China Platter Restaurant

Great spot for some Chinese food…read more I was visiting some friends in Utah and they were really excited to take me to this restaurant. They said it was their favorite in town and that I just had to try it so I was really excited for it. When we arrived, we didn't realize, but it was prom night and so a lot of kids were dressed up in there prom outfits. Because we made a reservation, we were seated quickly. The server was really friendly and very helpful, very knowledgeable of the menu. We decided to do it, Family style and ordered a couple different things to share. We started off with an order of their Dumplings, then ordered cashew nut chicken, beef, and broccoli, and fried rice. The Dumplings were really big and fresh, so that was super good. The flavor was really nice. The cashew chicken was so good! The sauce that they used in the flavors were really good. The beef and broccoli was also yummy. The sauce with the seasonings that they chose, tasted like your traditional beef and broccoli. The fried rice was also very traditional. Definitely something you would expect. Overall, all the food had really great quality and tasted exactly how you would think so. I definitely think if you're looking for Chinese food in Utah, this is a great place to start.

We ordered 4 entrees family style to share at the table. Three dishes came out fairly quickly, but the 4th dish didn't arrive for nearly 30 minutes. Since we were all sharing the meal, we eventually ate the three dishes while waiting, and by the time the final entree arrived, the meal was basically over. When we brought the issue up to the manager, instead of focusing on customer service or finding a reasonable solution, we were met with excuses. She said, "If I take it off the bill, I have to take it off the table." That completely missed the point. We ordered the dish because we wanted it as part of our meal -- we weren't asking for it to be taken away. After making us wait 30 minutes while the rest of the table had already finished eating, the obvious customer service move would have been to acknowledge the inconvenience, comp the dish, and still let us enjoy what we ordered. Instead, Tess focused on explaining "owner policy" rather than taking care of a customer issue. After decades of loyalty to Mandarin, it was genuinely disappointing to experience such inflexible and poor customer service over something that should have been handled far better.

Disclaimer: I'm Asian so I have a higher standard for Asian food. But from what I had here, it…read moreisn't even great for American Chinese food. And I'm really puzzled by the high ratings of this place here on Yelp. I had the sautéed beef, which is listed as "Sa Ti" on the menu, so when it was brought out and announced as "sautéed beef," I was a bit confused. While the vegetables were decent, the beef was tough and from the flavor was a cheap cut. The hoisin sauce was not thick enough and a bit too runny like maybe water added.(?) This also made the flavor weak. After the first disappointing bite of beef, I only picked at the vegetables. I didn't finish it nor did I ask for a take home box. In my opinion, looking over at the people at my table (I was at a club meeting), everything looked on the cheap side. They all seemed to enjoy their meals, though. The portions are huge, so you'll get a lot of mediocre food. The service was OK. We were a large party of about 45. They knew beforehand we were coming. We noticed that even though our table was first to order, we were one of the last to get our food. One person at our table got her food significantly later than we did. There was one table that still didn't have their food when we got our checks. Water refills were never checked and neither was my soda. The Dr. Pepper was good... 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

Char Sil noodle soup- one of our favorites!

There is something about their eggdrop soup that I absolutely adore. So different from anywhere else.

A co-worker insisted we go to this place and it is near the refineries in North Salt Lake, so it was close by. While parking, I took a look at the building and was not sure what to think. Upon walking in, my friend said to just sit wherever. The owner soon came over and the dream began. This dude was incredible. He is personable and you can tell he loves what he does. He quickly explained how things work and there are food items and instructions in the wall, as well. I chose steak (ribeye) and seafood (salmon) and mashed potatoes. I almost regret the mashed potatoes, not because of the taste, but only because I didn't understand how incredible each of his sides could be. We had a party of seven and the dishes I witnessed prepared were unbelievable. He even even taught use how to make our own sauces.

I grew up in Bountiful and China Platter was my first Chinese restaurant. It's ok. I've been back to eat a few times since then and It's not bad, it has its own style and it has an authentic ambiance. But honestly, if you're in bountiful looking for good Chinese, try Wok Lin for great take out or the Mandarin for dine-in. read more

So it would've hopefully been a $10 meal ended up being a $20 meal. Unfortunately, their sesame chicken is unlike any other place's sesame chicken I've had. Instead of a chicken that could perhaps be interchanged with orange chicken or General Tsaos, what you get is the your basic deep fried chicken pieces and then on the side is maybe a dipping sauce? Maybe you're supposed to point over? I can imagine their "honey sesame chicken" is a great differentiator menu piece, but it wasn't at all what I was looking for. And the fried rice was just OK - pretty run of the mill, and definitely not worth having to spend an additional $6 to get it. Word to the wise, if you want a typical, deep fried and sticky sesame chicken, order the orange chicken and just imagine the sesame seeds on it. All that said - the inside was very welcoming, and the service was very prompt.
