chen yang li — Restaurant in Nashua

Stopped in here on a whim because it was close to the hotel my daughter and I were staying at it. My hopes weren't too high for a shopping plaza Chinese food restaurant. The food here is INCREDIBLE! We ordered a pu-pu platter for 2, veggie lo-mein and general tso's chicken. I loved that they serve the general tso's with more veggies than the typical broccoli (red peppers, mushrooms, broccoli and chili peppers) the sweet spicy balance was perfect. The lo-mein was full of vegetables, the platter was delicious. The servings were huge, we ate till we were full at the restaurant, had a snack before bed and lunch the next day! The food was plated beautifully, with edible flowers made from fruits and vegetables. Even though they were busy we were seated right away, got our drinks quickly and our order was taken when we were ready. The food took a little while to come out but like I said they were busy and the amount of detail each order gets, it was well worth the wait. I appreciate that the server was attentive but not over bearing. Some places check on you so often it's hard to hold a convo or you're forced to do the awkward "my mouth is full" nod thing or they constantly ask you if you're ready to pay. Price wise it was a bit expensive for 2 people but honestly you get what you pay for. It's not over priced microwave dinners, it's a full size quality meal, I'm okay with paying more for that. I will absolutely be eating here again and I am genuinely looking...

There was a host that seated us upon walking in. No wait. The place wasn't too busy. The atmosphere was really nice. They had actual table cloths and cloth napkins. It was kind of an open concept layout with a bar in the middle. The waitress came to our table minutes after we were seated and served us water. We were there just to try the sushi out but we ended up ordering Crab Rangoon's as well, which were amazing! Probably the best I've ever had. And I LOVE Crab Rangoon's! For sushi, we got Maki rolls: The Red Sox Roll, Spider Roll and Shrimp Tempura Roll. Spider rolls are a must for me when I go out for sushi. I order them everytime. The king crab legs in these was not that great though. They were hard and not too meaty, which I thought was odd. And the cucumber was also a little hard. Almost like it wasn't ripe. I wasn't too impressed. The Shrimp Tempura Rolls weren't that bad, again, that's another roll I always order when I go out for sushi. I got a side of eel sauce and that was tasty. The boyfriend had the Red Sox Roll and he said they were pretty good. The waitress didn't come around a whole lot. We had to flag her down to get a to-go box. However she did package it all up for us, including putting the side order of eel sauce in a little container for me. I would absolutely go back and definitely check out more items on the menu! Overall it was...

AWFUL TAKEOUT EXPERIENCE!!!! I called The number online to order, They said they only delivered to Nashua, even though I'm right around the corner, but technically considered Merrimack. Not even 2 miles from the place. She tells me 10 to 15 minutes the food will be ready. My boyfriend leaves in the appropriate amount of time to go pick the food up And he winds up sitting there for an hour and 15 minutes waiting on the food. Meanwhile, all of the online orders are going in and out with a breeze. People are being seated people who are showing up at the same time as him are leaving before him. They said there were something wrong with their phone service but when I call back up there, I can hear him in the background and it's very obviously them that has answered the phone originally. No soy sauce, and no chopsticks for the sushi When he asked for some, they threw handfuls of them at him. It was the most disrespectful, unprofessional takeout experience I have ever had. They have no idea what they're doing hand has no idea what the other hand is doing. 10 out of 10 do not...
