China Cary — Restaurant in Cary

My wife and I drove a little out of our way to try the food here based on the large number of positive reviews and WOW do we regret it. I will not bore you with the full explanation of how poor the service was (even just for takeout) as the overwhelming issue is the food,,just know that they were slow. The reason we will never eat there again is how awful the food was. I ordered chicken fried rice, and aside from the fact that I got 3 inch strips of rubber that they were passing off as chicken, there was nothing "fried" about this rice. At first I though they had just tossed some cold peas and carrots into some yellow rice and warmed it up (note there was no egg, I hate egg but even I know that's how you make fried rice) but after i microwaved it the next day I got my first tell-tale sign of it at some point being fried. Apparently hours, if not that morning, before I ordered they fried up some plain white rice and then tossed in some cold veggies when it was time to send it out the door. My wife ordered a Chinese take-out staple, General Tso's. Here we go again with the rice, same story. Have you ever had Chinese at the mall and gotten that stringy, clumpy, chewy chicken covered in a rubbery breading? Well if you enjoyed that than you would have loved this. Oh, and did I mention the favored water we were provided with to dip our...

Customer service was nice. I really wanted to like this place, but the food was lacking. Ordered General Tso’s chicken extra spicy. Chicken coating was soggy, sauce tasted like barbecue sauce with zero spice - no hint of any garlic or ginger or pepper. Hot and sour soup was more like egg drop with tofu. No veggies or flavor to be found. Chicken lo mein had overly dark, salty noodles and dry chicken. Sadly, another Chinese place to scratch off the go-to list. So far, nobody beats...

Not really a dine in restaurant even though they have tables. To go is most of their business. The family that runs this business has an excellent track record for making sure orders are correct and they are very friendly. The food is consistently above average and their expected wait time has always been met or been ready sooner. I eat here often since 2012 and never once have I had a bad meal. For take out this restaurant is 5 out of 5 stars. Keep up...
