| - In Short: Awful food with no imagination, go at your own peril.
I was in downtown Phoenix and it was pretty late so decided to drop by this place. Looked OK from the outside but I should have walked out as soon as I walked in. The place was adorned by eclectic collection of 60's, 70's and 80's lefotovers. The atmosphere from the start was dead wrong. Hardly any of the staff spoke english, which made ordering an interesting adventure in it self.
The menu is also a collection of 60's, 70's and 80's leftovers ans typical chinese dishes. Which in my opinion is Ok if the food was any good, unfortunately that was not the case. We ordered a soup, a appetizer, and two main dishes (kung pao chicken, and spicy beef). Soup was decent but the appetizer was over cooked and soaked with oil, then plastered with a thick sauce to make up for it. Spicy beef was overcooked and unappetizing as well, I suspected the meat was a little old as well. The real kicker was the cungpao chicken, my friend noticed a piece of rotten vegetable on our dish. We brought this to the attention of our waitress who took the dish to show to another staff member and then came back and said there was nothing wrong with it and it was a water chestnut. She took over 10 minues to explain this but for the life of me I couldn't understand her. They really didn't give us an option to replace the dish, get a new one or even refund the money. I have no idea if it was a rotten or actually a chestnut but they could have at least offered us a compromise. Customer service was pretty much zero. I eat a lot of chinese food and I was really disappointed with the oldest chinese restaurant in phoenix.
