| - We came to this location with high expectations due to the favorable reviews and because we were craving Asian food, which the area seems to lack. I must say this wasn't what we expected.
First of all, because of the reviews, we were expecting something more authentic, but this place is quite americanized. Although I like the combo option, the dishes are generic and contains a lot of salt. It seems like not much thought was put into constructing the dishes because the flavors could definitely be better.
Some other reviews mentioned that service is fantastic but no one greeted us when we walked in even though the restaurant was not busy. However, they were very nice when they brought us our food.
Lastly, the atmosphere is far from ideal. The restaurant had a TV that was playing a baking food competition. There is nothing wrong with that, but due to the silly nature of the show and the exaggerated personality of the hostess, it made the restaurant noisy. Also, I'm not sure how a funny baking competition is relevant to the restaurant's targeted audience who came to enjoy Chinese cuisine. The show's high volume made it a bit hard to communicate.
Overall, the other reviews are relevant because everyone has different expectations. But this is by no means a place for authentic Chinese cuisine. In fact, I would say it's more of a takeout place than sit-down restaurant. So keep that in mind before visiting.
