The veggies were fresh but 3 tough shrimp and no scallops. The honey chicken was uneatable so was the Rangoon. Hot and sour soup was at best lukewarm.

I arrived at noon and the parking lot was already pretty full for this very unassuming Chinese…read morerestaurant from the outside. There is plenty of free parking which is nice. When I walked in the atmosphere was great, I could smell good food and heard conversations. There's a large area with large round tables to right and to the left are booths and almost all of them were full. The menu was a mix of Americanized Chinese, traditional Chinese and included Dim Sum as well. There were a number of dishes we didn't know much about and there were dishes being enjoyed by other customers that looked delicious. The wait staff was more than happy to explain the dishes and/or show us on the menu what someone was eating. They took very good care of us and shared the tasks of bringing our food, filling water, and just checking in. Now the food. The food came out very quickly! We all received a well filled bowl of rice. First out was the string beans, perfectly cooked, not droopy, and the flavors of garlic and hot peppers. Even though the peppers were there the heat was not overpowering at all. Next was the shredded pork with garlic sauce. The textures of the pork and bamboo shoots were a nice contrast and the sauce was perfectly balanced and craveable. The special grilled lamb, I was told, was some of the best in the city. It was tender and well spiced. Even when he said he was full he just couldn't stop eating it. For the dim sum order we got the shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, scallion pancake, and sesame balls and they brought a soy sauce and a chili oil with them. The shrimp dumplings were tender but the dough was pretty sticky. I think this is normal and they were tasty with some of the oil on them. The scallion pancakes were very thin and gummy, this is the only thing we ordered that I would not get again. The soup dumplings were very small but packed a lot of flavor. The dough did stick together a bit so unfortunately some of the soup did leak out. The sesame balls were the hit and we're just the right amount of sweetness that we considered them desert. They were large, at least 2" in size, with a wonderful sesame seed covered exterior and a soft, sweet center. Chuan Jiang Hao Zi is a wonderful somewhat hidden gem. If you want traditional Chinese cuisine including all the different offal they have it and I would totally try it here over anyone else if I was brave enough. Portions were a good size for the price. I highly recommend checking them out!

Delightful! Szechuan chicken and filet mignonette and shrimp, both excellent. We will be back.read more

Yikes. Decided to bring my mother in law for a quick dinner after reading reviews…read more I decided to ignore the bad reviews and wish I wouldn't have. We walked in and were the only ones in the restaurant. The guy up front was coughing and sneezing nonstop. He seated us and walked away without saying anything. The place looks very old and ran down. Lots of duck tape on the tables and chairs. The chef (Carol?) came out of the kitchen and asked if we needed a few minutes to order. We said yes and didn't see her for a solid 20 minutes. We finally ordered (Walnut chicken, Sesame chicken, and General Tsos chicken). They all came out and looked identical and tasted identical. It was an overpowering sweet / watery flavor. The chicken is very questionable. Finally the bill came. We watched Carol write a random amount down on a post it note and hand it to us. Our total ended up being $48.80. Not sure how she figured out this amount, but it definitely didn't reflect the menu price. The owners at least have a sense of humor (or the people dining do and Carol hasn't noticed)!

Looked up this place before going on our little trip to Dayton and sooooo glad I went! It's a small…read morespot that's connected to an Asian mart and bubble tea shop. There was plenty of parking and signage. They have a varied and very authentic menu to choose from! We ordered a broth based lo mein noodle bowl and a hand pulled cold dry noodle bowl. BF added on a braised egg and I ordered a Taiwanese sausage on a stick. Yum on all accounts! Chili oil was automatically brought to us and the waitress was super friendly as well as bilingual. Food was brought out within 5-10 minutes of ordering. YES!! presentation and taste were perfect. Their prices and portions are reasonable and I love everything about this place, down to their cat portraits adorning the walls! Wish this place opened a location in Cleveland! I saw that they have spots in Cincy and Cbus!!

A hidden gem in Dayton, of all places. I haven't had many Asian restaurants of any kind that tasted…read moreauthentic in Dayton, but this is one of the few. The noodles are actually made in-house and have a lovely texture. I got the Classic Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup and was definitely not disappointed. The broth is light, but full of flavor at the same time. It is truly very comforting on a cold winter night. I think the beef slices on there are a bit tough, but it's not too big of an issue. The portion sizes are actually crazy. I got the regular size and could finish maybe just half to 2/3 of the noodles, along with a majority of the beef. I can't imagine how massive the large bowl would be... For health, I also ordered some stir-fried bok choy. This was stir fried well, but I'm not really sure what the flavor profile was supposed to be. Is it garlic? Is it spicy? I couldn't really place it. The prices are very fair for the quality of food they provide, and service throughout the night was decent. I will probably be back again, if I visit Dayton!

I asked if veggies come in the lo mein. He said it only came plain. I asked if I could pay for vegetables in my lo mein. I was put on hold for about 2 minutes & when he returned, he said I could get vegetables. There was an up charge... the meal w/ an eggroll was $18.45 & said it would be ready in 20 minutes. 5 mins later I get a call & they said they couldn't put vegetables in plain lo mein. WHAT?! He (a different guy) said that his colleague got it wrong & I would need to buy a veggie lo mein on the side. He said that he couldn't do the combo & add veggies to the lo mein. His colleague got it wrong because the boss wasn't there & when she got back she saw how he rang it up & to call me & tell me they couldn't do that. I would have to buy the sweet & sour pork & veggie lo mein separately @ $22+. Now, for $4 you gave up $18! I have never been called back by a restaurant due to a mistake they made for charging me wrong. MOST businesses, who want to gain & maintain customers would've sucked it up & corrected their employee! NOT call the customer for their $4 mistake!!! I will never order from this establishment. Their customer service is diabolical.

Shen's consistently has good food and service. We went last night primarily for sushi and also had…read morethe hot and sour soup, which was very good -- especially if you like it mushroom-forward. For sushi, we had the Sunset roll (fresh salmon and lemon over a spicy salmon roll), broiled scallops on seaweed salad, and a selection of tuna, yellowtail, and white tuna nigiri. The yellowtail stood out as very good, and the scallops were excellent. The salmon and white tuna were more average -- I'd skip those and lean into the stronger options. Service was solid as always, and overall it was a good night. A reliable spot, especially if you order toward their best items.

Small but clean and bright inside. Friendly service, and the food was up fast. The usual suspects on the menu, though no crab Rangoon? I got my usual Mongolian beef. Big portion, more onions and green peppers than meat but still plenty of tender, tasty slices of beef. Sauce is mildly sweet, not overwhelming, not very salty. Good, not amazing, but a nice meal. Fried rice seems just colored yellow, but cooked up nicely. Bottled drinks. I saw a group of older ladies come in for lunch, and they'd been coming for 15 years, they said.
