Legend has it that this is America's first cashew chicken. The David's Special is a good way to try it. Just be aware that it's cooked in oyster sauce if you have certain food allergies.
Godfather of the original Springfield style cashew chicken! From 1963. McDonalds came to visit for 3 days in 1969 and wanted the recipe. In 1970 McDonalds came out with the McNugget.
The original cashew chicken recipe! I haven't had anything I didn't like so far, and they have good deals.- Abby MurrayNovember 2, 2016Best cashew chicken I've had in Springfield! They have an excellent menu with very good prices!
Lore RobesonJanuary 28, 2016The original cashew chicken is delicious but so is everything on the menu here.
Buford DouglasDecember 31, 2019David Leong invented Springfield-style Cashew Chicken, aka Cashew Chicken, here in 1963.
Kari was a great waitress! Can't wait to visit for dinner or lunch again!
Eric WillisMay 19, 2015This place is terrible! Gets worse by the minute!!! Won't be around much longer! No way it's profitable! Can't be! Everybody knows how bad it is, must be laundering money here for terrorism.
Linden TuckerDecember 3, 2011The crab rangoons are great... tastes like they actually have crab in them. Try them in the duck sauce.
Chris MedlinJuly 19, 2012Maybe a fluke visit,but our chicken was really tough and tasted very bland. Add that to the awful service (waiter was leaning over our table, reaching over our food) and it made for an unpleasant trip
Rebecca WilliamsJune 30, 2013If you have fond memories of Leong's, rest assured this isn't that place. Awkward layout, mediocre, overpriced food, horrendous service. Hey Leong's branch out from the Minute Rice, Mmmkay
Ruth Ann BanDecember 31, 2010The Cashew Chicken is very good and the hot mustard is very HOT!!!!!!!!
- Save room for the pineapple mango upside down cake!!!

"The hot & sour rice bowl with chicken NEVER disappoints. I literally eat it once a week. I'm all about trying new things, but it's hard to stray from this perfect rice bowl. Very big. Very filling."
