Tong Fong Low — Restaurant in Oroville

Seated right away. Staff was very friendly. We ordered cream cheese and crab wontons, chicken chow mein- no veggies for our kids, Mongolian beef and steamed rice, and kung pow chicken with extra heat and steamed rice. I was shocked at the pricing for this place, $20 per plate, the chicken chow mein was around $11 tho. But then the price made sense when these heaping plates came out within 5-10 minutes of ordering. But then again most Asian restaurants have very large servings, these were bigger than normal.

Food tasted good, the plain chicken chow mein was bland but nice and hot. The cream cheese and crab wontons were good, the sweet and sour sauce tasted weird tho, tangy with a bitter aftertaste. The Mongolian beef and Kung Pow chicken was delicious!

The reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is I was disappointed that I could not “upgrade” a beef chow mein to having the Mongolian beef. Any place I’ve ever been to join can have any flavoring choice of meat with your noodles. Here, you can’t. Plus the plates are very expensive so you’d have to choose or get both. Seems silly, but Its a commodity I really appreciate. Also I do wish they had half plates. These massive plates of food are borderline ridiculous.

Overall, I’ll go again, but I’d rather order one or two things for the whole family to pick up and eat at home than sit in the restaurant and everyone choose what they want. Just...

My mom and sister have been raving about this place for a few weeks now. I can see why they enjoyed it. We stopped in and ordered take out on Tuesday night. The food was ready quickly. The portions are more than generous, filling up the take out boxes (the Styrofoam compartmented ones) near completely. It took three separate sittings for me to finish. At other Chinese restaurants, I usually finish it in one sitting. The food was delicious. Additionally, the staff was very friendly. The dining area, although we didn't stay long, was comfortable. The restaurant is set up like an American diner. It has booths and table with chairs. It also has a counter lined with chairs that are bolted to the ground but spin and have a back to them. They were quite comfortable.

The only problem we had was with parking. According to my sister, there is usually ample space. However, that night there was a performance at the state theatre. The street parking was full, as well as the parking lot across the street from the restaurant. We ended up parking in the public lot the next block over but in reality it was not far at all.

Overall, I highly recommend this place and will...

We came for an overnight stay in orovilke after a full day hiking. We were hungry and very excited to try the food since it was well rated. We ordered three items. We are foodies and have had these dishes in many different restaurants all over Bay Area and in the world.

1. Salt and pepper ribs 3 star wasn’t very flavorful but not bad. We’ve had better garlic flavor was not strong and it seemed like it was out of a premade chopped garlic salt and pepper part not strong. Portions were huge so that’s 4 stars Overall 3.5stars
2. wonton soup 4stars The wonton themselves were blah and very bland and the wrappers were terrible. However they topped it with a stir fry of meat snd veggies sautéed in a nice sauce. I’ve never had that before and unusual but delicious pairing. The wonton ehhh but the rest of it was delicious
3. mixed chow fun special was delish 4 stars Noodles were decent semi fresh and the sauté and sauce was delish. (Same as what was on wonton soup)

We had large portions which was a plus and we were hungry and still had leftovers. But the quality is so so since we are used to really good Asian food in our area(and we can cook some...
