| - Absolutely horrible.
I went there for the dinner menu. Had the Peking duck, it was was like they dipped it in hot oil before they served it. It was greasy and there were three pieces of green onion, cut the size of half a finger length. Pretty stingy. Waited half an hour before receiving it.
Continuing with the rest of dinner, after our first course of Peking duck, we waited half an hour for another course. They finally brought out the squab a half hour later. What annoyed us was that the manager saw us annoyed with the wait time, yet stated "food will be there soon." I don't want to be told there will be food, I want to see food. We were waiting an hour before the actual meal arrived. We had the BBQ pork fried rice, pea greens sautéed in garlic, beef in black pepper sauce, general "Tao" chicken, "wok fried" oyster in honey pepper sauce, and "braised noodle."
Lemme say this. DO NOT trust what the menus says. The fried rice, squab, and pea greens were fine, albeit the pea greens came at the END of our meal, and we had to order it twice before it came.
The general Tao chicken. OH MY GOD. IT WAS AWFUL. You'd think its a crispy, sweet and spicy dish. Nope, it was god awful sour. It was YELLOW. That's not general Tao chicken.
The beef in black pepper sauce was extreme,y over cooked and tough.
The "wok fried" oyster were deceiving. They were deep fried, and placed on this weird sweet bun, and drenched in honey. When it said wok fried, I assumed it would have been stir fried with veggies. No, it was some little tapas looking plate.
The "braised" noodles were DEEP fried. We told the manager this was not braised, and he said yeah this isn't deep fried, it was just fried. Oh god. The menu did not say it had mushrooms in it, but it had mushrooms.
The service, two opinions. First, our first "waitress" who was actually the host, was a sweet lady who was kind. She helped us ordered and recommended us popular dishes. After that, she stopped serving us and served other tables, so the manager and another lady served us. The manager, although patient, was really confusing. We tried to tell him that we didn't order fried noodles but braised noodles, but he kept saying that in the menu that's what it was. There was a second server who was completely rude. Every time we asked her some something such as whether the noodle plate was correct, she acted like we were idiots and tried to tell us that that's what we ordered, and seemed like she wanted to pick a fight. Furthermore, she dropped a tea cup full of tea on one of our attendees.
Food, mediocre. Service, under average. I wouldn't recommend this for dinner. Maybe for dim sum, I've yet to experience it. Don't think I'll ever here though.
