Amazing food, good service! We've ordered quite a few times and they never failed us!

For many years, Cathay restaurant has been a go-to spot for Chinese food lovers. However, recent experiences have left some customers disappointed. Issues with delivery, bland flavors, and poor quality ingredients have led to some diners deciding to part ways with Cathay. Complaints about overcooked food and soggy vegetables have also been raised by dissatisfied customers. Despite these negative reviews, there are still some who have had fantastic meals at Cathay, praising the fresh and flavorful dishes, generous portions, and excellent service. Positive reviews highlighted the delicious open-ended egg rolls, combo deals, and a variety of tasty menu options. For those who have had a good experience at Cathay, it remains a reliable choice for Chinese cuisine. Whether you are looking for a quick pick-up or a convenient delivery, Cathay's menu offers a mix of traditional and modern dishes, catering to a range of tastes. Bo and his staff have received praise for their friendly demeanor and dedication to providing hot, fresh, and delicious food. In the end, Cathay restaurant seems to have mixed reviews, but for those who have had a positive experience, it continues to be a satisfying choice for Chinese cuisine.
