The lemon chicken portion was generous, the icing on the top part very soft, colorful, tasty and fragrant. The lemon chicken portion was generous, the icing on the top part very soft, colorful, tasty and fragrant.
My favourite restaurant $$$. I am a Chinese and have dined in this restaurant numerous times. I read some of the reviews, some very positive and some very negative and felt that I need to post something to clear the confusion.
Cynthia's is not an ordinary "Chow mein style Chinese" restaurant you'll find in a corner plaza. Because it is situated in such a place, diners probably thought it is and therefore get pleasant or unpleasant surprise. If you are into authentic Chinese food, this is the place to go. If you are into just a quick meal of chop suey, fried noodle, fried rice and chicken balls, you will be paying far too much for this kind of food.
Almost all upscale restaurants charged extra to serve the Birthday Cake you bring. This is similar to corking fees a restaurant will charge if you bring in your own booze. If you order a birthday cake here, it will cost you $40 + tips.
This restaurant does not add MSG to their food. Some diners may find their food "tasteless" if they are used to MSG laden food served in other Chinese restaurants.
Deep Fried Wanton never ever contains meat. If you want meat, order the pan fried dumplings.
I do agree that this place is a lot more expensive than other run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurants. But for that special evening, this is the place to go for very good authentic Chinese food. Funky Thai and Sushi Hour are not in the same league so you cannot compare the pricing and the food.
If you pay cash, you'll get 10% worth of coupon for you to use in your next visit.
They have live music every Thursday evening.
We celebrated my mom and dad's 41st wedding anniversary at Cynthia's Chinese Fine Dining. The food and service is excellent. They even sang to my parents for the event. They made it memorable.
