I love the food at Chow’s. I am from New York and have been trying to find a good Chinese place for over two years and I found it! I had the Mongolian beef, and sesame chicken and both where as good as I remember back east.

I also think Chow’s is a bad fusion restaurant. I explicitly ordered silk road chicken because it was “lots of garlic”, and the peek a boo dumplings for the spicy sauce. The entree had no garlic flavor, not even garlic powder, and the dumplings were boring with a sweetened soy sauce that was not even a hint of spicy. Since this the second time eating here and not getting what the description is in terms of flavors, I won’t be going back. This is for the Juan Tabo location. P.S. the spicy chicken doesn’t have a sauce, it’s kinda good, but really dry!

If by Americanized you mean bland, then yes, Chow’s is Americanized. There are much better, more authentic places in town. This is a blow to the credit of Albuquerque taste buds.

Thanks for the tip, I live close to Rio Rancho and don’t really know what is worth going to out there.

I live in RR and I think that Double Dragon is the BEST straight up Chinese food out here. Heaven Dragon isn’t too bad either.
All those other places like Chow’s and PFChang/Pei Wei and Banana Leaf are great but they’re just not the real thing. They’re all fusion and I want just plain old East Coast Chinese sometimes. Check those two places out. They are WORTH it.

Thats true there are a lot and some that I consider better than Chows…China Luck, Pei Wei, etc. If you all aren’t going to review some others, I’ll just have to do it for you…lol. Do you accept submissions?

“As you can see, there are quite a lot of Chinese restaurants to choose from in Albuquerque.”
Yeah. I see ONE on your page.

I don’t know about the Orange chicken but the Orange beef is the best I’ve ever tasted. In fact, I’m not generally a fan of Chinese food but Chow’s is exceptional.
