China 8

China 8 has easily become my go-to Chinese takeout spot in Mount Dora. My usual order is the…read morechicken with mixed vegetables, and it never misses. The vegetables are cooked well, the sauce is flavorful, and it's just one of those meals I know I can count on. Their egg rolls are also a standout for me, especially compared to some of the other Chinese takeout places nearby. We've also had the fried chicken wings, which come out extra crispy and delicious, and the house fried rice is seriously the bomb. My fiancé usually rotates between the Hunan chicken, Happy Family, and General Tso's chicken, and those have all been solid too. The staff are genuinely kind and welcoming, which makes me like this place even more. Just know that they get busy in the evenings, especially going into the weekend. It's common to see a line out the door, so order online when you can and bring a little patience. It's worth it.

First time here and boy was I impressed! The place was very busy (both phone orders & line waiting)…read moreand I take my hat off to the young lady running the front line. She was polite, efficient & good with multi tasking. The place was very very clean & the small waiting area was only 4 tables. It certainly was a bit intimate to say the least while waiting. Our order was ready in 20 minutes (which was stated to us) and they got it done on time. We brought it home...they got the order spot on. Because of the cost of our order, we received a free crab Rangoon which I was delighted and they were just delicious. The order is placed in a tote bag that is insulated and sealed to Keep hot. They are really nice bags and food was hot and ready to eat. We got Sweet & sour chicken with white rice, orange beef with pork fried rice, 2 egg rolls, beef teriyaki & our free crab Rangoons. Everything was absolutely delicious & flavors were spot on. I will share the portions are generous and you may end up with leftovers. The duck sauce was good and I could have used more. I am a huge fan and will make this my go to place from now on.

Chung Xiang Chinese Restaurant

We stopped by Chung Xiang Chinese Restaurant on a recommendation for good fried rice. There were no…read moreother customers in the restaurant when we got there. However, the two people working behind the counter were on the phone taking mobile orders. There are two kiosks available for ordering. I started to order on one of the kiosks when one of the workers who had finished on the phone asked if she can take our order. We ordered and paid. We were told it would be about fifteen minutes so we decided to go next door to Publix and then return for the food. Upon our return, there were other people waiting in the restaurant. Our food was ready shortly after. We gathered the box that everything we ordered was packed in and left. The Fried Rice was as good as suggested. It had the vegetables and sprouts included. The Krab Rangoons had a generous amount of filing and were delicious. The Tofu was also tasty and flavorful. It was served with mixed vegetables and cooked well. I would definitely return and order again from Chung Xiang Chinese Restaurant if in the mood for Chinese cuisine.

I recently went into Chung Ying Chinese Food while running an errand for someone else who does. I…read moredo not personally eat here and after what I observed during this visit I have never had the desire to do so. The customer service was remarkably rude, snarky, abrupt and dismissive. Two of the young women working behind the counter stood out in particular. What concerned me most was the apparent blatant difference in the way one of them communicated with and treated customers of color compared with customers who were not people of color. I watched the interactions. The difference was more than noticeable. When a customer places money directly into your hand basic courtesy is to return that customer's change appropriately rather than tossing or dropping it onto the counter. When that kind of behavior appears to change depending upon who is standing on the other side of the counter it raises a legitimate question about whether customers are being treated equally. Every paying customer deserves the same courtesy. What makes this particularly troubling is that Asian Americans are themselves people of color and have their own long history of experiencing discrimination in the United States. Black Americans also fought and sacrificed through generations of civil-rights advocacy that helped dismantle legal and institutional barriers affecting many minority communities. There should therefore be an especially strong appreciation for the importance of dignity and equal treatment. No employee should be performing conversational backflips for one group of customers while becoming curt, dismissive or disrespectful toward another. Treat everyone with the same professionalism and respect. After my experience I also came across a review from a Black male customer describing what sounds like a strikingly similar concern. He specifically questioned whether one of the daughters had a different attitude when serving other people of color and stated that he would not spend his money there again. I did not know about his review before forming my own opinion. Seeing another customer independently describe a similar perceived difference in treatment certainly got my attention. There were also sanitation practices that concerned me. I personally observed handling of money and payment items like credit cards followed by food-related activity in a manner that present cross-contamination concerns. I also observed other conditions inside the establishment that caused me concern from a cleanliness and food-handling standpoint. Those are matters the restaurant should take seriously and must be addressed. The larger issue is simple: learn how to treat people properly. Customers should not have to wonder whether the level of courtesy they receive depends upon their race or skin color. Respect Black customers. Respect customers of color. Respect every customer who walks through the door. People notice how they are treated. They also notice when the treatment changes depending upon who is standing at the counter. Chung Ying Chinese Food can and should do much better and those girls displaying such ignorance at the front counter need to be educated on who they are (PEOPLE OF COLOR TOO) and to behave better when dealing with the other PEOPLE OF COLOR UPON WHOSE SHOULDERS THEY STAND!!!
