Went there Saturday with my husband. I was disappointed in the food and service. The General Tso’s chicken was mostly breading dipped in the sauce, which was tasty. But I cut few pieces of “chicken” and found none! The fried rice tasted different. I did not like it. Crab Rangoon was ok. Husband thought chicken in garlic sauce was tasty, had too many big chunks of vegetables though, fried rice was basic and he liked the eggroll. Not worth the drive for me. Sorry to say, I will not be going back.

It’s hard to get a bad review from me because I like just about anything. Don’t complain much. However, the General Tso’s combo I got here was very disappointing. The chicken was tough, mostly breading and very little meat to it. Really, hardly any chicken here, just fried coating. The fried rice was too salty, and I am one who likes a lot of salt. The egg roll, also, was overcooked and tough. Definitely will not return.

Delicious & reasonably priced lunch menu. No more rolled ice cream though. Still worth coming for the food.

I LOVE Enlai 59. Food is always hot, fresh, tasty and prepared in a timely manner. Their crab rangoon is SOOO good. I typically get their shrimp or pork Mei Fun, which is to die for, and in all honesty, I’ve never ordered anything that wasn’t good. Word of caution, do not confuse this location with the one off Essington because I have made that mistake and the food is NOT the same.

This is the best tasting chinese food in america. If you haven’t eaten here you better do you and your family a favor and come over to flavor. It beats lucky bamboo, king kong,pong,or where ever you asshats are eating. But please don’t go on Thursday am. Because I go and don’t want to wait. I am very selfish when it comes to great food and even more so when you find out it’s a mom and pop and they have 3 beautiful babies and do so much for the church.. beautiful family, great food never been disappointed.

The first bite I took from my meal had a large chunk of stainless steel shaving in it! See the picture. The lady working up front also didn’t have her mask on when I came in but puts it on after she sees me walk in. Well that doesn’t do much good to cook and work without a mask on but to pretend like it was on the whole time once the customer walks in.

Enlai 59 is the best Chinese restaurant around. I’ve tried many of the combo meals but I always go back to the sesame chicken. They’re also very accommodating with substitutions. 10/10!
