"I thought Elko was the smallest town I 've ever visited in the US when I first stepped off the plane and exited the tiny airport building. I stayed in Elko for 2 nights but my work assignment actually took place in Carlin, which seemed like a ghost town upon my arrival. There were literally 3 or 4 restaurants in this town, and surprisingly one of them was Chinese. The only day it snowed in Carlin/Elko wasn 't my arrival day or departure day, but the one day I had to spend outdoors counting inventory. Coming from the tropical humid weather of Houston, I did not enjoy this snow that wasn 't even enough for me to build a snowman. So to warm ourselves up, the team unanimously chose the Chinese restaurant in hopes of finding some hot soup to rejuvenate our frozen souls. TBH I had my doubts regarding the authenticity of this Chinese restaurant, given diversity was basically non-existent in Elko/Carlin. But lo and behold the owner was actually a Chinese lady, and my faith was immediately restored. A lot of Americanized dishes like Mongolian Beef and General Tso 's Chicken on the menu (surprise surprise), but fortunately there was a wonton soup available. I went with the War version since I was pretty hungry. The War Wonton Soup had about 50 ingredients which made it a bit weird. Never had celery, cabbage, snow peas, shrimp, and chicken with my wontons before lol. But the soup was hot and flavorful, and the wontons were pretty genuine. #269"

The food was quite dry and lacked flavor, which was disappointing. I ordered takeout, and I’d rate the food a 3 out of 5. The service was good, earning a 4 out of 5, and the atmosphere also scored a 4 out of 5. I would recommend trying the Sweet and Sour Chicken. Overall, I felt let down by the meal. Price per person was around $10–20.

This restaurant is quite good for a small town. It's operated by an elderly couple, so you shouldn't expect super fast service. They could use some extra help, but the food is surprisingly tasty, and they are very friendly. As for accessibility, there is a wheelchair ramp available, but I did not notice any automatic doors. I ordered takeout for lunch.

Like many others don't judge a book by the cover. I've lived in San Francisco and this place is better than 90% of Chinese restaurants there. It was the perfect spot on our road trip across America. The owner was hilarious and the locals were so nice. We had the Szechuan Beef, Kung Paso Chicken and House Fried Rice. The highlight was the BBQ Pork. Might be the best I've ever had. It's worth the stop. View menu

I'm really not sure how this restaurant managed to stay open after the pandemic. I thought I had experienced the worst Chinese food in the world about 30 years ago, but I was wrong! After just a few bites, we decided to leave. I've never walked out of a restaurant before or since, and I travel a lot. For some reason, it seems like Yelpers in central Nevada may not have a true sense of taste. Just a heads-up to potential diners: your best bet on I-80 might actually be McDonald's, and I'm not usually a fan of fast food.
Elko
Great food, however, the sesame chicken I was confused looked more like orange chicken with sesame seeds on top. I'm used to sesame chicken being a breast with sauce and sesame noodles. Otherwise, I love the food here. Potsickers are good. I just wish they didn't look like mini postickers. Hot Tea is a good drink to order here when you dine in. I do wish they had Shrimp Sizzling Rice Soup not seafood Sizzling Rice Soup as I'm not a fan of crab in my soup. Service is great. Everyone is so helpful and spot on. I do wish they did better at bringing everything to the table at once, especially when dining with others. Lunch combination is the way to go a great amount of food for the price. My onl...
