Do NOT recommend. The hot and sour soup was awful. The amount of sugar in it was unexpected. The egg was minimal. There was no spice. It literally tastes like they took sweet and sour sauce and watered it down into a soup. My husband found a hair in his chicken and rice. The portions are very small and overall the food was disappointing. Meh

Well now I know why they are never busy anymore. It’s been years since I have been there and I see why. I ordered a large fried rice. Picked it up and costs 9.95! No vegetables at all in it. Rice was not fully cooked and was crunchy. Never again. I feel bad, I try to support mom and pop restaurants. But that was horrible.

Was quoted that the chicken chow mein came with fried noodles it did not, and what l received of the noodles was very little. The pork fried rice was average. The Chicken Fingers and Crab Rangoon was good that is about all.

First time here. They offer dine in, but you have to go up to the counter to place your order, & purchase bottled drinks. The young blonde girls running the front seem inexperienced and not customer service oriented. The people that I assume own the place were friendly & helpful. I ordered sweet & sour chicken. I got chicken fingers, with a side of S&S.. My bf got General Tso chicken. The chicken was so dry! Crab rangoons & rice were good! I feel bad this place seems to be outdated and struggling. Hope it can turn around sometime since there aren't many good options in Newport.

I’ve been eating here since I was a kid and I will always say the food here is amazing! Because of the pandemic she hasn’t had enough business and that is why she opens certain hours and the other side of the buffet isn’t open anymore. Her best hours are during the weekdays between 11AM-1PM, that’s when she puts out a lot of fresh food. She also does takeout! I know the place isn’t the tidiest or newest but it’s just her and her husband running the restaurant so have some compassion. She doesn’t fully understand English so that’s another thing to take into consideration, otherwise her food will always be my favorite! ♡︎

I ordered shrimp with lobster sauce. It was completely inedible. Waitress brought it to me spilling over the plate, bland, with 4 shrimp. The So-called lobster sauce was slimy. When I told her the issues I had she did nothing to fix the problem except to say you're kidding. The Egg drop soup tasted burned. We will never be back

I really enjoyed the food. My friend and I ordered a variety of different things. My favorite is their pork fried rice and their orange chicken. Yum. I was pleasantly surprised because they also had a dj playing music while we were eating. He was awesome. The music was a smidge too loud but I loved it. Because the restaurant got so packed, out waitress was taking longer and longer to tend to us. That's about the only downfall and their cocktails weren't the greatest but that's not a big deal to me at least. Keep in mind that people will get up and start dancing, so be prepared for that... I definitely recommend to go and experience it.

I haven't been to a worse place to eat in a decade or more matsuri sushi in Vallejo rivals this junk. Modern China Cafe must be broke based on them falsely advertising what they're selling since both dishes (lettuce wraps and Mango Chicken) were half diced yucca or maybe jicama. Either way it was a flavorless filler vegetable that was obviously there to just fill up the plate. Both of the dishes were practically flavorless. The only flavor came from the sauce which I'd bet money was ketchup. Could be banana sauce, which is just Filipino ketchup. Either way that's it for seasoning. Barley cooked yucca and ketchup for both dishes. Sucked bad. Honestly the only food that tasted good was the lettuce and the small bone stock hoisin sauce they managed to squeeze out on a dish. The master chefs in the back nailed the lettuce wrap aesthetic when they served a head of lettuce sliced in half on a plate. Each time the server showed up his nose was running and he was sucking it back in while we were talking. After pointing out how terrible everything was the bill came out unaltered. $35 for half an ice burg lettuce, yucca root and some ketchup. Went to the bathroom and there was no soap and no paper towels. Hope this place goes out of business soon.

Food use to be ok know it's just overpriced and hard brought 4 sesame chicken for the family had to throw all away for almost 50 bucks don't know what happened but i have wash my hands i use to love the restaurant in emporia before they shutdown due to there tragedy. If you want a good meal to eat you may need to rethink your choice i wasted my money.

