“Great place! The real deal 👍“

“We tried this place for the first time. I took my dad to try some Chinese food he hasn’t had before. It was amazingly delicious! We got pickled fish soup and beef brisket radish soup and we couldn’t decide what we liked more! My dad was apprehensive at first about trying pickled fish soup but we gave it a shot and it has become a new favorite. Our server was so polite and helpful about the menu, too. We will return!“

“The noodles are smackin.
The rice is smackin.
The orange chicken is smackin.
The general tso is smackin.
The tofu is smackin.
The pork was a little bit dry but I don’t care.

10/10 you have a new loyal customer. Loved it :)“

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

“The food at Ichiban Sushi & Grill is absolutely amazing! Everything was super fresh and flavorful — especially the sushi and grilled dishes. Kim was so friendly and attentive, and the restaurant has such a nice, cozy vibe. Definitely one of the best spots for sushi lovers!“

“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!!. 🙏🙏“

“Went to this little cafe today and had a good time. The lunch menu is extremely good value and includes a choice of soup, choice of wanton or egg roll, rice and an entree. The food is traditional chinese-american dishes (sweet n sour, sesame chicken, lemon chicken etc) and is very good. The servers were very sweet and attentive. The atmosphere is like a little family cafe.
Went again today. I love the way they cook the vegetables, nice and crunchy.“

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

“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.“

“Suuper cozy, clean and cheerful spot with awesome service! We loved the hot and sour udon noodle soup with braised beef. The sesame chicken was not much meat but great texture and comes with veggies for some good balance. The wuhan dry noodles were not as pictured, our's came with ramen noodles and were more nutty than spicy.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Best place to get manapuas!“

“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!“

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

“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!

“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.“

“Consistently great food with even greater portions, I have never been to a Chinese restaurant that has the same kind of flavor and satisfying crunch that ABC Chinese Restaurant has. Service is always great, The atmosphere is nice and feels very homie, and their smoothies are probably the best fresh fruit smoothies I've ever tasted. Any combinations of the assorted flavors are worth the try and I can't imagine any tasting unpleasent.“

“Ate at Changs tonight, I tried something new and did not like. First time ever. The manger came by to ask how everything was, I told him that I just did not like what I had ordered. I was not expecting him to replace it with something I had had before, but he did. He went above what I expected. I was very impressed with that service. He locked me into eating there every time I am in town. Our waiter was great also. I just made a bad choice with a new item.\nI is so good to see a manager that’s cares about his clients that much.“

“Great food , great service“

“Amazing dumplings. Must try!“

“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.“

“I love love love the food here. I used to live in the delivery area and now I'm barely outside it. When I first moved they would still deliver to me for a small fee and now they won't. I miss the personal touch of being a regular customer. I just don't have the time to go get it most of the time. But the food is delicious“

“Vegan Chicken Pon Pon....“

“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!“

“Been trying many different places looking for a the big hole Kowloon left when they closed their doors, and I think I found the closest so far. Their egg foo young, although served differently with plenty of vegetables, the egg foo young and gravy was almost same taste. Although they don't do fried shrimp, they do fried prawns instead, with the famous Chinese mustard that is fantastic. The food was pretty good overall and tasty. The service was super nice and very helpful. My order did take a bit longer and had to wait for a tad longer, but wasn't too bad in the quiet restaurant. The atmosphere could be a little more, but still not too bad. A nice place to visit !!“

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

“We love this place. The food is always consistent. They are willing to make small changes to our orders and we have never been disappointed. At first glance it is a little hole in the wall but the food makes everything worth it. We have done both dine in and take out. We have even had huge dinners with families and everyone loves it. I would say we eat here about once a month. Try it out you won’t regret it. I love the black bean chicken and hot and sour soup. They always use white meat and the flavors are robust. My husband tries different things each time and enjoys all of them. The prices are great and portions are easily shared.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤤🤤“

“I've gone to this place more often in the last few weeks than I'd like to admit. The szechuan beef noodle soup is incredible—very spicy, but so, so flavorful. The beef is so tender and the noodles are a perfect texture. A little expensive, but so worth it for the quality you get. I had a cold a few weeks ago that I'm pretty sure this bowl of soup cured. The dandan noodles and sticky rice are also delicious!“

“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!“

“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.“

“First time here but have ready like it a lot more than the other hot pot restaurants or buffets we had in the past. The taste reminds me traditional hotpot that my big family used to gather and eat around Chinese new year in Northern China when I was little. Authentic soup base and many choices of add-ons and a good selection of appetizers and drinks. Definitely love to come back. 👍“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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.“

“Ok. I haven’t been to this place since they moved to their current location many years ago. I went to their old location in the 90’s kiddie corner to “Albertsons” on 9000 south Redwood road. Back in the day this was the go to place for Chinese food in the West Jordan/South Jordan area. This is where I first tried and fell in love with the General Chicken! They used to put broccoli in it back in the day, now it’s just chicken deliciousness. It’s the standard that I judge other Chinese General Chicken by. I do miss their old location and how big their dining room was but post-covid, it’s just easier to grab take out and this trip did not disappoint. Dining is available there, but it is fairly small
I took photos of the takeout container and it’s stuffed full of food. I spoke with the owner and it’s still the same family serving great food. If I live closer, I’d probably visit once a week. Thanks Wok-King for serving great Chinese food all these years!!!“

“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.“

“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.“
