Emei Restaurant

Went with my wife and adult son. We are pretty picky and we were really impressed with our meal and wish we could’ve ate more. We started with the hot and sour soup which always serves as a litmus test for me. It had the right amount of spice and tang to it. And the right thickness. We then ordered a number of dishes and all were very tasty. Not too much sauce and not salty or over spicy. Will come again.

The food was delicious. The excellent egg drop soup to start. The Chongqing Spicy Chicken was phenomenal. Perfectly crisp and not too spicy. I understand why it is a favorite on the menu. The veggie fried rice was great but the Lo Mein was spectacular. Both the Orange Chicken and General Tso’s chicken were superb. Portion sizes were more than generous allowing for the entrees to be easily shared amongst the table.

• chongqing spicy chicken - alot of mixed opinions about this dish. my mother said it was bland, sister said it was mouth numbing, and i thought it was floral/herbal in a way i disliked. • kung pao chicken - delightful. easily the best from this meal as everyone cleared the plate. • jumbo shrimp in walnut honey sauce - my only issue is the amount you get which is far too little. the batter is crisp and meat tender. • string beans - the most gorgeous accompaniment. the sauce was addicting and the beans weren’t soggy but snappy. • eggplant with garlic sauce - didn’t try but it was a hit. • steamed vegetable dumplings - didn’t try but i heard the skin was a bit thick. notes i questioned the cleanliness as i was bothered by the water having floaters in it so good thing i brought my owala. the ordering process was interesting as we used the qr code then ordered stuff on our phone. it’s perfect for a large family and not too pricy. overall, i highly recommend you check this place out.

We got the sliced beef and tripe, Chongqing spicy chicken, lamb with cumin, and the shredded potato. The lamb was delicious and the chicken was super crispy! They were definitely my favorite dishes. The cold temperature of the beef and tripe provided a nice contrast compared to the heat of the chili oil. The shredded potato reminded me of mung bean sprouts in texture and flavor. There was a 30 minute wait for a table for two. You can order through a QR code without waiting for someone to come by.

Bravo!!! Everything was amazing! We had a pork egg roll, steamed pork dumplings, and wonton soup for shareables. For the drink I had the lychee martini! Absolutely delicious! We had for our meal chongquing spicy chicken which was really good, no gravy tho. But loved the spice! We also had the beef with black pepper on sizzling plate!!! This was the best part and we had fried rice with eggs with it! So good with the gravy on the fried rice! Never want to eat Americanized Chinese food again!!! Would def recommend! The staff are wonderful and helpful and the ambience is spectacular!!!
