    Bland, tasteless "spicy" wings.  Where's the sauce? Where's the flavor? Absolute disgust!
    Steff S.

    DO NOT EAT HERE! There's a reason the rating is god awful. I tried to give them a chance and all I got was disrespect, pushy terrible service (actually lack of any) and greasy tasteless food! I waited over 25 minutes for some "spicy chicken wings" that should only take 10 minutes to cook if that. I came home with the order to open a greasy box of fried sauce-less wings with no spice or flavor whatsoever! I called the restaurant to explain my frustrations and all the lady did was argue! I asked for a refund and she hung up on me. I called back and they hung up again. Is that how you operate a business? Disgust, disrespect, and bland food? Let me tell you..the customer is NOT always right but you should try to respect their opinion. We are not children at your dinner table. If you want to try some bland Chinese food brought to you by the worst service in the East Valley by all means pull up a chair to this hole in the wall. I'm sure their doors will be closing soon.

    I have been coming here since I was little. My family always get take out. The food is always so good and always made to order. Today I ate in and the store is basic but really clean and refreshing. They have a cute fish tank that is also really clean. The TV isn't overly loud and they have the news playing, which is nice. Best Chinese food in Gilbert! I got the orange chicken combo with a large drink for less than $9.00!! Amazing.

    Metal scrap in food

    Been coming to this place for a few years, I knew the previous owner and they recently changed ownership. I've been nervous to come in, and rightfully so. I came in for lunch today and I was interested by the new decor and the friendliness of the cashier, but after ordering I realized the decoration wasn't all that changed. We ordered 2 lunch combos and got charged full dinner pricing. I noticed the prices were higher than listed on the menu and the cashier said "we don't do lunch on weekends"....however the menu clearly states otherwise. But ok, a few extra bucks I guess. Then we asked for a large lemonade, she apparently charged us 2 and claims that's what we asked for when we stated (after paying) that we only wanted the 1. Then, we took most of the food back home and found a small piece of metal in my girlfriends food. Don't think we'll ever be back, cool decor or not

    I have tried many places and this is the best food in town! The house chow main is the best! The portions are huge so you get some leftover!

    This place has been on my wishlist for almost a year, and I was so excited to try the AYCE dim sum…read moretoday. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed :( To start, this restaurant is located in a large shopping center, so there is plenty of parking. We came as a party of 4 on a Saturday during lunch and were seated immediately. We sent our orders to the kitchen ourselves with a tablet, which is nice because you don't have to wait for the server each time you want to order more food. Unfortunately, when we received our first round of orders, more than half the dishes were cold, almost as if they've been sitting out for awhile. Even our egg drop soup wasn't warm, which was super disappointing. After we placed our second round of orders, I respectfully asked the server if they could make sure the food comes out warm this time since the first round was so cold. She was apologetic and agreed to let the kitchen know. Our second round was much better. The food was warm, but the first round of food made such a bad impression, I kinda already lost my appetite. Also, the server informed us that they charge an extra fee for any leftover food, even if it's just ONE dumpling. I found this rule to be pretty outrageous to charge an extra fee for just one uneaten dumpling. It's sad to say I will not be coming back here again. After seeing this place all over social media, I was so excited to try it. But unfortunately, I was disappointed. If you are thinking about trying this place, maybe don't do the AYCE option.

    Came for lunch to try their all you can eat, it was $21.99 per person. The space is very open with…read moreplenty of seating, but very dim lighting inside. Service was a bit on the slower side, but there was only one lady helping at the front and assisting customers. Starting with the favorites: Dan Dan noodles were a tad salty but overall had great flavor The orange chicken and general tso's chicken were both really good and had a sweet sauce to them. I like that the general tso's came with some peppers and celery. Fried shrimp was crispy and loved the batter Fried golden buns were divine. Fried and crispy with a side of condensed milk. The not so favorites: Beef fried rice was horrible, had some kind of chemical taste and the beef cut is very cheap and flabby, yup I said it. Crab puffs, umm where was the crab? Fiery beef noodles were subpar, again with the cheap beef And unfortunately the dumplings are nothing to brag about. Lacked much flavored to the fillings, you aren't missing anything. I would say overall, give it a shot for lunch and you can try a bunch of options to find what you may like.

We were also very happy with the value that we got for our food. We ordered a Kung Pao Chicken lunch special, a Chicken and Vegetable lunch special, and the Golden Fried Prawns appetizer. They have lunch specials that are from 11am-3pm Tuesday-Friday and are amazing. The entrees coming with an egg roll and soup or a salad (which were also both amazing). The service was spectacular. They kept our waters full and never kept us waiting. The food also came out exceptionally quick and they were happy to answer any questions. Lastly, the ambiance is great. They have nightly entertainment and comfortable seating that make this the perfect outing. There is plenty of light and it is the nice casual vibe for lunch or dinner. If you are looking for a new restaurant, this is for sure one to try.

It was pretty good as we threw it in the air fryer to crisp it up. The staff was friendly and our food was ready in about 12 minutes. I can see why this place is popular.

Order at the cashier, grab a number, and food will be served to you. Needless to say, I ordered the 4. Shanghai pork mini soup dumplings which were $10.25 for 6 dumplings. I would've loved less dough, more soup, overall bigger portion size (larger dumplings or more of them). Otherwise, the soup itself was tasty. We also ordered the 14. Chongqing Fried Spicy Chicken $13.95, which was a platter of boneless chicken and peppers. I was very impressed with the crisp exterior but soft/juicy interior of the chicken. I'm not usually a spice person, but I was left feeling tingly but not in pain and not numb. Overall I found Heng's Kitchen to be disproportionately pricey given the taste and portion sizes. I'm pretty critical and discerning about my XLB, and this place did not totally satisfy my craving, although I was pleasantly surprised about the chicken. Note: rice is not included with any dish and is $1 extra. Free room-temperature self-serve water available.

I planned to place my order online and did not see the garlic chicken, just garlic shrimp. I was super disappointed. My daughter told me to just order whatever and I knew she had never had moo shu chicken and this is a dish I love so I decided to go with that. Needless to say, this restaurants moo shu chicken was not like any other moo shu I have ever had. I mean the crepe and plum sauce was the same but the chicken and veggies were different and not in a good way. The flavor was mild and the plum sauce that was spread on the crepe saved this dish. What was disappointing was they gave us one small condiment cup of plum sauce and it wasn't even filled to the top. It was enough for two crepes and we had 6 crepes and chicken and veggies to fill all the crepes. If the plum sauce was what saved this dish imagine my disappointment in not having enough plum sauce for the remaining crepes. They definitely need to give a larger portion of plum sauce. I have turned my daughter on to egg drop soup and she loves it from our usual Chinese restaurant so she wanted to try it here. This egg drop had corn and tofu (we think, but not sure) in it. It was very bland. She had to add soy sauce to it to spruce up the flavor. We always order wonton chips for egg drop soup and did this time too. Their wonton chips were bland as well. Lastly, we ordered crab puffs and the same wonton shells were used for the crab puffs. Just another item that was bland. If I could get the garlic chicken I would try this place again but since I can't I don't foresee us ordering from here again. We will drive a few miles down the street to get our favorite place.
