| - Basis for my starred ratings (which skews heavily to the food or drink):
1 star: Never again.
2 stars: Poor food, poor experience, extraordinary measures in order for me to come back.
3 stars: Average, nothing really special, nothing particularly bad.
4 stars: Very good, would definitely return.
5 stars: A favorite, one of the best.
Come in and expect Chinese-American food, NOT traditional Chinese food. They also have a smattering of curries and Japanese food.
I ordered a couple things for lunch. Pork rolls, basically pork egg rolls. These were just OK. They are VERY big, so decent value. But the filling is mostly cabbage with very little pork, in this case they use BBQ pork. I appreciate that the vegetables still had crunch to them.
Also ordered salt and pepper chicken with a side of broccoli instead of rice or noodles. The broccoli was well cooked and left crisp, nothing special. The salt and pepper chicken maintained its crispy breading but lacked a little flavor otherwise. They use dark meat, which I appreciate. Kept it moist and had more flavor.
There are things to like. They have a list of quality controls that they use which is nice. None of the food felt greasy at all (a far cry from Panda Express), they say no MSG, and some other health-related stuff. All that is well and good, but none of the food excited me. It was serviceable fast-casual Chinese-American food.
