TNR Cafe

Had a good time Edit: came here again and really enjoyed. Shoutout to Aivin who is super cool and intelligent. We were a big party and didn’t wait for long to get all our food. Warning: if you foresee leaving here late at night (after 10pm), please don’t park in the parking garage behind the restaurant because they will close the door after 10.

In a city crowded with ordinary flavors, TNR rises effortlessly above the sea of culinary mediocrity. The spicy orange chicken stands as a masterclass in how American Chinese cuisine should be done—crisp yet tender, glazed in a sauce that’s bright, tangy, and complex without tipping into sweetness. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause between bites—as if each balanced bite is inducing a religious experience. The weekday lunch special is another standout. It’s a rare find these days: pre-pandemic pricing paired with post-pandemic quality. Affordable, generous, and prepared with the same care as the dinner menu. TNR doesn’t just serve great food—it restores your faith in what familiar comfort dishes can be when done with passion and commitment to excellence.

Wonderful dinner here! As an appetizer we got the soup dumplings sampler that were very delish. I ordered a bubble tea that was pretty good and got the Peking duck was very flavorful and cooked well. My friend got Beef and Broccoli and enjoyed it! Atmosphere is beautiful would come again!

Food was delicious! We ordered the sesame chicken, crispy beef, crispy chicken and wonton soup. The crispy chicken was spicy with no sauce. The crispy beef and sesame chicken were delicious but, the wonton soup was a bit cold and didn't have much flavor. Service was great and had nice ambiance. Would definitely go again.

Even though I wrote in all of the instructions, and you can see the order receipt also says: NO ONION, I got onion, and a lot. On the sweet and sour pork and on the fried rice (pictures attached) I don't have a problem with onion, but my wife does, that's why I did the request and it was blatantly ignored. The flavor was good (for me), but not a good experience for my wife. If there are dishes that you can't take the onion out, let me know in advance and I can order something else, but don't promise something that you are not going to fulfill. Edit: We messaged TNR café on Instagram and they offered a $50 gift card. We then decided to actually go to the restaurant and dine-in. Amazing experience! The place is beautiful and the food delicious (this time, no onion to be seen!). We got the General Tso Chicken again, Soup dumplings and some curry-based noodles. We also ordered some beers and wine (happy hour). Service was efficient and servers kind. If I would have to criticize something, the house white wine offered in the happy hour was not good, but again, it is a happy hour wine. No complaints whatsoever and will definitely come back.
