Friend's House Chinese Cuisine - Buford

I had got takeout yesterday for shrimp fried rice veg chopsuey and this was my very first time trying anything from friends house. And I was very pleased!!! The food was so delicious and tasty! Me my family enjoyed the food and the highlight dish was the veg chopsuey veggies were so fresh, sauce was delicious and it was cooked to perfection! This will be my go to place for Chinese food! ?

The rice was stale, and the General Tso's sauce had a dated flavor. However, the chicken was fresh.

This place has gone so far down hill. Been going here for years. Wanted to eat where we could be served, not take out to eat at home. We got to sit and eat... In take out containers. Ordered a large soup and she wanted to bring me 2 small soups. I said we want a large. I ordered a beef dish, which I only order at upscale Chinese restaurants because if the quality. Well, this quality was awful! I couldn't eat it. We just wanted water to drink. Couldn't get a cup of water, but had to buy bottled water, and it was warm. Someone got a carry out styrofoam cup of some beverage, but not us. I am through with this place!! Time to find a new Chinese restaurant near me.

We ordered chicken lo mein Tuesday. It smelled funny. I thought it was just me because I don't eat noodles. The next day, my son wanted to order the same thing. My daughter told him that he could have the rest of hers because it made her sick (vomiting and slight runs -sorry! . I thought maybe they had used the same spoon that they used for my shrimp fried rice. As she has shrimp allergy. Picked up the new order and it smelled funny again. However, my son said it didn't taste funny. Yet the next morning, he experienced the same thing but much worse. Went back and asked for a refund. Also called Gwinnett Dept of Health. Pls beware of the chicken lo mein. Not going back ..

Unfortunately, the hot and sour soup fell flat; it lacked flavor and the broth was overly salty. The egg rolls were quite standard, resembling those you find in many Chinese restaurants, possibly from a supplier like Cisco. However, the fried dumplings were a different story. They seemed homemade, and the pork filling was delightful. I found them to be very tasty, and they were definitely the highlight of our meal.
