Evergreen Restaurant

I am very disappointed in the quality of food lately at Evergreen. This place used to be our favorite Chinese resturant in the area, but there has been a major change of late. The last 2 times I ordered the beef in my food was stringy and chewy not tender. Today we ordered the Pu Pu platter and the teriyaki beef was so bad it was in eatable. The crab wonton was flat and not shaped and had barely any filling. After 3 major misses, we are no longer patrons. We will be finding other options.

This is the kind of place that stays in business only because of lack of alternatives. If a proper Chinese/​Thai restaurant opened in Inwood, this place would vanish overnight.
The fried rice is greasy and saturated in oil, the General Tso’s are swimming in a corn syrup sauce with over-​breaded and soggy chicken chunks.
The only things not offensive to eat are the Wonton soup and Egg Drop soup. Do yourself a solid and check out China Kitchen of Shepherdstown, Finn Thai of Martinsburg, or my favorite Chopstick Café of Winchester.

It seems something critical has changed. It must have been the cook because the food tastes different. The good quality and taste has gone down at this location.

We get food from here a lot! Always quick service and great food! Crab Rangoon and Cashew Chicken are always my favorites! I’ve gotten other things, though, and liked them just as much! For Inwood, it’s pretty good! =)

Not bad for takeout Chinese food we have always been pleased with everything they have given us. You do have to be careful sometimes they do get an order wrong instead of general Tao shrimp they give you general Tao chicken.

Tasteless at best.

I stopped by this restaurant with my friend during a visit to inwood because he had strongly suggested this place. To my astonishment, the food was better than I had expected. The shrimp in my shrimp lo mein was deveined and tasted better than everywhere else that I had tried in the past. Definitely will be back for more the next time I am in the inwood area.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in the Inwood area. Conveniently located off of Middleway pike. The food was always good and the service was always nice and prompt. I especially like their triple delight and general tso’s chicken.

I’m not a complainer, I’m slow to anger, but a situation with a takeout order from Evergreen that I was party to just last night makes me want to speak out because I’m disturbed and perturbed by how Evergreen dealt with an incorrect takeout order.
I was given the wrong takeout order last night after work. No sweat these things happen. I realized the mistake once I looked in the bag, about 10 minutes after I got home from work/​picking the order up. Should I have looked to see if I got the right order? Yeah, probably, but we’ve all had days we’re just barely slogging through and just want to go home and veg out. I notice they’ve called my phone, I call them back… and they ask me to bring back the incorrect order.
Let me repeat that in a new paragraph to let it sink in:
I was asked to bring back the food that they incorrectly gave me.
And not just that, when I arrived, it was swiftly placed back on the «ready to go orders» counter space like nothing had happened.
(And outside of the fact that that’s kind of sort of a health code concern, there’s also the fact that I was offered no discount of any kind for having to use my gas and time to drive back so they could correct their mistake… but I suppose that pales in comparison, yeah?)
So, take this as a word of warning, and I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t personally dealt with the situation, but I won’t be eating at Evergreen ever again and I made sure to let my workplace (which isn’t too far down the road from the place) know about this concern, too.

I ordered take out this evening for myself and my husband and we were both severely disappointed in our food choices. I had the Kung Pao chicken and my husband had the Seafood Delight. The seafood delight was terrible and my husband (who eats MRE’s voluntarily) had to throw it out. It wasn’t so much seafood as it was fake, gelatinous, smelly seafood substitute in a snot like sauce mixed with vegetables. It smelled horrible. My Kung pao was edible at least, but it was lacking in chicken and most of it was every day household vegetables– carrots, celery and green pepper.
We tried the egg rolls and they just tasted like cabbage and were terribly soggy. We were astounded that even the fortune cookies were stale.
We won’t be returning to this restaurant and the next time we want Chinese, I will be making it myself and sparing the extra expense for a less superior food.

This is a small place with about four tables and is mostly carryout: clue, lunch is presented in foam carry out boxes (see pictures). 4* for overall quality and value.
Lunch specials are $ 4.95 (all) which include choice of entrée, steamed or fried rice, and egg roll, spring roll, or crab rangoon (2 large pieces).
On the luncheon menu (11 AM to 3 PM), there are about 30 choices, but make that ~50 because for Hunan – for example– it’s listed as Hunan beef/​chicken/​shrimp. Same for Kung Pao, etc.
Dinner combination plates are similar at about $ 6.95−7.50. The dinner menu is typical, but they have scallops ($ 9.95 several varieties), and a few other items not on the lunch menu, like Mu Shu (meat/​shrimp). They also have a dozen «Chef’s Specialties.»
I had the Hunan Shrimp. I was pleased, as there were about 10 shrimp in the lunch portion, when usually you see about 5 – 6. Same for my wife’s shrimp and lobster sauce. My dish had nicely sauteed crunchy fresh veggies. The Hunan «spice» was nicely peppered, but not overpowering to cause me reflux. I had the fried rice, wife had the steamed rice. Egg Roll was average, Crab Rangoon was excellent.
The dining area is small, but decent enough – we ate in.
The luncheon menu is the cheapest around and with the choices available, you do much better than fast food.

This place is a lot better than the other chineses resturants around. The food is great.

It’s a typical strip mall Chinese resturant. Same bland greasy offerings you can get at all of them.

Horrible food!!! The last time I went there I ordered a Egg Drop soup and it tasted like some kind of chemical. The time before that I ordered chicken wings and every other piece smelled and tasted very old. I have never had such inconsistent chineese food ever!!! This place needs to be seriously shut down before someone gets very sick.
