Customer Reviews
Traveling through and stopped in. So glad I did. Great food and excellent service. Very friendly. Our meals were excellent and served very fast.
Worst Chinese food I’ve had in a while. Better off saving your money and going the distance to Panda Express about 3 miles away on 3rd. I was served very overfried sweet and sour chicken with old smelling (and probably tasting like feet if I could guess what old feet tasted like) rice. The place looks clean probably because nobody goes in there. On top of the cashier didn’t understand much English. I would not recommend anyone eat here; EVER.
We order here quite often we love there orange chicken and generals chicken and chicken low mien, I scored 2 stars because we tried a different dish which was shrimp broccoli and the second we open the container you can instantly smell the shrimp being dirty. It wasn’t cleaned that we couldn’t eat or enjoy the dish we had to throw it outside because it stank up the kitchen.
Guys, I beg you, please do better. Kearney needs a good quality Chinese restaurant. I ordered the kung pao chicken and beef lo mein. The kung pao chicken had deep fried chicken parts in it, along a with the sauce which is normally a bit oily. The chicken was soggy because the batter it was fried in soaked up the sauce, making it an awful texture. You could improve this dish by a lot by not using breaded chicken. The beef lo mein was basically spaghetti noodles instead of authentic lo mein noodles. The flavor was okay, more like a Cantonese flavor than Szechuan. As such it was kind of sweet, with a dominant plum/anise flavor. Szechuan lo mein is usually garlicky and savory, which was what I was expecting. Not terrible but I wouldn’t crave this.
The food is delicious! They have the best lemon chicken and orange chicken around! The young lady behind the counter is outstanding, kind and very personable. It is a delight each time I go in and see her knowing we will have a wonderful interaction. Even though the restaurant has been there a long time, and feels a bit rundown, she single handedly creates a great and welcoming atmosphere.
