    Sesame Chicken
    Justice R.

    I definitely recommend this place. I've been looking for Chinese restaurants to call my number one spot since leaving Memphis and I can definitely say this takes me back home the sesame chicken was fresh and delicious, the wonton soup was delicious as well. Could have been more salty, but that's just my preference And the crab rag were creamy and moist on the inside.

    Vegetable Lo Mein

    Yummy in my tummy.

    This is one of my favorite Chinese places to eat in riverdale. They give you such a large portion that you can get 3 to 4 meals just from one dinner combination. I love that they give you chicken fried rice by default instead of pork fried rice. They are usually pretty quick when I go in. I never preorder. But wait there's more...if you spend over 10 dollars they will give you a free can drink, if you spend more that 20 then you get a sweet tea and if you spend more than 30 you gets 2 sweet teas and you will feel like you are on top of the world. The food is good. The prices are average. You will enjoy it if you eat there. Take my word for it.

    This was my first time at this restaurant, and I love that it's a hole in the wall restaurant. The price of food is super affordable and there is a lot of combinations to chose from. I ordered the chicken and shrimp fried rice with buffalo wings! This was a delicious and feeling meal for only $10 bucks! You also get a free can drink if you have a purchase of $10. Although, it was very hot inside I think their AC was broken.... although,the goodness of the food made up for it all. Overall I was satisfied and full!

    Great chinese food with huge portions! They say they are NY-certified and they are pretty close. The lady at the front counter was nice. No lunch rush. Egg roll was cooked to perfection! I ordered the standard shrimp fried rice and an egg roll.

    Whenever I enter a Chinese take-out restaurant for the first time, I always order fried rice because if that doesn't turn out well, then the restaurant likely won't cook anything else right either (and because I freakin' LOVE fried rice). For those same reasons, I tend to order other mainstays such as egg rolls, crab rangoon, and fried chicken wings. With the intention of ordering said indicator foods, I ventured over to Great China. Admittedly, I didn't have lofty expectations for this place because "Great China" is about as unoriginal as it gets regarding Chinese restaurant names, and because of the stock illuminated menu board that we've become all-too-familiar with. As I approached the counter, I was met by a high school kid with a stern look on his face, which I know as a telltale sign that he's the owner's son and that he's working there against his will. I, like almost every other first generation American with Chinese parents, can relate to this soul-crushing, modern day indentured servitude. Perhaps both he and the restaurant itself would be more inviting if there was ambient noise in the form of radio music or a television? Actually, there is a TV, but it's only there to display screen-saver-style scrolling pictures of food. Great China advertises itself as being "New York Style 100% vegetable oil" Chinese take-out, using no MSG. I brought my haul to a friend's apartment to determine if that meant anything praiseworthy. Their egg rolls and crab rangoon are good; e.g., their crab rangoon isn't overly greasy or overly dry as is common at some Chinese take-out restaurants. Their fried chicken wings can benefit from a more generous application of spices but were otherwise satisfactory. Their fried rice left something to be desired; it was somewhat dry and would have been better with the addition of bean sprouts and eggs. With a scant 4 tables (4 chairs each), Great China isn't suitable for dining in, and I get the impression that management doesn't want you to dine in; otherwise, they'd probably make the décor more inviting or at least have some background music. That's okay though, because I had places to be, and so take-out was the way to go. I almost never tip when ordering take-out, but I did for the high school aged kid because, even though his demeanor wasn't affable, I understood why he wasn't jovial and because he reminded me so much of my own formative years. But when I directed some gratuity his way, that was the only time that he cracked a smile. It was money well spent.

    Food is always good. They actually have real fried rice and not just brown rice with nothing in it.

    They have the best wings in Riverdale, Ga. The owner of the place is really cool, so he always tries to give me free drinks and stuff.

    All I could think about was "Super Greens" and the only place I could get my fix was Panda Express…read more As I was dropping a friend off home, I was excited to see that I was near Panda Express - Riverdale. Once I realized that, I opened my Panda Express app and placed my order. It was one of those nights where I didn't want anything too heavy but I wanted something good. I decided to do a bowl with Super Greens as my base and Teriyaki Chicken as my entreé. As my order was placed I pulled up to the drive thru and advised I was doing a pick up. The young lady was very pleasant and told me to pull on up to the window. As I had arrived a few minutes before my order was slated to be ready I was excited to see that my order was ready for me. Woo hoo. Once at the window, my order was confirmed. Condiments verified. Bag handed to me and I was on my way. Talk about good service, this was a true representation of quality service. As I anticipated, my Panda Express bowl was everything I knew it would be. The chicken was hot and fresh. The super greens were fresh and crunchy and everything was beautifully placed. As the chicken was placed on top of the super greens, the flavor of the chicken blends with the super greens and marries the dish so well. To add a more robust flavor profile, I drizzled the teriyaki sauce that came with it over the top and that took the meal from good to gooder. LoL!! All in all, Panda Express - Riverdale was the perfect option for a quality meal at a good price with great service.

    The plaza it's in on Riverdale Rd. looks so suspect. You won't even know where the door really…read moreleads. Once you park and step inside it's such a cheesy mom & pop business overly decorated in Thai decor. The restrooms are ALWAYS clean. This is not fast food, you will wait a little while even 15-20 mins for takeout, but it's worth it. My favorite spot on the Southside. I first discovered this restaurant while in Real Estate school at Barney Fletcher. Most evenings we tried to hurry and find close dinner options. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. It can add up to over $40 if you're greedy ordering several items like an appetizer + entree + dessert. I've eaten on my leftovers maybe 2-3X. No exaggeration! The best dish I've had is Naam Khao (crispy rice w/ fermented pork bits, fresh veggies and wrapped in lettuce) and Laos spring rolls (crunchy) . Thai tea overly sweet so it's best when watered down from the ice. Mango sticky rice is a purple color and yummy as well. Unique earthy taste, but still sweet and on par. I will drive 20-30 mins bcos I crave it sometimes. Everyone I've introduced to this place are fans on the first visit. I almost want to gate keep! lol

    Wonderful food and nice dining room. The staff were very helpful…read more I had the crispy noodles with tofu and honestly wasn't really sure what to expect but it was really good and a generous portion. There were lots of fresh veggies and the sauce was savory but slightly sweet. Not spicy. My husband ordered a bowl of noodle soup. I cannot remember what it was called but he liked it. Again, very large portion.
