    Wonderful! I will order as often as I can. I recommend Town Story. Great Chinese food.

    A great ratio of BBQ Pork in our BBQ Pork Fried Rice
    Nykein S.

    First Time Pick Up Experience. Overall great experience. We were impressed by the portions and ratio of meat in the dishes. Ordered 3 dishes for the 2 of us and have many leftovers for the coming days. Portions stuffed the to go containers and the food was hot and tasty. Chicken Lo Mein - 3 Star spicy. The chicken was super tender in this dish. Great flavor Bbq Pork Fried Rice - 4 Star spicy - Great ratio of pork. General Tso's Chicken - 4 Star spicy Great flavor and Spice. Good texture. We got a free item with our order and picked the Spring Rolls. They were crunchy and tasty. We asked for spice to be added to the noodles and rice dishes. 4 Star Spicy was perfect, got the sinuses running and added the kick we look for.

    this place is currently takeout only but the portions are generous with the prices. most of their dishes are spicy so i requested my chow mein not spicy.

    I'm really happy I stumbled across this little gem, we were about to order from another location but the reviews on Yelp for Town Story caught my attention. I ordered via Grubhub on the Yelp app, and our order was ready within 45 minutes. My husbands orange chicken had oranges in it, and his chicken wasn't overly breaded. He really enjoyed his chicken wings also. My lo mein wasn't greasy, ideally seasoned and filled with vegetables. The green onion pancakes were really good! I really appreciate the business offering delivery as it's 25 minutes north of me, and if normal traffic was occurring there's no way I would drive north and then attempt to head back south just to land myself in traffic. Make sure to check-in, to receive a free item. Lastly, if you have an order that values a over $20, call to place your order Town Story offers a variety of deals. We will definitely return, I highly recommend!!!

    I found on yelp and dropped i for dinner after a massage. I checked in and found a free spring roll offer. Which I claimed after ordering abc the waitress brought them out quickly. I got some mustard sauce and was super happy. I ordered vegetable egg foo young and shrimp chop suey spicy. The egg foo young was deep fried and came out quite greasy. The gravy lacked flavor. Could of used more hoisin and cornstarch to thicken. The chop suey had a lot of smaller shrimp and was full of celery and way too much of it. It had a little cabbage too. It was not spicy at all and had a light sauce on it with once again very little flavor.

    Honey Walnut Prawns, General Tzo's Chicken, Rice
    Di W.

    Not sure how high my bar is when eating Chinese as a Chinese person but here we go. We went with Town Story because of the reviews and their prices were slightly lower than the others. I had the Honey Walnut Prawns which were $13 and some change and it was $15 and some change at another. I think they gave a decent portion but not as much as you get when ordering the General Tso's Chicken. Both tasted pretty decent but I wished they had given a carton of rice for each dish ordered so we didn't have enough rice. The egg rolls said there would be 3 but to my surprise, there were 4. Can't complain about getting an extra. They cost about $3 and some change but were small and hardly any filling. I don't normally use the sweet and sour sauce but I had to with these to get some flavor. I'm craving the larger egg rolls now. I was not a fan of the fried wonton but the boyfriend liked them. I thought they were overcooked and hard to eat. The meat was bland. I wish he had ordered the crab rangoons instead. I don't suggest getting the bubble tea. I got the original thinking it would be regular milk tea but it was white slush and really sweet. I have no idea what the flavor is supposed to be but I suspect it is made with powder. The boba wasn't chewy and was flavorless. I didn't end up finishing it.

    Won-ton Soup for $5.95.

We ordered the usual, schezuan shrimp and moo shu pork with a green onion pancake starter. The pancake was bland, not seasoned, but ok. But wow, I open the shrimp and I can smell ammonia coming from the meal. I try one bite of shrimp just to make sure it's not me because it is heavily spiced and cooked in oil. Nope, shrimp is seriously spoiled, and the moo shu is smelling off as well. We decide we can't eat the food, and I decided to head down to the restaurant so I could talk with staff and have them check out the meal. Jin, the waiter in charge, tells me after I come in that it doesn't smell bad to her. Jesus, just what you want to hear when you've driven back to restaurant with the spoiled shrimp. Strike one. Jin then tells me that the employees eat the shrimp today and are fine. Strike two. I explain im really not trying to be difficult, but Im concerned about the defensive posturing in light of a possible food poisoning situation. So Jin, to prove her point, goes ahead and eats one of the shrimps, the other male staff watching her with some discomfort. I tell her to spit it out, but nope, down the hatch it goes. Jim goes on to tell me that we eat dead seafood (you know us---People in Everett--and yeah maybe it's a little soft but that's just typical dead seafood. Strike three. She did finally offer to refund my meal in cash, and I told her I was really trying to just make sure the restaurant wasn't unintentionally making my neighbors, friends, and family sick. I wasn't interested in going on blast with a review and contacting the health district, but after sleeping on it, I'm doing the right thing. Sorry Jin, your ego got in the way of a resolution. Be careful.... PS A note for Jin and Flying Lemon Fish. When I was 23, I served some bad clams at a fine dining restaurant. The family called to tell us their daughter was in the hospital with some liver problems. We immediately went to the cooler and went through all the shellfish, called back the family and offered to take care of any medical bills or follow-up. It happens if you serve food occasionally, just be respectful with your response, it goes a long way instead of challenging a customer's dissatisfaction.

