First, I should be fair, It was on Christmas Eve! They didn't seem prepared tho and the place was…read morecompletely packed. The staff was overwhelmed and I think they ran out of everything. We ordered to go we had to wait an hour and a half to come pick it up and then waited at least another hour at the restaurant to get the food. Some people said they were waiting two hours. The flavor of the sauces were good, but each dish was missing most of their main components! Overall, there was barely any meat in the food. Mongolian beef tasted good, but there was like four pieces of beef in there, the Kung pow chicken was all peanuts and celery. The pork egg rolls were all cabbage and some had spicy mustard in them and others didn't. The crab Rangoon and orange chicken were good and the fried rice was ok. The chow mein was very sad it had literally two noodles in the whole thing. It was all bamboo shoots, onions, and celery. I think they just ran out of everything and we got the bottom of the barrels. Very disappointing, especially for Christmas Eve. The sauces showed potential but don't go there on a busy night and don't Order to go! Having said all that I would try it again like mid week when they're not busy to see what the food is really like.

We were so happy to find this place and the owner was so nice and helpful! We went today, which is a Saturday, and there was no one in there for lunch!!! This place is way better than all the busy Chinese restaurants and I still can not believe that it wasn't packed in there!

I grew up eating here with my family because it was always the closest Chinese restaurant to our…read morehome. I recently moved back to Sparta and was excited to come back, but unfortunately the food just isn't what I remember. The staff have always been incredibly kind and welcoming, customer service has never been the issue, and that's still true today. Everyone has always been friendly, which is one of the reasons we kept coming back over the years. Unfortunately, the food quality the last two times I've been has been really disappointing and doesn't compare to how it used to be. I spent around $40 on this visit, and both meals were lacking sauce. The chicken was somehow both dry and fatty, and the rice was overcooked and slightly mushy. I ordered a combination platter and asked to substitute fried rice, which they've done for my family many times in the past. Instead, I received a regular entrée, so I didn't get the egg roll that comes with the combination platter. I also ordered a small egg drop soup but was given a large container, and the soup itself was so thick that neither of us could enjoy it. I'm honestly disappointed because I remember this place being much better. I don't mind paying $40 for a good meal, but this wasn't one. Unless you're a local who doesn't want to make the 20-minute drive down Alpine, I'd recommend making the drive instead. Even Empire Buffet has been more consistent in my experience. I hate leaving reviews like this because I've always had positive interactions with the staff, but the food quality just isn't comparable to what it was years ago. I hope they can get back to the level they used to be because I'd love to become a regular customer again.

The prices were reasonable for EGR and the portions received. We will definitely stop in again:

The store supports the local schools with all the posters hanging up. The food is MSG free. Things that taste good that you should order: crab Rangoon with a side of sweet and sour sauce, seafood combination, garlic chicken, chicken lo'mein, and sesame chicken. Things to avoid: Mongolian beef (not tasty at all), some of the egg rolls break in the oil and don't cook properly, and their sweet and sour chicken is dry with sauce on the side to dip in. I prefer their white rice to their fried rice. This establishment is not updated. It has the same furniture probably since they've opened. Most people get takeout.

We came to the area our own this time so thought we'd finally give it a try. I was undecided between the Pad Thai which I almost always get the first visit somewhere and the drunken noodles. It's kind of my gauge to how good the place is because I figure if the can't get this dish right I can't expect the more complex ones to be. We ordered the Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles and the summer rolls. I'll start with the summer rolls. We typically see them with shrimp and the menu didn't say anything otherwise. There was both shrimp and chicken in them, and they were quite large and loosely wrapped. 2 for $8 was steep though considering the chicken was tough and the shrimp was strong tasting. I couldn't make myself eat them. My husband managed to eat most of one. They came with what was obviously a jarred sweet and sour sauce -another disappointment as peanut sauce is so much better and what I was kind of expecting as that is usually the norm. The drunken noodles had a nice initial flavor but the heat was more than expected for medium. My husband and I always get medium for Thai dishes and typically they are just right or a little light in heat for us. This one they had been a bit generous with the heat so much so that it was almost hard to eat. It said there were a variety of veggies but it really only had green and red peppers. There was a decent amount of chicken in the dish. There may have been some green onion but only a couple of pieces, it felt like it was enough so they could say it was included even though you had to hunt to find them. Last to the Pad Thai, my typical initial gauge for a new to us Thai place. There was a generous amount of noodles, but were on the verge of undercooked. It couldn't figure out the flavor, but they were quite sour compared to any I've had before and I'll have to say it didn't do it for me. I would say they were almost eating wha I would call sweet and sour noodles if I was to give them a name. There was no richness or depth to the flavor at all. Again the items in the noodles were sparse at best. Very little chicken in this one, a crumble of egg, and I think I saw like 4 bean sprouts.. not acceptable for $15. They did have the required peanuts on the top though. Oh, and a slice of lemon, something else I'd not seen served before with Thai food. I had high hopes at this being a great place to visit when we are in the area since we love Grand Haven and I love Thai food but this ain't it. Bummer. So sad.

Bangkok taste is a staple in Jenison…read more We love it for their curries. Usually my husband and I will split their curry pad Thai. We usually opt for the vegetarian option here as I do not like the taste of their meat (chicken or beef). I do not mind their tofu (fried) and we like their veggies. They have different levels of spice and we usually opt for mild because my hubby has a sensitivity to heat. However, if it's just me, I might level up to medium. That (to me) is fire. I will be sweating, emptying the water carafe and blowing my nose about half way through. lol. As long as we stick to what we know, we are never disappointed. Happy to have some Thai in Jenison and it appears to be well supported... mainly through takeout. Although, there is a small dining room inside if you want to be waited on.

The chef was knowledgeable and engaging, but he was in a hurry. We are long term patrons of Kazumi and we were disappointed a bit. The food was good, but the experience we anticipated was lacking. There was little of the usual enthusiasm we were used to, very little interaction with the guests and the chef appeared to be in a big rush to be done; so much so that the chicken I had ordered as part of my meal was missed.
