We are in the middle on this place.You don’t enter from the Main St side, which took us a bit to figure out. The sign did direct us- just not intuitive at all. The front entry on Main looks so much nicer- wonder why they don’t use it?We wandered around back and walked in through a creepy back entrance and then through a narrow hallway and eventually found a door we assumed was the restaurant. Entered in, but no one to greet us for a few awkward moments.Eventually a man, who was very nice, but quite busy, rushed to greet us. He brought us into a large empty room with a few arrangements of chairs and tables and told us to pick a table. Meanwhile phones keep ringing for him to answer. And here we were sitting by ourselves and this one guy seemed to be running everything himself. Wow! More people did eventually join the room, so we started to feel like we weren’t the only awkward ones brave enough to eat here.Tables were set with old fashioned dishes- It was okay. Did he buy them at Goodwill? And the atmosphere, definitely NOT Chinese. Not even any music? It felt like we were eating in an old, dark, run down bar which is being converted by one guy to be a Chinese restaurant. Let’s just say the focus here is definitely on the food- not atmosphere. And we took compassion on the guy for all his efforts.And… the food was pretty good, although it did have a weird seasoning - MSG maybe? Would order again- but probably only by phone. I got the strong impression that is what most people do. Portions were good, though.Tips for the guy running all this- Hire a decorator to come in and help?And maybe a greeter? And just get some Chinese decor so it feels a little more authentic! Also get rid of the old beer bar lighting and replace it with something Chinese. Perhaps soft background music might add to the ambiance?I can see this being a pretty great place with a few small changes.

Without a doubt the best Chinese food in the state. Fast service too. This is THE go to Chinese food around here.

Great restaurant. Been going here for years. I was so happy they survived COVID and I'm happy to keep eating here.

I haven't been here in years. But I took a chance because I really craved their crabmeat cream cheese wontons. Those were the only part of the meal I enjoyed. I make Asian dishes often and know the key components needed in making most of the dishes. Simple ingredients that take bland and salty, to flavorful and fresh.I got the beef and broccoli and beef lo mein. Both had tasted as if it was made days before and just reheated.. the gentleman that helped was kind and sweet, but unfortunately it didn't end up being the best experience. This has been in Longmont for decades.. I wish they'd liven up their dishes to have a more flavorful depth with fresh ingredients

Honestly the best Chinese take out I’ve had since covid shut down two of my favorite Chinese places. I was surprised at how flavorful the fried rice and lo mein were. the hot and sour soup, crab cheese wontons, sesame chicken and orange chicken were excellent as well. I’ll definitely be coming back

Great food. It's a bit hidden and I was hesitant to go in lol but overall really good food for a fair price.

My chicken chow mein was amazing! I've tried about 6 Chinese restaurants in the area and this was hands down the best! I deducted one star because the entire restaurant needs a good cleaning and renovation. I just hope the kitchen is cleaner and more orderly. I was in at 6:30pm and the place was empty. Delicious food, though!

We ordered delivery and could not have been happier with our food. I had chicken and black bean sauce and it was delicious! Will order again for sure!

Just like the past reviews I wanted to see how creepy it is. But it's a very good palace to eat we're from Los Angeles. The little girl who served us was on it, good job. My wife loved the food and my friend and I went downstairs for a shot and a beer at the speakeasy downstairs.

Just received my order. All my family says it has a weird twang to the flavor. We usually order elsewhere, but our guests wanted orange chicken and our usual place didn't have it. Besides the twang, I ordered vegetable fried rice because I have meat allergies, and it arrived with small cut up pieces of pork cut up in it, so I couldn't eat it.Pork is anaphylaxis for me.Atop that, I was not confident about the online ordering site and was concerned the order went through. We called the reataurant three times and got a terse 'hold on' the second time we called, followed by a hang up after about 5 minutes of waiting. The other two calls were hang ups. What if we were calling in our order? When the order was so late, we thought perhaps they hadn't gotten is and the email was automated. Not ordering from this place again. Won't use Easy Eats again, either.

This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. They switched owners and we had a huge order tonight. It was the most awful Chinese food I have EVER eaten. There was no flavor, pepper must be the favorite seasoning, one of the chicken dishes wasn’t completely cooked. I am so disappointed in this experience.

This place has been my go to for many years, but recently the service and food have started to go downhill unfortunately. On my last take out order, they accidentally sent our order out on a delivery to someone else, so I had to wait for food to be remade. On top of that they ran out of wontons for the soup. The food has also become bit more bland than in the past. They claim to be short staffed which is understandable, but some of these mistakes are unexcuseable. I'll probably start ordering from elsewhere as a result, which is too bad.

It may seem a little “Erie” at first from its strange location and quiet ambiance. But, this place actually had some great food. The Low Mein was honestly some of the best Low Mein I’ve ever had. The male host is super friendly and engages you in some fun conversation. Will definitely be coming here again.
