    If you want great food for the value they offer, Red Pavilion is the place to be. I loved their Mongol and egg flower soup. Their crab Rangoon and gyozas are delicious and great appetizers to start out with. Service is fast and efficient. The place decorated beautifully with nice warm lighting. One thing I could say is sometimes they go hardcore on vegetables portions more than proteins on their entrees but nothing wrong with that.

    5 star! Pros- Easy parking, varied menu, great service, and delicious large portions. I ordered the Mapo Tofu. They ask protein style, heat level, and rice style. Perfect! Beautiful presentation & plate ware. Hot tea was an experience. Attentive service, but not intrusive. . Cons- Medium heat is usually fine, but this was HOT, so order accordingly. Too many jalapeños, which didn't seem culturally appropriate? I don't know, sichuan peppers would have matched better, I think.

    I don't think we'd come here again. The food is either undercooked, has too much salt or under seasoned. We came for date night thinking it was going to be good but we were sadly disappointed. We ordered 2 wonton soups, two appetizers of egg rolls and fried battered shrimp and they gave us 1 egg roll and two of the tiniest battered shrimps. The wonton soups had no flavor and the wonton itself was all rice paper, no filling in sight. I had to add a bit of soy sauce in order to try and enjoy it. The lo mein and fried rice was overcooked, under seasoned. The one dish that made me give up and ask for the check was the mongol beef. It was super salty and the cornstarch they apply on the beef before frying was super caked on and not cooked thoroughly. At that point I could not swallow and had to spit it out into my napkin. The only thing half decent was the General Tsao chicken. I think they would benefit from trying the food first before serving it to their customers. After that we instead drove to a nearby Panda Express for some decent Chinese food. Other than that the customer service and ambiance was good but would not recommend or come back to eat the food here. Worst money wasted to be honest.

    All the good in the trash

    We ordered General Tso's, chicken lo mein, the Mongol beef, Szechuan veggies, chow fun rice, hot n' sour soup NONE of it was good. My wife ate toast for dinner.

    CLOSED as of July 30, 2025…read more A couple originally from Portland (I think I have the city right) opened their kitchen offering take out only (delivery in limited area) Cantonese food that was pretty good for what it was. They operated out of one of the 17 ghost kitchens in what was the former CRAVE! Delivery kitchens in maybe 2024. (Honestly, the original owner of this original ghost complex added the naming emphasis but the original line up and the one that followed was a terrible disaster.) Now the owner of the ghost complex is apparently going to sell it. My understanding from the Wei people is they are closing now, they plan to travel (including China) for a while. Hopefully they'll come back and be able to open a bricks and mortar place. PS - Mai Thai that was also operating a take out operative from this same ghost complex after the kitchen fire and closure of their restaurant in downtown Boise announced earlier this month that they were leaving this ghost kitchen complex on July 27 and reopening in a Boise ghost complex. They didn't mention that the Meridian complex was being sold.

    I was anxious to try Wei's because the reviews. I ordered three items: General's chicken, Kung pao…read morechicken, and chicken chow mein. The generals chicken was soggy and perhaps it'd be better not to mix the sauce with the chicken, the other two dishes left something to be desired as far as I was concerned because the chicken pieces were too large like two slices and made vegetables were also large chunks. Overall flavor was acceptable. I guess the presentation was a biggest problem.

    I'm amazed at what some people consider good Chinese food. I'm sorry to say this, but this place is…read morenot one of them. Never in my life have I ever walked out of a restaurant until this place. We ordered the egg roll (which is not a typical egg roll), it was huge with a lot of stuff inside it and was so big it could be an entree. That was the "better" item. We also ordered the spicy orange chicken. We could not figure out what parts of the chicken it was from, the meat looked so strange I honestly questioned if it was chicken. The breading was greasy & gross tasting (and I'm not opposed to greasy things). We had also ordered chow main at the same time as everything else, but after receiving our chicken dish & waiting 15 mins, we decided we wanted to just leave at that point. While we were waiting to try to get our check, the chef came out to go to the bathroom & his apron was disgustingly dirty. I'm scared of what the kitchen looked like if he was that dirty. When we got up to pay, we talked to the couple next to us & they agreed the place was terrible but they keep coming there (why?!). Writing this to try to save others from the disappointment (how is this a 3 star avg?).

