Mayflower China

We stopped by here for dinner on our first vacation night in Washington. I had read good reviews prior and was not disappointed. We had scallops with broccoli, shrimp lo mien and curry chicken. All were delicious with large portions. The hot tea was excellent as well. The service and staff seemed truly happy we were there.

Should have listened to my instinct. We were the only people eating at the height of the dinner rush. Walked into the restroom to see cobwebs on the ceiling. Those things should have closed the deal, and we should have walked. Nope. One bad decision was followed by another as we actually ordered food. When it arrived, it was obvious from the color, smell, taste and texture that the grease in their frier probably hasnt been changed since the Bush Administration. The fried rice was more dark brown/black than tan. Sweet and sour pork was overcooked and tasted old. We barely could stomach a third of our meal, and when we told the waitress how horrible it was, she did not respond with any concern. As we walked out, I noticed the 2 foot wide traffic trail of grease buildup on the carpet. We are from put of state, but if I lived here and they PAID me to eat their food, I wouldn't take the job without negotiating hazard pay. Just glad we didn't get food poisoning.

Overall the experience was ok. The prices are very low which makes this place a peeling from a price standpoint. But the food is just okay. I had the General Tao's chicken and the fried prawns with chow mein and rice. Honestly, it kind of tasted like Panda Express, but a little less fresh. So the food was just okay, but the staff was really nice and attentive. If you're looking for really good Chinese food, this is probably not the place for you. But if you are looking for cheap okay Chinese food, this place will work.

Food is really good and a decent value of what you pay for no one greated me when I walked in but the guy that talked to me was really nice and had my food in minutes. I opened the new food and then enjoyed the chicken the egg roll and the complimentary BBQ pork as a suggestion the fried rice was a little dry. But the rest of the food was great quality. Nice job guys.

The food is not good. The sweet and sour pork was fine but the meat inside the wonton soup had a rotten flavor. The fried shrimp was awful- the batter was way too thick so very mushy on the inside and the shrimp had a strong fish flavor. The chow mein and rice were ok. They did deliver quickly and were very friendly.
