Fastest food to make me sick, longest wait for delivery. Dont eat this food. Coming from a person who can occasionally appreciate "bad-good" Chinese takeout, this is by leaps and bounds the worst Ive had. We ordered the combo that includes mongolian beef, pot stickers, pork fried rice, and soup and added an order of crab rangoon. The restaurant itself is 1.1mi away from my apartment, and I was quoted a 25min wait time on delivery. We waited a full hour before the food arrived as such: -"Pot stickers" in the combo description actually meant a singular lukewarm, dried-up, flavorless wonton -the soup, which we chose hot & sour, had the texture of a thick sauce, as though it was full of cornstarch... one spoonful was enough to make me toss it out -the crab rangoon was clearly a frozen product thrown directly into a deep-fryer, which is in some cases to be expected, but given that, they were chewy and the centers were not fully cooked- inedible -the mongolian beef was scary- lukewarm and limp, doused in a sauce that had the same cornstarch-laden gooey texture as the soup- we each tasted and then skipped it altogether. By the time you rule out all of those items, the meal consisted of pork fried rice, which was consistent with my normal expectations for delivery Chinese food, and the "steamed" vegetables that were buried under the mongolian beef. Once I was able to rub most of the starchy sauce off, the vegetables looked and tasted normal. I am now left with a terrible stomachache, which I can attribute 100% to this food. Let it be known that this is the first time I have felt compelled to write a google review, and that I feel cheated out of $22.

Dont expect much when you come here - its not the worst chinese food/experience Ive had, but its definitely not one of the better ones. The service is pretty bad - the gal never gave me even a glass of water until I asked for it - 20 minutes into my lunch. The environment was okay...a little musty-smell going on, but it was clean for the most part. The food is mediocre - I had the almond chicken; the sauce was decent, the chicken was okay, but it was about 5 bites worth and I was done. It came slopped with a bunch of steamed/oily vegetables that ruined the taste of everything else. Best part was the Egg Drop soup - it was actually the best Ive had in the last few years, which was almost funny since everything else was off. If you want something quick, cheap and dont have high standards - give it a try.

Ive only eaten in the restaurant once while waiting for a show at the Showbox. The first time I had the barbecue pork appetizer and beef and broccoli - both were delicious. I was happy to learn that they deliver all the way to W.Seattle and have ordered several times since. I normally get the bbq pork, beef and broccoli, pork fried rice and general tsaos chicken. Today I added the mushu pork to my order and am really excited to see if its as good as the other dishes Ive tried. I have never been disappointed with their food or service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. The price is also pretty fair compared to other Chinese restaurants in the Seattle area.

The chow mein noodles were undercooked and had a nasty aftertaste that grew on you as you ate until by the end of the meal they were practically inedible. My Kung Pao chicken tasted like turkey. Terrible quality of meat. My wifes egg roll came with no meat in it and mine came with so much pork it was ridiculous. They brought out ketchup to eat the egg rolls with. Who serves ketchup in a Chinese restaurant!?! The only good thing was the hot and sour soup, which, although not impressive, was at least good enough to finish. Most of the rest of the food remained on our plates. This was a huge waste of time and money. Yuck.

THE AWESOMES: The best chicken wings in the city, without a doubt. The five shanks beef appetizer is absolutely amazing! I love their soups. The customer service has been good for me! they remember my information! PROBLEMS: * the appetizer combination platter ONLY has meat- maybe spring roll with veggies of a potsticker with veggies would help? * their beef skewers are always overcooked and dry. * they sent me mushu pork recently that had NOTHING but cabbage- o pork- because they misunderstood me on the phone...

Id probably give this no stars. After reading a few good reviews we ordered to go and it was terrible. Worst $45 Chinese food weve had downtown by far. Spring rolls were tiny and not good, honey walnut prawns not good either, bbq pork fried rice wasnt like a good fried rice, and ghangis khan platter was awful. Very disappointed and not worth going to it. Threw it away and ate Cheesecake Factory. Same price and worth every penny. I cant believe the good reviews. I think they were put on by employees. Yuck.

Im with Dan O. Im from Boston and this was not good. It wasnt bad but not something I would go back to. There was a cook in front smoking like a chimney which trailed into the restaraunt. The place look like someone had recently be attacked in there. It was like being in a back alley Chinese restaraunt from a movie. The waitress was nice. Yet, It seemed to get quickly annoyed because we didnt order within a few minutes of being handed a menu.

This is precisely the sort of Chinese food you dream about when youre, uh, in the throes of the munchies. Its pretty close to Americanized foreign cuisine as it can get while still being a pretty solid choice. If youre looking for hardcore authenticity, hit the ID -- this place is conventiently located near Tourist Central. The bright side is, they do work with Grubhub and Eat24 to get your goodies delivered. Dont forget to snag an egg roll.

Went there at the wrong time - the band playing next door at Showbox made it difficult to have a conversation. The Genghis Khan Platter was a decent appetizer with a good variety of meats. The Genghis Khan chow mein was little more than noodles. The Happy Family was pretty good - lots of veg, chicken and shrimps. The dinner plates and table both seemed like they hadnt been thoroughly cleaned.

Were im from(Boston) this would not be considered Chinese food. I got the General tso Chicken and it was basically fried chicken fingers with crushed red peppers. The noodle soup was like Romon noodles and very skimpy on beef and shrimp. Total price $24. The price and quality is a joke. The owners should take a trip to Chinatown in Boston and see what real Chinese food looks and tastes like ✌

Ive been ordering here for nearly 2 years. The food is always steamy,fresh and seasoned well but not over or under cooked. Its hard to achieve that consistently with meats seafood and vegetables all at once but Genghis Khan has done it! I would recommend this place to anyone. Prices are reasonable in comparison to places in the vicinity and the quality is top notch.

I had a beef and mixed vegetables dish along with white rice. The portion size was very plentiful and the dish was spicy and delicious. I think the dish could be split among two people with their own rice and a small appetizer. The price if eating alone is about 14 bucks with tip. I feel as a couple or group it would be very reasonable. Ill go back for sure
