Chinese Cafe of Salem

Over cooked food sometimes poor service the ladies are very rude. All your food goes on top of each other and it’s overpriced.

Old overpriced chicken. The worker legit dug all the way to the bottom of the serving dish to give me The little old crunchy bits and that’s it. Save your money or go to Charleys.

15-20 years ago this establishment was a 5/5. The food was great. The prices were very reasonable. Service was fast and friendly. They always overstuffed my to-go orders. Fast forward to 2018. For dishes primarily consisting of dirt cheap items at your local grocer rice, chicken, vegetables like corn/peas/lettuce they are EXTREMELY over-priced. I've watched as the containers gradually got smaller, and now the portions barely fill half of these small boxes. I remained a loyal customer for years as I've watched the employees grow. I just can't justify coming here any more when China Buffet is a buck more. I may stop by out of both nostalgia and hope that they've returned to their former glory. I understand rent increases. But when you're cutting back rice? The filler? Come on guys. Step it up or relocate. I'll follow you if you do. Until then, thank you very much for all the years of memories and I hope 2018 is wonderful to you.

Worker was very rude and didn’t want to give us a little container to put the Sriracha sauce on the side she insisted that we put it on the food. And was very rude about it. I would give zero starts if I could and to top it off the food didn’t taste fresh at all. Would not do it unless you want to pay for old and overpriced food.

We ordered the jalapeño spicy chicken with noodles and it was delicious. Not spicy but you could still taste the jalapeño flavor. We got our food really fast too. Pleased with the customer service.

This restaurant has the appeal of a quick tasty lunch- however they have a con set up with the workers. When I ordered a small plate clearly listed on the menu, I saw the server filling a HUGE plate of food. I corrected her to say I only wanted orange chicken w/ 1 side. She said "oh don't worry, this is one side." I repeated, "That is a LOT of food, are you sure it is just one side?" She again confirmed it was chicken w/ 1 side of chow mein....then proceeded to charge me double and said I ordered a full plate of chow mein. She argued with me incessantly, and stated they don't serve any plates with just one side. She refused to reduce the portion and give me a smaller amount of a lower price. I tried to leave without paying or taking the food, but she said I touched the tray and had to pay. Due to needing to get back to work ASAP and not wanting to cause a scene, I agreed to pay but will NEVER go there again and will warn everyone I know about this TERRIBLE lying restaurant. Not to mention, the food was disgusting.

If you eat here, I suggest watching what they're charging you. And if they over charge or add some made up fee, do not let them bully you into paying anyways. I refused to pay and will never go back.

No longer going to eat here. A hair was all twisted into my chicken I couldnt even pull it out. Disgusting.

Food is not bad. but ladys serving are very unfriendly

Great tasty food at a affordable price, nice staff
