Lilac Blossom (Greystone Plaza)

This place is an absolute rip off and the manager/owner could care less. Look at what they are serving, calling chicken, and charging an exuberant price for. Do yourself a favor and go to Xiang wang. Great food there (across the street), a FRACTION OF THE PRICE, and the quality you would expect. You do NOT get what you pay for here! I even ordered a soda, was charged $3 for it, only to be presented with a warm CAN of soda, that turned out being flat..cool. The owner (manager never on site) refused to credit/discount for the “food”, then told me to drive all the way back to return if I want a refund (which I should have just done)- OR they would credit me next time (as if I’ll give them my money again-lol). Over $50 for a pu-pu platter for two, can of soda, and veg lo mein.. What a joke. Other place was 12 dollars cheaper for same order, way better food, and larger quantity! The crab Rangoon was gross, beef teriyaki tasted like pure garlic, spare ribs had no meat-all fat, chicken didn’t exist-it was just batter, and noodles were okay. Don’t give your business to people who treat customers this way. This place is raking in cash and could are less about the service, quality, and standard. I feel bad for the poor girl who has to work for these people. All they care about is money $$$$ BEWARE!

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant. Quality & service are excellent. Great ambience. The hot and sour soup is the best I've had anywhere. Other stupendous dishes include the Szechuan dumplings, ginger chicken with string beans, crab ragoon, and seasame chicken. On a recent visit we tried the Peking dumplings which I heartily recommend. Some COVID-era changes take a bit of the polish off the overall experience, but the food and service are still A+++. Some changes I noticed... The menus are now simple folded paper instead of the previous elegant folders. They no longer bring tea by default (I presume still on request). They no longer include orange slices, and warm towels with the fortune cookies. Previously they packed the food for you in the back, but now they hand out boxes for you to help.

First time in a long time eating out at a Chinese restaurant for New Years Eve. Wow, pricey. A little shocked at the grand total. We ordered a pupu platter for 3, fried rice, lo mein, a side of Peking ravioli, Mongolian beef, and beef with broccoli. Way too much food for 3 of us. Hubs and I each got an alcoholic beverage and a hot tea. Our son only had water as he is trying to lower his sugar intake😊 Food was very good and the waiter really tried hard on such a difficult night. Our total? Including the tip was $288!!! Though it was nice to go out and not have to cook dinner, it will be a long time before we do that again (if ever).

We ended up walking out without having food. The server was in a bad mood when we arrived. It's worth noting we arrived around 8:45, with 45 mins till close. We felt that was reasonable enough, however when I asked for warm water and caught an earful about how there is cold and hot, warm does not exist. Since he could not be bothered to serve us with respect, we decided to bother him no longer. The host mentioned that the server works 80 hours a week but that doesn't justify his attitude.
