| - 1 star for flavor. Food was acceptable, when we received it. If you want to get served quickly, or want an inexpensive lunch STAY AWAY. Eventually these folks will figure out a lunch service and then the young people crowding this place will probably keep coming back. For a middle-aged professional who doesn't care about the cool new place - I'll skip it. So many places give you food faster, for less money, with good flavor.
Details: me and a buddy went here for lunch today, I ordered the Dan Dan noodles with chicken. My friend ordered a single egg roll and the spicy peanut thing. It took us 10 minutes to get to the counter to make that simple order. Then we sat down and waited. And waited. 40 MINUTES LATER the egg roll comes after the a cook came out from the back to try to figure out the distribution mess in front of house. My friend shared the egg roll because we were starving and he is nice - it was luke warm but had good flavor. 7 minutes after that our food comes, literally 47 minutes after I ordered. I checked the receipt. We were within a minute of going up for refunds.
My dish had sprouts, noodles and chicken. The ends of the sprouts still had dirt on them, not a lot but they didn't look properly rinsed, like the cooks were rushed?? Or not enough prep time in the morning. The chicken on this dish is ground chicken, like hamburger, and there were chewy bits like ground up joints or gristle - not edible anyway. I left 2/3 of the chicken on the plate. My friend's chicken was larger pieces that looked better cooked. All this for 12.40 including a medium fountain drink. Really? I'll go to Farley's where you get a great pizza and drink for 9 (lunch special), or House of Leung where you get good flavor under 7 and table service. Or jeez, go to Salsarita's, or Zapata's. Zapata's is great and you get chips & salsa, right in the same plaza. Boardwalk Billy's or Showmar's - also better values.
