Gahhhhhh Rossssssss!!…read more I have had terrible experiences eating in, but have always been able to get Hot & Sour soup and Poo Poo Plater and it has been good. Not any more. The PooPoo Plater comes with Eggrolls, Wings, Fried Shrimp, Crab Rangoon, Meet on a Stick and Pork Ribs. All of it was soggy, greasy, nasty tasting and small ( the wings were 2.5"). I tried re-frying the deep fried items but the quality could not be improved. The Hot & Sour was neither and just gloopy. I have said it before, I will say it again. Don't Go! Don't waste your money. We will not go back ever again.

The wonton soup had cabbage in it I don't believe that I've tasted that much cabbage in a soup. The chicken was the same as most other Chinese food in Colorado Springs, it doesn't blend together. I could taste each part of the dish separately. Even the service was sub-par. We sat there for a while once we were done and no one came over until we went up to get to go boxes. I don't recommend this place.

**Ambiance** The…read morerestaurant itself is a decent size with plenty of seating and large booths, so it would be comfortable for families or larger groups. **Service** Service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The staff spoke English as well as either Cantonese or Mandarin, which initially gave me high hopes for the food. **Food** I won't lie--I came in with pretty moderate expectations. After chatting with the staff in both Mandarin and Cantonese, I thought we were in for a really authentic meal. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We ordered five dishes, and it quickly became apparent that the food is heavily catered toward American tastes. Several dishes contained ingredients that traditionally wouldn't be included, while other key ingredients were missing altogether. The biggest issue for me was the sweetness. Three of the five dishes were noticeably sweet, which isn't what I expected from the dishes we ordered. The standout dish of the meal was the Mongolian Beef. It was flavorful and wasn't overly sweet. That said, it lacked the spice I typically associate with the dish. The Mapo Tofu was probably the biggest surprise. It was missing the ground pork that usually gives the dish so much flavor and texture. Instead, it included bell peppers, onions, and water chestnuts--ingredients I've personally never seen in Mapo Tofu. Rather than being spicy and numbing, the dominant flavor was sweetness. The Chicken Pan-Fried Noodles were difficult to enjoy. The sauce was very sweet, and the noodles were cooked to the point where they were tough and chewy. Instead of the thinner noodles commonly used for this dish, they used thick noodles that reminded me more of lo mein. We also ordered a Beef and Scallion dish. It felt more like a beef chop suey variation with scallions added. The scallions themselves were cooked perfectly, but once again the sauce leaned much sweeter than expected. The Hot and Sour Soup was actually the first item to arrive. I jokingly told my family that if the soup wasn't good, I might be worried about the rest of the meal because hot and sour soup is one of those dishes that really showcases balance and technique. Unfortunately, it ended up confirming my concerns. It lacked the bold sour and spicy flavors that make the dish so enjoyable. By the end of the meal, we had a lot of leftovers. The only items we brought home were the Mongolian Beef and a few pieces of beef picked out from the Beef and Scallion dish. **Overall** This restaurant may appeal to diners who enjoy sweeter, Americanized Chinese food, but it wasn't for me. Based on this visit, I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't personally recommend it to anyone looking for the flavors and dishes I grew up eating.

The three breaded chicken dishes were all over cooked. They were so crunchy they were hard to chew. The "fried rice" was as bland and not very hot. The steamed dumplings were not steamed enough and the dough was still soggy and they weren't hot. All of my complaints deal with how the food was prepared. Maybe the flavors would be great, had everything been prepared properly but since it wasn't, there is no way to know. Ivy's was a huge disappointment, and despite all the high reviews, I would never give Ivy anything more than three stars and quite honestly if the service had not been so good. I would've given it a two star rating.

We ordered the appetizer platter and it had 2 of each of an array of apps, fried wontons, truly homemade eggrolls, crab Rangoon and chicken kebabs and beef on a stick. With an array of sauces too. We also got wonderfully tasting jasmine tea and she brought two cups for us to both have the teapot. For entrees we shared the phenomenal orange chicken. It came with orange peel cooked into it and a side of peeled fresh orange which was so delicious to cut off and add to a bite. The chicken was such nice quality white meat and very fresh and super crispy. The orange sauce was perfectly sweet and savory and lightly orange-y. I'd definitely get it again. We also had kung pao beef and the beef quality was also very fresh, and tender but perfectly cooked and it was not like 90% of Chinese places that soft but chewy beef so common to find. Because of that I must must must go back and try the orange beef. The sauce flavor was deep, rich and a little spicy, just as hoped. As I was eating I told my partner, I think this is the best American style Chinese food I've ever had in Colorado and that's true. Rivals anything in NY or San Fran. Everything was perfect and every detail was pleasant. 10/10 highly recommended and will be back to bring friends. It's a gorgeous drive to a wonderful little restaurant.

In hindsight, the one-star reviews appear to have been more accurate regarding the overall experience. If you are looking for more authentic cuisine, this may not be the right fit, as the flavor seems to be more Americanized in its approach. The soup lacked depth of flavor, and the dumplings had a texture more consistent with frozen rather than freshly prepared items. On a positive note, the service was excellent, and the restaurant itself was clean, well-maintained, and inviting.
