Mr Cooks

My kids grabbed a Chinese food brochure for Mr. Cook's Chinese Cuisine from the door and insisted on takeout. Mr. C's is a small counter-service restaurant with limited seating. They have many lunch and dinner specials. We got a nice selection. Everything was pretty good and reasonably priced. The kids were happy!

Against my better judgement and intuition we ordered from here. It was a costly mistake!!! We WERE loyal customers! The day after and as I type this review, I am still disgusted and pissed off by the time and money wasted on and the amount of inedible food we had to throw away. Here was our order and cost: 1) Boneless spare ribs $10.75 (7/10) (this was the best dish but, it was way over sauced) 2) Shrimp fried rice $9.25- 1/10 ( I couldn’t even swallow it because it was so hard and old) 3) Chicken Lo Mein ($9.50 value) - 3/10 (The noodles were cooked fine but, again this was flovorleas, too. This was free because of the minimum total promotion.) 4) Shrimp Egg Foo Young $10.25 - 1/10 (It was bland and the gravy was so cold ot looked like jello pudding and was just as gloveless) 5) House Mein Fun $10.25 - 1/10 (Bland) 6) Sesame Chicken $11.75 -0/10 (It was way over sauced and hard) 7) Shrimp w/Garlic Sauce $12.20 - 3/10 *(This was the dish that we previously enjoyed and the reason we ordered food again.) **The egg roll that came with one of the meals was overcooked but, more flavorful than any of the dishes.** There were NO eating utensils, napkins and only 2 fortune cookies and 4 soy sauce packets. We threw away the sesame chicken, shrimp egg foo young, shrimp fried rice and the house special Mein fun We threw the rest away today because as my daughter said “it wasn’t going to get any better”. I hate to waste food. There is so much of it in the world but, to have the audacity to charge for less than mediocre is diabolical! I actually only had one bite of most of the food of which I spat every bite out. As a a chef, I was gobsmacked at how awful the food and our experience was. I finally called the restaurant in about 30 minutes late; the same time it took to make it home and take a bite. The manager said his name was Ben and the fact that o had to debate with him about how awful the food was and to demand a controllable of a refund was beyond me. I deserved a full refund minus the boneless barbecue pork and I NEVER order pork nor eat it. I have yet to receive the refund for the two meals I agreed to under duress. The more I think about it the more I want to file a claim with my bank. I was robbed! No wonder they give away food with a certain total. Sadly, the negative reviews are true. I have eaten around the world and this experience is on the top of my DO NOT EAT LIST! The last picture was showing all of the meals we threw away.

This place is a hidden gem! I ordered the orange chicken lunch special and it came out quick. The orange chicken was fresh and not overly sweet and the spring roll was crisp. Will definitely be coming back here again!

The food is amazing! It's not overly greasy which I love and it's got a great taste with lots of flavor. The staff is always super pleasant too. Just plan to take out, not much of a sit down type place.

The meat tastes bland,and at times over cooked. The noodles are soggy, and lack any flavor other than sauce.The egg rolls are surprisingly incredible.This place should be renamed to Mr. Cook it Again because the food is disgusting.
