This is yet another situation in which I wish it were possible to give fractional stars, because for me this was more than a 3-star "OK", but doesn't quite hit my standard for a 4-star experience. After having three straight meals of the pizza/burger/sandwich ilk, we were craving something a little different. There aren't a lot of options for this in West Yellowstone, especially if you're in the mood for Asian food as we were. Like many others, we were initially skeptical given its low average rating, but seeing the more positive recent reviews we decided to take a chance. When we arrived, the restaurant was packed. A large bus with Chinese tourists had recently arrived and they occupied almost every table. After several minutes we got a table and perused the extensive menu. They offer many familiar dishes that appear on the menus of Chinese restaurants across the nation. But they also had some specialty creations that are probably have a more narrow appeal, plus some items that use local ingredients such as elk, bison, and trout. We opted for just a few items for our meal, because we didn't want to walk away with leftovers that we probably wouldn't eat. Combination fried rice - very standard, with a decent amount of chicken and pork and a few fat shrimp. Not too salty and not doused with an excessive amount of soy sauce Fried tofu with Chinese vegetable - this was a little disappointing to me. The tofu was good, but the sauce had too much soy sauce, ginger, and cornstarch. The vegetables also weren't Chinese - no bok choy, gai lan, napa, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts. Instead, it was made with zucchini, regular cabbage, American broccoli, white mushrooms, and carrots. Shanghai style rice cake - now this was very well done. Rice cake can be tricky to make, and if not done properly they can become sticky and unpleasantly soft. They really got this right. The rice cake had a the right texture, and overall flavor (it's made with small pieces of pork) was excellent. Prices were pretty decent, about on par with similar restaurants in the SF Bay area. Our servers were friendly but overworked, but our food came out quickly after ordering. Just one caveat: when we received the bill they had already added a 15% tip, but the receipt provided an option to add another tip. We opted not to double-tip. read more

I never expected to have Chinese food in Montana, much less to find it somewhat decent! I came to West Yellowstone on a trip, and the first place my group and I went was Chinatown Restaurant. At first, I was skeptical about the restaurant, so I kept my expectations low. However, once I tried the food, I had to admit my expectations were actually met. The variety of food they had was incredible. From pig feet to mapo tofu, all the dishes we got were of decent quality; dare I say it's comparable to Bay Area Chinese restaurants. Especially for the amount we paid, the portions were VERY generous. I personally liked the mapo tofu the best, but all the other dishes really came to my liking. Excellent value for the area! I am shocked by the low reviews on this restaurant, but I assume it came down to bad customer service and the low "aesthetic" of Chinatown Restaurant. I personally didn't experience anything like that. The workers did everything they could to welcome us and prepare such a large amount of food for us. All I can say is don't judge a book by its cover; please take the reviews with a grain of salt and try out Chinatown Restaurant for yourself! read more

Came here despite bad reviews and needless to say the food was quite decent! We were immediately seated and the food came super fast, I was surprised.

We came here depsite the low reviews since we were craving Asian food on vacation. We had a nice time here, and all the food satisfied our cravings. Portions are smaller, we ordered 10 dishes for 7 people (we were also very hungry from a long day exploring Yellowstone). Specifically we recommend any stir-fried dishes, the combination fries rice is good and has wok hay. Food came out very fast, probably under 5 minutes. Inside were multiple different dining areas, with circular tables and booths. We definitely recommend this restaurant, it's perfect for anyone craving a quick and delicious eat. read more

Update: Health Score was 65 out of 100 as verified by the Health Dept! While staying at West Yellowstone, it was disgraceful that this local Chinese restaurant refused to accommodate us with our service dog, blatantly ignoring basic disability rights and common decency. Their discriminatory policy isn't just illegal--it's a shameful display of ignorance and hostility that has no place in any community establishment. I am really surprised to find it in such a small community such as West Yellowstone... even after talking to the restaurant manager Liv Liu.

