" We stopped by Leong's on a whim while passing through Springfield and what a great decision it was! The Cashew Chicken lives up to the hype—crispy and just the right amount of sauce. Our server was friendly and efficient, making sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a family dinner. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very average experience at Leong's. The service was okay, but our server seemed to forget about us multiple times. The Cashew Chicken was decent but a bit overpriced compared to what we received. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant, but I think I'll explore other dining options on my next visit to Springfield. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had a meal at Leong's and while the Cashew Chicken was tasty, I found it to be too dry compared to what I'd hoped for. The food looked great, and service was friendly. I might return for a different dish but will be cautious about the chicken next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Leong's Asian Diner primarily to try the original Cashew Chicken. The experience was satisfactory, but not groundbreaking. The chicken was well-prepared but lacked enough sauce for my taste. The atmosphere was fine for casual dining. I felt that the portions were reasonable, though I expected larger servings based on the reviews. An okay choice, but I'll probably look elsewhere next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had higher expectations. The food was good but not exactly what I was hoping for. The Cashew Chicken had a great breading but missed the sauce I normally enjoy. The atmosphere is nice and the wait staff was friendly, but I think I could find similar dishes elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a great time at Leong's! The Dining experience was pleasant, and my kids loved the several options available. The Cashew Chicken wasn't just talk; it was a real treat!
