| - Hit this place on Thanksgiving Monday, after getting home from a weekend away. Didn't feel like cooking...decided to try this place.
Here's the lowdown:
1) It's in a plaza on the north side of Major Mac, where the Longo's and Dollar Store are. If I hadn't seen the sign out front, I never would have known it was here.
2) Food isn't authentic (or in the vicinity of authentic) Chinese food...it's the Americanized version of Chinese food. Bland, bland, bland.
3) Didn't eat in as it had zero personality. It was clean...just not inviting. Ordered food and took it home.
4) Food isn't bad....there was absolutely nothing that we ordered that stood out. Disappointed as I could have hit Asian Legend in the plaza across the street. I now know better.
5) I heard the female cashier ask other ppl who came in to order take out how spicy they wanted their food. The male cashier who took our order never gave us the option of changing the heat factor. Food is pretty bland...heat may have helped it.
6) Female staff who brought our food out to us (as we waited) was friendly.
We ordered:
A) Chicken Fried Rice - Zero flavour, zero reason to order it again. Cooked ok...just absolutely no flavour to it all
B) Pork Chop Suey - bland. Nothing to write home about. Nice pieces of shredded pork in it, but again, pretty bland
C) Kung Pao Chicken - listed on the menu as spicy, it was anything but. Huge disappointment. Proper amount of chicken in dish, just pretty bland.
D) Chili Beef - listed on the menu as spicy...it had just a bit of heat to it. Beef was chewy, would not order again. This dish was the most flavourful of what we got.
E) Spring Roll - basic fare
F) Steamed Rice (came with meal)...perhaps the best thing we had....as it wasn't a disappointment. How sad is that?
Would I go back? Nope.
