    a plate of chinese food on a table
    Betty C.

    Walked in, just kind of sat ourselves lol. But it was pretty empty. The inside is not the best "atmosphere"/dinner feeling. Lol. Doesn't feel super welcoming. However the food was pretty good!! I am impressed lol. The lo mein was really tasty. The veggies were super super yummy. Meat was decent. Egg drop soupwas okay. They had plenty of options. Everything you'd imagine for a small buffet. Nothing extravagant.

    This is your below-average Chinese buffet. There are only two stations to choose food from, and one of them is filled with almost inedible options. The only redeeming quality of the restaurant is the price, but if you're willing to pay $17 for crunchy fried rice and gelatinous hot & sour soup , you are better off going anywhere else.

    Good service. Great egg rolls. Chicken pieces are large and cooked just right. Cashew chicken sauce is very weak.

Knowing this, I was a little leery that Thai here in Branson might be kind of blah. Thai Thai had good reviews, so I decided to go with it. My wife got her usual pad Thai and I got the drunken noodles with tofu--specifically because they were described as being spicy. We also got an order of the fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce. I put in my order comments to make the noodles "Thai spicy--I mean it"... they did not disappoint! Everything was delicious. The spring rolls were fresh and larger than what I'm used to getting elsewhere. The peanut sauce was just right. More importantly, my noodles were actually spicy. Not tamed down Midwest spicy, or just kind of spicy. And honestly, as someone who frequents Thai places, they're some of the best I've had! They have plenty of vegetarian options here for those of you looking for something edible in Branson. I would definitely order from here again.

It was missing a few more ingredients. The som tum (papaya salad) was a little bland. The complimentary soup tasted like it was from an instant packet and not made from scratch. 2 stars for this Thai restaurant but there is not much to choose from. If time permits I'll try the other Thai restaurant for comparison.

It tasted like it had been made by hand for hours with hard work and then it stops there. Anything else?Good, I can't find about this place. I've been to quite a few places, and I thought very long and hard about the rating and the food and atmosphere. And how I would give this place a rating, based on my experience and wanted to stay positive. However, some things are just unacceptable.And maybe unnoticeable, by others, or people who are uncultured in the food atmosphere of what they were eating. The edamama we ordered was freezer burnt. You could taste it ! Or had been frozen and thawed, or they were close to beyond being fresh any more.There's even color hues in my photos, to show some parts of it green and some fading with the salt, more on one end of the basket than tossed properly. I had asked the server as it was my first time.What was their number one seller?They couldn't tell me. I followed up by asking okay, I'm very hungry. So what is the most filling? Is there more in a bowl of ramen or more in a bowl of pho etc for portions like lo mein etc If so, which ramen has the most noodles ingredients, et cetera. Response from the employee was they're all the same size. They all have about the same amount of food, not one bowl has more than another bowl. At this education of the menu, I decided to go ahead and order the the spicy ramen option. I also got a regular ramen bowl and asked to order a spicy crab sushi roll and shrimp lo mein. After a little while, the edamame came first of course the soup showed up different types, different bowls, different broths, different amount of food. One was massive amount of food one was a small amount of food, so the portions were not the same by any means. We also got the lo mein which I thought since the menu spelled it wrong. It would be okay, but overly sweet. Overly done noodle soggy mess. My specific ramen was underdone, where I went to bite the noodle off and it still had crunch to it aside from the bean sprouts that were in there, just to give an idea that I am cultured on the food that I was trying to eat and review. I also ordered a spicy crab sushi roll it wasn't a request or question however, the sushi never came and i'm glad, because everything I experienced was horrid, and I can only imagine the worst experience based on what I did get. Overall, my bill before tip was about $86. I feel it was about $56 overpriced. For the quality that I think you could get better making at home. And I've had ramen in other areas. And it didn't taste as poor as this location. If I had given the choice, I would maybe get some pho to go However, this is a business I will choose not to support moving forward for my own personal experience as well. I waited to make my review. My stomach ended up sick and hurting and it's not sensitive.Therefore I do believe there was something off like I tasted.And i'm not willing to risk that for redos to any business. I like to say thank you for the opportunity to try your location, it was not your best service or food or quality given about 6 PM on a Friday night. I should have known better from an empty lot on a friday night.

My bad, I reviewed the wrong one, but I'm sure this location is good too! Here's my review from last year on the other location: I could tell by looking at the photos and reviews on Yelp that this place was going to be wonderful. Thankfully, when we finally gave it a shot, we were not disappointed. Talk about made fresh. Everything was so delicious and freshly prepared. Flavors were spot on. The service was fantastic. They always made sure that our drinks were filled and we had everything that we needed. My absolute favorite dish was the fried green beans with minced pork. Get it with extra minced pork and you'll love it. The steamed dumplings and pancake appetizer are also really good. Highly recommend! They also have clean restrooms with an extra large sink outside the restroom area so you can quickly wash your hands if you don't actually need to use the restroom. Pretty cool. We can't wait to go back for more!

After a 30 min wait the food came out. The sizzling pepper steak came out very hot and sizzling but it was incredibly oily. It was well seasoned, but way too oily. After we finished it, there was a puddle of oil remaining. The braised beef noodle was decent, and it was not special in any way. The restaurant was fairly clean, although the tables were packed tightly to fit the most amount of people. Our server was attentive, refilled our water frequently even though the restaurant was packed, and knew both mandarin and English. Overall I was mostly satisfied with the experience, but I would wish the food was less salty and greasy.

The woman at the counter was SO nice and personable. I ordered cashew chicken with an egg roll and cream cheese wontons. When they brought my food, which they did make fresh and didn't just take it off the buffet, I asked for some sweet and sour sauce, specifically the red sauce used for sweet and sour chicken etc. She told be it would be an additional couple of bucks. No problem. She brought me a 1/2 pint of sauce. I returned to the hotel and we were excited to dig in. I opened up the container and found something very unusual. The chicken was breaded fried chicken in some sort of brown sauce with some chopped scallions and a bunch of cashew nuts over the top. It was a pretty small order with not a lot of chicken, but that was OK because it tasted awful. I mean it was really bad. It had a strange smell to it and was just nasty. We could not eat it. The egg roll was also bad. It had very little flavor. The cream cheese wontons were pretty good. Definitely will not be going back. I should've listened to one of the Branson Travel travel sites, which said that Branson had no good Asian food at all.

And the daughter was sick and a snotty nose that was snorting around like all get out! Service: They are never organized or attentive at all to the sit in customers. Tables always sit dirty. And if you eliminate the two tables...the owner's kids dominate...I think that only leaves (4) total tables to manage. And I sit there...and see multiple Door Dash orders get messed up and/or take forever. This last time, a Dasher left after waiting forever. The new owners may be nice or well intended.
