Also I really like the kung pao chicken . They have broccoli beef and orange chicken sesame chicken and salt and pepper shrimp too .!!! ”
“ Everything was great and flavorful! Step above the usual salty Chinese fast food Will definitely be making the drive over here for Chinese food Chow mein is amazing, even steamed rice is amazing! Had to get a side order of FRESHLY MADE orange chicken and I was not disappointed Kudos to the chef! ”
“ I haven't been back 20 years, and it still looks the same way it did back in the day. My family used to eat their vegetable bowls--warm fluffy rice topped with crisp gravy vegetable melody, topped with crunchy wantons. Taste was a bit different this time around but still pretty good. Place is still clean. No dine allowed yet. Portions are decent. ”
“ Nostalgia is the first word that comes to mind when I think about Tai Pan. For most, food sitting under a hot lamp is not their ideal way of eating lunch or dinner but for me, it brings me back to my childhood! Looking for fancy food? Wine list? Nope, you'll just find nothing but walk in service with some amazing food. The chow mein and fried rice that comes with every combo is very flavorful and always consistent. I opted to get 2 side with my entree and went for the broccoli beef and the sliced BBQ pork. Broccoli beef was amazing, had a nice gravy to it that covered the vegetables. BBQ pork was sliced thick and had a nice fatty pieces attached that coated your lips in delicious fatty collagen. I love how over stuffed they fill your box with food! Tai Pan will forever be in my heart. Tucked away in a little corner behind a mall. You only come here if you know this place and you DEFINITELY want to get to know this place. Until I see you again (I always stop here when I visit from Las Vegas, NV). ”
“ They are friendly give big portions and the food is delicious if you pay with card under $25 it's a $1 surcharge besides that it's great ”
“ BEST THAI TEA! love this place! I always walk past it on my way home and have been eyeing the food and drinks, decided to actually go in for once and I'm glad I did! I was actually surprised but the Thai Tea is the best Thai Tea I've ever had, I got it without boba but I bet it's good with it too, it's really good and the prices in general are great. The people working are also really kind, clean fun environment has TVs The strawberry drink tasted great, I'm definitely coming back and bringing someone to sit down and eat the food :) ”
