Cheng's Gourmet — Restaurant in Newark

1st time around: Ordered a quart of Wonton Egg Drop soup (pictured.) The taste was delicious, but the consistency of the soup was.... interesting. It was thick like snot or something. Again, the taste was really good. Would order again just to make sure it was an off day or if it's just how the soup is. Also got the shrimp roll and it was so fresh! Tasted superb. Will definitely return.

2nd and most likely final visit: I had this location rated a 4 for my first time visiting. This time was the nail on the coffin. I ordered the L30 lunch combo with pork and mushrooms.

The dessert was the only exception it was sweet little balls of deep-fried dough rolled in sugar which were yummy. While the portions were very large, we ended up throwing most of it away because we would not want to have to...

I walked in there are children at the table unattended as the guy is working hard to get out orders . The iPad volumes are on high . Hopefully these children get to play and not made to sit 7 days a week from open to close while parents work 🥺 I also work in customer service and no matter how bad my day is I have to go on like it’s the best day everyday . I don’t ignore someone standing in front of me ever the phone can wait . I won’t be back . This is my opinion everyone else can have theirs . As I left no thank you, have a good...
