Long Life Vegi House

By far the best Americanized Chinese food that I have had in Salt Lake. Ordered takeout and everything was packaged very well and clean. Even included a piece of cardboard in the bottom of the bag to keep all the containers from tipping. Included hot mustard, 2 dipping sauces for the potstickers, as well as sweet and sour sauce and a couple packets of soy sauce. Everything was delicious. I ordered kung pao veg chicken, which could have been spicier. Still the best tasting kung pao chicken I've had. The hot and soup was also delicious and I'm generous portions. My wife loved the sesame veg chicken. The spring rolls were freaking awesome. 3-8-19 edit* Ordered again, asking that the Kung Pao beef spicier this time. It is nice and spicy, and even better than the first time. This is now my new go to, and not just because of all the vegetarian options. Nothing was too saucy or messy or over spiced with random seasonings like so many of the Chinese dishes around town.

Very, very rarely do I not finish my plate. Especially when eating out and spending that hard earned $. But I could NOT finish my food from this joint, couldn't even stomache half of it - it was that bad. Ordered vegi orange chicken and vegi beef lo mein close to their closing. The orange chicken wasn't crispy - but tasted like it was old leftovers fried a second time, with this stale chewiness that wasn't pleasant at all. And the noodles were just as awful - the only flavor likely cheap soy sauce and MSG. I didn't want to write a bad review because the owner seemed friendly - but the food was that bad it had to be said, and may he care to cook better quality food in the future, and not the nastiest, grossest, cheapest quality takeout possible. Yuck!

This place has been my whole family's favorite place for 15+ years. They really never disappoint. 10/10 will always recommend. ???????? Vegetarian options: Vegetarian sesame chicken is delicious. ???? Kid-friendliness: My brother is picky and doesn't like any sauces so I just ask for veggie chicken with sauce on the side.
