Ordered a couple dishes to try out, the general taos chicken was not fresh, tasted like leftovers (I would know). Bad food overall, will not be returning.

Three dishes ordered. Two were poor quality. Not fresh, tough chicken, couldn’t even cut it with normal eating utensils. Very few veg in dishes, mostly tough chicken. Not up to their old standards when you could count on it. Most of it being thrown out. $45. Very Disappointing. Day two eating leftovers which I normally look forward to. But this time it’s just annoying me again. The only thing that makes sense to me is that we were given leftovers made a day earlier, or something like that. Food NOT fresh. But some reviews are very good. So, luck of the draw from day to day I guess. But they need to make a consistently good product, or shut the door and close the business. Shouldn’t have to hope you picked the right day.

Terrible. Just plain terrible. Threw most of it in the garbage and what little I ate made me feel very unwell for two days. Never again.

It's a nail salon with a takeout kitchen at the back. No eat in space available. If you want your food tasting like nail polish.

I have been going to this Restaurant since the 1970's when Ma and Pa Chow operated it and have always loved their Food and never had a complaint. Yesterday Evening Sunday Dec 17th 2023 was a game changer for me. Our Order came to $68.00 and it was the worst Chinese Food I have ever eaten and had to throw some of it in the Garbage. The Egg Foo Young was the worst. It was mainly all Bean Sprouts with very little Egg in it, and also very little Gravy. The worst was The Rancid tasting oil it was cooked in. It even smelled rancid. The Combination Platter I bought was dried out, I could hardly swallow it. The Chicken Noodle soup was all noodle and very little Broth in it. This was a Take out order. They have the sit down area closed for some time. I will nor be back for some time if ever.

At This time it is only open for take out. My wife and I decided to Ph in an Order. It was aprox $68.00. I have been going to Chow Garden way back in 1970's when the Parents owned it and has said it was the best Chinese Food in this area, until Last night. Sunday evening it was the worst Chinese Food I have ever eaten and had to throw some of it out in the Garbage. I don't know if they were low in eggs but the "Egg Foo Young " was mainly Bean Sprouts with very little egg in it. On top of that The oil that it was cooked in was old and Rancid. It tasted terrible and had very little gravy on it. The chicken Noodle soup was all Noodle and hardly any broth. It surprised both my wife and I. I don't know why the change in their food, it will be a long time before I go back. The taste of that oil in the Egg Foo Young has left a memorable impression on my taste buds. It even had an outer to it.
Was disappointed in the food....wings were good but chow mein and fried rice were lacking ....neither dish had any vegetables in it and the chicken was pretty much missing from rice...will not be going

Reviews seem mixed, but our experience was excellent. Party of 8 on a slow night, so I was wondering if we'd get food that had been sitting waiting for customers. But no, everything was hot, fresh, and excellent. The best food I remember getting there since my first visit back in 1988. I had soured on the food from the previous owners, but possible these new owners, even with a few hiccups, will consistently outshine what came before.
