Customer Reviews
Sal is the best guy there! Came in shortly before their closing time, Sal greeted us with big friendly smile and offered to make some of the dishes that were out. While we were waiting, Sal also came up and offered water cups to us and other customers. The check out process was also speedy and pleasant. Exceptional service!
For a fast casual Chinese place, this place rocks! Food is fresh and ready to serve. No wait. Tasty and not to salty. The Rangoons are disappointing though, they need more flavor. White rice was decent, not sticky but not too dry. Chicken is well cooked and fresh. Not cheap but not too bad. About $14 per person.
I’ve been to several different locations of this eatery, and this one was great for sure. It was easy to get a parking space (unlike in Del Mar), it was clean, and the servers act like they really love their jobs. The plates were made to order with attention to detail and not sloppily thrown together.
The portion sizes were very small and did not justify the price. Paying $15 for such a limited amount of food was disappointing. Additionally, the manager’s response and overall customer service were unprofessional. Based on this experience, I do not plan to return to this location.
Where to begin.. this location is in a busy center with a Costco and Walmart so I thought I would try coming here when they open to get the freshest food. I ended up receiving burned steak that I paid $1.50 more for. Small, hard and burned pieces that were inedible. No survey code on bag so here we are with a 1 star review. Employees were not prepared for customers despite being open for more than 30 minutes. Employees laughly loudly in dining area and talking to each other in Spanish. Overall avoid this location at all costs.
