What People Are Saying About Snow Pea Chinese Restaurant

In Short – A gilded wooden arch provides an ostentatious entrance for the hungry diner. Oversized Shijo wall lights, traditional Asian rice paintings and scroll art adorn the walls. The layout is spacious with comfortable seating throughout. The restaurant incorporates several ethnic dishes on one menu. Pork bulgogi, a Korean offering, is flavored with a stone-ground chili sauce and onions. There's basil shrimp, a Chinese staple and a sushi menu with garlic tuna and masago.

Tasty chinese food without the MSG
by danjh at Citysearch
This is our favorite chinese restaurant. The owner and staff are very friendly, and the food, service, and value are good. One of the great things about Snow Pea is they never use MSG, which my wife is allergic to. We've also found that too many oriental restaurants use MSG as a crutch, and those that don't tend to be better. We think that's true for Snow Pea - most of the food is very tasty without the MSG. The "snow pea favorites" are especially good. Some of our favorites are snow pea special garlic, cilantro scallops, basil shrimp, and hohng-yu vegetables. The old stand-bys like moo-sho pork, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, dumplings, and hot-and-sour soup are good too. The only thing we've ordered that we didn't like is snow pea special tofu. The quality is of their sushi is not quite up to a par with a place like Uchi, but then it's not priced like Uchi either. For a change of pace, we often order up a big platter of sushi and are very happy with it.

Not great for Chinese food
by ginnylovesfood at Citysearch
We have been here once and the staff was very friendly and service was fast. This is definitely not the place to go for authentic Chinese food. If you like Asian flavors its worth a try, but don't expect to see any Chinese families here.

Not what it used to be
by Victor15b at Citysearch
Quality of service and meals here has declined over the past year. I work close by and would frequently go to Snow Pea for lunch, but lately the staff has been less than courteous, and I think they started using cheaper ingredients. Alot of the menu items, especially the soups, have been pretty bland lately.
