The wait can be long, but trust me, it's absolutely worth it! Even though they've expanded to multiple locations and opened Little Petals, the original Cordova location is still the best when it comes to authentic flavor! My absolute favorite is definitely the Peony Chicken! It's consistently delicious every single time! So fragrant, tender, and full of flavor. The chef at the Cordova location really knows how to bring out that perfect wok hei (breath of the wok). That incredible aroma and smoky wok flavor make all the difference!

The seating is nice with booths, a giant boat with…read morechair-seating, and a back area with additional chair-seating (best for larger parties over 7+ people). I've been going here for yearsssss and love their hot & sour soup and sushi rolls. Their food, sushi & kitchen, is always made to order. Never the so-called premade, re-heated, bs that other reviews suggest. Including their fried rice. This is also why so some food may take longer to make/be ready at time of pick up. They make the food in the order they receive it via ticket. I'd rather my food be made fresh, and in the order that the ticket of my order comes through to the kitchen, than premade and boxed. Also "extra crispy" just means it's cooked longer... the natural nature of togo condensation will obviously make any " crispy" (extra fried/cooked) food just as "soggy" or whatever. Considering the time that it takes to pick it up and take it home... No, I don't know the owner. This is my own personal experience.

They do offer several wines & sake. The food came out promptly and was very fresh. The special rolls are huge! Definitely more than a mouthful! Although it has been several years since I have been here, I will be back...it is a solid 3.5.

Wang Garden is a solid Chinese food take-out place. BEWARE, though! They are condiment Nazis!!!!!…read moreYou only get 1 or 2 of each condiment per order. Each subsequent packet will cost you 50 cents. No problem for me, as I keep all this stuff in my refrigerator anyways, but it's the principle. Those packets come in super bulk and any other restaurant will throw a handful of them in your bag and not give a hoot. I see other patrons requesting extra packets and the owner gets all militant about charging extra. OWNERS, if you're reading this, you lose more with customers feeling negatively about you vs. the miniscule money you save by being stingy on the packets. Just my 2 cents....and I'll give that you for FREE. That being said, the online ordering they recently added is nice. I like online ordering because any special requests are right there in black and white - - nothing is lost in communication. Hubby always gets sweet and sour chicken. It always seems too greasy to me, but he orders it every time, so maybe he doesn't think it is. I mix my order up a bit...I like the black pepper chicken or steak, the Singapore mei fun, or the curry chicken. I'll go to my grave saying the curry chicken they make uses "S & B Golden Curry" paste and tastes just like what I make at home. (Not a criticism) Orders are always correct. The inside is pretty tacky, with the TV always on and no one watching it. The same items for sale in the display case have been there for the past 5 years. (Who buys that stuff?)

China Spring is my go-to spot for Chinese takeout, and it never disappoints! The menu is pretty typical of a Chinese takeout spot but the food is consistently delicious, and I've never had any issues with my orders. The owner is very nice, which makes supporting this place even better. Some of my favorites are the fried dumplings, mapo tofu, and fried chicken. They also offer a low-diet section with options like boiled beef, chicken, or shrimp with broccoli, which is perfect for a lighter meal. I wish they offered more traditional Chinese dishes but overall, it's a solid spot for tasty, comfort Chinese takeout food! read more
