Hey folks at Eric’s. There’s been complaints about the pricing and displays going on for years. It’s time it was addressed. Clear transparent pricing is important. The price on a menu should be the price charged at checkout.

Until there is an update to address this, I will not provide a review or encourage people to attend this restaurant’s.

Don’t let the atmosphere fool you. The Thai food was fresh and authentic. The portion sizes were large at a great price.

Locals don't eat here, and there's a reason. It's dirty and often gets closed due to health code violations.

I was gonna leave them a better review, since the food was great. But they really should update their menu’s with the new prices, he brought me my ticket before I was even done eating, didn’t even offer a to go container.

So the guy took our order and said he didn’t know what vegan meant . He tried to tell me I can’t have soy sauce when I asked if the dish had oyster sauce or if they could make the lo mein vegan he said no. So I ordered the eggplant and tofu and that’s what it’s literally called on the menu and they brought out a chicken and shrimp thing . This was after I had a whole conversation explained it means no animal products no egg fish etc. then the chef brought the dish out and it was shrimp and chicken and eggplant ! I told him I ordered the eggplant and TOFU and he corrected it and brought the right dish right away!! The chef was easier to communicate wish and seemed to have a better understanding . The food was good but have to be very clear and just try to talk to the chef instead about your allergies! Cuz the guy taking orders seemed absolutely clueless!

This guy that runs this is so rude. I am not sure how he stays in business. We have eaten here 20+ times over the course of 6-8 months. The food is average at best, and below average at worst. It is sad that this is the only thing that resembles asian food in the mountains. For a long time we just put up with his attitude. Then one day he flat out refused to add extra sauce to the dish I ordered. He told me "no you get it how it comes" wow how do you stay in Business? Are you all really that lazy and rude that you cannot make the chicken a bit more moist. No you get it dry and nasty like we make it. Ok. We will no longer come here.

Great ole school
Chinese Food Restaurant. Lunch special was perfect size and cost 7.50$! Reading the other reviews I have to say, the guy that owns the place must be like the “soup nazi” from that Seinfeld episode. He has great basic food: if you take too long to order or have too many fancy substitutions requests, well then, “NO SOUP FOR YOU!!” Don’t go there looking to be pampered. Get in, order, enjoy your food and out ya go. And if you don’t know the Seinfeld reference, so watch it on you tube. Great food, will be back.

I have visited this establishment three or more times. The three visits were all great experiences. I suggest you call ahead to confirm this mountain Asian restaurant is open. Many people choose to use parking spots at the front entrance. I prefer the large parking lot in the rear of the restaurant for my truck to park comfortably.

The restaurant has a bar with hot Sake, beers and cocktails. I encourage you to try the fresh hot salty edamame delicious. The sauce on the chicken wings made the dish yummy. I tried not the eat the pan fried dumplings and gyoza so quickly. They always are my favorite appetizers.

When it is snowing outside I crave the wonton soup extra wontons and egg drop soup. The egg drop has corn, peas, and the perfect ribbons of eggs. I tried something different Tropical Fried Rice it was amazing. My go to is the chicken basil with fried rice.

One time I ordered Togo and biked down Virginia Canyon Rd. What a beautiful time for a bike ride while the Aspens were changing to gold. It was a rememberable romantic asian cuisine picnic. Great job Eric, see you next time.
