Customer Reviews
The food was served hot, flavorful, and in a resonable timeframe. But the steamed broccoli served with my General Tsao Chicken was still cold on the interior and cold have been steamed a minute longer. However, I did not let that spoil my meal. The sweet-n-sour chicken and side order of steamed dumplings were also good. This location does quite a bit of take-out business, but for the in-house diners, the restaurant interior needs a serious refresh... paint, windows treatments and seating. Spend a few minutes through-out the day to clean the finger prints (high & low)off the front glass door.
The food here was just okay. The egg drop soup was a little salty. I thought the meat portion of the pepper steak was a little lacking. The service was great. It was busy, but they served the food fast. The prices were cheap.
Had not eaten there in a long time. Called in an order for general Tso's , chicken. The chicken was old and chewy. Was as sweet as candy. The Fried Rice was so salty.It was not edible. And as you can see in the picture , the egg rolls have about seven layers of wonton , wrappers and very little cabbage or filling. Most of it is just raw wonton wrappers. Egg Rolls were cold and almost all wrapper and very little filling. But the staff was pleasant as usual, very professional. Very sweet caring people work there.
Kung Pao Chicken was not good, and only had 4 - 5 pieces of actual chicken and the rest water chestnuts n peanuts, I sent it back and ordered General Tso Chicken. They made me pay for the KPC anyway. :-/ I also requested a special change; General Tso Shrimp, and they did their best to accommodate, and it was quite tasty...I'll be requesting that again, just ask for "extra breading/extra crispy", as he instructed me to for my next visit ;) Service was a tad slow; saw one lady just leave because she said she was done waiting. Once we got served, staff was friendly and attentive. Just gotta be patient and not in a lunch-hour hurry 😉
There are some great dives out there, but sadly, this isn't one of them. The staff was very helpful, and kind. The atmosphere was lacking, and try not to use the restrooms if you can help it. The food was... kind of meh. An odd taste in the chicken lo mein. The general tso was ok, not very spicy. The steamed rice was dried to a crisp, and the vegetables used as garnish were raw and cold. The egg rolls were all dough and cabbage, very little meat. I wish I could give a better review. It seems like it's a family operation. I want them to get better!
