Cheng's is by far the best Chinese food

[lightworker888]

available in TV. I am Chinese and I am always looking for good authentic Cantonese food, which is the style I grew up with. We have gone to all the buffets around the area and the various take outs. I love a good buffet and there was one in Macon, but closer to TV I recommend Cheng's. We had the Peking Duck (which we called ahead -15 min- for) and it was really tasty. Also had the vegetable lo-mein. Have eaten there before and have always had a good meal.

Have also eaten at Bamboo Bistro which was good but I prefer the Thai fusion style there. Wish there was a good buffet in TV.

Where is Cheng's located?

4050 Wedgewood Lane
Pass Southern Trace Plaza & Crispers going West on CR 466

In the small strip plaza on the north side of CR 466
In front of the "new" Walmart
Close to McDonalds Golden Arches
Next door to a Nail Salon

(Sorry, my husband says I give directions like a girl)

Definitely the best as far as quality of food. Also, it's nice to be served. Complete carry out menu with half portions. A hint: if you want more meat or shrimp just say less vegetables.

Do you know if they are MSG free??? or if one can get dishes prepared wiithout MSG?

I have not had Chinese in TV because of the MSG issue...can't find a Chinese restaurant which could assure me no MSG.

I get violently ill if I partake.

Barefoot, your directions are very clear.

I think your directions are SUPER. Now I know exactly where it is.

I agree Cheng's is the best around. Eaten there several times and the food has always been good.

Could you be more specific - I'm new! :) :)

yo-Russ If the avatar is accurate, I guess new is relative. By the way, did you see that Bob Kraft is entertaining Steve Wynn this weekend??

Didn't mean new to the world - I've lost a few more follicles since that pic!

Patriot Place is very close to my old house but I would have been very much in favor of it (i.e. 1 of 3 casinos to be build in MA). (Of course to be fair by son works for Mohegan and may be able to move back to MA if they put it in).

Bamboo Bistro is all MSG free!

Ordered take-out from Cheng's last night. Shrimp with Black Bean Sauce was excellent. We ordered it spicy. Will definitely be going back.

Same here.....went to a Chinese restaurant a few weeks ago in TV to hopefully pick up some carry out. (can't remember name of...only that it was next to hair salon in strip center) Asked if they had MSG. Girl at front said "absolutely none". She then brought out the container of Chicken base they use for a great deal of offerings.....guess what? Yup... monosodium glutamate. If anyone knows of a place msg free...please pass it along.

Bamboo Bistro adds no MSG to any of their dishes!

[lightworker888]

My husband and I are both MSG sensitive and do our best to avoid it. When a restaurant says it is MSG free, what usually is meant is that they do not add any msg to the dishes. However it is almost impossible to have no msg in any food, particularly if a chicken or meat base is used for a sauce or a soup. If you stick with veggie type dishes and seafood, you are pretty safe and even if there is a little in the sauce I find that the restaurants that say No MSG are conscious about the amount of commercial sauces in their dishes. At home I use oyster sauce a lot and I'm sure it is not totally MSG free. There are so many other names for MSG that I can't keep up with them all. All I know is that at Cheng's I have never had a reaction to anything that I ate and it all tasted great. I always order everything MSG free no matter which Asian restaurant I go to.

Another vote for Cheng's - both eat in, and take out. The best we've had in the area. Not sensitive to MSG, so I really don't know if they use it or not.