So glad this place survived after Covid. The seafood shaved noodle was solid. You get shrimp, squid and scallops. $13.95. Really? We are floored! Husband said it was exactly the same and he enjoyed it! He finished his whole plate. Impressed with the large portion!! Shrimp was huge! Instead of seafood, I asked to sub with chicken. Server said no problem! The chicken slices were super tender and juicy and the shaved noodle texture was perfection. It was a bit bland but nothing a lil' table soy can't fix. Only $11.95 for a huge platter. I was super hungry and cleaned my plate but for most, there'd be leftovers. Mapo tofu with white rice. The sauce had too much corn starch and the meat texture was not my favorite. I've had better but when you have spicy sauce over fluffy rice, it can be mediocre and still be satisfying..Would rather have this for my work lunch than Marie Callendar's any day. Pan fried pot stickers 8 pieces $7.95. Delicious. It's the thin skin kind. Classic, you can't go wrong! I can't eat fried stuff nowadays but their fried chicken wings were the best. Plump, juicy and piping hot! I am sure it's still amazing! They have lots of other menu items. On a colder day, I would go for the custom noodle soup bowls for $12.95. (Choose noodle, broth, 2 veg and 2 proteins). Duck noodle soup sounds amazing. For more topping, I think it's $2.25 per extra topping. One of the few places where most everything is below $15 per entree item and nothing above $20. I would like to try their oxtail noodle soup, sizzling beef or chicken platter, teriyaki short ribs, beef chow fun, and black bean noodle dish next time. Interior is clean with pleasant Cantonese Chinese music, free waters, and guava candy when you pay. The evergreen Asian supermarket next door has a lot of Asian grocery goodies with a Vietnamese deli inside. Durian is on sale for $4.29 a pound. Yes, you can get durian in Everett! Impressive! Worth the drive to get good Chinese then shop next door.

She told me that each bowl comes with three pieces of roast duck. I searched but only found what looked like a small duck bone. She insisted the other two pieces were still in my bowl and then used my own chopsticks to stir through my soup looking for them. After almost five minutes, she finally found two tiny pieces about the size of a thumb--and they were mostly bone, not meat. The chicken broth tasted like plain hot water with a little chicken flavor. The char siu had an old, greasy smell, and my friend's baby bok choy still had dirt on it. I almost never leave restaurant reviews, but this experience was so bad that I felt I had to. This was one of the most disappointing meals I've had, and I will never come back.

Unfortunately, after my experience this past Tuesday, I'm not sure I want to continue giving them my business. I always tip--usually above the suggested percentage or by selecting the preset option. This time, however, I had cash on me and planned to give the driver a cash tip. There has never been a time where I did not tip. When I placed my order, the confirmation stated that delivery would take about 45 minutes. Instead, the order arrived 40 minutes earlier than quoted--well before I was home. I would have been there within the promised timeframe, but because it was so early, my daughter accepted the order. I also always select "contactless--leave at door." The delivery driver, who has brought food to us before, knocked very hard on the door and then asked my daughter if we planned to tip. That was completely uncalled for. My daughter had no idea that I had ordered food, let alone that I intended to tip in cash. When she told the driver I wasn't home, the driver actually responded, "Oh, because you didn't tip," and then left. I was shocked. Had the order arrived at the quoted time, I would have been home to give the tip as planned. Instead, the driver ignored delivery instructions and embarrassed my daughter by demanding a tip. If management is reading this, I strongly urge you to remind your staff to follow delivery instructions and not pressure or question customers about tips--especially when the order is set to be contactless. A cash tip was ready, had it not been delivered well before the delivery time. For anyone planning to order and tip in cash: beware.
