    Several good luck waving cats here

    Great dinner here! Glad they are OPEN on Sundays. Hot tea, steamed white rice, Hunan Beef $17.95 and steamed mixed vegetables (small) 6.95 - a tasty simple dinner. We relaxed and revived with this good meal. Happy Fortune Cookies finished off our meal. Perfect place for meals to share family style or single diners. Next time, we will try Hot and Sour soup or a chicken dish.

    Ordered four dishes three of the four were good general's chicken is all breading with very little chicken inside. Other three were good though

    We ate at Chef Chang's Chinese restaurant for lunch. It's what you would expect at your typical Chinese restaurant. They have a lunch menu option that lets you pick three dishes, which was nice to try a variety of items. I enjoyed the orange peel chicken that didn't taste like your traditional orange chicken, but had a nice sauce

    Black Pepper Shrimp!

    I'm big on Chinese food as I came from Northern California Bay Area. Dim sum every weekend baby! Currently weekly Dim Sum in Las Vegas Chinatown area. But hey, Chef Cheng's does not disappoint. They are actually from San Francisco Francisco area so they do have special dim sum on their daily specials . I ordered their black pepper shrimp and wanted the head on it but that's a work in progress lol they are string beans. I added chicken and black bean sauce. Absolutely delicious guys, don't pass them. Up Their soups are really good too. .

    Shrimp dumplings.

    Chinese in Elko? Yes, this place may not look like much from the outside but don't let that fool you. The inside vibe it is Chinese Shabby Chic with a green thumb! And the food was delicious, the pork fried rice, spicy honey chicken and the shrimp dumplings were plenty for the daughter and I, we even had leftovers. The service was excellent too! The staff all seemed to work great together and made us feel welcome and taken care of. If we are ever in that neck of the woods again, we'll be back for more!

    House special fried rice, sesame chicken, sweet/sour chicken, broccoli chicken,Mongolian beef and hot/ sour soup, from Chef Cheng.

    Well, this was Very disappointing. I don't usually write bad reviews, but I did this time. For years when we lived here in NV., we held 'Chef Cheng' as the standard by which we would judge all other Chinese food, wherever we would travel. Last night, we ordered several dishes ( for 4 people, and totaled over $100 ). Not only was I surprised by their raised prices since we last visited about a year ago, but the food most definitely was not up to their old standard. Bland, did not seem fresh- just poor. They used to have the Best hot sour soup. Not anymore. In fact, it did not taste remotely the same as it used to. Where was the "tangy" flavor. Just blah.. New chefs? Disappointing, for sure. We won't be going back during our visit here.

    Day before yesterday is the day I discovered that Chef Chengs is open on Christmas!!! My boyfriend and I were 'Christmas Orphans' this year and we wanted good food Christmas night. With McDonald's or ramen at home our only options, I was absolutely ecstatic to see Cheng's was open! I called ahead of time to double check if they were (because sometimes google lies lol) and they were so nice and asked me if I needed to make reservations. It's good to know they take reservations even though we didn't need one. The restaurant was not busy and we were sat immediately. We decided to share some Crab Rangoons, Shrimp Chow Mein and a Beef and Scallop Sizzling Plate with White Rice and Egg Drop Soup. Everything came out super quickly and soon we were feasting on our Christmas Dinner. It was fresh and amazing. It just reminds me again why Chef Chengs is my favorite Chinese food in Elko. Amazing service, amazing food and now adding "open on Christmas" to that list.

    50 dollars for this. Lol

    Kind of disappointing. I spent $50 dollars for what seemed like two noodles one shrimp and one piece of steak and one piece of chicken. And then they only gave me 4 crab ragoons which is enough to make a grown man cry. The chicken teriyaki was really good though. Noodles are BLAND. Had to scrape for dear life for the teriyaki sauce from the bottom of the to go plate from the teriyaki chicken. If i could give -5 stars i would.

    China Garden - Wor wonton and "egg rolls" that were actually veggie spring rolls

    If you fancy Asian food flare or if you're craving for Chinese food in a small town or let's say,…read moreyou want to simply try Asian food in Elko, NV, I strongly recommend China Garden. It is located next to Ace Hardware or Khoury, which is now Ridleys. Yes. China Garden is unpretentious. The flavors are really authentic Chinese. I have not tried their orange chicken. However, I always order their veggies and egg foo young (egg omelette) for take-outs. What I like about China Garden is that they never try to impress but to only serve good Asian food. The restaurant is not fancy but very clean and simple. Most of their business comes from take-outs orders. Before I discovered China Garden, I heard from a friend that he did not have a good experience when he tried eating in at the restaurant. He told me that the Asian lady was so unfriendly and unpleasant. That did not stop me from trying out this restaurant. By this time, the Asian lady warms up to me and actually pleasant once she sees you more often. She gets familiarize with you as patrons of her restaurant. Service is always fast. Food is satisfying. To top it all, China Garden is better than Chef Cheng, another Chinese restaurant in Elko. China Garden serves authentic flavors of Chinese cuisine. They're fresh and real authentic. It stays true to Asian cuisine. I hope, the owners read this coz they deserve a good review for all their handwork. I don't know the owners. I just thought of sharing my food experience so everyone can enjoy having an awesome meal.

My boyfriend and I came in for lunch after running out to the greenhouse in Lamoille. I really wanted Won Ton soup and their prices just made sense. Upon entering there were no other customers in sight and we were able to sit at one of only four tables in the whole dining room. I ordered Wor Wonton soup, egg rolls, hot tea, and my boyfriend ordered the Beef and veggie lunch plate with egg drop soup. Food came out VERY fast, we didn't have to wait long at all. Both egg drop and the wonton soups were very peppery. Like black pepper. Though I didn't see any pepper in the soup so maybe it's white pepper. Either way. It was to the point of being spicy. The broth was super bland other than the pepper almost like just water. It's only redemption was the won tons themselves which were flavorful and well made. It was loaded with veggies though I was sad it didn't have any bok choy. It had chicken beef and shrimp which was great! The egg rolls were actually spring rolls, and I don't believe they had any meat in them. Just veggie spring rolls. My boyfriend enjoyed his beef and veggies, though it was served on a paper plate which I found odd for a restaurant. All said and done it wasn't terrible food, and how cheap it is makes it worth it. But if you're looking for amazing Chinese food...you'll want to head on into Elko and hit up Chengs.

    My husband and I were excited to try Teriyaki Madness after moving to Elko, but after three…read morefrustrating experiences, we've decided we will not be coming back. Each time we've visited, we placed our order, paid, and then were told after the fact that they were out of key ingredients--an unacceptable and avoidable issue that speaks to poor management and customer service. Most recently, on Thursday, June 5th, we walked in and specifically asked the cashier if they were out of any food before ordering. She assured us everything was available, so I ordered a tofu bowl with noodles and vegetables, and my husband ordered a spicy chicken bowl. After paying, we sat down to wait, only to be approached by a staff member informing us that they were out of spicy tofu--despite confirming its availability beforehand. When I was asked if I'd like to substitute it with chicken, I explained that I am a vegetarian, making the substitution impossible. After three failed attempts to dine here, we've lost any confidence in this establishment's ability to serve customers reliably. Teriyaki Madness needs to address their inventory issues and ensure honest communication with patrons. Until then, we won't be giving them another chance. I would appreciate it if management or corporate could reach out to discuss this situation further. Thank you.
