I give three stars for the nice, helpful, and good people who work there and the friendly dining area inside. I have only eaten food from there twice and would like to try something more edible. I'm not sure the person cooking/preparing my food has the experience or skills necessary to support the restaurant. Also, it didn't taste same day prepared fresh. Don't give up. I like the convenient location. read more

Very friendly service & huge portions (tons!!!). The Chicken Egg foo young had tons of fresh veggies and chicken. My wife's Orange chicken was so much better than the Chinese chain restaurants. read more

Quick, tasty, and BIG portions just missing a saucy spark! Swung by for a bite and was seriously impressed by how fast everything came out blink and boom, food's on the table. Portions? Massive. You will not leave hungry. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken, and while the flavors were almost there, it could've used a bit more sauce to really bring it home. Also, the peanuts were just kind of... there. Not really roasted or adding much crunch. Not bad overall solid middle-of-the-road meal Quick, tasty, and BIG portions -- just missing a saucy spark! read more

This is my go to Chinese spot here in Utah County. It's always a perfect experience. Food is excellent staff is very nice. This is a must.

This restaurant is very typical of most of the Asian restaurants in the area. It provides large portions of food and has a good variety of various dishes. The service is good and the prices are good. Most Asian restaurants that we eat at aren't the cleanest looking and this was the same. But the food was good and we always have lots of leftovers. It stays pretty busy so we usually order to take home. read more

Excellent service. Fast and efficient. Large portions. Meals were fresh and hot. The wait staff was attentive and very friendly. We will be back. read more

My wife and I, ages 78 and 75, had lunch there today, Tue, Aug 2025., at 1:30 pm. We wrote this review for our friends, who read these reviews. We were instantly seated, there were 2 other couples. The waiter was friendly and did well. We later noticed our table was quite sticky, but didn't say anything. He did bring extra napkins. He immediately brought fried wantans and sweet and sour sauce, which was good. They have a "lunch special" for $12, but it does not include soda, which we did not also buy. I had sweet and sour soup, which was good, and she had wonton, which was also good, although the 2 wontons tasted sort of uncooked, like flour. I had orange chicken and ham fried rice, and she had sweet and sour, with noodles ($2 extra) The fried chicken was exactly the same and there was plenty for two people--we should have shared one plate. My orange sauce did not taste much like orange and her sweet and sour was not very flavorful either, which was quite disappointing. That would have made the meal much better. My fried rice was good, and her noodles were also pretty good. The vegetarian little fried burritos, what ever they call them, were also pretty good, very garlic flavor. Overall, lunch was mediocre, mostly because of the flavor, and we probably won't go there again, unless we are a little less hungry and want to split a plate, and we may try something else. Another "selling" point for me about lunches anywhere, is they need to include a soda, as I am not going to pay an extra $3 or more for a soda for lunch. read more

It was the busiest I have seen it before. The waitstaff did a great job with keeping everyone happy. There were at least 2 groups of 10 with multiple young children! Excellent service and great food! read more

Great fried rice and eggdrop soup, the Kungpow chicken is awesome too!!! Already recommending it to my mom and friends. Thanks!

Not very good food, very bland. The service was good. All the food we ate lacked any kind of spice. Would not recommend

There is not much choices for Chinese in this area, but this doesn't really hit the mark. The chicken lo mein needs love. Nothing but noodles and a little chicken. No vegetables. They give you a bunch, but they need to add to this dish. Beef and broccoli is maybe a 3. The sweet and sour may be their best dish I tasted, but it doesn't save the overall experience. You do get a lot of food, but not something I would crave. read more

The food is so delicious. Will come back. I got honey walnut shrimp! Yum! Dine in is ok.

All the food here tastes the same to me and is really lacking in flavor. Unfortunately it's still probably the best Chinese food in the area. read more

I'm gonna say it... this is better than Panda Express (No offense I still love Panda) This is the best Chinese place I've EVER been to. They have an amazing lunch special which I was able to try out today and so I got Sweet and Sour Chicken. I have recently became infatuated with sweet and sour sauce so this was just perfect. The whole lunch special has you pick a small soup (I loved the Egg Drop!), a choice between a cream cheese wanton or a spring roll, and then your main dish with a side of chow mein or ham fried rice. Everything was absolutely delicious and I am STUFFED! (Also the service was amazing!) thank you! read more

I really enjoy oriental garden in Salem. I really like the mushroom chicken and the lettuce wraps. I also love the won ton soup.

Great service amazingly fast when ordering online. Live to get the lunch special! And a great price for how much food you get!

Food is good. Iike the sesame chicken, beef lomein and the wonton soup. Also like the lemon chicken

Ordered shrimp in lobster sauce. To my surprise, it had imitation crab meat. Now, I've had my fair share of same entree elsewhere, and this was an odd combo, in my opinion. My first time here, walked in and 3 servers looked at me and noting. Like I was looking for directions or something. Lol. I'd ask if people sit themselves and I pointed to booth by window if I could sit there, they all nod. Minutes later, 2 Caucasian couples walked in within minutes of each other and instantly, with enthusiasm "Hi! Welcome! How are you! You here for take out!" I'm sitting here wondering, Why wasn't I greeted the same? Maybe they're regulars? Don't know. A refill was never offered for my drink, yet surrounding tables are tend to nonstop. read more

Pros: Very friendly staff. The food was delivered in a timely manner and they had good sized portions. The restaurant was clean and in good shape. If it was solely for these items I would rate 4.5-5 stars. Cons: The food. I don't know if I just ordered all the wrong things, but I was really disappointed. The hot and sour soup had a funk. My sesame chicken came out luke warm and really didn't have much flavor. The fried rice was bland and really lacking. My dad devoured his egg drop soup and raved about the sweet and sour chicken. So again, maybe I ordered the wrong things? read more

