Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

As many Chinese places as there are around the KCK/midtown/stateline area this one does not stand out. The inside is filthy and there was nobody there and no music over the PA which made the entire place creepy and uncomfortable. The Hot & sour soup was like luke warm goo and it was terrible. The entrees themselves were very authentic but nothing exceptional. We had a hair in one of our entrees and while they did remake the entree they did not apologize let alone comp the entree. We will not be going back.

I have to give China Tom's (CT) credit--the food is better than the location and decor would portend. CT is located in a strip mall in Kansas City, Kansas--right next to a liquor store and various and sundry other strip-mallish shops. Strike one. Next, the entire restaurant was empty when we entered. Granted, we ate at 8:30pm, which musn't be a bustling dinner time for most Kansans. Still, no patrons at all is usually a warning sign that the food is sub-par. Strike two. Addendum to strike two, CT does not have a liquor license, though they have a beer sign in the window, so Kansas law must allow beer to be sold where wine and liquor isn't. Anyway, I would have given up on this place, but when they brought out my wonton soup, it had fresh veggies in it. My eyes perked up--fresh veggies in the wonton soup is a good sign. The wonton itself was only okay--the skin was too thick and overpowered the meat inside. I ordered chicken with cashew--my benchmark dish at Chinese restaurants. I chose the stir-fried option over the deep fried, hoping to keep the meal on the healthy side. I was please when it arrived that again, it contained fresh veggies, inclduing fresh-cut bamboo, button mushrooms (not from a can), and lovely dark cashews. My boyfriend ordered the General Tso chicken, and we were both impressed with the delicious taste of fried chicken it might have even garnered the restaurant another star in my book. Bottom line: CT's makes good food, but the outdated decor, dirty seats/tables/windowsills, and the lack of liquor keep the place from upping its ante. I'd order from CT's again--but I'd order in.

When I lived in Baton Rouge there was this little Chinese restaurant I would frequent. It was as mediocre a place you could ever imagine, yet I would lunch there weekly. Twisted, huh? Well, I have found its sister restaurant right here in KC and it has brought a whole new meaning to the word mediocre. I didn't want it to be this way. I wanted it to be a great little find. My little Chinese cubbyhole where I could sip hot tea, slurp wonderful hot & sour soup and graze on a fabulously prepared assortment of foods offered on the buffet. Didn't happen. The hot & sour soup was neither. Everything, and I mean everything on the buffet was quite over cooked. No snap to the vegetables, no fluff to the rice, and no steamy al dente lo mien. Just clumps of 'stuff.' So why 2 stars? I loves me some Kimchi - fermented pickled cabbage. And there it was, tucked away in the back corner of the buffet table all by its lonesome. While this was not even close to the best I've ever had, it was a pleasant distraction from the rest of the meal. So, now I have a little mediocre Chinese restaurant I can call my own. And like touching a stove after being told it is hot, I will probably slide in there again. Can't help it.

the food was good and definitely authentic. the restaurant, however, was dirty. im not the one to complain about dirty restaurants b/c im a strong advocate of hole in the wall places that dont provide any decors or ambiance yet offers the best foods you will ever find . but one corner of china toms smelled like PISS!!! and no, it was not the smell of salted fish or stinky tofu. i know what authentic chinese food smells like and china tom definitely smelled of piss... for that reason i dont think i will ever return and will stick to fortune star for authentic chinese buffet on weekends

Weekend traditional buffet only.

Eh...cheap and simple. Not the cleanest place, not the dirtiest. Went for dinner and had general Tso's chicken. Good flavor and portions but meat quality not the best, the chicken was tough and rubbery. Don't think I'll come back to try the lunch buffet.

Yuck. That about sums it up. My expectations for Chinese buffets are low already, but I was promised authentic Chinese, no beef and broccoli, etc. The food was dismal at best, maybe going at 2pm should be a factor. Cold, dry, meh. And a word to the owners, clean up your place! No knob on the bathroom? Peeling paint? Come on, if you want business, make it appealing.

The weirdest thing just happened. I stopped to order take out. She charged me $1 extra for fried rice instead of steamed rice, then she gave me two FREE entrees just for ordering. Then she tells me that the two free entrees are left over from the lunch buffet (it's after 6pm now & they've been sitting in a box on the counter since then.) I really just wanted fried rice.couldn't you give me that for free instead?

This place is famous for its Saturday and Sunday lunch buffets. Many Chinese families travel far to this place for its traditional, authentic, hometown style Chinese buffet. They also serve couple Americanized dishes, maybe just to counter balance the exotic wonderfulness. If you are a true Chinese food connoisseur, go there during the weekend (11am to 2pm?) and march toward its buffet bar. This is a place you cannot miss. Btw, this place is not too far from The Plaza (cross the state line). So usually we will head towards Plaza after our big meal.

Obviously upon entering, this godawful place is filthy, smells, has an a/c issue, and keeps the lights off refusing to cut them on and or use ceiling fans. The food was horrible, I had to literally pick up the tab, so I didn't tip. I was so disgusted that I didn't enjoy the time spent there. On the way out I asked for a bag, and the waitress had the audacity to give me a fucking used and worn out plastic bag. I payed, left and immediately wrote this.
