Green River Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Kansas City

Green River Chinese Restaurant (Feb. 11, 2023)

This is a very late afternoon take-out order. Found some good reviews, and decided to try out the place as it offers Egg Foo Young, which I want to try out from various parts of the country.

Restaurant is located in a small strip mall. Nothing fancy. It appears this location used to offer some form of a buffet, but this has been discontinued due to Covid the past few years.

As usual, I always order a Combination Egg Foo Young to determine if the ingredients are fresh. Surprisingly, this dish was done very differently from the usual Egg Foo Young I’ve eaten in the other areas. The normal Egg Foo Young involves assorted vegetables with small pieces of meat or chopped meats embedded. This mixture is placed on a large metal ladle, beaten eggs are added to the mixture, and that combination is placed into hot oil and fried to a certain crispness. The end product is eaten over rice with a brown gravy added. Green River does it differently - The Egg Foo Young were smaller patties. No meat was added to the mixture before frying. Larger pieces of meat and shrimp processed for other dishes are stir fried till done, and then placed with the smaller egg patties in its own take-out container, with brown sauce added to the final combination.

The taste of the final product was excellent, with textures not normally found with this dish. The stirred fried meats were very fresh, and the good sized shrimp was particularly succulent and sweet. This is something I did not expect nor experienced before. Considering how tasty this was, I’m very confident everything offered by this restaurant will be of similar high quality. Highly...

I simply go here just for the flat egg noddle lo mein! The Shrimp rolls are a good appetizer but they usually don't have them. The restaurant part isn't operating & is some what creepy oh & FYI the heavy set lady is mean & rude especially on the phone but if you luck out & catch the guy (possibly the son?) He is nice enough.... I'm usually in & right out!... TRIED IT AGAIN TODAY & THE FAT LADY & OLDER MAN WERE SO RUDE IT WAS UNREALISTIC!.. I DON'T CARE HOW I LIKE THE LO MEIN I WILL "NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN OR RECOMMEND IT!" I ACTUALLY LEFT THE FOOD & TOLD THEM TO EAT IT! THE PIC POSTED OF THE RESTAURANT SIDE IS FALSE ADVERTISING!!!... I THINK THEY 'RE EXCEPTIONALLY RUDE TO PEOPLE OF COLOR BECAUSE OF THE AREA OR PAST BUT WHATEVER THE CASE CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THE LIVELIHOOD & I THINK THEY NEED TO "FEEL...

So I ordered a large order of chicken fried rice, large order of chicken lo mein, and a large order of orange chicken and an order of crab Rangoon. The food is really good but my orange chicken was mostly mushrooms which I don’t like it has about 10 small pieces of chicken and it was spicy which I did not order it spicy ( I like spicy food but my kids are don’t) I come here a lot but this was very disappointing that I got a box of mushrooms with orange peels with a small amount of chicken. I will no longer order...
