So Good China Restaurant — Restaurant in Blaine

As always my husband and I always like to try our new places. Saw a friend mentioned that this place was awesome so we decided to try it out since today was a bit gloomy and it’ll go great with some soup! We ordered lunch specials which were shrimp and lobster sauce and chicken garlic and those came with eggrolls, fried rice, and soup. Then a bowl of pho for the husband and a bowl of Hong Kong wonton soup. Originally I wanted to get the Jade wonton soup because it looked so yummy (big fan of wonton) but then our waitress recommended the Hong Kong soup which included egg noodles, wontons, and some smoked bbq pork. The food for AMAZING and delicious. We finished all the food including a Thai sweet tea drink, always gotta have that if the place offers it. One of my many favorite drinks. I must say that the price is great and affordable as you’ve read we ordered a bunch of things and the total came up to $37.xx so that is definitely not bad at all! The staff were friendly and nice. The atmosphere was comfortable and clean. If it wasn’t so far out from where I lived then it’ll be my go to place all the time. Distance won’t stop me though. I’ll try to sneak out there once in a while. Still gotta try that spicy Jade wonton!...

Called to order one order of chicken wings. That’s it. Lady on phone said it would take 20 min. I left work 22 min after calling to pick up the wings. Went through drive thru and rang bell. Waited, waited and waited some more. No one came. Rang bell again! Finally a lady came to the window. Told me that my order was still being made and walked away. About a minute later she came back to the window and said it’s still not ready. I asked how much longer since I have already waited over 27 minutes and only have a 30 minute lunch. Was told, “I don’t know about another 10 minutes”. If they are such short staffed then you need to tell people on the phone when they call for an order AND/OR at the very least tell them it’ll take more than the 20 minutes then. Very poor communication and follow through from this business. I ended up eating elsewhere!

So good China is definitely NOT so good and with this latest inconvenient experience I will NEVER give them any future business. Plus I told all my coworkers all about it!! Their food isn’t even that good so I’m not even sure how they can stay a float as it is. Plenty of other local Chinese restaurants that are better tasting, more accommodating and on time...

For what it's worth, I'm an Asian person reviewing an Asian restaurant.

If you have an itch for Chinese food, this place will scratch it and have you coming back for more. We ordered the Spicy Jade Wontons, Hot and Sour Soup, and Fish Fillet Szechuan Style.

The jade wontons were more meat filled than I'm use to and for spicy food lovers add a small dot of their hot mustard (yum!).

The hot and sour soup was more pepper forward, but as a hard critic for my go-to soup... it was on-point.

Finally, just hearing a dish called "fish fillet (whatever)" left me thinking it was going to be cheap fish... it wasn't. Honestly, I was not sure what the fish was, but it was on the meatier (not light and flakey) side of the spectrum. It was breaded, crispy, and well seasoned. If I had one complaint, it could have used a bit more szechaun sauce to pour over rice.

If I compare the quality of the food for the price, dinner entrees and lunch specials are $1-2 cheaper than I'd expect. But don't take my word for it, look at the pictures I took and try it...
