| - This place is brutal on so many levels.
No greeter. You walk into the restaurant, tables are not cleared. This place honestly has no staff. My family sat for almost 30 minutes and no tea. Seriously? How are you even in business?
We ordered a set menu at a very reasonable price. I guess you get what you pay for.
The free soup was lukewarm and for a table of eight people, each person has enough for half a bowl. The table next to us had two people, and they were served the same sized serving of soup! This made no sense to me at all.
These were the dishes that came in the set menu:
Mixed veggie plate consisted mostly of celery. A few snow peas, thin king mushrooms, and a sprinkling of some sort of nut/bean? I guess this was alright.
Duck Peking style. This was decent. Served with mediocre crepes and accoutrements including cucumber, onion, carrots, fried things, and hoisin sauce.
Beef. Not tender but it was edible. Served with broccoli. Average dish.
Sweet and sour pork. I didn't eat this but it looked pretty generic.
Steamed fish. Not fresh. It tasted dirty.
Fried lobster with little fishies. This was decent as well. How is this healthy though? It's clearly fried!
Fried rice with lobster... What's that word??? You know, the greenish stuff inside? This dish was alright.
Duck, second course. In sauce with tofu. The presentation of this one looked like slop. However, it tasted pretty good.
The main problem comes back to this place being totally understaffed. People had to get up to ask for more water for tea, for containers, for utensils, etc... So many tables were not bussed because they just didn't have any workers. Do you expect customers to come back when the service is so slow and inefficient?
This place offers a VIP card so you can get discounted prices on set menus and 10% off on regular menu items. I guess that's the only way they get repeat customers.
I feel sorry for the few people who do work here though. I wish your employers would get you some help.
I'm not coming back here.
