T2yan Chinese Cuisine

I was in Galt for the annual winter bird festival this weekend and wanted to have some lunch before I headed over to attend the keynote talk. I didn't want to head to Elk Grove so this place caught my eye while sifting through dining options. There are not many options in Galt anyway, but T2yan piqued my interest as I haven't had Chinese-American food in a hot minute. With the mixed reviews, I set my expectations and bar low. It was a rainy day so I was able to find a parking spot right in front of the restaurant. It is located in the same strip mall as Raley's and conveniently located by the 99 and Twin Cities Rd. Upon entering T2yan, I noticed that it was very clean, cozy, yet spacious, with plenty of seating. Aside from a few other people dining in, I was the only other customer. I was seated quickly and handed the lunch special menu. I found it amusing that they even served cocktails. As you can see in my attached photo, the layout of the menu was quite modernized compared to other Chinese-American menus I'm used to, but I liked how each of the lunch special items had photos next to them. I also noticed that the lunch specials came with either fried rice or chow mein, so when I ordered my Mongolian beef lunch special, I asked if I could do half and half. It was a $3 upgrade to do so, which I was fine with paying. I also didn't have a choice of soup for my lunch special, so when it arrived, I was intrigued. It was very homey and not a soup I've ever had in any lunch special. It was a tomato-based soup with some crumbles of pork (?) in it, but it was comforting and I finished my bowl. However, I wish I could have had hot and sour soup instead. Shortly after, my lunch special arrived, and it was a heaping plate of deliciousness. The noodles were excellent, and the Mongolian beef was sooo flavorful. I did not like the fried rice as much, and I had to add soy sauce to it as it wasn't very seasoned (which I don't normally do). The rice was also older (which is fine for fried rice), but it was a little harder than usual. The egg roll was fine, but nothing to write home about. Now knowing about the condition of the fried rice, I will probably not upgrade to half and half again. I did not finish my food and what I took home was a perfect amount for leftovers the next day. The service was standard, and my total before tip was approximately $18, which was a little pricey for Chinese-American food, especially a lunch special, but given the limited options that Galt has, I am not mad about it. While I do not see myself returning to Galt in the foreseeable future, as there's not much to do there, if I am ever in the area again, I would be down to try some other lunch specials (and their hot and sour soup).

BBQ Pork fried rice is the best! Customer service is great and ordering to go is easy and always on time! Aside from the food they also do great things for the local community!

This used to be our favorite Chinese restaurant in Galt which we frequented regularly over the last twenty years. They were far better than all the others in regards to freshness, flavor and quality. However, the last four times we've went the food has been completely different. They have now become the absolute worst Chinese restaurant in town. We thought it was a fluke and wanted to continue to support them until this time and found it is an unfortunate change. We will not be returning. And we can no longer recommend this restaurant. It's far too expensive for poorer food. There are much better restaurants in the city. Even the Raley's over the counter Chinese food is better quality. This is such a disappointment.

The food is alright sometimes fresh n flavored well and sometimes bland and the lady at the register is a tad bit rude or maybe she comes off like that, I can't call it. Too pricey for not the greatest. I like Panda Express because their chow mien is nice n thin and the orange chicken is my go2, off top but we don't have a branch here in town yet. Yep so there it is there...ha..ha..

I have been going here since they opened. It is the best Chinese food in the area. I love the Prawns with vegetables. Also the chicken chow mein. The service is outstanding, the and the restaurant is always clean.

The curry chicken was so flavorful. They skimped out on chicken a little bit but the sauce and seasoning was great! The plate with rice and chow mein was bomb too. For the price they give you a pretty good sized plate! I'll be returning for sure

Delicious food! Everything we have ordered has been good. Very flavorful and well prepared with quality ingredients. We've had Mongolian beef, broccoli beef, honey walnut prawns (the best!) lemon chicken, sweet and sour pork, chow mein, fried rice, pot stickers, egg rolls. Prices are reasonable. We've been three times and it's been consistent. Looking forward to the next time.

Great food, great portions, the service is amazing and the atmosphere is welcoming. I enjoy coming to this spot frequently. Highly recommend!

Freezing through my Pot Stickers- They were good. Besides Frost Bitten Nose, Fingers, ears and Then they tell me the heater is not working. I would need to eat "running in place" I don't have that kind of energy. This is a NEVER AGAIN SITUATION- The service is BEYOND POOR- RUDE SERVER TOLD ME "NOT TO POINT" excuse me that's how I read. If only it wasn't so cold inside. Hello to Managers. Warm the place up and you may get more revenue. People can't eat in a cold environment. We can't think about dessert when we are freezing or an extra drink. You would be surprised at how much more money a customer will spend when they are comfortable

My sister lives in Hearald and every time I come to visit we order from this restaurant when we do eat.It's been a year since we last ordered from here. Today, 12/21/24, we ordered our usual and after seeing the degradation in quality of food we will never order here again.The orange chicken tasted old and stale like the chicken was scrap meat with lots of gristle. The chicken fried rice was not fresh, very stale and sticky like it had been out all day. I don't know what has changed in the last year, but, never again, we are done with this place!!!
