    Amazing food and an amazing deal for what you pay for. The restaurant is clean and organized and the vibe from the staff feels like authentic Chinese food. I would come here again. We got the combo dinner plate A. We had leftovers for two more meals

    I was in the neighborhood today and decided to stop in for Chinese. I was craving general's chicken and chowmein. I went all out and had fried rice as well. I ate my egg drop soup first hoping to fill up on that and not over eat on my carbs. (Sorry coach, I hope you're not reading this; I'll work it off tomorrow). Service was great and quick. My food was hot and hit the spot! I'll be back next time I'm in the area. Too bad I'm not closer to Carson to order for catering. I loved the vibe, service, and overall decor. I noticed a separate room that could easily host a larger party.

    Fried rice, crispy walnut shrimp, and egg roll. Lunch special
    Ashley H.

    We went here at lunch on a Thursday. Their lunch special consists of soup of your choice (egg drop or hot and sour), entree with fried rice or steamed rice and an egg roll. You can add chow mein also for an additional charge. Without the chow mein it was still a huge lunch portion. For $11 + tax I got a huge plate with crispy walnut shrimp. Their service was fast and the food was hot and fresh. Can't beat the price or service so we will definitely be back. Only reason for four stars was because the lady who took our order wanted us order like we were regular customers and since we had never been here it was very confusing and she didn't help explain anything. As for the food the fried rice had the perfect amount of flavor. The shrimp was crispy and fresh. The egg roll was amazing. The hot and sour soup had an excellent amount of pepper and was the perfect temperature!

    Food solid good, service kind but no anticipation of needs so ask for serving spoons and extra plates. Suschi pieces little thin. Prices a little high for diner atmosphere.

    20. Sweet and Sour Chicken Lunch Special

    We both had the sweet and sour chicken lunch special today. You get a lot of food but once again half the pieces of chicken neither of us could chew through. Overall good experience but the chicken was a bit disappointing.

On a previous visit, I was seated in the back of the restaurant, which I was fine with at first, until I realized that's also where staff eat. One employee sat down near me on his break and was loudly eating with his mouth open, shoveling food in with his chopsticks right in my line of sight. It was uncomfortable and honestly pretty gross, to the point that I asked to move tables. On my most recent visit, the service was again disappointing. After my drink was dropped off, my server basically disappeared -- no check‑ins, no options offered, and it took a long time to get anyone's attention for simple things like refills or the check, even though it wasn't that busy. The sushi itself is fine and the prices are reasonable, but between being seated next to an employee loudly eating his break meal and the consistently inattentive service, it's hard to relax and feel like a valued customer. With other sushi options in the area, I'd rather go somewhere that feels a bit more professional and attentive.

    I had a really great experience at Smoke Door. I called around dinner time without a reservation,…read morebut the woman on the phone was super accommodating, which I really appreciated. It was my first time there, and my server Jamie was really friendly and helpful. He walked me through the menu, and I ended up going with à la carte so I could try a few things. The wagyu was delicious and cooked perfectly, and the cauliflower was amazing too. The Toyosu fish was really refreshing. I also thought it was really cool that they source fish from Japan every couple of days. That definitely shows the level of quality they're going for. I'll definitely be back, and next time I want to try the full course. The restaurant itself is beautiful overall. Only small thing for me was that it got a little smoky at times, and the wine tasted slightly old, although my server confirmed the bottle had been opened recently. It honestly may have just been the wine I chose. Still a great experience overall.

    I genuinely do not understand how this place has such high ratings, and is well acclaimed by…read moremagazines and newspapers. We spent around $700 for two people and it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had -- not just in Tahoe, but anywhere near this price point. The food was wildly inconsistent. Several dishes were overly salty to the point where it completely overpowered everything else. Others were just forgettable (like the beet salad). For a tasting menu that's supposed to be carefully curated, it felt sloppy and poorly thought out. On top of that, the portions were tiny -- even by fine dining standards -- and we left still hungry, which is pretty unacceptable given what we paid. For example the fish was probably a 3-4 oz portion. Many of the dishes were the same size as the a la carte menu, but for the tasting were meant to be shared for 2 adults. That means you are paying 400 dollars for dishes that can be bought for 40 bucks on the menu. The exact same size.... What is going on.... Service was just as frustrating. It wasn't outright rude, but it was disorganized and careless in ways that really matter. We ordered an extra dish and no one bothered to tell us it was already included in the tasting menu -- so we ended up paying extra for something redundant. That's a basic failure and honestly felt borderline deceptive. Drink service was slow, and mis-timed. What really pushed it over the edge: my wife is pregnant, and instead of putting any real thought into substituting a raw fish/uni course, they gave her a duplicate of another dish already being served, and was a dish that we extra ordered. No creativity, no effort -- just the easiest possible workaround. For a restaurant trying to position itself as high-end, that's inexcusable. This place charges like a top-tier dining experience but delivers something far below that level. It feels like they're relying on hype and location rather than execution. Save your money. There are far better places in Tahoe (and beyond) that actually justify the price. Would not return.

Every case had At least one uncovered tray or tray where the plastic wrap was not replaced. In the past the chef would remove the fish needed then rewrap. Even the scallop sat in a bowl with no covering in it. And it's not like they were too busy to do this. Cody stood there gazing out at the casino.

The combo of basil shiso and grapefruit is delightful, especially with a hit of salt! And the food front, I tried the duck hearts which were great. We revisited the beef tongue which is always a hit. We also of course, had to have the soba noodles the chicken wing yakitori the Japanese pickles and so many others like the Japanese shrimp and shiitake fritter we also tried the mushroom croquettes which were surprisingly cheesy gooey gooey with an earth umami note. Not something I'd do again but glad I tried. Honestly we ordered a lot of the menu and I'm not ashamed at all. This spot is just grand!
