I liked Maison Liang for years. It was good, fresh & you got a good amount of variety & food it was such a good experience alone or with company. The drawback is how expensive it is now. The lunch specials at cheaper prices are small. The whole point of Chinese takeout is quality, variety & qty of food with extras like chopsticks & a fortune cookie
I like the food except for very high salt & MSG. It is just too much for fast food everyday lunch or dinner. Average $19 special for variety with common sides. You don't get a fortune cookie, utensils, chopsticks, extra sauces, napkins with an order. The size of containers changed to half size for more expensive. There is added charges for everything. You can only modify a special with extra charges which changes nothing for the cooks, it's part of customer service to serve customers & take the orders to fullfill. Sometimes they listen if you beg for no salt added & no msg if you order for $50 minimum. But the last time I ordered for around $40 & they did not listen, & I got sick for 7 entire days of hell. I could not cope. I am allergic to MSG & intolerant to salt, & sadly they added it & I got very very ill. I can no longer order because they did not take it seriously sadly which surprised me because other times they listened. Back to making my own Chinese food at home & not enjoy any takeout. If only they took it seriously, I could chance ordering weekly. But I lost trust from last time. Not after what I went through. They need to understand most ppl don't smoke so they don't need such high sodium ( the rice is so salty its crazy), & nobody needs MSG. & ppl really have an allergy to synthetic MSG which is much more elevated in synthetic salt than naturally occurring. If you have smokers for cooks any restaurant is screwed from over salting food. Smokers have dead tastebuds. It's a bad investment for employers. Ppl can add their own salt & don't need MSG or so much salt to enjoy food. The veggie sides are blander & so much better you can taste the vegetables. I like the chow mein & any veggie sides with sprouts. You don't need all that crazy salt. If they listened to customers it would restore trust. Ppl can add their soy sauce no need to make everything salty. Especially when there are other choices available to order from. Keep customers happy or lose business. Go back to the way you were. Use less & it is more. Customers can add their own extra soy sauce if they want.

Large portions. I was very surprised with the size. Expect to bring some food home. Enjoyed the chicken soo guy very much. Sometimes you just want something simple done right. More people picked up takeout while we were there so it looked dead inside but was actually quite busy.
