| - Brought my book club here for an evening of discussion and great Chinese food. In addition, the website boasted 1.99 glasses of house wine. We checked with server and asked about the wine specials and were advised, no, they were 2.99. Still a great deal, wine for all!
The place was packed, the 6 of us ordered our entrees and were told it would be awhile as they are busy. Within 5 mins, one meal came out, 5 mins later, the next and so it went for 5 entrees.
One of our group ordered combo fried rice, which finally came out 15 mins or so after our last served entrée. They should call this "fried rice" white rice with peas. Looked awful, boring and bland. The taster confirmed this was the case. As was the case with the tofu meal ordered by someone else.
Garlic eggplant was good, lo mein was good also.
The kicker came with the bill, three glasses of wine $14.98. Also on the bill, 3 side orders of rice, which were not ordered or received.
I call the owner over and advise we were not charged correctly as the wine should be 1.99 according to webpage or even 2.99 as confirmed by the waiter. Well, this woman just screamed, "website old, not good prices, new owner, no you pay this price!!" on and on. When we advised the waiter stated 2.99, she then yelled at him, handed me back the bill and said "no, pay this thank you".
Really??
Then, as we were leaving after paying the bill , she comes and says "give us another chance, we will give you free dessert next time and we will change the website". I think not madam.
There are plenty of good places to eat in Chinatown, this place is not one of them.
From their website: Apparently, you pay what they say, regardless of what is advertised.
