| - I don't like being lied to...who does. I called ahead to ask them if they use MSG and was told "no." I asked again, "are you sure, because I get headaches after eating MSG?" The lady on the other end snaps back "no MSG!"
Well, the lady working the counter lied to me as I still have a headache from eating lunch there yesterday. It's so bad that I feel compelled to write this review as I cannot sleep with this headache. I only get headaches after consuming large quantities of the garbage, which is rare since I take precautions to avoid it the best I can and haven't experienced anyone else lying about it. Hell...even a Vietnamese restaurant admitted to " just a little bit...just a little bit" recently which I appreciated, yet avoided.
Rather than being honest and not making a sale, China A GoGo decided to be deceptive and in return will get my honest review about the cleanliness of their restaurant and quality of their food.
So against my better judgement, I ordered the Mongolian Beef lunch with Hot & Sour Soup...not to go. The table I sit at is sticky prior to my food arriving. The soy sauce and Sriracha on the table have crusty residue on the tops of them. Even though I chose to dine in, my food arrives in a styrofoam to go box...the soup in a styrofoam cup. The lady plops it down in front of me and I see noodles hanging out of the box laying on the sticky tabletop. I pull the noodles that have contacted the table out putting them on my napkin. I'm given only 1 napkin, a plastic fork...no chopsticks.
The Mongolian beef wasn't at all spicy or seasoned for that matter. Not a lot of meat, but a ton or green bell pepper and onion. A more fitting name would've been Bell Peppers in MSG sauce. It came with fried rice and some bland brown noodles. I was expecting it to come with white rice and would've preferred it to. The fried rice was meatless and flavorless. The noodles were just as bland, actually more so. Maybe I should've eaten the noodles hanging off the box that touched the table? They may have had more flavor after soaking up the table top bacteria.
The hot and sour soup was neither hot nor sour. Tons of tofu, no meat whatsoever and close to no bamboo shoots. A slippery, slimey tofu soup without any crunch is what I got.
Even without the MSG fiasco, I would've rated it 2 stars. Since I was deceived in the name of a few dollars and am still suffering at 5am the next day, they get 1. China a NoGo makes Panda Yuckxpress seem like a 5 star dining establishment.
