    Which place was a traditional Chinese food lunch place service was OK. I don't really have anything great to say about the visit but that doesn't mean I have anything really bad to say it was just a Chinese food place. Me being from Chicago. We take Chinese food very seriously this did not satisfy my Chinese food craving that I have been going through. I Have a couple other places on my radar that I'm hoping satisfied that craving. One negative to this place as they did not have the traditional gravy on the egg foo was very disappointed. It was more of a syrup sauce not a gravy. But overall, I think service could've been better and one other weird thing is they did not have any knives so to spend a lot of my time trying to cut my food with my fork.

    Love them. Their sesame chicken is amazing love the crunch and sauce. The beef sticks are so good and caramelized and has great flavor. Love the crispy edges. Potstickers aren't my fave nor the egg rolls but the veggie spring roll is very good.

    Great service. Quiet atmosphere. Awesome food. convenient location in area that is underserved.

    Orange Chicken 1 Pork Egg Roll 8 Crab Puffs

    Feedback Little to no filling in the crab puffs Rice tasted very odd Pork egg roll had no pork Chicken had nice crunch Sauce tasted off like the rice Review time How are you gonna charge eight dollars for crab puffs and have no crab or cream cheese where the puff at that rice tasted like you was using old dishes to cook it. Take pork egg off menu if you have no pork . Y'all owe me an apology

    No gravy

    I've been coming here for 9 years, but after this visit, I might just stop eating out altogether. While the food still tastes good, the portions have significantly decreased--they're about half of what they used to be--and the prices have gone up by at least 15%. To make matters worse, there was no gravy in my food today. I'm really disappointed. I don't get to this side of town often, so when I do, I look forward to this meal. Usually, the plate is piled high with rice, lots of vegetables, and is overloaded with meat. Unfortunately, that was not the case this time, and it's really sad. Customer service is still great I got triple crown lunch portion

    Kung Pao chicken. I excluded some vegetables. This dish is very tasty and has a nice cake to it.

    Fast and friendly service. The food is really good. I recommend the beef egg foo young, the Kung pao chicken and the Wong Tong soup.

    this place was nearly a 30 min drive from where i live and let me tell you it's 100% worth it, the food was hot and fresh, everything tasted delicious, the only thing i didn't like here was the soy sauce it's wayyyyy too salty so make sure you add one drop first so you can finish your dish, so i got the kung pao shrimp lunch special which came with that egg drop soup and the kung pao with rice on the side, the sauce for the kung pao was spicy and flavorful, on the spice level i would rate it a 5/10 spicy, overall experience was a 10/10 the customer service was quick and very attentive the whole time, this place could use a lil more lighting it's really dark in there

    Do they use MSG Do they have an option to not add Soy?

    Hi, we don’t add MSG individually; but however we use soy pretty much on all of our sauces as base. The soy that we order from the company has tiny bit of amount included. If you are highly allergic with MSG, we don’t suggest you to order. Thank you… Read more

    This place is a gem!…read more Our problem is that each dish is better than the next. We think we know what we want to order when we walk in. But, we'll see something new on the menue, and it then becomes our new favorite. ANYthing we order has been outstanding. The service is very friendly and very helpful. They are very accomodating. The atmosphere is not fancy, but it is clean. While eating there, I always say. "I can't wait to come back." Just writing this review is making me yearn to eat there now, and I just ate there two days ago. If you have a favorite Asian restaurant that is different from Old Town Taste, I challenge you to try this restaurant. I am confident it will become your new favorite.

Parking was a breeze and seating was spacious. I like the interior a lot and the service was quite good (seeing that it was only one person taking down the orders and cleaning! very fast for that). For the food, we ordered chicken fried rice, fragrance tender beef, fish-flavored eggplant, boiled fish with pickled cabbage, and dry fried green beans. All of these dishes were yummy, in particular, my parents love the boiled fish with pickled cabbage and fragrance tender beef. I do think there is solid sichuan spice flavor. This is a great place to get Chinese food in Arizona :) **something to note, there might be a heightened salty flavor in some dishes so be wary haha We always visit!

Okay, they might not look the prettiest, but they were very tasty and juicy. Then we ordered the Spicy Beef, Tripe & Tendon; They were flavorful, not too spicy, and had a slight sweetness that we could taste. We also ordered the Sour & Spicy Chicken Gizzard, which was perfect with rice. We also got the Salt and Pepper Fish Fillet, and that ended up being my favorite dish; Crispy, flavorful, and not overcooked at all. We also ordered the Hot and Sour Soup and the Beef Stew Noodle Soup. Both were delicious. We really enjoyed our meal, and this definitely feels like a legit spot.

I had been here while I was in college years ago, and the place looks totally new inside. It's more modern and light than the previous dark red aesthetic it had before. It was a fun new vibe. While we all three split the food, we each had leftovers to take home. My favorite was the spicy schechuan chicken which left a tingly feeling in my mouth but had the best taste! I liked how crispy the chicken was. Our server came around multiple times to refill my water which was great. We sat and chatted for a while which they had no problem with. There's plenty of tables inside which are big if you want to bring a larger group. This is a good, tasty, casual spot for dinner.

The soup dumplings are decent, but they are frozen, which kind of just seem like false advertising because on the menu, it says something about 16 hour long broth. The skewers are just okay too. The Mapo tofu is a fucking death trap. There is so much mala in it that my mouth was buzzing and it taste medicinal. And before anyone says that it's supposed to taste like that, it's not. I'm Chinese and it's not supposed to taste like CHM. Also, they charge for water and while that's not illegal, it definitely is scummy.
