“They had the best and fastest service I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant. We didn’t have to wait for our food, like other sushi places. The sushi was so good, we ordered 3 more rolls! We loved dining here, and will definitely be coming back!“

“Long Life Vegi House has resurrected and we couldn’t be happier. Paired with T.F. Brewing’s most recent limited release. This place is magic!“

“Good service and yummy food!!. 🙏🙏“

“My favorite neighborhood place!! You get so much food and everything is amazing. Great service. Everyone who works there is super nice. I love supporting a small business. The combo is only $2 extra and you get a ton of food with it. We ordered a little bit of everything on Sunday and it was really fast!“

“Drew is an awesome bartender. Very attentive, courteous , and big smile 😊.. come see Drew !! Come to PF Changs in Colonie Center , Colonie NY“

“Best place to get manapuas!“

“It’s a bit like din tai fung in that they specialize in xiao long bao and have an open glass kitchen to watch as they make the dumplings. This place however has a much larger menu, all of it delicious. I’ve been to China and Taiwan and I can tell you this is authentic Chinese food. I heard more Chinese than English in the restaurant which is a great sign.“

“If you want an easy experience for hot pot, this is the place for you! You get to choose want you want in your pot and pay for the weight. My go to is the bone broth but their dry pot sauces are good as well. I love coming here when I don’t want to do AYCE for hot pot!“

“My gf and I were looking for a new Chinese restaurant last night and were fortunate to find this place. Our meal was amazing- she got the Pon Pon Chicken dinner and I had the Mongolian beef. It was hot , fresh and way above our expectations. The cream cheese wontons were fantastic- definitely not the frozen ones we’ve had elsewhere. We both highly recommend Mountain City!!“

“We recently visited this cozy Chinese mala tang spot and was absolutely delighted. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and every bite was bursting with flavor—the perfect balance of spice, savoriness, and comfort. You can really taste the care that goes into each bowl. What made the experience even more special was the owner herself. She greeted us with genuine warmth and made us feel right at home. Her kindness and friendly energy added a personal touch that’s rare to find these days. If you're craving authentic mala tang with heart, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“We've been coming here for years, the food is delicious and the customer service is above and beyond—I was on my way home from picking up an order and they called to let me know they forgot one of my wontons! It was really no worry but I was so pleasantly surprised by the thought and care put into that moment. They always take extra special care to make sure we get what we love, and if i could I would give them All the stars in the galaxy!“

“We enjoyed our meal at Chinese Bistro, which specializes in noodle dishes. One of us had Szechuan soup noodles, wheat noodles in broth with a fried egg on top, and Chinese broccoli and black mushrooms. The other had braised pork, also with wheat noodles in a savory broth and Chinese broccoli.

Service was courteous and solicitous. The decor of Chinese Bistro is comfortable without elegant. Since the four of us eating there are getting up in years, we appreciated that the place was quiet and made it possible for us to carry on conversations in which we could hear each other.

This is a place I'd definitely visit again.“

“Five-star review!
The waitress here is incredibly thoughtful, instantly making us feel the warmth and closeness of home while far away on our journey! The dishes are absolutely exquisite—especially the Braised Pork with Tofu Sheets, perfectly balanced in fat and lean, melt-in-your-mouth tender with a rich, flavorful sauce; and the Farmhouse Stir-Fried Pork, bursting with fresh, spicy aroma and crisp-tender texture, the most authentic and stunning hometown flavor we've ever had in the U.S.—truly a top-tier feast for the taste buds! Thank you to the chef for their craftsmanship; it added endless unforgettable warmth to our trip. Highly recommended—we'll definitely be back!

“Aaron went out of his was to honor a past issue I had with. DoorDash order. Rich, another manager was the original person I worked with and wasn’t in when I came to revisit. With that said, Aaron went above and beyond to provide the highest level of service and understanding. This is what make this location amazing. Much respect and I highly recommend coming in! Hospitality is truly number one here. 10/10“

“Great food , great service“

“This place is a must try if you are in the area. It was delicious.“

“My kids LOVE fortune cookies, but not a one in our order. Is it that bad to ask for a couple? Otherwise, we enjoy the food, but $80 later, it’s pretty lame.“

“My husband and I came here for date night! We ordered the honey walnut shrimp and the cream cheese wontons. Some of the best we’ve ever had! The owner and waiters were very kind and didn’t rush us one bit! Definitely recommend.“

“Amazing dumplings. Must try!“

“This is my go to Chinese place when it comes to lunch.

The people who work here are talented, friendly, and attentive.

Almost every meal I've had here has been worth it. It's always hot, and sizeable in portions.“

“Vegan Chicken Pon Pon....“

“I've been here a dozen times over the last few years. The quality is consistent and the price is good. Around 10 dollars a plate. Portions don't leave me wanting.

This is also my mother's favorite place to get Moo Goo Gai Pan.“

“HongKong Banjum is my absolute favorite restaurant in Utah! I always get the 짬뽕 (jjamppong) and it is always perfect. If you don’t like spicy, then the 짜장면 (jajangmyeon) is also amazing. I also highly recommend getting the 탕수육 (tangsuyuk).

