Three Ponds Chinese Restaurant

This Place is probably one of the more under appreciated places in Lakewood that has lost clientele to the loads of Teriyaki joints, Chinese Buffet, and South Korea Way restaurants. However the last few times I’ve been here the food & ingredients have been super fresh & tasty and they serve up a Korean-​Chinese Menu that honestly beats the food @ the Chinese joint inside Pal-​Do World & definitely Royal box. The Jajang Myun (black bean noodles) are the best in Tacoma and their Jambong (spicy seafood noodle soup) is rather hearty and hits the spot on a rainy day.
The Mandarin Chicken Wings or Shrimp are to die for and a MUST if you stop in this place. They are a super crispy and cooked in a sauce that has a hint of sweet/​spicyness and a touch of garlic… YUM!
I don’t get to go here often so theres a lot more I gotta try… the ambiance is definitely retro and they are probably not located in the best spot for their target clientele but it is definitely worth the try!

We used to go to Three Ponds years ago and found it again two weeks ago. We had Hot –n– Sour soup and Veggie Fried Rice that were terrific! The décor is a old and the fish tank by the door is confusing but it’s really clean and the food is good! We just got take-​out for dinner and had really zesty, flavorful, spicy Mandarin Chicken with some more soup and rice.
If we try some other things I’ll write an update!
We’re still on a search for Tacoma Chinese food that even comes within sight of Shanghai Garden in Seattle and this isn’t quite that good but it tops lots of other gloopy, bland Chinese places around here!

Dump, but the lemon chicken is the best in Tacoma
