| - It's truly rare that there is no redeeming part of a meal that made it enjoyable. Usually either the service is good, the food is good, and/or the price is good.
Admittedly we went at a very busy time. The server was quick to greet us and take drink orders. However the spiel about how the restaurant serves in the "eastern" style and if the table can't handle they can serve is in the "western" style was annoying at best and wildly inappropriate at worst. We got our drinks quickly for the most part, but the tea one of us ordered came a good 2 or 3 minutes later. I had just assumed they were steeping the tea and bringing it out when it was ready. I was disappointed to see that they put a tea bag in a tea cup it instructions to let it steep for 4 minutes with no indication about how long it's been steeping. I had a Diet Coke, which came out quickly initially, but when I asked for a refill, as told that the bar is backed up and it will take a while. I'd understand if I order even a simple mixed drink, but soda is something you pour while you're pouring something else also.
The food was alright. It wasn't bad for the most part, but extremely salty at times and really under seasoned at others. We ordered popcorn chicken after it was recommended by friends. The flavor was good but it was insanely salty, speaking as a person who likes salty food. General Tso's chicken tasted okay, but definitely not worth the price nor was it a large plate. You could get better GT chicken at literally any crappy Chinese restaurant. We also ordered pork buns which had a nice flavor, but the pork was bone dry. We also ordered the TK inferno set which was 3 different types of rolls and very reasonably priced. One of them was a scallop roll, which was filled with flying fish roe. So you only tasted and felt that. The scallop could have been boiled potato and I would not have known, the amount of flying fish roe that was in there. The coup de gras was the tofu skewer. For 7 bucks we got 4 small pieces of tofu that I couldn't figure out whether it was grilled or just gray, topped with a ginger miso like sauce and tasted okay. 7 bucks. For gray tofu with some sauce. Not okay.
Overall the entire meal came to about 18 bucks per person for our 5 person party. Only because we didn't want to spend more money to be disappointed. We just went to tornado room and got steak sandwiches.
Hard pass.
