    Chicken chowmein

    Easily the nastiest thing I've ever had at a chinese place. I ordered Chicken Chowmein, i received White rice, chicken, cruncy noodles on top, with a turkey gravy. Never coming back

    Orange Chicken

    Chinese in a small strip mall. When you walk-in there are friendly signs directing you on where to go to order food and menu is posted on the wall. You continue to the two cashiers who are very polite and friendly. They welcome you a hello and how are you. Quick and efficiently they get your order. We grab a seat they bring you your food and it is delicious. I had orange chicken that actually had a hint of orange to it and the juice at the bottom of the container was delicious. I also had some teriyaki chicken with rice. Also delicious and so tender. Both items were easy to cut with the plastic fork without issues. My husband had the wonton soup, it was very fresh and it was good. The shrimp fried rice compacted in the container was delicious and cooked just right. I everything was super fresh. I will be ordering from here again and will recommend.

    The food purchased. $60 worth of food.

    I ordered food to bring home for my family got home and opened the dinner bowl of teriyaki beef and a cockroach literally ran out of it. I knocked it on the floor and killed it. Will not be going back. Absolutely disgusting. $60 worth of food literally thrown in the garbage.

    Back at it again! The cooler weather has my family craving Tang's Happy food! Our go to is the wonton soup and shrimp fried rice, you cannot go wrong!

    BBQ pork fried rice (lacks flavor), mongollion beef (allegedly) and mongollion chicken (allegedly). Beef and chicken=inedible. Rice was ok.
    S D.

    This is what $30 equates to at this HF location. The beef is (allegedly) mongollion beef; however, it is literally inedible. It tastes nothing like mongollion beef and has zero green onions. The chicken is (allegedly) mongollion chicken; however, it looks and tastes like teriyaki chicken. I cannot fathom how this place has 4 stars. I've been to other happy food locations with great success. I threw the beef and chicken away. Literally could not eat it. Even *if* my order was switched with someone else's, this food is not worth the money or the calories. :/

It's probably the fanciest Chinese restaurant I've been to in AZ. The lunch menu is excellent and quite impressive! There are 8 entrees to choose along with a side for only $20. What's crazy is that a full size seafood and wagyu beef belly jjampong is a side! They're regularly $24 so it's a crazy deal to get an additional entree!! We ordered seafood jjampong and wagyu beef jjampong as sides and genghis khan beef and chili garlic fried chicken as mains. The jjampong had that great umami taste without the oiliness that's unavoidable at other restaurants. The ingredients felt very premium and fresh. Ghengis khan beef pieces were very generous and tender with a savory sauce. Chili garlic chicken was a tad salty for me but had great crisp. Service was impeccable and one you'd expect from an upscale restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try other dishes from the lunch menu. I also want to try their happy hour that's available everyday from 4-7PM. All the food items are only $7 and variety looks amazing.

They come with your entree, soup, chow mein, rice, a crab ragoon, and an egg roll. I ordered the Kung Pao Shrimp and it was delicious. It had a slight kick, bit it wasn't too spicy. The shrimp was cooker perfectly, mot rubbery. My favorite was the egg drop soup, it had tofu in it and it was addictive. I definitely recommend checking George and Sons out!

To be clear, I am a New Yorker and know good fast Chinese food. The ambiance was promising. It looked like I was finally going to find what I've been looking for in Phoenix for years. For whatever reason, Chinese restaurants in Arizona serve egg hockey pucks and cover it with various items and call it egg foo young. I even asked about it before I ordered it. Alas when I got home and saw what I had, I was disappointed. It's faster to make it this way but the egg hockey puck had no taste - zero. They could have at least added oyster sauce, a little soy sauce, maybe nam plah, and perhaps sesame oil. It was tasteless. A complete miss. I also ordered something simple, shrimp spring rolls. They were delicious! I inhaled them and will order them again. I'd go again just for the spring rolls. Maybe they have other dishes that are good and I may not entirely give up but the egg foo young is a no go.

Gotta support local when you can I say! The menu is pretty basic and has all your typical options for Americanized Chinese food. Wanting to get something that had noodles in it, I opted for the combination #1 which has chow mein crispy noodles, pork fried rice, and two tempura shrimp. Quite a lot of food and for a very reasonable price! I think the combo was around $10. If you are a fan of bean sprouts, this is your place. The chow mein had a massive pile of beansprouts on top. The noodles were indeed crispy but they was such a meager portion compared to the beansprouts. The fried rice was pretty basic but also a generous portion and the two tempura shrimp had a nice crispy batter. I tried some of the eggroll too which is one of the most unique versions I've had since the super crispy outer layer was either a different preparation or different wrap material than I'm used to. The interior was made primarily of beansprouts too. Service was good. Our food was prepared fairly quickly.

We started with the creamy, coconut-infused Yam Mamuang Boran (green mango salad), and food came FAST from there. Some standouts for me included: - Ba Mee Moo Dang (BBQ pork egg noodles) - Pla Rad Prik Sam Rot (fried branzino) - Tom Kha Gai (coconut chicken soup) - Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai (wide rice noodles) All of these had a beautiful balance of acidity, savoriness, spice, and herbs in one dish with tender meat. But everything together really hit well. For example, the bok choy was a light break between super savory curries and fried wings (HUGE fan of the marinade on these). I also enjoyed getting to share dishes I wouldn't normally order a la carte, like the Naw Tawt (fried bamboo). The staff members made sure to ask about allergies and spice tolerances and thoroughly explained each dish as it was served. We actually ended up paying slightly less than the estimated $55/person for 12 dishes (before drinks) -- and we realized we got an extra serving of the chicken wings at no charge. Arai Kodai is truly a phenomenal way to experience more of the best dishes on the menu! We were stuffed, and I would gladly return.

Love the broth. 5) BAMEE MU DANG: egg noodles with char siu, great dish for what it is but I wouldn't go out of my way for this dish. 6) BA BUEY KHLAK TI: crispy pork belly with curry. Love the pork belly and with crispy skin! Love the curry too but it was a little too salty, you have to eat this with rice. 7) TOM YUM HAENG SEN YAI: stir fry noodle: love the tom yum flavor, my favorite dish as well! 8) HOI SHAE NAM PLA: scallop, love this dish!
