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.

Sad day: Very disappointing experience tonight. Between the 4 of us, we've probably spent a…read morecombined 100 years dining at Mandarin, which made this experience even more frustrating. 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. By the way Amber our Server was great

Love their Christmas decor!

The interior of the restaurant was too much. The color of the walls are bright orange and green…read more The seating was a dark red which is nice. Maybe they chose the colors to attract customers, who knows? Now on to the food, the prices are amazing! Oh one more thing I am Chinese and grew up eating authentic Chinese food. So I would say I'm pretty familiar with authentic and Americanized Chinese food. The popular dishes are the two combo plates. One side with two entrees is 6.25 and the size is the togo boxes with three sections. They also have another combo that comes with one side and three entrees. I think it was a dollar more, not sure? But still a great deal for such a large portion. I got the one side with two entrees, my side was the vegetable lo mein and my two entrees were the beef with string beans and sesame chicken. I was able to get a fresh batch of beef with string beans, yay! The flavor was tasty, but the beef was definitely cheap because it was chewy. My husband also got a different dish that included beef and his was also chewy. The sesame was eh, it tasted more like sweet and sour. I am a huge fan of hot and sour soup and I have tried many different ones. Their hot and sour was okay, it was kind of sour but not spicy at all. It needed a bit more flavor. I didn't hate it and I would go back if I were craving hot and sour, which is common for me haha. I definitely plan on going back to try their non combo dishes. They had many other options which is a plus for such a small place. Overall the food was decent and the workers are nice!

Very nice place, friendly staff and fantastic food…read more We came around 11:30 and it wasn't crowded. After being seated we received a nice small salad for starters, very fresh and tasty dressing. Ordered off the LUNCH menu and started with fresh spring rolls (our personal favorite), I ordered chicken Pad Thai and my husband ordered mixed veggie stir fry with chicken (without rice) and the BEST Thai ice tea anywhere!!! The shrimp spring rolls were HUGE, very fresh and excellent. Pad Thai was fresh and tasted so delicious. Took home half because the spring rolls were huge and so filling. The mixed veggie stir fry with a side of another salad instead of rice he said was terrific. If you have not been here you are missing a great meal, all for under $30!! Where can you find an excellent meal for that price and sit down with calm music to listen to..

I found the food at "Thai In Town" in Bountiful to be mediocre at best. In regards to "authentic…read moreThai", this place just definitely isn't it. I tried their Garlic and Pepper Stir-Fry (with steak), cream cheese wonton appetizer (comes with 6 total), and their Thai Iced Coffee. The Garlic and Pepper Stir-Fry comes with a fried egg which sadly was the whole highlight of the entree (the fried egg was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious). Sadly, the dinner entree was more of a lunch entree in regards to portion size, and came across more like beef stew down to the thick dressing. Though I requested the spiciest authentic Thai heat level, it definitely didn't have much spice other than a bunch of ground pepper strewn about. You do get your choice of either Jasmine White Rice or Brown Rice with the entree. I went with brown, and that was a huge mistake. Completely bland. Tasted like cardboard. No flavor, no aroma, no nothing! It was gross to say the least and got tossed immediately after one bite. The Cream Cheese Wonton appetizer was actually pretty good and well stuffed; though the included "Chili Sauce" appeared to be nothing more than oil, vinegar (definitely had a strong aroma of it), and a few chili flakes. Fortunately the wontons were flavorful enough and didn't really need much dressing. The Thai Iced Coffee was the smallest that I've ever received. Put it next to a 12 oz can, and as you can see in the photo, definitely much smaller than a 12 oz regular canned beverage. I also had requested "low/minimal" ice and it had a cupful of it. Overall was not super impressed with this restaurant but it also wasn't exactly the worst that I've ever tried or had. Would I try them again? Probably. Just not any time soon.

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.

So, that being said, this is a good location. Pre pandemic, they handled crowds well. The line went fast and I never waited long. When everything was totally shut down, they were quick and reliable. Once things started opening up, they kept their dinning room closed for a bit longer. It's a small place, so I respected that they didn't want a lot of people gathering. But I didn't know you had to order online and couldn't just go in. When I showed up, an employee told me to order online and then tell her my name. They would make my food ASAP instead of making me wait 45 minutes. Later, when I would order online from home, it would never take long to be ready. And as for the food, it's always fresh and good.

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.

I went on a Saturday, looking for some sesame chicken. Unfortunately, they are lunch special only…read moreruns Monday through Friday, so I had to get a regular sesame chicken and then because I wanted the fried rice instead of the steamed rice I had to pay an extra six dollars for that. 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.
