    You really can't find better Chinese restaurants in Lexington than Cheng's! This Clays Mill Rd. favorite has been around for years and never disappoints.

    The menu is your basic Chinese menu found in most restaurants done to perfection. The soups, sides and entrees are excellent. Some of my favorites are the Hot & Sour Soup, Moo Goo Gai Pan, General Tso's Chicken, and Beef & Broccoli. They also use a very special ingredient that sets them apart from your favorite bourbon chicken joint in the mall....REAL WHITE MEAT CHICKEN!!!

    I know what your saying....come on man....parts is parts! I want those unidentifiable chicken nugs that comes in a white plastic bucket! Sorry Grasshopper, you have come to the wrong place!

    The staff is very friendly and they even have a pick up window so you won't be tempted to wander in North Lime Donuts as you are leaving!

    Oh, who am I kidding...eat in and then get your damn donut! Hopefully they have the Bacon Maple when you visit...but that's for another time.

    I tried this place for lunch one day and it's one of my best finds!!! Started off with Crab Rangoon which was great.. and sooo hot, straight outta the fryer! Anyway, then we ordered vegetable egg rolls.. they were ok, as expected toooo much cabbage was used to fill them up.

    The main course was made up of beef with vegetables and rice + spicy beef steaks with fried rice (2 entrees) ... both were delicious with ample portions!

    This was the perrrfect lunch for a rainy Friday afternoon in Kentucky.

    Will definitely be going back!

    I'm kicking myself for waiting so long to try this place.  Tonight I got the chicken lo mein combination with fried rice, egg roll and egg drop soup.  Everything was wonderful, and it was under $10.  I'm not even mad about having to fight Lexington traffic to get home.  The drive-thru window was super convenient considering how hard it was raining.  I will definitely be back!!

    I read several good reviews of this restaurant, so visited them for a late lunch. The location is very accessible, with good parking. The decor and atmosphere in the dining room is nicely done, not fancy but good. The food and service here is above average, I do recommend going here, they do a excellent job.

    We visited Cheng's being so close to our neighborhood. A great reviewed Chinese spot! They stay busy in their driv thru we decided to eat in. The service was great--we got our food almost immediately. If you're short on time, this is a good spot to go. I ordered the veggie lo-mein and my husband got the General So's chicken with white rice which both were good. The chicken pieces were big so definitely enough food to split with someone else. I also tried the sweet and sour soup, it was nice for a cold night.

    Check it out if you're over in the Clays Mill area.
