Chinatown Kitchen — Restaurant in Northfield Township

In of itself the food was a bit bland but altogether fine. Ordered generals chicken, chow mein, and other chicken dishes. Chicken dishes were overall not the issue.

My main reason for deducting stars is on the chow-mein dish. Chow-mein translates to stir fried noodles. Choa/chow - stir fried. Mein/mian - noodles. Instead I was given chop suey with a side of mein gong - or a noodle cracker. It is not considered an actual noodle in chinese cooking - and never has been. This is not what chow mein is - or means in literal translation. There was no stir frying - and even if I looked past the wrong cooking method being used, the package of mein gong was tiny, and wouldn't be enough for the large amount of chop suey included. Even if I was to forgive all of that - the dish tasted bad - little to no spice or flavor and watered down. When I called in and asked about refunds/replacements I was told no , that this would not be an option because it is how the restaurant has always done it. History does not make it right - especially when you're misrepresenting...

Been going to this local restaurant for years ... Originally for their Dim Sum but since for many dishes off their HUGE menu. I recommend grabbing one of their little carryout menus and they have photos and deeper descriptions for those of us challenged by their Chinese language ... then ordering via their excellent online system which they have perfected since bringing a younger generation of family onboard. I'm guessing they are the brains behind the online interface. But it works great, and is fast and transparent.

They accommodate special orders online and still carry both "small" and full size orders at very reasonable prices, somehow. Which nowadays with Bidenflation is MUCH appreciated. HIGHLY...

I don’t mind small, in the middle of nowhere places… they usually surprise me! But this place…? Let’s just say, I should have kept driving!!! Food- not great. Mushy & goopy in fact. Price- high for what you get Aspect- umm… I should’ve run out when I came in to find a homeless person sitting inside! 😂

Oh—- & if you decide to try it anyway, be prepared to eat with your hands! (No utensils or napkins, even though I specifically asked if they were INSIDE my bag)

But the egg roll was good! (& Chinese fortune cookie-...
