Really good for a quick dinner! I have been eating here for several years. Mandarin chicken is a go to for me! The mandarin gravy is excellent. I also tried the hot and sour soup for the first time today and absolutely loved it. Best hot and sour soup around. The fried rice here is just ok. Definitely prefer the rice at other places but the other parts of the meal make up for it.
It is a little pricey compared to other Chinese restaurants around here when you take into consideration the portion sizes, but is still a decent price for the combination dinner plates. -

First time customer: was very clean waitress could not understand the conversations so older member came by to help out.
The only compliant is: Cathay did not have cloth napkins.
Very tasty food. They cook to your taste!!!! -

We were craving Chinese for lunch. Since I had to go to Sam's on Airline I thought we would try Cathay Inn out since it was close. We ordered takeout. My husband got the general's chicken combo plate, my 8 year old ordered the general's chicken with no sauce, and I got the hot garlic chicken.
I'm pretty impressed! Food, including the veggies in my hot garlic chicken, is very fresh. Sauce has a nice flavor. Rice also very good. Egg roll is good too, although not my very favorite. Also, it was very reasonably priced at $30 total. Interior was clean which was a plus.
This may be our new Chinese takeout joint! -

This was my husband and I's first trip to Cathay. I got the boneless chicken plate and he got the mandarin chicken plate. The food tasted good. But I had two issues. The first one is, that compared to similar restaurants while the prices are similar, the portions were quite a bit smaller. Second, I asked for a side of the red sweet sauce, and it was $2.00. I asked why the small cup of sauce cost $2, which seems like a lot. She seemed aggravated by my question. She said that anything extra, they have to cook special. While I feel doubtful that the sauce had to be made from scratch just for me, I paid the $2. Overall, it was good but there are many restaurants that have better food, bigger portions and are happy to give you extra sauce for little to no charge.
