Salt Lake Chinese Restaurant

Close but not close enough.On the hunt for an old school neighborhood chop suey house eats. This place has been around for decades and more importantly when you place a phone order, the lady with the strong accent keeps saying "and then, and then, and then", IYKYK, this might be a winner.Comparing apples with apples, the "dinner plate":-- Kau yuk - Glistening, bright red. Made from pork belly with the right amount of fat. Nam yue (fermented bean curd) used. Good star anise flavor. Old school for sure.-- Sweet sour spare ribs - Meaty. Just sweet. Could use more vinegar for balance. -- House fried rice - Very oily but well seasoned and has wok hei.Lemon chicken - Pass. Chunks of chicken coated in a heavy batter, deep fried, tossed in a very sour, artificial tasting lemon sauce. At least it's highlighter yellow.Mu shu pork - Surprisingly good. Big chunks of tender, Chinese wine marinated pork, mushrooms, cabbage stir fried with good wok hei. Roll your own with the provided hoisin sauce in house made wrappers. Good eats.Inexpensive. Dishes average $15. Three percent service fee for all credit cards. Debit cards not accepted.Everything you expect from the old time neighborhood spot except missing the mark on flavor for the most standard of items.

We got take out. This place was recommended for the cake noodles but we were disappointed because the gravy was very watery and had no flavor. Sorry we won't be back.The gau gee was good though.

I can't recall the last time I gave a 2-star rating, and because I know how this can negatively affect any business, I do my best to carefully examine my reason(s).Located in the Salt Lake Shopping Center, this restaurant is in walking distance from our residence. Plenty of parking, but during the lunch hour it can get a little crazy with customers shopping at other shops that might normally be closed in the evening. On the recommendation from friends, we decided to try it out.A group of us went in for a midweek dinner and a couple of tables were already occupied. We were quickly seated and decided to order family style choosing about 4 main dishes a couple of sides. Service was good, but the entrees came out one a time with varying time gaps in-between. I would have preferred to have all the entrees available to me so I could sample them on my plate at the same time instead of finishing one entree and then having to wait for the next one to come out. Another faux pas was the server forgot about our rice until we reminded her, so we didn't get that until nearly the end of our meal.After dinner, my wife and I discussed our experience and we both agreed that the dishes seemed to taste the same. Nothing stood out and they seemed under seasoned. I found the beef in the beef broccoli to be tough to chew, and the kung pao chicken was light on chicken. I did enjoy the hot tea.The restaurant seemed to be busier with takeout orders than eat-in customers. Perhaps that's where they shine. Unfortunately, I don't intend to find out and am scratching this one off the list.

People of Salt Lake deserve better...at least a better shopping center. This place used to be good in the 90s. I've given this place many chances because I kept hearing they've improved or they're better now. Well this weekend will be the last time I give this place a chance. I ordered take out and the food was tasteless, overpriced, and it came w/a side of terrible customer service. I'll drive further to get better Chinese food. Just downright terrible.

Very good! Quick , hot food, and tea was free! Very nice cool dining area. Many to go orders came and went. Very nice staff. Quite attentive. No dessert here, but that was not a problem for us. Food was great! Tea was nice touch with loose lea

Favorite thing was the crispy gau gee! Lots of meat inside! Especially with the hot mustard sauce. Honey walnut shrimp was pretty good, it was a bit different. The shrimp wasn't actually fried like other Chinese restaurants. I would pass on the char siu fried rice. It was really bland. I would also pass on the orange chicken. The sauce was more like a red sweet & sour sauce. NOT orange sauce at all. It was also dry & overcooked.

I keep on saying, that I am lucky that there's a good Chinese restaurant next to where I live. Salt lake area doesn't really have much.... It's kind of depressing. Well, I guess we have a new Home Depot (that none of us asked for). But I digress.... Yes, we have a good Chinese restaurant right around the corner. It passes all the tests.Decent priceHeavy Tastes goodMy wife goes back (you don't know how strict she can be on sanitation and other things!)All the test except one1: WHAT????? the ladies are nice. I mean, what, we not going to get yelled at?NO! In fact, they are very nice!So yes, I have gone back again and again. Keep this place in business!!!!!!

Rude service.! Order roast duck plate and had mostly bone . Waitress was rude when i told her she was talking so loud and said that's how it's supposed to be !! Never going back .

Dang!... Haven't ordered anything in awhile and got floored at the prices gone to the moon! Since, its been a minute, their menu gotten a bit better with additions they made to the menu... Such as: Crispy roast pork, pork hash(dim sum), manapua(car siu bao), fried chicken wings and whole roasted duck(hong kong style). Would give stars across the board, but have never tried wvery new item and don't have the $$$ to do so at the moment.

I normally do take out orders, and I have came here for many times. As a full Chinese, their Chinese food is authentic and good. I will come back again.
