| - A friend recommended this place. I don't get it. It's one-dimensional, overcooked, and just blah. Two stars because they don't overcharge, but really, if the price was one measley dollar more, I'd give it only one star, as that is what the food, dining area, and restrooms merit.
There are few selections, and really, everything tastes the same. ALL the sauces are cloyingly sweet, and ONLY sweet. There are no subtle flavors like good Chinese food offers. The ONLY dish with vegetables was the beef with broccoli. (Sure, there were a few shards of carrot and celery in the lo mein, but really, there were no vegetables in any of the other dishes.) Two choices of soup, fried rice only.
The fried zucchini and the onion rings were both soggy messes. (Umm, tell the cook to not overcrowd the pan. He's reducing the temperature of the oil by overcrowding the pan, with the result being mushy batter instead of crispy.) The salad is iceburg lettuce and slices of underripe tomatoes. The desert choices are soft serve ice cream and red Jell-O.
Oh, use the restroom somewhere else. No seat covers, tons of grafitti, mirrors so scratched up that you can't see yourself. The man behind the counter who took my credit card was super-friendly, but the waitress who brought my water didn't utter one word, nor even offer a smile.
You know, if you are happy with Americanized slop that is overcooked (DRY, bone dry!), with no ambience whatsoever, then hey, give this place a try, but it sure didn't turn out to be my cup o' tea.
