Customer Reviews
My food was ok. The lemon chicken is ok. Egg rolls are super greasy - roll them in a napkin or paper towel to absorb the grease before trying to eat them. That said - the service is comical. In the kitchen door - lots of yelling in the back - out the kitchen door …. over and over. While I waited (extra time) for the order I called in, that kitchen door had the two women running in and out - had to be 50 times. I get it - doing their jobs but when the main woman was out of the kitchen and back out front working the front, her back was towards everyone 95% of the time - totally flustered. It was almost sit-com-ish. The place is dingy and dirty looking which you notice while waiting the extra time for your called in order. Anyway - they clearly need more staff - at minimum someone who stays in the front of the house. Just seems very unorganized and unprofessional. Oh, and “cash is preferred due to slow WiFi” OK 😉😂
I looove the crispy shrimp with walnuts it’s like the Panda Express honey walnut shrimp but 100% better. They are always super nice and food is always good. I just wish they delivered but that’s my only complaint!
I ordered two General TSO's chicken entrees. The food was extremely dry and lacked flavor. At 13.95 per order, I was expecting higher quality food. I will not go back.
We use to love this place but over the years it has gone down terribly. They have to have the smallest egg rolls known to mankind. I remember when you could only fit 1 or 2 in a bag. Now they can put a whole party supply in a single bag. The rest of the food was hot but very soggy and old. It seemed like we received a microwaved order that someone didn't pick up. No crispy or crunch to anything but those tiny "egg rolls" ps. No they were not spring rolls!
Ordered general tso with fried rice and a drink. $20. Staff was friendly. Price is much higher than the place I usually go. Dining area looks like messy storage room, makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Food was fast, hot and tasted as you would expect- nothing mind blowing. Overall, the price is too high for average food and a "cafe" that does not really inspire one to eat in their dining area.
