Chinese Trendy Food 味府

First and foremost, this is a QR restaurant so not only they don't have a physical menu, their TVs don't even showcase anything worthwhile but random channels. Extremely inconvenient should you have someone older in your party who is not tech savvy. This place looks clean and high scale, typical for a college town storefront, and it looks pleasing enough with its cultural decoration. As I have said before, being a strictly QR code restaurant means the employees will not take verbal order of any kind, and must be done via mobile. I know this is a tactic to save on labor, but I get it. The food are served surprisingly fast, to the point of *too fast*. It definitely feels like they were just heating it up. I can not confirm how authentic the food was for not being Chinese, but the pork combo rice dishes were very spicy 🥵 🌶️ for our palettes. Forget the authenticity because does it matter if they don't taste good in the first place?

Nice place on campus. Didn’t exactly love the food though. Service, prices and atmosphere was good. I ordered a Kung pao chicken with rice. It was supposed to be spicy but was super sweet while also being spicy. I couldnt really relish it.

The service is fast. The menu is QR code generated. The food could a little more flavor. The portion per serving I think is filling. This restaurant has men’s and women’s bathroom. This a clean restaurant. Mainly student of USC and resident of the area are the guess of this restaurant. There is a membership rewards for those who frequent the restaurant. The decor is the traditional Chinese restaurant. Four large TVs with sports and news. They do play pop American music. Reservation is available.

I ordered using UBER EATS Very disappointed we found a metal piece on my food. My wife almost ate it! Not ordering anymore.

I am on a mission to try every semi-recommended food item near USC and Chinese Trendy Food was my latest victim. The popcorn chicken was not very crunchy, but if you want popcorn chicken near campus you don’t have that many options to begin with. It was outrageously expensive — came out to over $15 after tax. I probably wouldn’t come to get it again. The lady behind the counter was friendly though!