I've read several reviews about this place and I agree with a few of them. Yes, I have called this restaurant and had the phone hung up on me several times. (Rude Much?) The "CASH ONLY" policy is a huge inconvenience. If you can get past these hiccups, you might actually enjoy some decent food. We ordered Shrimp Lo Mein, Shrimp Egg FooYung and General Tso's Chicken the food was actually pretty good. The Egg Foo Yung was some of the best I've ever had, All of the food was pretty darn good. Advice to this establishment, Be a little more pleasant to your Customers. After all, they are the ones that "PAY YOU"#IJS

Tried something new with the new addition of the xiao long boa. Absolutely incredible flavor wise and that's coming from an extremely picky eater who doesn't venture from their comfort zone often. Egg rolls are also the absolute best! Our favorite spot for Chinese food always ready fast and delicious.

Had to have something to eat quickly for the family & Chinese food is ALWAYS loved; it was well prepared, seasoned traditionally and though traffic was flowing, not a long wait. GAMBEI!!

Disgusting. This picture is supposed to be fried shrimp. I only went there because they used to have sausage spring rolls I loved, but even those were different. This wasn't not good. It was literally "can't swallow that" inedible. Ordered over $120 worth of food to feed the whole family, and I want to throw it all in the trash.

I been ordering for years to the small part of pitchkettle for years and after the new owners after an adjustment period, I love it still and it’s always tasty. Don’t get the love like from previous owner but still I enjoy the food and I don’t mind spending my money there.

I'm a sucker for a buffet. I know it's a problem. But they are amazing. This place was great. Hot and sour soup was perfect. The people were nice. Place was pretty clean and quiet. I've gone through five times. Next time I'll try the hibachi side. Looks pretty damn yummy. Health score 93%

Food is good for the price but some of the food was cold. Service is good, place is clean and so is the latrine when the place first opens, however some humans are filthy and trash the men's room.

I recently visited this restaurant, and I am beyond impressed! The portions are absolutely huge, cheap ($11) and the taste is incredibly good. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food and generous servings. Five stars all the way!

Just picked up my sweet and sour chicken with fried rice. The sauce was watered down and the chicken was dry. Might be leftover from yesterday. Won't be back for a while.☹️

Since PE management didn’t do anything about my complaint to them (2 weeks ago) so I’m just gonna do it here 😉 So I ordered a bigger plate with half chow mein and fried rice, entrees of kung pao chicken, fire wok steak and shrimp and teriyaki chicken. But instead of fire wok steak and shrimp, they gave me beef and mushroom (this is the second time they did my order wrong!) also the portion of today’s order are just half of what I usually get, I got more of bell peppers and zucchini than the chicken LOL, did not realize also that y’all would cut down the portion of third entree into half. Very much disappointed in this trip, especially from this location, as they almost always make mistakes of my orders or sloooooooow, oh and the food here tastes one step below the one in Wendover. Finally the cherry on top, I had diarrhea after eating this. If you wanna try PE, just go to the other location at Wendover, it’s BETTER and FASTER!

Ordered online and it’s always frustrating to pickup. The whole point of ordering online is skipping the line and wait, but you have to wait for the employee to acknowledge you because they hold your food ransom in exchange for you pleading to be acknowledged. Finally, they acknowledge you and you are gifted burnt egg rolls. Not the 1st time this has happened, but almost always. Not to mention how I’ve witnessed employees get into arguments with customers and threaten violence.

I used to love this food. I have ordered twice in the last 3 months and I can’t eat it. The sauce isn’t bad but the texture of the meat makes me wonder what I’m eating. This is the second time I spent a lot of money on it and I’m throwing it away.

I’ve been ordering from here for the last few years. I knew Christmas they would be busy. Ordered at 5:50, order said it would be ready at 6:30. Checked in with counter at 6:40. Told it would be another half hour which I was fine with. Went to the counter at 7:15 and was told it would be another half hour. Waited 30 more minutes, checked in and got told another twenty minutes. Keep in mind, other folks walked in, ordered and left with food within this time frame. We ordered 4 meals. I had enough and asked for a refund which was met with wild facial expressions. Never again. So much for a family tradition. Extremely disappointed tonight. I’ve always recommended them, but not anymore.

Ordered for pick up. Food was ready on my arrival. Fresh and hot. It was exactly as I requested. This place has been here for ages and I used to order from here when I was in college. They used to be the only place to deliver on campus. Brought back memories. Thanks for a yummy lunch! Photos are of the beef mei fun minus veggies 😍.

Went to grab dinner this evening. I had the sesame chicken with house fried rice, along with a order of braised boneless wings. Everything was delicious, and very flavorful. Plenty of spacious seating to dine in.
