Love the wok hei in the fish that levels up this dish with a charred aroma and enhances the Caramelization of the dish. The wonton soup was definitely no plain , very filling and flavorful with a nice variety of different ingredients that gives you more complexity for this dish . We asked for extra sauce on the tomato beef stir fried noodles which works nicely with the crunchiness of the noodles without making it seem dry . The staff was attentive and very nice ! Food didn’t take very long to arrive . We had plenty of leftovers for open because there portions was generous. Definitely recommend this place!
Although the food was quickly prepared and I did not wait a long time, the flavor was lacking. I paid $45 for this food, so not sure if I will try it again as the flavor did not match the price: - Mongolian Beef - a pile of onions with very little beef. What beef I tasted was good. - Chinese Broccoli in garlic sauce - blah flavor, but broccoli still had good crunch. - Combination Fried Rice - blah taste with a bit of egg shell.
The host was the worst. Does not have any type of customer service or basic manners. She did not even greet us and proceeded to order us to sit at a certain table. When we preferred another table she started yelling at us like we were children. I have never witness such disrespect. We left right away. I will never go back or spend 5 cents of my hard earned money on a establishment that employs that type of staff
The dishes were 95% onions. The cashier (I think she was the owner) locked the people skill. No facial expression and verbal communication even I tried gave her the compliment of the restaurant. Most owner will just smile and said thank you. Then she dumped my to go food on the table instated of hang it to me.
This place is disgusting, i walked in there and there were two guests in front of my both picking up takeout orders. It took her 15 minutes to swipe two credit cards, and after that the lady looked me right in the eye and didnt even acknowledge or offer to help me or the other person waiting to place takeout orders. And when we said we wanted to place a order she gave us a stink face like we were wasting her time, not a welcoming environment at all. I ordered sesame chicken with no vegetables, shrimp fried rice with no vegetables, and crab rangoon. My wife ate one bite of the chicken and almost threw up, they still put vegetables in in the rice, and it smelled like fish. And the rangoon was the worst, it was like stale wontons that had been left out for a month in the california heat and then left in a pantry at room temp for another month, they shattered like glass, my dog didnt even want any and he eats everything. When you open a business especially one that serves food, i though you were supposed to have pride in what you serve, and try to be the best you can. When your serving your ethnic food in america we would appreciate if you cook it like you would back in your home country. This place needs to re evaluate completely. Disgusting and i don’t recommend to anyone Im not even gonna give this to someone on the streets, they dont deserve something so nasty, instead im giving the next person i see whose struggling $20, and telling them not to spend it here
Once we were served everything the waiter never came back to refill water or check to see if everything was ok. The food was great and they give big servings. There were 4 of us and got 3 fortune cookies. If your in a hurry you may not to come here.
Really love the food in the ambience of the restaurant but tonight I didn't feel wanted the server was looking over her shoulder why was the front about to place my order the cashier which is generally friendly same taken back and not as polite the food is wonderful sometimes I think my dreadlocks makes people nervous 🥹
DONT COME TO EAT HERE!! There was nothing but mosquitoes coming into our food and we had let the server know and they still had the audacity to charge my family the food that was tainted with flies. The only food I did eat made me feel so sick and I threw up after from the horrible experience and the thought of who knows what else is going into my food while they’re cooking it. They’re also charging ridiculous expensive prices to just rip you off in the end! Don’t charge extra for mediocre food because your business is struggling. I’m sorry for the honest review but I’m so upset for my sisters birthday being ruined with food poising for the whole family. They also served my boba with no lid and gave me a straw that had no plastic wrapping, SUPER unsanitary. Never coming here again!
