    #6 Beef with Green Bell Peppers
    Julia G.

    There were only eight people in our Toyota Motorhome Rally group who came to dinner here on a Sunday night, at the suggestion of our annual event organizer. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. That is because me being Chinese, struck up a conversation with them. I did not speak as good Mandarin as one of the white people who went to China on business 26 times. I speak "Shanghainese" fluently, which the owners only spoke Mandarin and maybe Cantonese. For those of you who don't know, there's no such thing as "Chinese" language. Every city and even village in China has its own completely different language (not dialect) that a neighboring city such as Shanghai does not byspeak. The three main Chinese languages are Shanghainese, Mandarin, and Cantonese which is people in Canton (and Hong Kong) speak (featured language on Bonanza). How did this Chinese restaurant get started in such a way out place like Quartzite? The owner told me he had a friend who came from China and settled in Quartzite and beckon him to come and open up this Chinese restaurant at the old Stagecoach Steakhouse location. I think they've only been open about a year when we ate there last February 2024. Owner was a retired school teacher in China, who came to Quartzsite to open this restaurant. The food is what myself, a Chinese person, who knows what real Chinese food is, we regard this as American food, which real Chinese would never go out to eat. My entree pictured below is Green Pepper Beef, #6. The menu was very simple, just this one laminated page, see my photo below, all "American Food". I would give the entree selections three stars but someone who is a white American may rate higher because they don't know any better what REAL Chinese food is. Real Chinese food has nothing to do with a cook being chinese. Surely, authentic Chinese food as it is served in China, it's not something you would find in Quartzite, AZ. There are a handful of real Chinese restaurants in the Asian cultural district in Phoenix at Main St and Dobson and in the 99 Ranch shopping center at Chandler Boulevard and Dobson. Truly authentic Chinese food is also found in the San Gabriel Monterey Park area of LA county. You can identify those restaurants where everyone eating in there is of Chinese decent. You can tell by the restaurant's name "Stagecoach", it is about American food from the TV show that "Hop Sing" would eat on Bonanza. The food service at "Stagecoach" was so slow, that it took about an hour of waiting after we placed our orders, before all 8 got served their entrees, so we ate "staggered". Another reviewer mentioned such slow food service, too. But we were not in a rush. So overall 2 stars. No one said they were not satisfied with their selections. it got the job done.

    It's the only Chinese restaurant in town (outside RV Show season). In mid-afternoon on a weekday, DW and I were the only patrons. We were seated promptly and cheerfully. The menu was pretty basic, typical small-town Chinese. DW chose the House Fried Rice, I chose the Kung Pao Chicken. The kitchen speed was overly long for an empty restaurant, and inconsistent. My plate came out alone. It sat in front of me cooling for about five minutes before DW's was delivered. The portions were modest. The Kung Pao was not bad, but unremarkable. The sauce was heavy on the soy and salt, and there was no detectable heat to the seasoning. (There was sriracha on the table, but that's entirely the wrong flavor.) DW said her rice was "good, very tasty," with bits of chicken, beef, and shrimp, though no detectable egg. I wouldn't make a trip to eat here, but if I were in Quartzsite for any length of time and had a yen for Chinese food, I wouldn't shy from another visit.

    Chinese food, excellent flavors, large servings! Stagecoach is no longer a steakhouse.

    Really good Chinese food. Fast, fresh, and friendly. No MSG. Huge bowls of soup, big plates of food. Accommodates groups and children. No waiting when the rest of the town is packed with long lines. It's a hidden gem!

    Sorry, the plate was emptied really fast because it was amazingly delicious!

    Food was great. Small selection but it works. At least it's a real restaurant not a steel building turned into kinda like a restaurant.

    We have dined here for lunch several times in the past months and have always been greeted with a…read moresmile and seated promptly. The egg flower soup is easily the best I've tasted in years. The lunch specials come with a choice of either fried rice or noodles, you won't be disappointed with either choice. The food tastes great and not oily like what some Chinese restaurants serve. The only thing that I don't like is the boxes of supplies that are stacked up above a modesty wall, it kinda distracts from the oriental decor.

    I'm giving this a solid 4 stars. If the servings were either a bit larger or the price was a bit…read morelower I'd say 5 stars. We had beef on a skewer that tasted fantastic but it was four tiny pieces. We had crab Rangoons, I only saw one tiny piece of crab. The rangoons were really tiny. There were six of those. Our main dishes were kung pao chicken and beef with black pepper sauce. We chose spicy dishes because that's what we enjoy. These could have used a bit more spice but they were good. I was disappointed that they don't offer white rice. We had the choice of fried rice or noodles. We chose fried rice because we have never heard of noodles with Chinese food. Of everything we had, I'd rate the rice as something I wouldn't order again. It was dry and tasteless. Dinner came to $70 with a 20% tip and there were no leftovers. This is very unusual for us with Chinese food. We live in Maine and at this price point we would have left the restaurant near us in Maine with enough leftovers for dinner for two twice. But I know this isn't Maine. Service was great until we got our food. No one checked back to see if we needed anything and the server who presented the check never asked if we enjoyed it. The restaurant was clean. We would stop again but I can't give it 5 stars.

    IN 40 YEARS OF EATING, THIS IS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD I HAVE EVER, EVER HAD!…read more I've been a chef longer than you probably want to know, and I've had Asian cuisine at some of the best restaurants in the world, pre-yelp. With that said, this place absolutely blew me away. From the plating, presentation, flavor, atmosphere, and decor, everything was on point. This place isn't just good--it's up on top of the mountain. Absolutely perfect. And honestly, I don't understand some of the one- and two-star reviews. Bland? Old food? DoorDash mistake? A bad day? Didn't like the flooring? Some reviews seem to have everything to do with a bad attitude instead of the all important: Food. Taste is subjective, of course. But when you've spent decades around food, you know when something is done exceptionally well....This was exceptional! If you don't like this food, I'm not saying there's something wrong with you. ...but something Wong with you! Look at my pics, no filter needed... tastes just as good as it looks. 10/10. One of the best Chinese dining experiences we've ever had.

    We've been coming here for years and we just really were like "What happened ?"…read more I asked for hot green tea and I got just hot tea. Then portion sizes!!!! What the heck happened??? Food was great but literally they cut the portions in half.... But not the price! Paid $50 for a Sunday lunch ! Very disappointing and won't be back!
