This location was interesting as the food was subpar for some reason. The congee we ordered was bland and literally had no taste. There was either no salt added or just a pinch... a very small pinch. The stuff in the congee was also bland. The tripe should have been at the very least salty and spicy. The Empress Fried Rice was anything but. The rice was not fried but just flash heated in a wok (I cook so I can tell when someone skimps), the soy sauce was inadequate and it lacked salt. The broad noodles with beef? ;-) You guessed it! Bland with a very teeny bit of salt.
They must have either run out of salt or they ran out of veteran short order cooks. My dad was a short order cook and he was really good at that. I'll give this place a try at a future date... Maybe in 2099 when my taste buds no longer exist. :-P Cheers!