The seats are cracked and the tape they used to repair them was peeling. The Chinese lanterns are dusty, carpeting in disrepair. The greeting upon entering was a young woman yelling across the room for us to seat ourselves anywhere we'd like. The young man who was our server was wearing a hoodie and jeans. He took our beverage order. The food: crab pops, they're supposed to be crab Rangoons. There wasn't any crab! They consisted of a quarter tsp of cream cheese and a piece of scallion. The chicken fried rice was soggy. The pot stickers were under cooked. The lemon chicken hardly had any lemon sauce . The egg rolls were huge but dry. The meal was awful. Our check wasn't itemized. This experience cost us $60.00. Within 30 minutes of leaving the restaurant my daughter was in the bathroom vomiting.

    I recently read in the Idaho Statesman that this local Chinese joint was going to close at the end…read moreof the month. So sad, their situation. The rental company didn't give them an option to renew their lease. After 17 years, they are closing their doors without a choice. With closure comes choas. I remember when my family gave notice of our closure. We were chaotic from the time we announced it till the doors closed. Everyone is getting in their last hooray in. I anticipated that kind of madness when we stopped in for lunch today. And I was right, the place was a madhouse. When I have eaten here in the past, there was hardly anyone. It was just another table along with mine. It's always chill. Today on the other hand was pure madness. Tables were full of customers and dirty plates. I went ahead and sat myself and waited for my server. It took a minute for my server to get to me. She was the only one working so I just hung out till she got to me. Tea and menus were finally dropped off and I kicked it till my daughter showed up to have lunch with me. My daughter and I looked over the menu. Knowing it's our last meal at this joint, we decided to go ham. We both ordered soup, a lunch and I also snagged a tofu chow fun for later. My soup order was hot and sour. For lunch I went with your typical order of mandarin chicken, chow mein and pork fried rice. My daughter got won ton soup and beef with broccoli, fried rice and an egg roll. We waited for a hot minute for our food to be prepared. You can tell they were not staffed properly. Only one server with a whole dining room full of guests. I'm sure there were only a couple people working the kitchen trying to push out all of the orders coming in. Our soup did finally make it out. We both ordered small bowls but the bowl size was gracious. They were both hot and steamy. My hot and sour soup was ok. It wasn't really spicy but it did have a nice sour element to it. There were pieces of tofu, bamboo and carrots. It was thick and hearty but overall it was ok. My daughter's won ton soup was average. The broth was nice but there was not a lot of filling in the won ton. It was mainly won ton wrapper. And I found it odd that they put lettuce in the won ton soup. Lunch was dropped off shortly after we started working on our soup. When I placed my order, I had asked for fried rice with my meal. Server said it would be an extra charge and I figured it would be. My plate didn't have the fried rice. It only came with my chicken and chow mien. After I addressed my server about it, she looked completely lost. I got an "ok" and never saw her again. So, I just worked on what I had. The chicken was good. It was fresh this time around. I love the saltiness of the chicken with the sweet and sour sauce. The chow mien will always be one of my favorite dishes. It reminds me of my childhood, growing up at my uncle's Chinese restaurant and eating it all the time. I love when the crunchy noodles get all soft from the sauce. The bean sprouts are my favorite. The chow fun was really good. It was savory, the noodles were chewy and the tofu was perfectly fried. They will always have some of the best chow fun in town. I'm giving today's visit a 5 star but in reality it's truly a 3. I didn't get my rice, our server didn't really tend to our table and I had to get my bill adjusted for extra charges. I know the end of the road is coming soon for them but hopefully they will be able to prepare themselves for the next couple days because the choas will only get worse and clearly they need the extra hands. I wish these folks the best of luck with their future endeavors, whatever they may be. I'm happy I got one last meal in before doors are finally closed at the end of this month. Truly sad that another local joint will be just a fond memory for us now.

    If you are feeling some quick Chinese food, pop in here. I enjoy the older feeling of the…read morerestaurant, it reminds me of when I was kid. Most places have remodeled and taken out the charm and ambiance of restaurants making them stale. Lucky Palace still has that charm and evokes that feeling of being a kid, with your family, on a Friday night family date. I will say the food seems to be on the saltier side here, pretty consistently. And I am on the search for the best sweet and sour chicken in the valley, the chicken was overcooked on the sweet and sour and the sauce on the extreme sweet side. The one time I ordered generals chicken, it was a bit unmanageable to eat because of the salt. I never waste leftovers, I did not eat these leftovers because of the salt content. With that said, I think you can find some good things on the menu. We did enjoy the egg rolls (on the super greasy side), and my parents manage to find great options such as the Lo Mein. Give this a few tries and I do believe you can find a dish you will keep coming back for. Hidden in a strip mall type setup, you would never know it is there unless you are looking for it. I kind of like that. It feels hidden. Like a secret restaurant.
