This place is one of my parent's favs but it often leaves me feeling quite unwell. Although western Chinese tends to have the effect on me as a genre, there has always been something about this place in particular.
I can't say the staff is overly nice or the food is overly good - I don't get the "draw" but maybe it's the meat dishes as anything veggie isn't wonderful. The best I've had here was a spicy tofu dish and I loved the heat - it just gave me stomach rubbles.
The recent food inspection issues doesn't help my impression of this place. I now really wonder if it's the MSG and seasoning or the food handling. I was by here at lunch today and the place was packed which means they've obviously corrected the terrible conditions that resulted in $25,000 in fines and they have earned back business. I hope they have turned things around - I'm just remaining a bit skeptical of the place for a while yet.
