Wonderful Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Citrus Heights

Greasy, multiple dishes tasted as if they failed to clean the cooking pans/dishes used before switching to make new dishes, and worse of all happened to 2 different people in my party (20 minutes after starting to eat) they had to rush to bathroom because they had diarrhea.

Furthermore, here are examples for why I will never go back to "Wonderful""s again: the (1) beef and broccoli (savory) tasted as the if it were made with the walnut shrimp (sweet dish) dish pans; the (2) sweet and sour chicken was hard, dry, and lacking in a palatable flavored sauce (bottled from your local supermarket tastes better than the sauce that was offered; the (3) fried rice had so much oil/grease that I am still burping it up hours later; (4) the cost to feed 7 people (5 adults and 2 children) cost with tip was $134+ (which is astronomical when I could go to Panda Express for half the cost with a tip included into the amount also). Lastly, the (5) atmosphere and food are not what they uses to be in yesteryear (you can tell they have cut corners for materials/food to get by but at twice the cost the food you are being charged for). So, if you are questioning whether or not you should go to "Wonderful," I suggest that you don't and buy a higher quality and cheaper food at your local Panda Express's instead. You will have superior tasting and reasonable priced meal than you will find here at Wonderful's (7042 Sylvan Rd, Citrus Heights, CA...

Wonderful Chinese is as the restaurant's name implies, wonderful. I was confident the meal I was about to take to my aunt's for dinner was going to be good when after waiting 45 minutes I finally received my order. The amount of people I watched walking in and out of this business suggested just that, great Chinese cuisine. And it's a good thing it was great. Between the people who are counting on me to bring dinner on time, and my stomach growling like a lion, it was my hope the food would be worth the wait. The Broccoli & Beef tasted great. The broccoli was cooked but still crisp, and the beef was tender, not stringy and chewy. The rice was flavorful and did not leave you wondering if you consumed the box it came in. The entire meal was very good right down to the fortune cookies, which were as fresh as one could expect from a cookie containing a 10,000 year old prophesy. The cost of the meal was somewhat more than I expected. I am having a difficult time understanding how prices have exploded over such a short time. My head seems to be hanging out in the 90s right up to where I'm handed the bill and I'm rocked right into 2021. Overall, Wonderful Chinese was a good experience and I would recommend this business to anyone desiring a "Wonderful...

Have some respect for yourself- don't eat here. Dirty restaurant with poor service and unjustifiably high prices. The owners are also very sneaky.

I went for dinner with 2 friends and they basically scammed us. 3 orders of orange chicken ($13 each), 1 order of cream cheese wontons ($11) should have added up to $49. These were the only items we ordered. The bill comes and it reads $61.20. We ask the owner why it was so high and they tell us the bowl of rice they brought out was $6 extra. We were not informed that there would be an additional charge for rice. Upon calculating the sum again accounting for the rice and tax we found that an additional dollar was added to the total, which the owner agreed to take off the bill. Whether this was done in error or intentionally is uncertain, but based on the their sneaky behavior I'm tending towards the first option.

We asked the owner why the complimentary soup, egg rolls, and rice were not included with our meal. They told us for an additional 2 dollars per order, we could have had "the dinner package" which includes these things. By them forcing the rice bowl on us at $6 we already paid for "the dinner package" anyway, so it's obvious they didn't want to bring out the other items that should have...
