I can't believe that I haven't written a review for Yunnan Restaurant when it is one of the two…read moreChinese restaurants in the area that are my Taiwanese-parent-approved! Since its opening, Yunnan Restaurant has become a staple in our rotation for good reason. The pro-tip that I almost want to gatekeep is to go for lunch because that's the only way to guarantee that all of the best cold dishes are still in stock. My family's go-to is the vinegar potato strings, bamboo shoots, and sliced mushrooms, but we've recently also gotten into getting a side order of the peanuts with anchovies. The peanuts have a great sweet and salty roasted flavor and would pair perfectly with some rice. I could honestly be happy just ordered a big plate of the vegetarian cold dishes with rice, but it would be criminal to not order some of the noodles. The Sichuan style cold noodle is my absolute favorite item on the menu. It is vinegary, spicy, a little bit sweet, and super refreshing! The noodle texture is nice and bouncy, and the sliced carrots and scallions and blanched bean curds add a great crunchy texture. Despite being meatless, this noodle dish is absolutely satisfying and delicious! Most of the praises I sing are about this cold noodle dish, but their other items are also quite yummy. I enjoy the braised garlic seafood tofu dish, which pairs well with rice, and there are whole cloves of garlic that were braised with the seafood to be subtlety sweet and not at all pungent. Yunnan Restaurant really lives up to the hype!

I've eaten at Lakeview Garden quite a few times, and I want to be fair right from the start. Our…read morefirst several orders were actually very good. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and it felt like the kitchen cared about what they were sending out. Unfortunately, today's experience was the complete opposite--and disappointing enough that I felt the need to leave this review. Order #1: Broccoli Beef The beef was largely fatty, chewy, and very rough to eat. It honestly felt like low-quality cuts that shouldn't have been served at all. The broccoli itself was undercooked, leaving it hard rather than tender. To make matters worse, the brown sauce was overly thick and completely lacking in flavor. It added nothing to the dish and only highlighted how poorly executed it was. Order #2: Chicken Chow Mein This dish was even more disappointing. The chicken portion was not even half of what it was just a few months ago, which was immediately noticeable. The noodles were smaller, dry, and bland, and the entire dish had absolutely no taste. No seasoning, no depth--just food going through the motions. This brings me to a larger issue that I've noticed not just here, but at many restaurants lately: to-go orders are not being treated with the same care as dine-in meals. It feels like once the food leaves the building, quality and pride go out the window. That should never be the case. People are still spending real money on these meals. We spent over $40 on today's order, and quite frankly, it was inedible. That's unacceptable. When customers are spending $40-$50 on takeout, the food should still be made with care, attention, and pride--just like it would be if it were being served at a table. To give the restaurant a chance to address the issue, I called and spoke with the manager before writing this review. Unfortunately, that interaction was just as disappointing. She offered a brief "sorry," seemed completely uninterested in the feedback, and made no real effort to address the situation or make it right. It felt dismissive and left me with the impression that customer satisfaction simply wasn't a priority. I genuinely hope management reads this and takes it seriously. This place used to be good, which is why this experience is so frustrating. Please remind the kitchen that every order matters, especially takeout. People are choosing to spend their hard-earned money here, and they deserve food that's prepared with care and respect. Based on this experience, I will not be returning or spending my hard-earned money at Lakeview Garden again.

After waiting, we noticed all the parties ahead of us had been crossed off and we were next. About 20-30 minutes later, we came back and saw two available tables that could accommodate our family of four. One waitress reminded another that we were "on the waitlist," and she then loudly shouted across a room full of customers, "We don't have any available tables right now." The way the situation was handled felt very dismissive and humiliating, especially in front of my children. It was disappointing because we had been looking forward to returning and spending a special family afternoon there. Thankfully, we walked over to Muzen Sushi instead and the experience there completely turned our day around. The sushi was excellent, the customer service was outstanding, and they made our family feel genuinely welcomed. Highly recommend Muzen Sushi.

Now that I'm home, I've realized the entire order is still incorrect-and I paid more than what I actually received.
