Joe Chan's Bistro

"Ordered 2 bowls of ramen. Asked for additional char siu. Naruto fish cakes. Green onion. Simple enough. Got a bowl of pretty much instant ramen with sliced ham and some edamame in weak broth. My girlfriend and I asked to send it back as it was definitely not good. Instead I get attitude and some old Grey haired woman having a temper tantrum and starts arguing with us. Even tried saying it was great ramen, made by real Japanese people. Asked for the check and left. Still cost almost 30 bucks for a drink, kids cheeseburger with a handful of fries and an order of crab rangoons. Definitely will never return here again."

"My expectations going in were not high. Apparently, I was expecting too much. We placed an order in advance so it would be ready for pickup by the time we arrived in Muskegon. At most places, they usually have it ready a little early to make sure it’s ready to go. We got there about 15 minutes before and when we asked about it, we were told “oh you placed it online, so it isn’t in the system yet.” We waited and never heard back. Then about 10 minutes after our pickup time, someone arrived for their shift and asked us if we could be helped. After we explained, she made sure the kitchen was on it. We took the food to our family and were underwhelmed. The crab rangoons were all crammed into a folding takeout box, where most places will put them in a larger container so they don’t get crushed. I ordered a General Tso’s combo because that’s a pretty standard dish that’s usually consistent. Most places will fry up the chicken and then coat the nuggets so they get a glaze. Not here: they very clearly just spooned sauce over the top and called it a day. I normally don’t comment on prices, but for $13 a plate, I would expect a bit higher quality. You can do better than that over in Grand Rapids at any number of comparable places for the same price."

"Ordered egg rolls nothing special. Ordered a large egg foo young I really wish I would have gotten the gravy on the side. Egg foo young had plenty of shrimp and was good. The gravy was a salt lick no flavor all salt. I wiped off the gravy. My date ordered Mongolian beef she said that might have Well ordered candy. I tasted it and it was very sweet I remember Mongolian beef is a little spicy. I heard Joe retired about a year ago. The last time I ate here the food was really good and that was probably two or three years ago. Times of got to be hard when your seasonings are salt and sugar. The pork fried rice had pieces of chicken, go figure.Sad, I want there during dinner time and the place was empty"

"We both got combination plates for dinner. I got the Orange Chicken, and my wife had the Sweet and Sour Shrimp. We both felt the breading was too thick and we could not taste the protien. The crab rangoon was nice and fat with plenty of filling. The wait staff was fine and the atmosphere was also okay."

"This restaurant has a good atmosphere that is relaxed with dim lighting to set a good vibe throughout. The food was great. I had the servers recommended steak dish with the oyster sauce that was a 10 out of 10. Two of the kids had the sweet and sour chicken and my other two kids had a hotdog with white rice that they specially requested. The server was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. The cook came out of the back and said hi to the kids and he gave them candy as we walked out the door! Great staff here and great business all around."
