eC’s Asian Station

I was traveling through Grand Junction for a night and had a craving for Chinese food. I searched through Unilocal and found this gem. It’s amazing. It’s everything I was looking for. My husband ordered general tsao’s chicken and it was the best either of us had in so long! It was the perfect texture. It wasn’t soaking in sauce and mushy, nor was tough or hard to chew. It was served with a generous portion of rice. I ordered the sampler appetizer platter and it was also phenomenal. The crab and shrimp stuffed egg rolls were SO GOOD. Nothing like that slightly fishy tasting mush that is usually in there. I like to consider myself a potsticker connoisseur and I fell in love with the ones here. I seriously thought about not sharing these with my husband they were so tasty. Next time I’m passing through Grand Junction this will definitely be a destination.

This is some of the best food, that is all homemade and well prepared! Sometimes it may take a little longer! But WELL worth the wait! Delicious food!

Great service! So attentive and interested in our comfort. Food really good — unique flavors, no msg and not just boring Chinese food. Mine was strong of garlic and cilantro with just enough heat. My friend had sweet & sour— looked fresh & he said it was delicious. In a sea of Chinese places this one stands out!

Other then the long wait time this place has some of the best Chinese food I have had in this town! The staff is always friendly food is always good.

Meh. I cannot see myself walking back into this place again. First, the décor inside is not great. Second, the place has Chinese Fusion on their sign. Adding a few strips of cucumber to traditional sesame chicken is not fusion. Finally, the service is painfully slow. There was 3 tables with people when I went in. There were 3 different servers. Yet it was difficult to find one of them unless you stood up. I had no silverware when the food came out and the soup spoon clearly had been dropped in the vat of soup. It was slimy and gross. It took a little longer than I expected to get the main dish however not too bad. The food tasted fine. Nothing special as compared to any other Chinese food in town. Then it took a really long time to see the check. Good prices and they refilled my water.

Ok I realize restaurants have minimums but this one takes the cake. I called to order delivery they have a $ 15.00 minimum plus tax. I was at 14.95 they would not deliver. I offered them the .5 cents. Not only have they lost a potential customer but they have earned a terrible review for customer service and a bad business decision!

Fantastic food! We got the egg drop soup, both spring and egg rolls, teriyaki chicken and crunchy Sesame chicken and it was all amazing! Quick service, happy server, and delicious food… we will be back!

If you can get past the mediocre service, extremely long wait and an rather drab and uninviting atmosphere you will be delighted with the best Chinese food around! Fresh, tasty and artfully crafted, it’s unfortunate that the owners and chef don’t take the same care and expertise in the service and atmosphere that they do with the food! Take out is always an option but don’t be in a hurry! They only get the 4 stars because you will want to bathe in the absolutely delicious food you are served. Go with an open mind and a clear schedule and you’ll be very happy!

What a great place to eat Asian food. Susan was so helpful in our deciding what to eat. Yummy. I had Kung pao trio and hot and sour soup oh so good. Husband had spring rolls and mushroom, chicken and garlic fusion also very good. So if your in the area please stop here to eat.

I was craving Chinese food and decided it was time to try eC’s. Good choice.
I followed Joan S’s recommendation and ordered the beef tenderloin with baby bok choi. Almost didn’t because it was so pricey. But she made it sound so good. And it was. The beef was unbelievably tender. The sauce was slightly sweet, but also very savory. There was plenty of garlic and ginger in there, along with more veggies. The baby bok choi on the bottom was quartered and the very slight bitterness (normal to bok choi) was a perfect counterpoint to the sauce. Perfect dish.
I had seen a picture of their egg foo young posted on Unilocal.It was such a bizarre photo — showing a stir fry of chicken and veggies rather than the egg patties (with the comment that yes — there was egg foo young under it). So, being an egg foo young lover (hey, I’m «mid century modern» myself!), I ordered it. It did not disappoint. Super flavorful stir fry on top with very tender chicken. The egg patties underneath (2 of them) — were perfectly cooked. I loved this dish almost as much as the beef tenderloin.
Of course, I am never one to under order — so I got the garlic noodles with veggies. This was a very, very, very garlicky dish — as they said on the menu. The noodles were more like linguine (which is just fine with me — the menu said flat noodles). The veggies were nicely cooked and if this had been my only dish, I would have eaten it all. But, as good as these noodles were for this garlic lover, it wasn’t up to the other two dishes. Still, I would order it again, especially if I was in a big carb mood.
I will agree that it took a while to get the food. We did go at lunch and this was from the dinner menu. So I know we threw a wrench into the kitchen process. So, I am not complaining, but I was glad to be prepared for the wait based on other review.
Ambiance was diner-​esque, but with lots of pictures on the wall. Maybe not a «date night» place — though I was perfectly happy with it.
All in all, until I find something better, this will be my Chinese go to for eating out. I am still a Chop Stix girl for quick take out.

