Chinese Restaurants in South Lake Tahoe

“This review is for those looking for real Chinese food, especially if you are native Chinese or Chinese origin or foodie with real Chinese experience. In small towns, almost all Chinese restaurant owners have to dumb down to suit “American Chinese” taste which is a refined version of what is called the Panda Express crowd. If you enjoy that kind of food, please don’t read any further. If you understand real Chinese cuisine, then this cook is a genuine Cantonese cuisine cook. We asked whether they could make a special order of congee, and they agreed! They said it would take 2-4 hours to cook. It was worth the wait to order for the next meal. Any Chinese can make congee, but their congee was special as it brought a taste of Guanzhou and recollectionsoo of food in Guanzhou and Hong Kong. Thanks for the totally unexpected experience in Lake Tahoe of all places!“

“To start with, all the food was served piping hot (not spicy hot) which is always good. We ordered two kinds of beef. So similar in flavor we couldn't tell them apart. Too many bell peppers in all the dishes. The house chowmein had delicious flavor but the noodles could have been cooked a tiny bit more.“

“Both of our ‘usual’ places were closed today, so we decided to give this place a try. It’s mostly a to-go place but have a nice area for sit-down. The food was delicious, portion was plenty and great service. We ran into the owners outside putting on some lights and we ended up chatting for awhile. Really lovely couple. Will definitely go there again!“

“Out of food most of the time, I get the last of what is left.“
