Chin Yuen Chinese - Monticello

I ordered the cream cheese wontons and lo mein. What I received were hard wontons and lo mein noodles with just a few pieces of chicken, some onions, and a few carrot slivers. It was 90% noodles and not a vegetable in sight. I used to love this place because I would get a vibrant meal full of meat and vegetables. What went wrong?

I ordered the coconut shrimp and fried rice. Unfortunately, the shrimp were coated in cornstarch and canned coconut, which was not what I expected; I was hoping for the flaked coconut that most restaurants use. The so-called "fried" rice was just plain rice with soy sauce added. Additionally, they no longer offer egg foo young, which was disappointing. They definitely need to update their online menu! Overall, this was the worst Chinese restaurant experience I've ever had. I won't be returning. The only positive aspect was their location. I can't recommend this place at all.

I visited for the first time and tried the Sesame Chicken and Szechuan Chicken. Both dishes were outstanding and had the perfect level of spice when ordered medium. I also sampled the house special egg rolls, which were incredibly tasty. Everything was packaged in to-go containers, which I really appreciated.
