Peking Gardens West - Great Falls

I would rate this place lower, but what can you really expect from Chinese food in the heart of Montana? The spring rolls (which were meatless) were soggy and had a fishy taste. I can only imagine how a Montana steak dinner would fare if served in the middle of China.

We stopped by to get a simple order: a small portion of egg rolls and a large container of white rice. To my surprise, the egg rolls for three cost $8.25, which is reasonable considering price increases. However, when the cashier mentioned that the large container of white rice would be TWELVE DOLLARS, I initially thought it was just a mistake. They charged $3 per cup, and with four cups totaling $12, there wasn’t any room for negotiation. After I returned home, my sister called to confirm the price and spoke with the owner, who confirmed that a large side of white rice is indeed TWELVE DOLLARS. While it’s understandable to raise prices, gouging for white rice feels excessive. Sadly, after many years of being loyal customers, we have decided not to return following this experience. We had even planned a special family dinner there next week, but now we are considering going to the Mongolian barbecue at 3D instead. It’s disheartening after decades of patronage. No more soup for us.

The food is pretty good, but the service is consistently slow, whether you’re dining in or taking out. We've often found ourselves waiting an hour to be served, even when there are fewer than 10 people in the restaurant. When we order take-out, they usually say it will be ready in 20-30 minutes, but we often end up waiting twice that long when we arrive to pick it up.

The first time. Misunderstanding everywhere. But finally? You got what we ordered? Crab workers were the only good. General Tso Chicken was fair, never had it without vegetables. Pig rice was very sad. Rice was boiled and the pig was half the size of a peas and hard like a rock and no spits or egg. The spring rolls narrowed as if they had changed several times. All in all, a waste of money.

Its good food and the person who brought it to me was nice but I was told the Cooks was mad because I ordered American food and I said well why have it on the menu than I work in food to and I don't agree with menu things but why complain just make what's on your menu an what the customer wants but other than that it's good
