Take out only
Mindi A.

Ordered via door dash for self pickup. The ladies were nice and it was done on time. It was extremely hot and fresh. Prices pretty good. Flavors were not great on my cashew shrimp. Shrimp tasted dirty if you know what I mean. Very few cashew. Maybe rename celery shrimp. So did I eat it? Yes. But probably won't go back. Too May other options.

General tso chicken

Pretty underwhelming. I ordered the general tso chicken, white rice and some cream cheese wontons. The chicken was very unauthentic. It seemed like it was thrown together with some fried chicken in some soy sauce, the wontons were okay, very small amount of cream cheese inside. The rice had a slight hard texture like it was from this morning. The entire meal was just decent. Won't go back unless some changes are made.

Egg drop soup ($1)
Julie V.

Super cheap Americanized Chinese food that's much healthier and fresher than most American Chinese alternatives, such as ABC Chinese, Little World, and Panda Express. They have $4.55 lunch deals and $6.75 dinner deals that come with fried ham rice, soup, and an eggroll. Portions are perfect, and it's so affordable! They also have a Chinese meny if you're hoping for a more authentic option. The list is limited to one page and seems more Chinese wedding style, but it's not bad. I've tried the BBQ pork wonton soup which tasted very homemade and healthy. It reminded me of home cooking and hit the spot for this winter weather. The wontons were lacking in meat and tasted older though. Their sweet and sour chicken seems to be the thing most people here love. It's also very fresh and unique compared to most places. They batter an entire chicken filet, fry it whole, cut it into strips, and slather sauce over it, so its not like deep fried balls of chicken most places have. I prefer Pearl's way since it keeps the texture crispier and enjoy this visual presentation more. Their egg drop soup isn't flavorful but it's nice and thick with adequate starch and egg. Overall, I see the appeal here and would stop by if I'm driving by and am hungry or just aiming for something cheap.

Shrimp cakes with tofu (Chinese menu)
Tony L.

Its really a hidden gem in the west Jordan area. I've been going here over the last 8 years and their food is still the same. Its pretty good. Their lunch special are always so affordable. For under $7 you can get a pretty decent meal. Also ask for the Chinese menu. It's not necessary in Chinese but you can get the more authentic dishes like the shrimp cake and tofu. Overall good value and better than average Chinese food.

The owner always welcoming! But our server was rude and "snotty" slamming our drinks and plates. Left me without my water for 25 minutes.

Does anyone know if they carry/offer gift cards?

I asked for you the last time I went. They do! It's a gift certificate, not card, but the lady says they're very popular.

The two stars are for the management, not the employees. We came in for lunch on a Saturday, and the dining room was unbearably hot. It honestly felt like eating in an indoor sauna. At first, we thought the AC was broken. After asking about it, we were told that the staff couldn't adjust the AC without the owner's approval, and the owner was out of town. I can't verify whether that's actually the policy, but if that's what happened, it's hard to understand why no one could make the restaurant comfortable for both customers and the employees working there--especially considering how hot it's been lately. That experience left a really bad impression. If saving on air conditioning was the reason, I think that's a poor decision that comes at the expense of everyone's comfort. While writing this review, I also noticed another google review from someone who said they had concerns about how management treated employees. I can't speak to their experience, but combined with what I experienced, it doesn't leave me with much confidence. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be coming back

See review. Horrible food. Dirty menus. Gross. No way would u return…read more Just not up to par. Period.

Mr. D's Malatang arguably beats some of the Malatang places I've had in CA. I'm now drooling…read morethinking of what we had that afternoon. We were stopping in SLC for a few days on our way home from CO, and I really wanted Malatang. I saw there was a chain Malatang place and Mr. D's, so obviously we had to go with the locally-owned one. The restaurant was small, but the lighting was bright and everything was clean and tidy. The station to build your own bowl was kept at proper holding temperature. There was a good variety of everything, and the owner was even bringing out fresh rolls of frozen meat when we arrived. The veggies were fresh as well. I really liked that the trays we put our raw ingredients on were wrapped with plastic for extra food safety. After we finished choosing our ingredients, we went up to the counter and told the owner how we wanted our Malatang to be prepared. I went with the mild spicy bone broth and my husband went with the spicy dry pot. While we waited, we prepared our sauce. I like to add extra garlic and chili oil to mine, as well as green onions and cilantro. We decided to just share one bowl of sauce this time. This Malatang place also comes with free unlimited rice, which is not something I've seen at other Malatang places in NorCal. We didn't end up getting any rice because we had plenty of ingredients in our individual bowls, but if we were sharing, then we probably would have gotten rice. Considering the price of the Malatang was only $15 a pound, what a steal. It was nice to watch the owner prepare our Malatang right behind the checkout counter! Everything was piping hot when it was ready to be picked up. You are in charge of getting your own food when the buzzer rings. We especially liked that the fish/meat balls we selected were cut in half to make sure they were cooked the entire way through. The bone broth was deliciously flavorful and silky, and the meat was tender. All the ingredients were so good! Upon adding some of my sauce, that definitely turned my broth into a flavor bomb. My husband's dry pot was delightfully numbing and spicy, and all the ingredients were coated evenly. He was also a big fan. While we ate, more people arrived, and I was glad that all the Asians knew this place was the place for Malatang. Soon, the restaurant was almost full. We wrapped up our meal and left feeling satisfied and happy. I would definitely recommend Mr. D's Malatang for those needing their Malatang fix while in SLC (and of course for locals who love Malatang too) and can't wait to return the next time we visit.

I love this place! This was my second time getting take out from them and I've loved it both times…read more I got their veggie masala dumplings and the potatoes as an appetizer. Both are so flavorful and delicious, and the sauce has me licking my plate as to not waste any of it. I believe each order comes with 10 dumplings and it's filling and delicious and I've had leftovers both times. Highly recommend! I've only gotten take out here so I can't speak to the ambiance, however we did order online once and they were either out of stock of an item or forgot it - I can't remember exactly what happened because it was a few months ago - but we called them to let them know and they had incredible customer service. Love that this place is in the neighborhood!

Great dumplings! Both varieties we had were seasoned well, and flavorfully differentiable from each…read moreother. The lamb dumplings had an outstanding lamb-y flavor, and the chicken dumplings featured a mild tanginess in their spice blend - delicious as well. Where the dishes might have fallen a hair short was in the dipping sauce and soup broth. Both were good, but offered nothing to add to the flavor of the dumplings. The dipping sauce was actually really bland, both with dumplings and standalone . The soup had a good spice level for the mild we requested, but fell short on flavor too. Super friendly and attentive service, and open sunny environment made for a lovely experience altogether, but I really hope they turn up the dial in the sauces!
