Fried rice was yellow rice with some onions, very sad rice with no flavor at all. Hardly traditional fried rice. Was given a 25 minute estimate. Got there at 20 minutes and waited almost 30 more for my order. The huge tub of brown gravy they give you is ridiculously large for the amount needed for the entree and scalding hot temperature. The container it comes in has a lid that is impossible to remove without spilling the full sauce all over. There are no sauce packets out for you to grab like most Chinese take out places have and when the bag was handed to me all sealed up I assumed (wrongly) that they had thrown some sauces in. My bad for assuming. They did throw fortune cookies in. Ugly: The General Tso chicken was inedible. The unrecognizable chunks of "chicken" were so stringy and tough and full of cartridge more than half of them could not be eaten and had to be spit out. The sauce also had no heat (menu shows a spicy symbol) and really no flavor like traditional General Chicken you would expect. Our total order exceeded the amount ($21 before tax) listed on the menu for 3 free crab rangoon which I asked for when I ordered. When I got there they charged me for the rangoon but I didn't notice that until I got home. This is our 3rd disappointing visit in a row. I realize it's the only Chinese in town and everyone in Bethalto loves it but it's really sad that it doesn't live up to the hype.

I also ordered crab rangoon and it was, by far, the worst I've ever had. The crab rangoon was clearly made sometime in the past and then re-fried. I don't like to complain, but they were pretty disgusting. After a couple of bites I offered it to my dog, and he didn't even want it. No huge deal, I thought. Just order an entree and not the crab next time. Until I woke up the next morning with uncontrollable food poisoning out of both ends, if you know what I mean. I have to wonder if they only make food once per day and let it sit all day long, and then only heat it up when they get an order. I don't know. All I do know is that despite the entree being delicious, I'm never going to order from them again because I am sure the food poisoning was from that meal and I really don't want to go through that again.

The buffet with my hot tea cost me just under $15 after tax. I think it was a pretty good bargain as I had a full plate of teriyaki chicken.
