" I had high expectations for Bean Curd based on the reviews, but unfortunately, I left disappointed. The entrees I ordered tasted like they were pre-cooked and reheated, lacking freshness and flavor. Even the fried rice tasted greasy. While the atmosphere is charming and the decor nostalgic, the food fell flat. The service was fine, but even good service isn't enough to save a restaurant when the food isn’t up to par. Maybe my experience was just an off day for them, but it wasn't enough to make me want to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a mixed experience at Bean Curd. I wanted to love it because the place has been around for so long. The food is hit or miss—some dishes are fabulous while others seem to lack flavor. On my last visit, the chicken was not cooked properly and had a rubbery texture. The atmosphere is welcoming but could use a little tidying up. I would give it another try, as it can sometimes shine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Bean Curd was a delightful experience overall. The atmosphere had a traditional Chinese feel, and the decor was charmingly old-fashioned. I particularly enjoyed the hot and sour soup which had a perfect balance of spice and flavor. The staff was welcoming, and our dishes came out relatively quickly despite a busy dining room. My only critique would be the portion sizes; while still decent, I wish they were a bit more generous, especially for the price. Overall, I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a loyal customer since the 90s, and Bean Curd is like home to me! It's rare to find a local restaurant with such consistently good food. I usually get the sesame chicken along with some spring rolls. The flavors are authentic, and everything tastes fresh. The staff has always been friendly, but I've noticed it can vary on busy nights. I always recommend it to friends, and they end up loving it just as much. Here's to many more decades of Bean Curd! " (*Curated Review*)

" Through the years, I've watched Bean Curd's ups and downs, but my recent visit was one of their highs. The firecracker beef was downright delicious, perfectly spiced, and the rice complemented the dish well. I appreciated how fresh everything tasted, and the service had definitely improved! My only wish would be that they update the decor a bit to match the quality of the food. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone in the mood for great Chinese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Major letdown! After reading so much about how fantastic this place is, I expected the world. What I got was stale food served by indifferent staff. My shrimp fried rice was borderline inedible, and it felt like they just reheated leftovers. I really wanted a good meal, but this was not it. I won’t be returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I genuinely enjoy Bean Curd for its cozy atmosphere. Each time I visit, I’m greeted warmly, and the food is always prepared with care. The appetizers are a standout—the spring rolls are crispy and delicious! The entrees are solid, though once in a while, you might catch a dish that’s not quite up to par. Overall, a nice place to enjoy a meal as long as you know what to expect. " (*Curated Review*)
