I recommend the jasmine tea, steamed rice and fortune cookies. All were delicious. I don't recommend anything that required refrigeration, because you will likely taste everything stored along with it and a bit of stale walk-in cooler air for good measure. The "8 bone" bbq spare ribs were about 2" - 2 1/2" long. They tasted like refrigerator. It was in every bite. My entré was "Shrimp Wonderful"... Wonderful it was not. Again, every bite I tasted the stale refrigerator. It was so disappointing. Everything looked great, it was the underlying taste that entirely spoiled it for me. The high point was my waitress. She seemed genuinely pleasant and very efficient too. I didn't have the heart to tell her that my food tasted awful. I only spoke to one of the two young guys standing at the reception area. One claimed to be the owner's son. He didn't really seem to be very well acquainted with the different House Specialties or the various other offerings either. I'm willing to bet that he doesn't eat off the menu very often. The atmosphere was a bit tired, so common in aging small family run restaurants. The owners might want to ask the 2 young guys for some tips on modern Asian pop culture or the elderly waitress for some suggestions of fabulous cultural touches. I'm reminded of a fantastic Thai restaurant in Minneapolis whose chef traveled regularly to Thailand, bringing back the most amazing carved wooden treasures. Half of the pleasure of the experience was encountering a new piece of artwork or furniture that was just as sublime as the cuisine. Her restaurant, bar and patio were packed every night. There's was a tattered banner hanging outside laying claim to being the best Chinese restaurant in the county for several years running. The last year indicated was several years ago. That might have been the last year the refrigerator got a good clean. If the owners can fix the taste issue, they might start winning the award again. It could really be a...
Read moreGood evening today is Friday, 11 August I recently visited China delight. I have done that in the past several times in the last six months the food is outstanding. I’ve never had an issue tonight when I brought our old home. It was missing was in the oven asked for fried wontons with meat in it When I arrived home, my wife and I unpacked all the food because we had company and apparently the ground/the cover wasn’t on properly and it spilled all over the bed all over the floor so I called just to let them that the next time they should make sure the covers on correctly again, I want you to know I never had another problem before I and the young man answered the phone. I explain to him who I was, and explain to him what the problem was before I could get any other words out after I told him about the spillage he told me that when they gave me the bags so it was intact. It was my fault. My problem I wasn’t looking for anything, I just wanted to alert them then I went on to say and the order was incorrectly wrong missing two eggrolls, and also wontons that we ordered we’re not wontons now we just flat wonton chips I never complain about any eating establishment and I’m not complaining about their food. The customer service is a lot to be desired as I was told. Basically it’s tough so I politely say I guess you don’t want my business and I was the young man hung up on me, so I just want to alert people that the food is good, but the customer service is very very very poor And I hopefully when you get your orders home they will be correct and if you do happen to call up, they will hopefully not jump down your throat telling you so I am reading them at 2.0 for...
Read morerecently visited China Delight and ordered the sweet-and-sour chicken combo with lo mein and an egg roll. The first time I went, the lady behind the register—who I believe was one of the original owners—was very kind and genuine. Although I felt a little uncomfortable when she touched my hair and asked if it was real, I decided to overlook it because she was otherwise very pleasant, and the food was delicious.
On today, I decided to go back for the same sweet-and-sour chicken combo. Unfortunately, on my way home, I realized the orange chicken sauce had spilled all over my bag. I turned around and went back to the restaurant to politely ask for a new bag and some new sauce.
The woman who helped me was nice, but the man who came out afterward was not helpful at all. He seemed irritated and didn’t try to assist me with repackaging or cleaning up my food. Instead, he came out with a dinner plate, which didn’t make sense since my order was already packaged to go. It felt like he was more focused on rushing me out than actually resolving the problem.
Even other customers noticed what was happening and sided with me, which shows how uncomfortable the situation was. I felt disrespected and dismissed. I’ve worked in fast food before, so I completely understand how busy things can get—but customer service still matters. This experience was very disappointing, especially after such a good...
