China Recipe — Restaurant in Falcon

My husband and I have a joke about this place. It's call "China Recipe" because it's literally the one recipe. 🤣

In all seriousness though, if you order "orange-flavored" chicken and the General Tao's chicken, it is the same sauce, just different things added to it (like orange peels to the orange chicken). I also think it is just sweet and sour sauce, that's it! So really no distinction between the two.

The sesame chicken we ordered did have a distinct sauce, so at least that was different!

The egg rolls were included free with our order with a coupon, but man they were GROSS. Instead of the crispy cabbage filling we're used to, it was like mushy sauerkraut consistency. Not appetizing, but at least we didn't pay for them!

We ordered here because Bamboo Garden is closed on Tuesdays and we really wanted Chinese food, but it's not our go-to. The reason I gave this place 2 stars instead of one is because the food wasn't entirely bad (minus the egg rolls) and the portions were HUGE, so it was a good bargain for what you pay. We've had our leftovers for lunch for the past two days and we're still working through it!

I hope they work on improving their recipes and maybe this could be our new place, but until then it's better to hold out for...

This has been our go-to Chinese restaurant. They always had great food and friendly service. The past two times have been a complete disappointment 😞 Every time we order it is well over $100. With a fairly pricey meal you'd expect spectacular food! Tonight's order was the last we will be placing with China Recipe. The last time we ordered the food was so-so and my family became ill. We brushed it off and thought it must have been something else. Unfortunately tonight's food was worse than the last! We couldn't even get through dinner before a few family members became ill. We all now have food poisoning! What a horrible way to spend Mother's Day evening and be out $127 for garbage food. I'm not sure what has changed there but it is not for the better! The beef and broccoli smelled rotten, the shrimp dishes are mainly vegetables with very, very little shrimp...I could go on and on but it is a moot point as we will never return again! I suggest you spare yourself and your families intestines and steer clear from, China Recipe in...

I've been frequenting this restaurant for 6 years now and really loved the place.

Unfortunately, it seems to have changed ownership over the new year, and everything has gone down hill. The recipes for everything have changed for the worse, they give you those gross mushy egg rolls like you get from Panda express, and the new wait staff is much less attentive to customers.

I am very disappointed since it was honestly my favorite restaurant around here for years. I would not recommend this establishment any longer, and I won't be eating here again.

On 7/23/24 I went back to see if it had improved.

Even though the waitress repeated my order back to me when taking my order, I received something different, and THEN SHE TRIED TO TELL ME WHAT I ORDERED WASN'T ON THE MENU. I had to show her the menu. In the restaurant she works at. After she already repeated my order back to me at the start.

I don't even know what to...
