Went on Sunday 2-7-16 at 6PM. $33.24 got us a thai tea, a coke, a combo platter appetizer, an individual dinner, and a chicken in hot garlic sauce entree. The restaurant is located in the Smith's shopping center on Green Valley between Pebble & the 215.
.
The restaurant is in fair condition and poor cleanliness. The table was sticky and the soap dispenser in the men's room was duct-taped to the wall. Our server was prompt and friendly.
.
$7.95 Combo platter- An assortment of (2) egg roll, (2) butterfly shrimp, (2) crab rangoons and (2) paper wrapped chicken & BBQ pork. The eggs rolls were filled with what I can only assume was a mixture of coleslaw and black pepper. I've never had an eggroll like this and did not enjoy it although it was nicely fried. The crab rangoons were my favorite part of the whole meal. They have a good amount of filling and although devoid of crab they were very tasty. The shrimp were not butterflied as their menu describes and were not de-veined. They were fried nicely but I'm not a big fan of eating poo. The "paper wrapped chicken" was really just like a chicken sausage wrapped in tiny triangles of tinfoil. They were actually pretty tasty. The barbecue pork was disgusting...tiny slivers of dried up pork sauteed in the same gooey pink sauce that is traditionally served with crab rangoons. I was praying before I went to sleep that I didn't get food poisoning from anything I just mentioned.
.
$9.55 Individual dinner- I chose chow mein, crab rangoons, wonton soup, and orange chicken. The chow mein was the super-cheap spaghetti kind with bean sprouts, green onions, and maybe a tiny sliver of carrot here or there. Noodles were hot and had sub-par flavor but were fairly mushy. The orange chicken was probably the worst I've ever had...very freezer burned and I was done after 4 bites. The wonton soup was served boiling hot but the broth was terrible...it tasted like my breath when I wake up in the morning. The wontons were complete mush and were so gross that I spit it out into my napkin.
.
$9.25 Chicken in hot garlic sauce- Sliced white meat chicken w/ carrots, mushrooms, diced bell pepper and onion stir fried in spicy Szechuan sauce. My hubs told me the chicken was rubbery and the veggies were cheap and not cooked well. It was an enormous amount of food for the price, however.
.
This place is not serving high quality or tasty food. I am disappointed that I wasted over thirty bucks here. I felt bad for our server who boxed up the leftovers knowing full well that they were going in the dumpster. This is the kind of place where you wait til the waitress walks away and joke about the neighborhood cats going missing and I am shocked that it has 4 stars.
