China Pacific - Lakeway

Their menu does not have any descriptions, so I had to call and ask about different items and yet I still didn't get what I wanted.... I was recommended here, but most likely will not return. What a shame.

First time coming here and I hope this is just some random occurrence. Ordered the cashew chicken, apparently that means a pound of water chestnuts or jicama not really sure what this is but there was sooooo much of it. I even ate a bunch of it. I'll be skeptical of my next to go order.

Quick, hot and delicious. Chicken Majestic very basic dish but crisp chicken and tasty brown sauce!

It won 't allow zero stars. Have lived in Lakeway since '96 and have regularly ordered from CP all those years. Was always good and tasty. However, about 3-4 years ago there seemed to be a change in staff, etc. (new owner? and quality quickly began going downhill. Went from only average to just straight up bad. Kept giving it a chance in hopes old CP would reappear. Several weeks ago ordered 1 beef dish and 2 chicken dishes. Beef was very bland and veggies were like eating paste. The chicken dishes both tasted odd. Should have paid attention to that red flag. Me and the other person ate chicken and next morning both had cramps and diarrhea all day (no we did not have COVID . Beef did not get sick. Can 't go by there now without feeling queasy. Never again! Truly a disappointing bummer that an icon was dragged down by corner cutting and not sweating the details.

LOVE THE FOOD! Fried chicken is 11/10, fried rice is amazing, and the service is great too. Best chinese food restaurant I have ever been to so far. Try it. Please.