We had the best vegetarian meal here and we are from bay area where there is plenty of authentic Asian food. Their beans were so delicious and they have this house made chilli oil crunch which is absolutely Delicious, flavorful and a hint of spice. The lo mein and fried rice was also very good. Highly recommend this place if you want some good chinese food.Not to mention the owners are super nice and we can see them preparing fresh veggies and cutting them in front of us like we do at home. read more

Chinatown Restaurant - Sweet and Sour Pork (half eaten) - Chinese Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

I am surprised by all the 1-star reviews because my family and I enjoyed a nice dinner here without any issues. The staff went above and beyond with their kindness (checking in on us many times) and were accommodating to our requests (less salt in the dishes). They were even open to customizing some of the dishes to our liking (ex. we ordered a custom mixed vegetable dish because there was one vegan in the party). We tried the steamed trout (market price; was $70 for us) which was enough for 2 people to share. My parents seemed to enjoy it and finished it completely. Overall, the food tasted great and was made reasonably quickly (about 15 minutes), and service was impeccable. A few other things to note--someone started smoking toward the end of the visit, so it started to smell like smoke. The price is also up there, and tip is automatically added to the receipt. read more

Chinatown Restaurant - Steamed trout (market price-$70 for our party), vegetables - Chinese Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

The food is reasonably priced. Automatic 15% tip. The service in the summer was okay. They were really busy so they were not able to get us water refills or the other table forks. There must be a tour associated with this place because it was so full. I didn't get to use the bathroom because it was so busy and I got overwhelmed. Food was good, hot and quick. I think maybe spoiled in sf with really good Chinese food. But it was a nice change from camping food in Yellowstone to get Chinese food in a semi remote area. They take card but warning dinner service is busy. read more

This place is alright. I went on a family trip to the Northwest states in 2017 through one of those Chinese tour groups and I remember this was the first restaurant of that trip. The restaurant was a bit small and was quickly packed especially with so many tourists dining in at once. This wasn't an issue for us in particular since (I'm assuming) the tour agency reserved out seats for us in advance. The service was not bad from my experience (our orders came out quickly, maybe about 10 minutes) and the food tasted okay... Just too salty. I ordered the shrimp and General Tso chicken - they were good and cooked well from what I remember. The fish was very salty. Seeing how the tour group seems to come here as part of their usual schedule (tour lead talked about coming here many times in his previous trips), the prices for this restaurant is a bit ridiculous. $2 for a teabag and need to pay for the bowl of rice. 5.5/10 read more

Chinatown Restaurant - Shrimp and General Tso Chicken - Chinese Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

I ordered spring rolls, small egg drop soup, Kung Pao chicken (I ordered no onions and added cabbage) and white Rice. Order totaled $28. The spring rolls were very tiny and had a disgusting taste. Egg drop soup came in a small dish and lacked any flavor. Now the main course was Kung Pao Chicken, it had an okay flavor but not as good as I am used to. If you want rice you have to order it separately. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

Saw this place and passed the first night in West Yellowstone based on the star rating. Then while sitting at another sad restaurant I won't mention nearby I looked at the reviews expecting a laugh and saw a lot of good reviews recently. Convinced the rest of my group to try it and was floored at how good it was. Two menus, traditional fare that most Chinese places in the US have and a page of specials for those more versed in mainland Chinese food. Excellent. That is all I can say. The short ribs and fried chicken from the specials menu were both phenomenal. Orange chicken, lemon chicken, Mongolian beef, and pot stickers were all top tier. Unique, but equally good to the best places I have had in Chicago, San Francisco, or Seattle. Better than anything I've had in LA. Maybe someday I will get over to China to make a comparison. Lol. Ate there twice in three days and would have gone back for a 4th if I didn't make my way down to the Grand Tetons after the second visit. I look forward to patronizing you again. Thank you for the excellent meals. read more

My Chinese family and I stopped here after a tiring Yellowstone day. Giving the roadtrip diet of heavy carbs, meats, and sodium, we wanted a more balanced meal. The restaurant actually has 2 separate menus: a more Americanized one and a Chinese one. We ordered from both. We ordered 3 dishes (mapo tofu, Buddha vegetables, and black bean fish) as well as a mixed fried rice. Great tasting dishes overall. I was especially happy with the fish dish. The prices weren't the lowest but the flavor and portion sizes were white decent. This Chinese restaurant was a pleasant surprise that the rating of the place is so low and the area is teeming with tourist traps. read more

