Tong Fong Low - Oroville, California

Les Day

This past week, a group of six of us met at Tong Fong Low at 2051 Robinson St, Oroville, CA, for a lunch meeting. From the moment we arrived, we were promptly seated and attended to by the friendly and accommodating staff.

We ordered a variety of dishes, including the Special Chop Suey, Shrimp Chop Suey, Chicken Chow Mai Fun, and a bowl of each of their rice options. While we were initially busy and loud with conversation, everything changed as the food began to arrive — the table went quiet as everyone focused on enjoying the meal.

The food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. We all left with full tummies and smiles on our faces. I will definitely be back for another visit. If you're in the area and craving great Chinese food, this spot is a must-try!

Food is excellent. Full of flavor and very filling.

I never knew what the fuss was about this place, and I had been trying for years to fill the void left by Teriyaki Express and I finally found it. This really is the best Chinese restaurant in Oroville. I've never seen such a massive plate of food, and the food came out so fast and was actually high quality. Recommend this place 100%

BRING YOUR APPETITE! Visited Jan. 24th..see receipt. This place has massive portions! Tons of leftovers! It is located in Oroville California. Try the orange chicken with fried rice lunch special! All of the dishes are enough to share between 2 adults and still have leftovers! I am a petite lady so this is SO Much food! They are extremely quick and food is always consistent. Beer and wine. Takeout or dine in!

We went when they weren’t too busy at 7:30pm a group of 5 plus a baby makes half. We ordered too much, it was our first time here and they give you lots of food which is good! The food was superb! Would come again! We ordered too much guess our eyes were bigger than our stomachs haha!!! Lots of leftovers which is nice to have the next day! Highly recommend! Also the staff were really nice to us! 🙂

Tong Fong Low... what more needs to be said. I was a big fan when they had a restaurant in Chico, but due to COVID19 and family emergencies, it was shut down to concentrate on other matters. But in Oroville it's STILL going strong! Zero wait time to be seated, and the arrival of your food, served piping hot and fresh, was in a blink of an eye. Nothing has changed in service, taste, or portion sizes. Did we order too much...sure, only to ensure leftovers for lunch the next day. The flavors for every dish is outstanding, as is the portion size. I prefer to order ala cart, but the lunch and dinner specials are priced perfectly for 2-4 people. I will continue to drive from Chico for this establishment. They HAVE NEVER disappointed... so please, yet it once and you won't regret it.

We came for an overnight stay in orovilke after a full day hiking. We were hungry and very excited to try the food since it was well rated. We ordered three items. We are foodies and have had these dishes in many different restaurants all over Bay Area and in the world.
1) Salt and pepper ribs 3 star
wasn’t very flavorful but not bad. We’ve had better garlic flavor was not strong and it seemed like it was out of a premade chopped garlic salt and pepper part not strong. Portions were huge so that’s 4 stars
Overall 3.5stars
2) wonton soup 4stars
The wonton themselves were blah and very bland and the wrappers were terrible. However they topped it with a stir fry of meat snd veggies sautéed in a nice sauce. I’ve never had that before and unusual but delicious pairing. The wonton ehhh but the rest of it was delicious
3) mixed chow fun special was delish 4 stars
Noodles were decent semi fresh and the sauté and sauce was delish. (Same as what was on wonton soup)

We had large portions which was a plus and we were hungry and still had leftovers. But the quality is so so since we are used to really good Asian food in our area(and we can cook some of it better)

Seated right away. Staff was very friendly. We ordered cream cheese and crab wontons, chicken chow mein- no veggies for our kids, Mongolian beef and steamed rice, and kung pow chicken with extra heat and steamed rice. I was shocked at the pricing for this place, $20 per plate, the chicken chow mein was around $11 tho. But then the price made sense when these heaping plates came out within 5-10 minutes of ordering. But then again most Asian restaurants have very large servings, these were bigger than normal.

Food tasted good, the plain chicken chow mein was bland but nice and hot. The cream cheese and crab wontons were good, the sweet and sour sauce tasted weird tho, tangy with a bitter aftertaste. The Mongolian beef and Kung Pow chicken was delicious!

The reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is I was disappointed that I could not “upgrade” a beef chow mein to having the Mongolian beef. Any place I’ve ever been to join can have any flavoring choice of meat with your noodles. Here, you can’t. Plus the plates are very expensive so you’d have to choose or get both. Seems silly, but Its a commodity I really appreciate. Also I do wish they had half plates. These massive plates of food are borderline ridiculous.

Overall, I’ll go again, but I’d rather order one or two things for the whole family to pick up and eat at home than sit in the restaurant and everyone choose what they want. Just too expensive.
