“great variety, staff friendly and helpful. coconut broth delicious“

“So delicious everyone we go, our favorite is the Spicy numbing beef also I got pork belly on the side sooooo delicious and the very best service from the beautiful staff there who was sweet and handed my son a bubble toy! 🤍“

“Excellent! The food is fresh and flavorful. Cooked very well. I tried the Orange Chicken and Beef with Broccoli. The person worth me had Sweet Chicken and Lo Mein and Spring rolls. ALL of it was good! Plus, the place is very clean and the service was top notch! We were greeted immediately and the young man at the counter explained how the self serve tray options worked. Very fairly priced. Overall a great experience. I'm tired of wasing my money at Panda only to get sub-par food. This will be my new go-to for Chinese food! I highly recommend you try it!“

“Awesome and yummy!! Whatever you do, get the hand pulled noodles. They are the best.“

“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“

“We love this place. When you weigh the food, you think it will be super expensive, but really it's the opposite and you get a lot of food for your money. When we first tried this place, we asked how much a bowl of rice would be for our baby, and the cashier was so kind to let us know it was free and that he could have one. Even my daughter, who can be very picky loved the options given and even tried new items as well. This place has instantly become on of our favorite places to eat and we can't wait to come back and eat some more!“

“Best place to get manapuas!“

“Great food , great service“

“I received a LOT of food compared to what I paid. The beef chow mein was VERY good! The very best part, however, was being waited on by Jasmine, the server (Chinese name Hua Hua). She was so sweet and kind that I'm definitely going back there just to be waited on by her!“

“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!“

“Best Chinese food in the area! Been coming here for many years and they never disappoint! The people that work here/run the place are very sweet people and make some bomb food, too. ☺️ My favorites are the sweet&sour chicken, egg rolls, egg drop soup, fried rice and all their smoothie flavors.“

“Zhu Ting Ji 竹亭记 felt like a hidden gem for authentic Chinese food. The flavors were bold and comforting, with dishes that tasted closer to home-style cooking than the usual takeout spots. I liked how unapologetically traditional the menu felt. The place is casual and a bit understated, but the food really speaks for itself. Definitely worth it if you want something more authentic.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Came in on a slower day, was recommended to try the Chengdu beef noodles. They were very good! An appropriate amount of spice, and you could tell the meat was cooked with time and care. I would say the meat is the highlight of the dish and what makes it worth it. The atmosphere is very good and the server was nice as well. I’ll definitely come back to try something new.“

“Amazing dumplings. Must try!“

“We discovered this little gem of a restaurant a few years back and I just realized that I had never taken the time to give them their well deserved 5⭐️ review. The food is a bit different than other restaurants yet delicious, the family and staff are super friendly, but what we love the most is that the food has always tasted the same, fresh and delicious. Our only complain is that they they take a yearly family vacation for a couple of weeks and we can't enjoy their delicious food while they're gone and the restaurantis close.
I'm joking ofcourse.
Maybe we do get a little upset 😁
But that's just how good this place is. Try any of their dishes and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.“

“Vegan Chicken Pon Pon....“

“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.“

“Dad and I (Dave) went in a couple of times a month during his last years. Eric and the rest of the staff made us feel at home. They were kind to us. I would like to place an honorary order. Shrimp and fries with a diet coke for dad. Sweet and sour chicken and a sprite for me. Egg drop soup for both of us.“

“Canton Wok is old school Cantonese style chinese food that originated from early chinese American immigrants. One bite of their fried shrimp took me back to my childhood. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is my now favorite chinese restaurant. The food is delicious.“

“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!“

“We were blown away! We chose this place because we wanted something Asian and this spot had good reviews. They earned them!!

Granted we were the only ones there, but we were sat immediately and had drinks within a couple minutes. Not long after ordering, the food started coming! We had our soup just a minute or 2 after ordering, then our egg rolls and wontons just a few minutes after that. We didn't even get to finish before entrees started coming!

Great value, very generous portions, amazing service to go with it! We will be back and you should be too!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“They had a decent vegetarian/vegan selection and the omnivore I went with got a huge meat combo plate (not pictured.) The presentation of the food was great. They seemed short staffed so several people brought out food as it was ready when the server was busy. Luckily we weren't in a hurry, so the extra time (from being possibly short staffed) didn't cause stress. I would eat here again. There are a bunch of sauces on each table. Pictured is vegetarian lettuce wraps and Kung pao tofu.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“This was our first time ordering. We ordered around 4p on NYE, and they were understandably busy (food ready an hour after order was placed) but we still received hot, flavorful food. Our only complaint was a piece of (packaging?) tape found in one of our entrees but we liked the food enough to forgive it. We will order again.“

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

“They have some new Vietnamese cuisine!!

7pm on a Wednesday. Instantly greeted by a friendly face. Placed a takeout order for me and the teen daughter. Place looked spotless. I'm surprised they weren't busy - I was the only one there. I was in and out in about minutes. Fast!

I got shrimp gỏi cuốn (fresh spring rolls): 5/5
Really pleased. Right balance of shrimp, vermicelli, and veggies with peanut sauce that wasn't too thick/heavy. Made for that light taste I was craving and hoping for.

I also got phở bò viên (meatball phở): 3.7/5
Now... will you get more depth of flavor in phở from a dedicated vietnamese restaurant, or from mom's homemade? Yeah, of course you will. Duh. BUT, what I had was still good, and scratched the phở itch. Savory bone broth, fresh veggies. Honestly better than I was expecting from a place serving varied cuisines.

I got orange chicken for my teen daughter, with fried rice and egg drop soup. She said the orange chicken was 'just the way she likes it' - which means too sweet for me. I tried a bite anyway. Yup. perfect for her = too sweet for me, lol. I didn't try the egg drop soup, but she said it was good. She was 'meh' about the fried rice. As another reviewer mentioned it's like a soy fried rice? if that is even a thing? I thought it was good, just different.

Overall good, I will definitely be back.“

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

“Small little place with no people, the man who took our orders was nice and friendly, we got our food quite quickly (Probably under 10 minutes). We got the cream cheese wontons, the kung pao chicken which came with rice, and the hot and sour soup. Everything was good and had really big portions, especially for the price. 10 cream cheese wontons for the price of 5 at panda express is a steal!!! I would be back, except that I live in New York. I would highly recommend this place!“
