New Cathay restaurant and lounge — Restaurant in Oregon

I ordered House Special LoMein, Sweet and Sour Chicken, General Tso Chicken, Fried Rice, Pork Egg Foo Young, variety app plate includes crab puffs, one egg roll, fried shrimp, and bbq pork, fried and white rice, egg flour and hot and sour soups. Walking into the establishment, you are greeted by an offensive musty odor yet a very pleasant owner. She took my order and was very polite and allowed me to order a “senior menu combo” for my daughter. No eating in the restaurant (but the bar seemed to be open for gambling and drinking) so I had to take my food home which is exactly 15 minutes away. I do not believe that this made any quality effects on the dinner, I left the restaurant immediately and I use hot bags for our take out. I tasted every item we ordered as I usually do with every new restaurant we try. Sweet and sour chicken: dry, chewy and half of it was just fried batter bits, the sweet and sour sauce was gelatinous with runny spots throughout. We had 2 containers of it, one comes with the appetizer sampler. I stirred it and heated it up and there was not a change. The fried batter was ok, not cakey and thick. General Tso Chicken: it was a different chicken used than the S&S chicken. It was as if it wasn’t chicken at all, but a pressed like meat substitute that when you bit through the chicken your teeth almost bounced back. The texture was unpleasant. The flavor was nothing I’ve ever tasted in my many plates of Gen Tso. It’s my favorite dish to order at multiple different restaurants. This was a bland yet generically sour flavor with no heat at all. Special LoMein: Completely flavorless, the noodles were over cooked and the beef was over cooked and tough, there was not much for veggies. Fried Rice: rice and egg. Pork Egg Foo Young: Very cakey and mushy. Hardly any ingredients and the gravy was very bland. They just dump chunks of pork on top of the gravy. Egg Flower: ok Sweet and Sour soup: Grey in color and extremely sweet! It had more veggies than the LoMein. The taste was awful. The Sample Platter: Shrimp and crab puffs were very greasy, just oozing oil. The BBQ pork was dry. And the egg roll was just terrible, little crumbs of meat shoved into the roll with a generic pork flavoring. I believe everything there is frozen mass produced items and they are not “authentic”, they are using cheap and poor quality ingredients. The entire meal was sadly wasted. Our...

This is one of the worst places I've ever eaten at. You are better eating at Panda Express the prices are nowhere close to what the food tastes like you literally need to be given that food for free the food was Bland nasty the rice was just steamed white old rice the food that they served you was like old food they reheated you can tell they use the grease over and over again all of the fried items taste the same I literally just threw $18 in the garbage you can't even give it one star it is some of the nastiest Chinese food I've ever had you don't have to worry I will never come back and if you think this is Chinese food and you are paying for this garbage you definitely have been bamboozled my stomach never had hurt so bad I couldn't even get a bite out of each item before spitting it out I honestly feel like because there isn't a lot of Chinese restaurants out that way they serve you trash please don't ever give them your money and don't go try it it's not worth it everything was old Bland and the rice was one of the worst I've never had just steamed hard undone rice white rice the chow mein look like a stew that had been boiled together I've never been so outraged in my life but the prices it was like they were selling a five-star meal that was...

Our bartender/ hostess was good Happy hour pricing is better than most All the usual characters that you find at most bars were missing rather nice ambiance. The reason for the low marks Was the food leaves wondering Do they know the definition for food? But, seroiusly Order there house speciality sprimp fried rice, it was terrible the shrimp were like chewing gum tge rice was way over cooked and grainy, seasoning was flat.Any way you look at it leaves a lot to desire. I got 2 bites into it and had to stop. In my personal opinion. Its mine take or leave it as you will. Others may love it or is just I got a bad one idk

I get it they dont have a bunch of orders at the time I ordered it. That opens The temptation to pre cook or par cook' items up in large batches then freeze portions which will be re heated as needed. That pretty much what happened here or it was left over from earlier in the day and re-heated (I may be be wrong may. If i am they need a new cook. That is my professional opinion as a resturanture and chef with over...
