    a plate of tortilla chips

    Ordered Chinese food New Year's Eve. It was beyond awful. We threw most of it away. I wrote a review and the owner reached out to me and asked me to take it down. She was very upset by the review. She said we could try it again. Never did . Well, I wish I never deleted it...we never went back for another take out order but it was only right to make other folks aware.

    Food was too pricey and the chicken dish I got was just breading. Will never return as it happened twice.

Now back in the area, I've had two recent combos at lunchtime in a near-empty dining room. -- Hot and Sour Soup (n lunch combos): Sufficiently hot from pepper and lightly sour, with still-slightly-crunchy vegetation including a few kinds of mushrooms. Tasty broth that tastes slightly meaty. The best part of both meals. -- Sweet and Sour Chicken (on a lunch combo): Only slightly crispy and VERY slight amount of chicken within each piece. We often talk about chicken-to-batter ratio; this serving had the lowest I've ever had-- which I'd expect at a rough and tumble over-the-counter joint with pictures of the food on the walls, but not here. Thin, sweet sauce with a few cherries, stems intact. Aiight. -- General Gao's Chicken (on a lunch combo): Orange nuggets, well coated with a mildly sweet sauce, no heat, and no contrast to the texture or sweet flavor. Not crisp. Smallish pieces, decent quantity, but not tender or juicy. Reminiscent of a frozen product if not one in actuality. -- Pork Fried Rice (had with the Sweet and Sour): Midrange in color, lighter in flavor, closer to Rice-a-Roni, with onions, peas, and mini pork cubes. -- White Rice (had with the Genera): Fresh, solid, no issues. Service was minimalist on both recent visits. On one, the server was in the kitchen the whole time. On the other, the server walked away while I was in mid-sentence-- twice. At $16 - $17 with no appetizer, a bit much for a lunch combo, which should have some value. I also don't see the quality I used to encounter here years ago. Although the Chinese joint across the street isn't much better, there are many dining options in the area, so I don't forsee a return. Note: This isn't a referendum on authenticity or style. I like every Chinese style and every degree of authenticity as long as the food is good within that breed. This one isn't, but that's just me. Dateworthy, yes. But please-- take her someplace else.

    To be totally honest, living in the area for 5 years we never tried Cheng Due before mainly because…read moreof the low ratings in Yelp. However, last weekend we decided to give it a try because some times we need to give the benefit of the doubt to some places and judge them by ourselves. Well, to our surprise we had a very pleasant first experience at this place. Starting with the ambience, the restaurant has a nice sophisticated and inviting atmosphere. Everything was very clean and organized in an elegant way, which caused a very good first impression. Continuing with the food, there is a variety of options in the menu, mainly Chinese (of course) but also a Japanese section (sushi and other items). We ordered from the Chinese options...For appetizers we ordered the Thai Spring Rolls, the Scallion Pancakes, and the Boneless Ribs, all of them very delicious. The Scallion Pancakes have been the best in terms of texture that we have tried in the area. Our only recommendation would be to add more scallions to the dough so they can taste more to scallion. The flavor of the Boneless Ribs was very tasty and their texture was tender, not chewy as we have tried in other places. The Thai Spring Rolls were interesting, flavor was good as well as the texture. As main entree, we ordered the Orange Crispy Beef and the Sesame Chichen and found both very delicious. The crispy beef was the first time we tried something like that in the area. The amount of sauce that they used in both dishes was not too excessive and the tenderness of both the beef and the chicken was very good. Regarding drinks, we ordered a Piña Colada and a Polynesian cocktail, both with very balanced flavors. The only recommendation for the Piña Colada is to try making it more frozen and not with too many ice cubes. The flavor was pretty similar to an authentic Piña Colada (we are from Puerto Rico, the place where this drink was born and have to admit that the flavor was good); making it more frozen would give the final touch to make it more authentic, in our opinion. The desserts menu was not extensive at all, only one option available which was the fried ice cream. We decided to try it anyway and found it very good. In terms of the service, it was acceptable. Our server did a great job taking the order and not missing any item as well as serving our table on time and accurate. He wasn't smiling all the time, but he was respectful and polite, enough for us. I would say that if you are in the area, you can give it a try. For 5 years we avoided this place, and unless they changed something recently I have to say that we like the experience and are planning to go back. We don't do late dinner regularly, so we went there around 5:30 pm, which we don't know if that could have made any difference in everything.

Weekday lunch with not much of a crowd. Lunch combinations made it easy. -- Hot and Sour Soup: Tea-colored and thin and somewhat watery, but the heat and tartness still came through. Decent amount of mushrooms and tofu, without much variety. -- Egg Roll: Crisp outside, moist inside. Mostly cabbage, with some gray pebbles of pork. Not much flavor here, so it really needed the duck sauce. -- Orange Beef: A generous portion for a lunch combo, with bumpy semi-crisp surfaces, and somewhat tender meat within. Think of them as miniature chicken fried steaks. The flavors in this dish were impressive, blending spicy, sweet, and tart. Orange, peel, onions, and other little nuggets added complexity. A little gloppy, but someone who likes this dish would like this dish here. -- Fried Rice: Very light of color and no additions other than egg. Moist and fresh, but bland. Zero flavor. White rice would make more sense (and maybe even more flavor). -- Pork Fried Rice (full order): I ordered an extra to go, to see how it compared against the lunch special rice that wasn't that special. Still light and a little lacking in flavor, but an improvement with the pork and other additions. Fairly average. Decent enough meal, reasonable value, but flavor and/or texture was a little lacking on some items. Worth another look though, thanks to the Orange Beef and the atmosphere.

The food is just barely okay, but I'd say adequate for a quick takeout situation. -- Egg Roll: Crisp, cabbagey, with lesser bits of celery. Surprisingly pink inside, but not sweet.

Bland and hot beats bland and tepid. A good amount of food for a decent price. No rival for better sit-down joints, but I'll take this place over the fast food chains, and it'll be a better value.

My Coke (in a bottle) was even flat! There was a kid behind the counter (school holiday in honor of Veteran's Day), he was really rushing me to make a decision but I think mostly out of boredom. I read previous reviews about him and didn't experience what others wrote (at least not that I noticed or heard). I won't go back.

My view of the current establishment may be tainted by my mourning for the wonderful restaurant this used to be. Now, it is a perfectly decent takeout restaurant, but does little to standout from so many run of the mill Americanized Chinese restaurants. The quaint and homey dining room has gone downhill, and it is no longer somewhere I would "dine-in" as the room is mostly used for preparing takeout orders. The lunch special I tried recently had only 4 shrimp, but a really nice mix of fresh vegetables in the sauce, including yellow squash, zucchini, carrot, onion, bell pepper, snow peas, and broccoli. Personally, I loved having these veggies, particularly given the soy sauce laden fried rice lacked any vegetables.
