| - I never thought a Chinese restaurant could be so bad until I came here for dinner yesterday. My bf and I were originally going to eat at Aloha Kitchen (right next door) but we both thought, how about Chinese?? So we decided to give this place a try. It looked pretty nice and they had like 3 families having dinner there, so I thought it was gonna be good.
Service: once we got in, the host/waitress took us to a table...without menus lol. She say us down and asked us what we'd like to drink. She then brought us the waters we asked for... Still no menus. We were thinking, did she think we knew what we wanted already? Haha. THEN she finally gave us menus. Like after 5min of sitting down. Oh and that water she gave us? Was warm and didn't give us even one refill during our visit. My bf and I finished our waters during our meal and didn't have any more :( she barely checked up on us, and when she did she was never aware of what we needed. For instance, refills. And one of the dishes we ordered was a soup, and she gave it to us without and spoons lol. We waited like 5min and she never came to give us spoons so I had to ca her up and ask for spoons and she was like "omg oh yeah!" So basically, they were definitely lacking service. Also, it wasn't busy at all in the restaurant, but service was ridiculously slow. At the end of the meal it took forever to get her attention that we wanted the check, while we were only like 15ft away from her! And after she gave us the check it was like another 10min for her to pick it up. It was just bad....
Food: okay onto the food. Can I start off with how high the prices are for the dishes?! They average $10/dish. You would think you'll be getting food worth your money right? Haha well.... We ordered the house combination fried rice, orange chicken, and minced beef egg drop soup. Two words: NO FLAVOR. For any of them! Well, the Orange chicken wasn't bad, it did have flavor, but didn't taste like any orange chicken we've ever tasted. First off, the Orange chicken was near the color orange..lol they should change its name to black chicken! When it was first served to us we were so confused if they got out order right because it didn't look like any kind we've seen, nor tasted! It tasted more like teriyaki and molasses put together. The only thing I liked about it was the way it was battered and fried. That was good. Other than that, nope. The fried rice here was the most bland fried rice I have ever tasted in my life. They put like no seasoning for taste at all! The meats in it had absolutely no flavor whatsoever, and especially the shrimp in it. It tasted fishy. Gah, I couldn't eat any of its meats bc of that so I only picked at the rice and I would drown it with soy sauce to add flavor to the flavorless dish. I just don't understand how a restaurant could mess up on fried rice.. Anyway lastly, the mince beef egg drop soup. Tasted like boiled WATER with minced beef and chopped tofu thrown into it. I couldn't finish even a tiny bowl serving of it.
To sum it all up, we are not coming back here and I advise others to find a better Chinese spot to visit. There's no flavor in the foods and the service is lacking and I won't pay their high prices for that. Goodness, I don't understand how their menu is so expensive and their dishes have no flavor. Where does the money for the food go?! I apologize for such a harsh review, but I've never experienced something like this before.
