| - Let me start this review from the end... As I walked back to my car from eating at this establishment I cracked opened my fortune cookie and this is what it said. " the key to happiness is to lower your expectations" well... that would have saved this place from a low rating if I would had opened the fortune cookie right before I ate here because I was actually pretty much expecting to totally enjoy my meal.
I stopped here around 3 pm for lunch on my way to work, I ordered from the lunch special menu the Kung pao chicken with fried rice, noodles and egg flower soup. When I got my order I was the only one there and abut six or seven employees working at the time so I sat on the corner and started eating my food, when one by one all the employees started to came out to the dinning area to have lunch, and no, is not that I mind sharing the dining area with the help, it was just that they brought in their own food, some kind of stew, they placed it on a table and they all started to serve themselves from it. Didn't know what it was I all know is that it looked very delicious and appetizing and that it wasn't on the menu, all of a sudden my Kung pao chicken didn't looked very good it looked kinda sad on the Styrofoam container, compared to what everyone else was eating, The vegetables were a little under cooked and the noodles and rice lacked flavor, I don't know what it was missing but whatever it was, it was not missing on their food because they were really enjoying it, so much, I was tempted to ask them if I could trade my food for some of theirs or at least ask them to sprinkle some of that we don't use msg MSG on my plate since it was pretty much tasteless but I didn't want to disrupt their lunch.
Would I come back? Sure.. If I get to bring my own food.
I'm no fortune cookie, so don't rely completely on my advice but if you expect better food, go to panda express instead, and that's as low as expectations can get; after all I live in China town, I may be a little bit spoiled.
On a positive note, the egg soup was good.....five stars for the chicken that laid the egg.
