| - Quik Chinese? Not so much...I've been here twice and both times I have had painfully long dining experiences. The first time I ate at QC at least the food was decent (hence the 2-star rating), this second time around everything was terrible.
First mistake = coming here on Christmas Day (around 5:30pm) - but I had nothing at home to eat, and there weren't many dining options open except for Chinese. George & Son's had a 50 minute wait, and we were quoted 20 minutes at QC so we decided to eat here.
We walked in to a fairly full restaurant, and our first red flag should have been the sight of the staff (all 5 of them) frantically running around, except for a young 10-year old girl who was seating guests....
It took quite a bit of time to get our drinks and appetizers out to the table but the real disaster came with the time we had to wait for our entrees. Between finishing our appetizer and receiving our entree plates, it had to be at least 45 minutes. In that time we saw multiple tables get up and leave due to not having any service, which at first was amusing, and then turned to annoyance.
Repeatedly there was a gentleman (who seemed to have come into the restaurant to help his buddies during dinner service because they were so backed up) who told tables, "sorry folks, we didn't think we'd be so busy today!" Well - it is Christmas, and you're the only restaurant open...c'mon man.
When the food finally got to our table, the same gentleman came with the plates and said to us, "Does this look like the food you ordered?" Uhh, what!? You tell me guy, you're the one who works here...plus almost all Chinese food looks the same, so, sure?
The last straw was that the food was terrible, cold, and unappetizing. Poor marks all around. Running a restaurant when you're slow is easy, a true mark of a decent restaurant is managing and being capable when you're busy.
I know its Chinese food, but still, let's keep some sort of standards here folks. You know it's bad when you leave saying, "We should have just eaten at Taco Bell." Too bad they were closed.
