katsu) fall behind compared to others. Either way I would absolutely recommend this place, especially if you’re just trying to get some affordable protein.“

“If you have the pleasure of meeting Kevin and his family you’re in for a treat. Best Tri Tip in town. Good music Amazing wine. Highly recommend“

“**Aloha Hawaiian BBQ Review**

We stumbled upon Aloha Hawaiian BBQ by accident. We usually place orders for pickup from another Hawaiian BBQ restaurant in Salinas but, in a rush, we placed our order at Aloha instead. I didn't realize the mix-up until it was time to pick up our food and noticed the reviews while entering the address on Google Maps. My heart sank, as the reviews were significantly lower than other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants we frequent.

Long story short, we had our food and were thrilled! I don't understand why this restaurant has negative reviews for their food quality. Unlike many other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, Aloha's food isn't overly sweet. The mac salad nicely seasoned, the chicken katsu sauce was savory with good consistency, and the chicken katsu and musubi were perfectly prepared, portions

The portions were good, providing great value for the price. I've been to a lot of Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, both on the mainland and in Hawaii, and this place is excellent. The savory flavors really stood out and made for an exceptional meal. We will definitely be returning to Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. Highly recommended!“
