Ordered Doordash delivery. Dasher was good , no worries. However, food received was plain awful. The Ma La string beans use to be good tasting, long, whole string beans, now they're cut up looking like green beans, over cooked soggy, over sauced, lack of spice and not good flavor. Ate a couple pieces and was very disappointed in the lack of quality. Almost as if it was leftover from a lunch buffet that they revived for dinner to save on food cost! Definitely not fresh looking or tasting! Went in trash. The shrimp & pork lomein as well as the pork lomein were lifeless. Soggy, over sauced, no spring and no firmness to the noodles. Another recycle after lunch leftovers? So much sauce, so dark, yet flavorless. All I could taste was the overbearing sauce! Hardly any shrimp to my granddaughter's meal. She loves shrimp (it was small, flavorless and lacking in her meal) lomein but couldn't eat this from Mark Pi's. Both lomein meals, in the trash. I refuse to eat things that tastes terrible, no matter how much I've spent. It's not worth having an upset stomach. Quality went down, yet prices went up. This use to be a decent place to have chinese-American food. No longer. What a disappointment. Doordash food order totaled $57.30 (not including tip and fees), for 2 lomeins, string beans and an egg drop soup! Worth it if it was delicious. It was clearly NOT!!! In the trash where it belongs. Granddaughter ate about half of the egg drop soup, to be polite, (few bites of her lomein and didn't want it anymore either) and said she didn't want the rest of her soup, and if I could make some of my homemade egg drop soup for her instead. Sort of defeats the purpose of ordering take out, lol. She has to have dinner, so I ended up preparing a delicious homemade Japanese-Hawaiian meal for her, which she happily ate all of. Mark Pis take out order went to the garbage. They need to remember to take more pride in their cooking like they have in years past. Profit should not take over quality! Do they have different cooks??? Bad cooks bring bad meals, which brings bad taste to their customers. The inconsistency is unsatisfactory. Bring back the old quality values! We will never ordering take out here again. Will no longer dine in either. No more disappointments and waste of money. The lack of quality is not worth it. Our palates deserve better and no one should settle eating something just because of the cost. I'll go to Columbus for good, authentically prepared Asian food. Or better yet, cook at home! Hope your experience will be a good one, at least better than my own. Bon appetit and Godspeed everyone.

As far as I know, this is the only dine-in Mark Pi's in Ohio, all the rest are "Express" They did change their menu just a tad and don't serve in the big family style bowls anymore, but you still get large servings and most of the time I've gotta get a take-home box. Always have eaten in and never ordered carryout since we don't live in town. Overall it's always been a pleasant experience.

Normally when I order sesame chicken or general tso chicken it has a crispy sometimes crunchy texture this chicken was soggy and soft and the fried rice was not all that great vegetables lacked flavor and quantity honestly after I took the photos I threw the rest of the food away! It was a waste of my

Stopped in during Covid while traveling, food came out decently quick. Ordered the General Chicken, but ate in the car since I was traveling. Food was good, not overly fantastic, but better than many places I've had General Chicken.Prices were pretty good, service was quick, lots of orders being picked up. Would consider returning to try some more items if I pass thru there again.

I typically get the Mongolian Chicken here. I've tried several dishes and landed on this as a go-to favorite. Food can be a tab bit salty on occasion. Always kind, no frills service.

We dined at Mark Pi's Zanesville location twice in the past 2 weeks. The first time, we thought maybe it was just that particular dish that we didn't care for. We realized the second time that while all the food looked good, had the right texture, we really couldn't taste anything except the ridiculous amount of sauce that was on the food. We couldn't taste the broccoli, the chicken or shrimp. Just sauce. So, We think the food was well prepared, but we can't be sure. I will say that both times, our service was excellent.

My parents and I ate at Mark Pis tonight. It was the nicest experience we've ever had. The owners Eric and Cindy were so friendly and outgoing. We met their children Kathryn and Aaron who were both so adorable. The food Eric prepared for us was awesome and Cindy makes a perfect White Russian! All in all it was a very pleasant dinner and we would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!!

The service is fine, the entrees are just okay. The fried rice is cooked over hard with the eggs so that the egg takes over the dish and not too many vegetables. No spring rolls either, egg rolls only. Ordered take out, might consider trying again.
