Cheng's Asian Restaurant Lakewood

when i walked in the restaurant was nearly empty but i had seen such good reviews i stayed, i am glad i did. i knew i wanted to try the spicy Cheng's chicken wings but wasn't sure what else so i asked the server for a recommendation. she asked if i like spicy and when i said yes she recommended the crispy chili beef. both the appetizer and the main course came out at the same time which was odd but that is my only complaint. the wings were crispy and delicious although not very spicy there were jalapeños cooked with the wings that i could have ate to add more spice. the beef was also delightful, a little spicier with no real sauce. i actually added the leftover onions from the wings to the beef. everything was delicious and i will definitely be back.

My family and I went there for dinner (5:30pm on a Wednesday). It was quiet, but not dead. I assume the lack of a line around the corner is because they are brand new. It certainly isn't due to the quality of the food or the outstanding service 😉. Wow! The gentleman who was our server was amazing. He shared with us the story about the reconstruction of the restaurant. It was a neat story about all the work that went into it. The time and effort it took to launch was daunting but you can tell he was proud and that is a beautiful thing. The food was awesome! My son had sweet/sour chicken, my husband had the beef/broccoli, and I had the vegetable delight. How they could make such basic recipes shine is a stroke of genius 🎉. We inquired about the tea and how they made it. Not only did I receive some tips and tricks, but I was also given some of the dried tea leaves to take home and try it myself!! Please try this place. You will NOT be sorry you did. (To whom it concerns: I was assured they are in the process of getting access to deliver on JBLM. As of now, they can deliver to the gate, though).
