" I recently tried Luong China Cafe and was pleasantly surprised by the friendly service. The staff took the time to explain the menu, and my hot and sour soup was one of the better ones I've had in a while. However, the main course, a chicken stir-fry, lacked flavor. The freshness of the vegetables was evident, but I think a little more seasoning wouldn't hurt. Overall a decent experience, but the food could definitely improve in terms of flavor and authenticity.

" A hidden little gem in St. Maries! I appreciate the friendly staff and the cozy vibe of Luong China Cafe. The food has been hit or miss. Their beef with broccoli was fresh but needed a bit more seasoning to taste authentic. The atmosphere was truly inviting, with quick service making for a pleasant dining experience. I might come back again with hopes that I will find that satisfying authentic taste! " (*Curated Review*)
" If you want a comforting experience, Luong China Cafe might be worth a visit. The atmosphere has a quaint local feel, which I appreciated. The service was notably friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken and was pleasantly surprised at the freshness of the vegetables and their promptness in serving. However, the dish felt more Americanized than authentic. For a genuine Chinese food experience, I'd keep searching. Not bad, but not what I expected. " (*Curated Review*)
" Today I tried Luong China Cafe for the first time after hearing many mixed reviews. The ambiance was cozy and the staff was incredibly welcoming. I decided to order the chow mein which I found to be quite tasty; however, the rice was a different story. It lacked seasoning and felt overly greasy. I can't say it tasted like the authentic Chinese food I enjoyed during my travels. All in all, I will give this place another chance, as I believe first impressions can be misleading, but they really need to work on those flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
" I can't stress enough how wonderful the service was at Luong China Cafe! They made me feel right at home. The ambiance was quite cozy, perfect for a casual night out. I ordered their garlic shrimp and while it was cooked perfectly, the seasoning was shy. The portion was quite generous, but I would have loved a stronger flavor. Worth a visit if you enjoy a friendly atmosphere and fresh ingredients, but I recommend you adjust your flavor expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful little spot! I wasn't expecting much, but Luong China Cafe surprised me with its consistency and attention to detail. From the fresh veggies in my soup to the delicious almond chicken, each dish showcased good quality although I felt some items could use an authentic touch. Service was quick and attentive, and I particularly enjoyed the thoughtful approach towards accommodating dietary preferences. I will recommend it to friends for a cozy dinner night out, but with a caveat regarding the food's authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)
" I’ve always wanted to find a go-to Chinese spot in St. Maries, and I was hopeful about Luong China Cafe. I ordered the sweet and sour pork and expected a classic rendition. To my dismay, it felt like a less than stellar imitation. On the brighter side, the service was prompt, and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. While I appreciate the freshness in their ingredients, I really wish they would hit the mark on authenticity and flavors. I’ll have to try more items, fingers crossed for better results!
