Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Let me start with saying that this was my go to Chinese restaurant when Foon Yings was under construction for almost a year. But that has ended with this one meal alone. My go to order is Sweet and Sour Chicken Combination Meal, which includes an egg roll and I also order a shrimp egg roll on the side w/ a drink. This meal was extremely disappointing, after paying almost $17 for the food alone and then tipping $4 for what I thought was good service I feel bamboozled. I believe my entire meal was an old meal from a previous day. The chicken was OVERCOOKED and very displeasing to the eye. Truthfully they look like dried up chitterlings. The fried rice was extra fried and greasy. The egg roll that came with the meal was GREASY and SOGGY. The sweet and sour sauce was like jello and lumpy, which is odd because that is not the consistency of sauce. The only thing I was pleased with and ate was the shrimp egg roll which was still greasy because it came fresh out the grease, but they are now making larger egg rolls I noticed since Foon Yings reopened their establishment. The pricing was okay, though they charged me $2.75 for a 16.9floz Dr. Pepper. I may be looking at this from a petty pov, but in this economy I think sodas should stay in a reasonable price range. Again I was excited to get the food so at the time of purchase it did not matter - but now I’m dissatisfied with my choices. All in all I would say proceed with caution when coming to this restaurant. Previous visits were good and up until today I have never been so disappointed. Next time I will just wait the 90mins to get FRESH Foon Yings.

The customer service was excellent, but unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. I ordered the chicken fried rice, and the rice wasn’t fried at all—the chicken was tough and dry. This was my first visit, and sadly, it will be my last.

I ordered wonton soup and 6 crab Rangoon, and it was absolutely disgusting. The soup tasted bland and greasy, the wontons were mushy, and the Rangoon were soggy and had barely any filling. Totally overpriced for the poor quality — I couldn’t even finish it. Would not recommend to anyone.
