So I have worked in this area for about 4 years. I have eaten here at least 20 times.
The Good: The food is good. The prices reasonable. It is independently owned. It used to be off the beaten path. I like those facts & tried to support this restaurant.
The Bad: Over the years it has gotten busier & busier especially at lunch (the hospital people figured out its location.) The atmosphere used to be trendy &laid back, it is now rushed & kinda dirty. The food has always been SLOW to come out & is usually not ready when stated for picking up take out. Service has always been mediocre. I was able to overlook these points until today.
Today as I was dining at a small table for 1 today and I was asked to move. Not to just another table but to an even smaller crappier one. It was next to the register, so you have people standing over you the whole time & it has a broken chair. I declined and got my food to go. It was clear they valued others business over mine despite the fact I was already ordered, about to get my food & have eaten there many times. This experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Sadly I will not be returning here any more. There are just to many other choices.
China Town on Spring Mt. has great food and it never takes as long to get it as it does at Mix Zone to get it.