We love this restaurant! You have to order the beef tenderloin and bok choy. It is one of the most amazing meals you’ll ever eat. Staff are very nice and welcoming… fodd is delish. You’ll love it!

Delicious food but ridiculously long wait times whether you take out, get delivery, or dine in.
A part of me feels bad about giving a 1 star review, but damn! 1 hour to 1 hour and a half for a take out order on week night is horrible.
I must say that I really like their food and feel they have an excellent selection of better than average dishes. But the wait is ridiculous!
Having been there to dine in and take out, I get the impression that the long wait time is due to some kind of bottleneck in the kitchen. I can’t help but think the owners are losing a lot of business because of this.
The bottom line is I’m not using EC’s again due to the fact it takes too long to get my food. Never mind the fact they give overly optimistic estimates for delivery and take out wait times.
I’m a local and like supporting good restaurants but the kitchen is so slow I’m done. I’ve had food from there about six times so this review was not based on an anecdotal experience. The inexplicably long waits for food are a common theme. I have come in to pick up take-​out orders, and after hearing the chatter in the kitchen they appear to only start my order once I arrive (you will know what I’m talking about if you’ve ever picked up an order there).
If they get their kitchen in order and can get food out in less than an hour on a weeknight, I would certainly be willing to try them again, but for now they’re on my «do not order takeout» list.

Had really good General Chicken and great service! Very fresh tasting; worth the longer wait.

I live in Grand Junction just up the road from this place. It’s incredible. Normally, Chinese restaurants use excessive coatings and sauces to cover up the bad meat they choose. For instance, beef/​broccoli meals or Mongolian beef is always overcooked and tough. I would highly recommend trying the beef dishes here. You’ll be very surprised. Same with the stuff like orange chicken, which I normally think is gross, but this restaurant is hands-​down the best. So happy this restaurant is here in Grand Junction.

The owner is the most precious woman I’ve ever seen. She always remembers us and she’s extremely personable. Plus the food is just fantastic. Most definitely the best Asian restaurant I’ve been to in GJ, with competitive prices, as well.

Spring Rolls were excellent. I always enjoy Jasmine Tea. The ComboFriedRice and Mongolian Beef were above average but so was the bill. Very friendly service.

Yum! Kid friendly, done in, takeout, delivery. I ordered Moo Goo Gai Pan. Delicious, plenty of chicken, greet variety of veggies, hints of ginger. Very friendly! They serve complementary ‘chips and salsa’ which is sweet and sour sauce with fried wontons. Fast service. My toddler ate a full dinner. Got pretty busy on Sat. evening. Only one table for 8. Mostly seating for parties of four.

I was in town for business and offered delivery from this restaurant.
Hands down, this was the best Chinese food I have ever eaten.
The egg drop soup had incredible flavors and a texture like nothing I have had before. The egg rolls were amazing. The delivery time was long but totally worth it. The courtesy call from the restaurant when they were running late was also a nice touch.

Very sad. Have enjoyed this restaurant several times but sadly the quality & service has gone down drastically. We placed an order for delivery. We were told when we ordered it could take an hour. I told them they were worth the wait. After 1.5 hours and no food, I phoned again. They assured me it was «coming next». At the 2.25 hour mark I placed a 3^rd call. In the end it took three hours to receive our food. We live within 10 minutes.
What was unfortunate is the managers response when I called for the 3^rd time wondering where my food was she did not once apologize for the delay. She offered me a 3.50 $ discount and said it is on the way. She could have handled it so much better. When the food did arrive it was amazing. However the poor customer service just is not worth it.
We won’t be back and judging from some of the reviews that Unilocal Hides… several our saying the same. Please be sure and read the so called Hidden Reviews.

I came here for the first time last night for dinner. Nice atmosphere, music in the background… excellent waitress… I had the hot & sour chicken soup… fantastic…and had the kung pow chicken… excellent as well!!!
So I’m a creature of habit… dinner was so good last night, why not try something else from their menu tonight… so I did…
I liked the hot & sour chicken soup, so I had it again tonight… excellent…I hated to reach the bottom of the bowl!!!
As a different entre tonight I ordered the chicken egg foo young… wow, quite good. Different preparation then experienced elsewhere. Not just a brown gravy over the pancakes… nope, this gravy was loaded with veggies.
There is something unique about this restaurant anf the food being presented… I am not really sure what a «fusion» restaurant actually means… but this food seems to be prepared as its ordered and not pre-​made and waiting. It is fresh, delivered to the table steaming hot, and is quite tasty.
I dont give out many 5-stars…it most certainly must stand out above average… Give this establishment a try, I am certain you will not be disappointed!!!
