    2 orders of Sesame Chicken Dinner Portion.
    Tyler N.

    Chinatown Bistro is a staple for me. It's good Chinese food for the Uptown Area. I've eaten in once, but I believe the main purpose is to-go. I would recommend ordering on their website and doing a pick-up order. The actual brick and mortar is a bit small, as well as the parking lot. The intersection it lives on is a bit hard to navigate if you're not used to it. The real stars on the menu are the Wontons in Hot & Spicy sauce and the Sesame Chicken. The Wontons pair well with Thai Basil Fried Rice. The sauce has a good spice level and soaks the dumplings in a savory flavor. The Sesame Chicken has a perfect crunch and coating. It's not too saucy with a great flavor. One notable thing about this place is the portions. The amount you get either lasts a while or feeds an army. The lunch special they serve until 3 daily is worth it always. You get more than a healthy amount of rice as well. This place is a gem in the Uptown neighborhood with great portions with delicious food.

    What a great restaurant. Very clean and the staff was very friendly. The portions are plentiful and very tasty. We ordered the chicken fried rice and teryaki chicken. Both were very delicious and the teriyaki sauce was perfect. I couldn't finish my plate because it was a lot of food. My only complaint was the cost. Very good restaurant that I would definitely recommend.

    I admit I was dubious about this little spot which sits in a tiny, nondescript building at the southwest corner of Park and East 18th Avenues. My friend, who generally has a discerning palate, said it was good, so I gave it a shot. The interior is tiny with tables for only twelve people. There is a small bar which was being used by the staff. One wall is surprisingly well-decorated. It seems like most of their business is take out and delivery. Many bags were lined up when I collected my order. The menu is mostly Chinese-American standards including a nice mix of beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, fried rice, and vegetarian dishes. There are a few surprises. I haven't seen Egg Foo Young on a menu in a long time. Chinatown Bistro offers it in five varieties. There are a number of Lo Mein and Noodle dishes plus Pad Thai, Drunken Noodles, and Noodle soups. The usual suspects populate the regular soup, salad, and appetizer sections. So, why am I rating this so highly? The execution of these dishes is extraordinary. I find most restaurants that cook with woks tend to overcook proteins. Not here. I've tried the beef, pork, chicken, and shrimp. Every single bite was cooked to absolute perfection; tender, moist, and succulent. I tried the fried dumplings which were tender, very flavorful, and came with an excellent dipping sauce. The Wonton soup had a great depth of flavor and the dumplings were delicious. I also tried Happy Family and Combination Fried Rice. Again, flavor after flavor plus perfectly cooked rice and vegetables. Yum. The portions were large and the prices were reasonable. I love this place. Fortunately, it is quite close to my home as I'll be visiting frequently. They are currently closed for two weeks so the family can visit relatives in China. I can't wait until they return!

    3.5/5. I got some wonton soup to go. It was ready very quickly and the price was pretty fair for the portion. The soup itself was OK, not the best wonton soup I've had, but not notably bad. I'd come back and try other menu items.

    Dark sesame chicken , COLD RICE , and these hard noodles stuck to my chicken .

(Note, they are closed on Tuesdays.) I placed our pickup order on a Saturday night & it was ready in 15 minutes. The restaurant is for take-out only. Our food was in containers & placed in a box. I appreciated this since there was no way anything was going to tip over & spill. Very friendly phone & counter service as well. Note, you get six free Cheese Wontons when your order is more than $40. We ordered three different entrees with three different sides - Steamed White Rice, Fried Rice & Lo Mein Noodles. The sides were good, however the fried rice didn't seem fried, it was white rice with soy sauce. The Sweet & Sour Shrimp Entree was tasty - the shrimp were medium sized, cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce. The Sesame Chicken Entree was even better, the chicken was moist & tender. The beef in the Mongolian Beef Entree was great however there were way too many onions in the dish. Overall, a very satisfying meal.

I am so glad that they are so consistent and have not changed recipes or adjusted seasonings. Ordered our two favorites - pickled pepper beef and mapo tofu.

Also love that they have quality rice here.

    Decided to come here because I was craving Chinese food and heard good things about this place…read more Figured I'd give it a try. We ordered the fried tofu (with peppers and onions), orange chicken, fried fish fillet, and veggie delight (mixed veggies). The fried fish fillet was definitely the standout. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a light, tangy layer of sauce that added flavor without making it soggy. Easily my favorite dish of the meal. The fried tofu was also really solid and flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The peppers and onions complemented it well without overpowering the tofu itself. The orange chicken was okay. I tend to compare orange chicken to Panda Express (probably unfair, but it's my benchmark), and this one didn't quite hit that same balance of crispiness and sauce. I think if it had a bit more meat within each piece, would be better. The mixed vegetables were decent but not something I'd order again. They felt a bit drenched in sauce and didn't have much depth in flavor. One of the highlights of the visit was meeting an elderly woman who helps out when it gets busy. She mentioned she was the former owner. She was incredibly kind, and we ended up having a really nice conversation in Mandarin. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. Otherwise, really nice venue with lots of space and tables. Waiters always refilled my water, which is a good plus. Also gave me fresh rice when I took the leftovers to go. Overall, a solid meal with a couple standout dishes. I'd definitely come back for the fried fish fillet and tofu. Will be back to try their other dishes.

Lately it feels like a lot of restaurants are charging more while giving less, and it's getting harder to find places that actually care about the customer experience. Unfortunately, this was another one of those experiences. We ordered three side dishes and three drinks, and the bill came out to around $100. Two of the three sides were served cold, the dumplings at least came out hot, but they were pretty mediocre and nothing I'd order again and drinks were extremely over priced. The waitress was fine, no real issues there, but it did feel like the food may have been sitting in the kitchen too long before it hit the table even though the place was empty. At the end of the day, it's hard to justify paying that kind of money for cold, underwhelming food, then feeling awkward about the tip because the experience just wasn't good. I won't be back. If I had known this is what the experience was I would have definitely gone somewhere else. As an added bonus I felt like crap afterwords, I think it was because of poor quality ingredients. My aim in writing these reviews is to highlight the restaurants and businesses that truly take care of their customers, to give people a heads up about the ones that clearly do not prioritize quality or the customer experience, and to express myself in a world where it often feels like there is very little room to speak honestly about paying top dollar for mediocre experiences. Very disappointing.
