In the past, this has never happened ! I asked the lady why is a tip added to mybill?? She stated it was for a service fee. What service? I should have the option to determine if you deserve a tip, not help yourself to my money ! It is not my fault that you chose to be in there by yourself, making a food, serving the food and taking orders on thePhone . Her response was next time you take your stuff to go! Unacceptable! Then she ran my card and looking for me to give another tip! Please!Pay attention to your bill when you go to this place during lunch.The second receipt shows where she has the audacity to ask for another tip!
Hands down the best Chinese in Elkhart. I've been eating here since I was a little girl and never been disappointed. We ordered the garlic chicken, honey chicken, fried pot stickers, and chicken teriyaki. Also you have to have one of their egg rolls! So crispy and delicious. Very quick and their food is always coming out hot.
Large portions. There is plenty to take home. It would have fed double the amount recommended. Food arrived within 5 minutes. Most people did take-out. Actually, we were the only ones dining in. Pork fried rice was flavorful. Orange chicken was good. But nothing outstanding. Very little atmosphere and swated away nats. I think two people were running the whole show. Great job for only two people! I'd suggest take-out.
It's kind of a dive as far as atmosphere, but the food is always good and HOT. I'd say the quality and taste is consistent too. Great place to grab a hot, tasty lunch.
Got the General Tso’s lunch special. Includes the General Tso’s Chicken and Fried or White rice. The chicken clearly looks and tastes like it was reheated. It’s not fresh and the flavor is very lacking. The sauce just doesn’t do it any favors. Looking at the chicken as I bit into it made it less and less appetizing. I thought I would be fine eating the rice— but not only did I get the wrong rice, to my dismay, the rice was undercooked. So it had hard bits in it. Overall, my meal was very dissatisfying. The only thing I enjoyed was the roll which was included. I don’t foresee myself returning again.
