The service here is always amazing the employees are kind and fast. Nothing bad to say about the service at all. The ambiance is calm and clean but the food display next to the cash register at times has overflowing food, nothing too dramatic. The food is okay now, I recall a few years ago the food seemed a bit fresher specifically the chicken dishes like the orange chicken and popcorn chicken. Yes, the noodles and rice are always fresh yet today I went and got the teriyaki chicken wasn't the best. The taste is on point but the texture was really hard and seemed a bit stale along with dry. On the other hand, the butter chicken was amazing definitely give it a try! read more

Fong Lam Chinese Restaurant - Teriyaki chicken - Chinese Near Me - Coachella, California

Food was absolutely disgusting, I tried eating but could not. I will end up tossing it in the trash! I felt like I was gonna choke on the dry rice, orange chicken was nothing but hard sugar with hardly no chicken, the broccoli with beef was all broccoli with 2 small trips of broccoli. Just highway robbery. It was so bad, I ended up going to Andy's burger that never disapoints! read more

Passing thru town and Yelp had this within walking distance of the grocery store when we suddenly got hungry. It describes itself as buffet style, so we expected to go through a line and get our own food. It is actually cafeteria style, where you choose and they put it on the plate for you. A different experience. No biggie, just FYI. The options are simple; A, B or C, depending on whether you opt for 1,2 or 3 entree items. The prices are very reasonable ($10.95 for the most expensive option), especially for the huge portions they gave- our to-go boxes barely closed! Haven't had this kind of value in a long time. Thank you! read more

The salections are great very good food and good amount for the money.. well worth the drive

Was out in the area, and started to get some hunger pangs. Did a quick search and found Fing Lam was close by. the staff was super nice, the place was clean, and the food was looking quite good! Ordered a 3 entree plate, with orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, and shrimp with veggies. It came with noodles and fried rice. The portion was Gigantic! The container couldn't close because the food was so abundant. When I got home and started to eat I was really impressed. The food tasted great vegetables were fresh and crisp. Will definitely be going by again!!! read more

I found this place while visiting Indio and was craving some good Chinese food. I'm originally from Southern California and now live in Las Vegas, so I've been lucky to have plenty of great spots to compare to. Unfortunately, this visit really missed the mark. I ordered the orange chicken along with chicken and mushrooms, and my husband ordered the salt and pepper shrimp. At first glance, the plates looked like typical Chinese takeout, but the quality just wasn't there. The moment I took a bite of the fried rice, I could immediately tell something was off. It tasted old, and the flavor reminded me of oil that had been used to fry donuts--or oil that simply should've been changed a long time ago. The chow mein was bland and lacked any real seasoning or depth. I even told my husband, "You really can't mess up Chinese food," but this experience proved me wrong. The salt and pepper shrimp had the most flavor out of everything we ordered, but they only gave four small shrimp, which felt disappointing given the price and portion expectations I'm used to in Vegas and Southern California. I fully admit I'm spoiled by the variety, freshness, and generous portions I get at home, but even with that in mind, the food here felt rushed and low-quality. For me, food is more than just cooking and serving--it's an art and a direct extension of the person making it. Sadly, that care didn't come through during our visit. read more

Always amazing. Our families favorite. Been going here for years. Thank you for always giving good food. And big portions.

Very simple place. You pick your desired food option(s) at the counter and they pile them on top of two hearty sides of chow mein noodles and fried rice. The sides fill the to-go container. Then you pick one, two, or three mains that they somehow pack on top of the sides and still can close the container. I had the butter chicken and the orange chicken. Both tasty. My dad had the orange chicken and the sweet and sour pork. Far too much for him to eat at one time. He's pick and liked both. You can take out or eat in. I imagine this is the quality and food volume you *used* to get at panda before they went corporate. read more

Love this place! We go there almost every weekend! It's really good! Everyone is friendly and the food is amazing! 10/10

First time trying this spot, we wanted something quick, found this place on Yelp, it wasn't to far from the house. Establishment is located in a shopping plaza next to Sears store. Walking in, there was few people sitting and eating, I was able to walk up and order. I got a plate with 3 opting , beef and broccoli, organelle chicken, and chicken and broccoli with any corn glazed with teriyaki sauce. The portions is plenty, you can feed two adults for sure. The food was good no compliments , I would try them again and the prices wasn't bad at all I think it was $12 something. read more

I was here 4/29 and the service was outstanding! The worker (older asian lady) was so incredibly sweet. I had my two kids with me to get takeout and she carried my food to the car for me so i could open my doors and get settled. Portions were huge, i got 2x option c (three entrées and a side ) it was around 12$ plus four eggrolls and a large drink. Total was $38 . Tasted great , took me awhile to get to my husbands work were we were going to eat together and chicken was still crispy , food warm. Was a great experience 10/10 read more

I love these fast food quick to order restaurants. The amount of food that you receive is definitely 5 stars but the food gets 3 stars. I ordered a two combo meal and they packed it to the top, lots of food and enough to share. The taste and quality was okay and the food needed more flavor. The chicken potato was not flavored properly and the potatoes weren't cooked all the way. read more

***Delicious*** Chinese food. Excellent value for your money. They PACK the box with food, so much food that it pops out of the box lol. It's hard to find a good Chinese place in the valley. We are so happy we found Fong Lam. The ladies that helped us were all so nice. Highly recommend; we will definitely be back! read more

I came here on a Sat morning as I was craving Chinese food. We are in La Quinta for the weekend and I dropped my husband off at Indian Wells for a day of golfing. I got to the restaurant around 10:40 and ordered a two item combo: chow menu, fried rice and broccoli with beef . I agree with the other writer that the chow mein and fried rice lacked flavor but I'd pick this option (under seasoned/under salted). I fixed this easily with the soy sauce and hot sauce packets that came with the meal. No biggie - it was great and tasted much better. The serving of broccoli with beef was huge. No actually had two meals. The broccoli was perfectly cooked: crunchy, fresh and huge. The beef was tender and I got 6-8 pieces. The meal I received was fine - I think the broccoli and beef was better here than Panda Express. I would certainly come back and recommend if you want a quick, inexpensive, opens early Chinese food option. read more

Food is great. It's why we come all the way to Coachella for it. This time though, service was horrible. The employee that served us had the worst attitude and no respect. I only bought food for my mom. I completely lost my appetite. It's a shame that this great chinese food place hired such a rude person. Don't bother coming here until the employee changes her behavior read more

Just went back after being gone for 7 years living in Chicago and the portions are still the same as ever A LOT. Will go back even my fiancé loved it read more

This is always my first stop for Chinese food! Their service is great. When I go, I will not be there longer than 5 mins. I usually get it to go because the inside needs little work. Now the food is always fresh! Their orange chicken is delicious! I usually get fried rice and chow mein with orange chicken, teriyaki chicken and beef broccoli. They always give BIG portions! For $7.99+, it is a good price! You can even share the plate with someone, that's how big the portion is. Overall, if you are craving some good chinese food and want to get full, this is the place! read more

Chow mein and fried rice is yummy!!! The beef from the broccoli and beef is chewy which sucked. The lady working coughed on my food when she was serving it. They have a fee if you pay with a debit card. The lady that was working did not seem happy. A bit overpriced but they do have a good amount of food. read more

Fong Lam is by far the best Chinese food place in the valley! The portion sizes are huge and everything is always hot and full of flavor.

No other place compares to Fong lam, the food is great and the price is better! read more