Great service!“

“30 years of perfection, exactly the same as my childhood memories after 25ish years. Lemon chicken is my favorite, the breading is so crunchy and the lemon glaze is so thick you can spoon it on like jello!
Don't forget to try the Vietnamese egg rolls too!“

“I was looking for a good place to take the family. This was perfect. I was initially a bit concerned since they were slow. But the service was fast with friendly staff. Everything was delicious, my picky kid ate all of her food here! Amazing place and great prices too“

“The crispy egg rolls are a must just order two when you first sit down. One order is barely enough for one person! House rice always good.“

“A friend of mine from Hong Kong recommended this place to me and said it’s the most legit Chinese food in the valley and he wasn’t lying! I ordered the fried rice and added the roast pork and it was incredible! The pork was top quality and was delightfully crispy on top! Best fried rice I’ve had in Utah! My husband ordered the basic fried noodle and it was like boring hot pasta salad (spaghetti noodles) and didn’t taste fried. I would pass on that dish, but the fried rice was great!“

“10 out of 10 I was very impressed. The BBQ pork soup was fantastic, fresh and flavorful and lots of great ingredients.
The orange beef was crispy fried slices of beef in an orange sauce, it was off the charts. The texture was consistent and the flavor was great.
The general tso's was a close second. The sauce was perfect and the chicken was fresh. Everything was in fact. There wasn't one dish that was mediocre. The braised tofu was a recommendation, and it did not disappoint. She was absolutely right. Some of the best fried tofu wirh sauce I have had in a long time

Great food, that chef back there knows what he's doing. Thank you very much!“

“The owners are my favorite part about this place. The love that they shared with my friends and I keep us coming back. It also helps that this is one of my favorite spots to eat. I'd recommend the: - Kung pow chicken with out water chestnuts - Sweet and sour chicken You can't go wrong!“

“The food is yummy!! I recommend the all you can eat grill.“

“Love the food, the service and atmosphere. I have been looking for this kind of Sichuan cuisine / restaurant in Salt lake area for a long while! The place is nice and clean, restrooms are nice too! English / Mandarin / Cantonese environments. I am a picky eater when comes to Chinese food, and I approved this cute little restaurant.“

“Finally found a super authentic Chinese food restaurant where everything is to die for!!! Will be in our regular rotation 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤤🤤“

“Casual, quick and delicious Chinese comfort food! We tried the bao and dim sum. Flavorful, but would go from good to great with the addition of fresh flavors from garlic, ginger. Super friendly atmosphere, coloring area good for families, prices great for all! Will definitely return!“

“Love this place! I travel a lot and had to move away, but I always take my family back here every time I'm in town. Food is delicious, my husband loves it and my kids overeat. Our favorite savory dishes are Sesame Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, Spicy Pepper Beef. Side dishes such as vegetable fried rice, egg drop soup, hot and sour soup, and cream cheese wontons are very basic but they are made well. I really took it for granted when I was living there. Now the next best place is in New York.“

“This is the best American Chinese restaurant. The food is very fresh, excellently priced, and very delicious. I usually get the family meal. The orange chicken is better than Panda Express, they have vermicelli noodle stir-fry that is less greasy and much more tasty than the options at Panda. I love their charsiu pork too.“

“Went here with some friends a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVED it, everything is at the buffet except the main meats so the vegan in our party had a great time. Also, little to not risk of food waste as you can get only as much as you want. Flushing is very cool and it was a great time“

“it really great and you can take it ti go“

“there foodd is so good and it look so nice in there“

“This is a fabulous place for authentic Chinese food!! A favorite of my native Chinese exchange student! I LOVE the noodles and dumplings especially! Great service and all very clean and friendly!! Please go visit them and get full on yummy food! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“We used to get canton all the time before they move to this location. Now they don't deliver to our area anymore so we haven't gotten it in a long time. But love this place always get takeout and have always got plenty of soy sauce, and food. Maybe the cook was having a bad day when the other person got the nasty food. Never had a problem in the 20 or so years we have been getting food from Canton.“

“My wife and I love Wok-King Cafe it is are favorite place for great Chinese food.
The number 7 is awesome! I was in the past disappointed in the hot mustard but keep getting it despite past orders not living up to the hot.
They finally got it right! Since the first time! Great job! The ham fried rice is ham fried the rice was just that! Ham Rice and nothing but what makes it great.
No corn or peas. Thank you!“

“One of my favorite things about this restaurant is the fact they serve many traditional Viet dishes that are not available at any other Viet restaurants in Utah. Albeit, not the most authentic tasting. I was really happy they have banh cuon, bo tai chanh, etc. here! Their bo tai chanh is pretty good but the beef is not rare enough to my liking, even after requesting the meat to be super rare. Their banh cuon is not authentic at all lol They have many different fillings that aren't traditional. Also, the rice paper is too thick for banh cuon. However, it didn't taste bad; it just wasn't authentic. I like the pho! The broth is quite tasty. I don't recommend the calamari simply because it was overbattered and there are no tentacles (which are my favorite), just rings. Unfortunately, the service is quite slow. It took quite a while to get our food. The restaurant atmosphere is nice and clean, but the parking situation is not the best. Overall, 5 starts because the food is good, authentic or not!“

“Update: Whelp the previous are 100% spot-on! Delicious food that’s makes Panda Express feel like a minor league Chinese restaurant! Empire Kitchen does it right! To the family that’s running Empire Kitchen keep up the excellent work, it is incredible food!

Hoping the food is as good as everyone is saying! Looks & smells delicious! I ordered a 1/2 order of Fried Dumplings & the Orange Chicken combination platter but subbed Chicken Fried Rice instead of the usual Ham. I added some full menu pics, with the updated pricing.“

“Amazing Sesame Chicken and amazing staff. Will definitely be back!!“

“Amazing food! Authentic. Great friendly staff. Fun atmosphere. Must Try!!“
