The management is nice and the food is plentiful and delicious. I am really particular about Chinese food and this satisfy that. I would recommend this place all the time

Unfortunately it's average at best in my opinion. The food lacks anything that makes you want to return or craving more

Ordered from Door Dash. Actually called to remind them to put a couple of forks in the order. No forks, no napkins, and the food is meh

Food was gross! Pork fried rice had no taste and rice was smushy. House chow main was full of grease and some kind of sauce that should not be on there. I ordered broccoli and prawns and it was dryer that the steamed rice. Smh. The only thing that was half way good was the honey walnut prawns. But most of those were dry. 64.00 down the drain. I wont be back ever! And I am starving.

Food is good pricewise that's a 50-50 opinion. However, customer service is so bad. Upon walking in I was rushed to order mind you it's my first time here. When ordering and asking for prices, etc. again was cut off short. I was not even asked if I wanted takeout or dine in. After ordering I mentioned I was dining in, the employee was not happy and complain because they had already put my food as takeout. When I asked for a to go cover for my food box, I was yelled that being told to not dine in because if I do I have to tip her and I did not tipped when I ordered and payed. I usually tend to tip once before leaving to see the service provided, plus I was on my lunch and was planning to dine in. Upon leaving, she yelled at me in her own language, and as I was exiting the door she yelled fuck you in English. Never have I experienced this or given a review but man that was awful.

One of the best Chinese food in the area. You are not just another customer here. The attendant is very kind and enjoys talking with you. The Singapore noodles is outstanding and the dishes are all Cantonese authentic!

Usually love to support any restaurant regardless of its reviews but unfortunately ended up throwing away most of my order due to extremely poor quality.BBQ Pork Fried Rice was mushy and wetPrawns w/ Lobster Sauce had hard, overcooked shrimp and the sauce had an old heavy taste and bitter smell that isn't associated with a dish that's usually clear and fragrantWhile the menu sits at a low price point that I haven't seen since the 90's, it is not worth the pain and price of having to dispose food that has gone bad :(

I am done with this place. (I assume the person who runs the front is the owner, so I will call her that throughout the review.) My boyfriend and I have been visiting Union Chinese together a few times annually for the past 8 years. One day we were out with our parrot and decided we wanted Chinese food. We popped our head in the door and asked if it was OK to bring him in, or should we just get the food to-go. There were no other customers. The owner welcomed us in and asked us many questions about our parrot. She brought him out some orange slices. We made sure she was OK with us bringing him in the future, and she happily agreed. This restaurant rarely has diners inside, and they have a small amount of take-out activity. Since bringing a parrot out in public promotes conversation, 2 or 3 people usually stop at our table to talk about the parrot. They ask questions, we answer. Everyone walks away smiling. When Covid guidelines allowed indoor dining again, people really enjoyed our little chats. It was obvious people were missing the social interaction. In Dec 2022 we went to the restaurant with another couple. The wife is Chinese. The owner kept coming over and speaking to her in Mandarin. I knew she was talking about my BF. After we left, our friend told us that the owner was giving her an earful about how she doesn't like us. She doesn't want us coming to their restaurant because my BF talks too much and she doesn't like him speaking to other customers. We took that with a grain of salt, but kept it in the back of our minds. My BF and I went in for dinner yesterday. I paid attention to the owner's behavior. She welcomed us in and came over to say HI to the parrot. All was good. Half way through the meal she came to our table to check on us. She asked where our Chinese friend was. We told her. Then my BF told her what our friend said the owner was saying about us. The owner confirmed it. She told my BF to his face that he talks too much. We laughed it off, because the owner has a snarky attitude all the time and we thought she was just being funny in her own way. After my BF paid the bill, I ordered some soup to-go. I handed her my credit card. She turned to my BF and said "Don't be cheap!" I quickly said I am paying for it because it is for ME to take to MY house, not his house, so I don't expect him to pay for it. She again told him he was being cheap. When we left, the one other couple who was dining stopped us to talk about the parrot. We had a quick chat, but the owner was giving us dirty looks. She walked by and said "don't talk to customers!" The couple said "It's OK." I just said "come on, let's go". I walked out the door first, then faced back toward the restaurant when I held the door for my BF. The owner walked over to the table with the other customers and had a very harsh sneer on her face as I saw her mouth the words "he talks too much" as she gestured her hand like a duck quacking. I watched her rant to these people and they just awkwardly looked at her. We got in the car and I told my BF what I had seen. He said "Well, she just lost 2 repeat customers." We'll never go back. BTW, our Chinese friend will never go back again. She thought the food was terrible.

I buy lunch for my 97 year old grandpa daily through door dash. He really liked the crispy fish with chicken fried rice lunch special. Personally I didn't love it, but if he likes it, then 4 stars it is!