This is an okay restaurant. The food isn't bad, but it's not incredible. I liked my egg drop soup and my wantons. The rice was bland without any soy sauce, and the noodles didn't blow my mind. The food is 3 stars, but my service was 5 stars. As soon as I walked in they said hello and asked if I wanted to sit or have take out. I ordered after a few minutes of perusing the take out menu. The process was quick, and easy. It was cheap too, all the food I got (see pics) was only $6.45. The food was ready pretty quickly. All in all from when I walked in to when I walked out was probably a little over 5 minutes. That's counting me looking at the menu. I'd come here again. like I said, the food isn't incredible, but the service was. If you're looking for cheap, quick Chinese food this is the place. read more

Excellent service, great food, and super value! We order several specials and it feeds the whole family. We've been visiting here about once a month for years, and have never been disappointed. Thank you for a great quick option! read more

Amazing food! I highly recommend this place! Not the best ambiance but great tasting American Chinese food

If I could do 3 1/2 stars, I would. Pros: service, portions, price Cons: food is mediocre. Hot and sour soup has no mushrooms, pretty much everything seems to have a bland undertone, soy heavy. Not a bad place if you're hungry, they have great lunch and takeout specials. read more

Live in Payson and wife and I have been looking for a place like this for years! Friendly people, good food, great prices. Now I'm not a pro on if it's authentic but it hits the spot, the place is clean, service is fast, food was great! The ham fried rice was the only down side but still good. We will definitely go there again. Thanks for the good food and customer service. And not being like most places and ac7keeping you place clean! read more

Good food, low cost, large portions, and awesome staff. We love this place for a quick bite!

This place is amazing! We got Orange Chicken and LoMein noodles (in place of rice) and Egg Drop Soup. The amount was very large for the price, totally worth it! We shared one entree combo and still had some left. The orange chicken tasted like sunshine-the orange sauce was incredibly fresh with an amazing flavor and the chicken was perfectly cooked. The LoMein chicken was delicious, the noodles were the perfect consistency and the chicken was tender. The egg drop soup had an interesting thickness, the flavor nothing out of the ordinary but it was good! Great service too! They were slammed but were very friendly and conscious of their guests. Will definitely be going back! read more

We have come here many times because we love the fast service, great food and price! This time was such a letdown... The young, blond girl was awful!!!! She sat us, took our order and that was it. Never to be heard from again. She got our order wrong and when confronted by the other employee she acted like she didn't know what was going on. She was more worried about what was on the TV than how her customers were doing. We had to wave her down to get our drinks, plates, boxes and our ticket. What a joke!!! read more

This place has good Chinese fast food for the price. The service was good and the portions are big. I would certainly recommend this place for Chinese fast food. read more

My GF and I are from out of town -Phoenix. Dropped in for soup and chicken vegetables. We were pleasantly surprised! The service was impeccable. The server had us seated and had crispy noodles in front of us within 60 seconds. The food was excellent! And again the server (approx 21 yr old male) was ON IT! Water, Done. Soup, done. Meal, done. Not long waits... anticipated our needs every time. He is getting a 25% tip. read more

Fast and good service! You also get your money's worth and the food is phenomenal! Would highly recommend this food to anyone and everyone!

We love this place!! Can't go wrong with anything you order. The orange chicken isn't super spicy even though it has a pepper next to their menu at one point they even let me try it without the "spice" and it was good that way, too! We order the rainbow chicken and share it's a cost effective way to get full real quick! We also love their chicken lo mein. read more

We tried the sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, egg drop soup, egg rolls, pot stickers and lo mein noodles and it was all very delicious!! Would definitely come back and recommend to friends! read more

The food was top notch, the best Chinese in the area for sure. I got the takeout Crispy Beef combo with wonton soup, and my husband got the Curry Chicken with hot and sour soup. We didn't get to eat the soup (see later in review) and I'm not a fan of curry, but he loved it. The crispy beef was fantastic, saucy and crispy, and the fried rice was perfect. We also got a side of vegetable lo mein and, though a little too saucy for my tastes, our kids gobbled that up. However, they have TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE takeout packaging. The soups were smashed on the side of the bag so tightly that they both collapsed in and soup poured all over my lap and car. The egg rolls and all the other packaging was soaked by time we got home. And the styrofoam was not even recyclable and super flimsy. read more

I've eaten here a half dozen times and have had great food and decent service everytime. I do wish the spicy entrees were just a little more spicy though. My faves are crispy beef, crispy chicken, and general tso's chicken. The egg rolls are not greasy and the hot and sour soup is excellent. read more

I ordered the Mongolian chicken combo meal. What little chicken I had was tough and the veggies consisted of what seemed like an entire onion (not the green as advertised) and maybe 3 shreds of a carrot. It was an expensive onion meal. read more

Super friendly and courteous service. Food was good, with decent portions. Would eat here again.

We have been here numerous times. The food has always been fresh, flavorful, hot and usually served quickly. Today I had the Crispy Chicken made spicy by request. The chicken is thinly sliced, breaded and fried crisp. It was a little less than crisp, but I actually liked it that way. It is added to a sweet glaze with thinly sliced celery and carrots. I ordered the fried rice with ham. Delicious! It's my new favorite My only complaint would be the service. A couple of times we were seated and then abandoned for about 10 min.. Sometimes the servers leave their personalities at home. read more