It was shocking to see so many bad reviews. I just searched this restaurant when I was about to leave an amazing review ( which I normally don't even bother to do so, and this is my longest review for a restaurant) for them. Maybe I got lucky or they have recently improved the service and quality of food, I don't know, but my experience here was beyond my expectation. It's not your usual fancy Chinese restaurant serve with white table cloth or Michelin 3 stars restaurant, but it's not exactly a holes on the wall type either. At Yellowstone I expect nothing like this even existed ( delicious Chinese food and overall experience). When I walked in, I was greeted by all staffs, not just one but at least 2 or 3, the restaurant was half full, everyone was attentive and friendly. I ordered 2 chef specialty on the menu, which was stir fried elk( I actually had no idea it was gonna be stir fried, because it was not mentioned on the menu), the other one is fish fillet with black bean sauce, and one stir fried spinach with shrimp. My favorite dish was this stir fried elk, the flavor was black pepper sauce with ginger, it was mouthwatering! The meat was so tender! It was truest mind-blowing good!! The elk was unbelievably tender and juicy, for a second I feel like I was eating beef but only better! The fish fillet with vegetables was pretty good too, the seasoning was very powerful( maybe a little bit too salty but it just making you keep wanting to eat more. The spinach with shrimp was just as good. I mean you can't really go wrong with stir fried vegetable. The shrimp was probably not the fresh caught, probably from a frozen pack, but it was expected. :) The price rage could be a bit high( for those specialties like fresh trout($80) elk($39) black bear(I forgot how much), but you are in a middle of nowhere, a national park, what else can you ask for more? If you want a cheap meal, easy American food, go get the pizza at the corner so it doesn't break the bank. Overall, I'm very satisfied and grateful with my experience here, thank you for great service and tasty food, I'll recommend this to everyone and I'll come back again without a doubt! read more

Wonderful place we happened upon in West Yellowstone. We got take out and it was wonderful and fresh. The people are so nice there!

Egg drop soup was great. We got the orange chicken-it was mostly bread and wasn't at all spicy. The happy family was a real let down. It just wasn't that good.

Too expensive food and not test good It's a stuffy restaurant with no ventilation and the food is too expensive. One dish costs over 40 dollars.

An absolute must try if you're in West Yellowstone. The food was great and you definitely get your money's worth. On top of the good eats, the customer service was amazing. Every employee that I interacted with was very friendly and service was fast in all aspects from quick delivery of food and any requests (top off of a drink, extra silverware) were brought out on the spot. I cannot recommend supporting this business enough. read more

Excellent Chinese cuisine. Service was great, and food was even better. I was extremely apprehensive to go, since the reviews were on the lower tier. I am so glad I went with what my nose smelled while walking by. While waiting for our food to come out, I overheard one of the main lady workers talking with another customer, stating that the restaurant changed ownership about two years ago. That being said, maybe that is where the lower ratings originated from. I simply can not see how this amazing food can get lower ratings. Maybe the people rating it low are used to calling Panda Express Chinese food, IDK but this is not Panda Express. Leaps and bounds from something mediocre as such. All I can say is, thank you for having such a good restaurant in this neck of the woods... so much better than anything else that was offered in the town. read more

We stopped here on a trip to Yellowstone. I'm so glad we didn't look at the reviews first. The food was plentiful and delicious! The staff was overly accommodating and helpful.

Great food and love the retro atmosphere. The chicken and vegetables was excellent. My wife got sweet and sour and enjoyed it alit.

黑店!! My family had a great afternoon after seeing some beautiful sites of Yellowstone. It ended when the extremely rude waiter came to my table and showed me the I-don't-give-a-shit-about-you attitude!! My mom asked if she could have tofu in her seaweed egg drop soup and right away he said no. The chef won't make it for me. He later decided to go ask the chef and told my mom she could have it for $2 extra. That's cool but why was he so rude to my mom the first time? My mom also asked him couple questions about the menu. He said something like I don't know/just make up your mind and order later. The way he talked to us and the way he took back the menu made me feel like I owe him apologies for taking his time! Your freaking menu said I am going to pay you 15% for tips so how about showing me that you are worth it?! I was totally done with talking to him after ordering 4 dishes. And I was so mad I lost my appetite. My mom was hungry so I stayed. Anyway, food came up like two minutes after we ordered. We think the chef probably had everything pre-cooked and he/she just stir fried the cooked food when we ordered. The flavors were ok. #2 and #4 looked almost the same except #4 had some squid pieces and it came in the sizzling dish. We had 0 service from anyone after the food were served. My sister paid and told the girl working/eating in the front with short short(host?) that the waiter was very rude. She repeated that to the guy while the he was taking order from another table. He looked at us like whatever and said nothing. Omg this is freaking bullshit. read more
