Long River Chinese - Providence

The problem with this restaurant is that the taste of the food constantly changes now, I have been buying from Long River and their other restaurant for more than 14 years and it was always really clean and never had any issues with the quality of the food or its taste, but as of late the consistency of the rice is not always good, I like my rice grains to be separated I don't like mushy or clumpy rice, lo-mein and the beef or shrimp and broccoli sometimes is either too saucy(has too much) or too watery(has too little).Their fried chicken might be over fried or old that sometimes is hard at the edges and the white meat is dry, so is their roast pork, some pieces are nice and soft easy to chew and then others feel like they are 19 days old and mummified, I love jerky but those pieces are inedible and the sad part is that 65+ of the chicken or the pork are in that condition and the taste of their other items changes often, I guess it's either they have different chefs at different times or a quick turn around, also, the portions have gotten way too small and the prices are really up there I used to spend an average of $28 for a meal for 3 now I'm spending an easy $40+, I'm not totally giving up on it but I don't order as much as I did in the past and only when I feel lucky, I keep my fingers crossed on my drive home hoping that dinner is going to turn up well and that half of it does not wind up in the garbage, hope this helps you.Parking: They have their own parking it fits about 5 cars but it's a busy place during dinner hours but plenty of parking on the streetWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible, there is 1 step in order to go inside and you must open doors manually

I’m sorry but what happened.The rice is still amazing but the chicken changed.2 Years ago the chicken was amazing, now half the time it’s raw, but today my chicken had BLOOD on it YES BLOOD. Wasted 19 dollars just to spit out my food. Dont recommend unless you like blood on your chicken.

So comparable to the type of food you'd get at a mall. It was good. Edible. But definitely not gourmet Chinese food. Good if you are craving something quick and cheap.

I look forward to a return visit. this place has many good reviews for a reason.

The food was disappointing. However, the staff was exceptionally friendly. Unfortunately, we had to discard some dishes because they were simply inedible. The crab rangoons were overcooked to the point of being painful to bite into. The red sauce tasted like colored water, and the fried rice lacked flavor—it was just plain white rice. On a positive note, the wonton soup, dumplings, and lo mein were decent. The restaurant itself was clean, and they still maintain a shield between customers and staff.
