| - This review is based on only one visit, but man was it a pretty terrible experience. If I return and have a better experience, I'll update this review. As of right now, definitely a 2-star experience.
Three of us walked in around 7:45 pm for dinner. One of my friends had eaten lunch here, and was excited to return. I had heard good things and was also excited to check this place out.
The place was empty. We were the only 3 people in the entire restaurant. It took 45 minutes for some of the food to come out. This doesn't make a bit of sense, but it happened. My friend's order of chicken feet too the longest to arrive, and for something he described as "alright", 45 minutes is far too long of a wait.
I ordered some spicy crispy chicken, which for some reason I thought was "bone-in" chicken. Either way, the chicken was not spicy. It was overcooked. It was clearly deep-fried in old oil, as it smelled and tasted faintly of donuts. It was a plate of overcooked, greasy dark-meat chicken. Not worth $12. I picked through it, and my companions somehow chocked down the rest. It was an awful meal, and my friends made fun of me for clearly choosing a "loser" from the menu. It truly baffled all of us in it's terribleness.
The other dish ordered was some beef in black bean sauce, which was also described as "alright".
Service was at first very friendly, but then terrible. When you wait 45 minutes for food, you expect the staff to check on you a few times. Nope, didn't happen. Friendly folks, but not so great with customer service.
Also, styrofoam cups?! Really? Any restaurant using styrofoam in 2015 should seriously stop. And why are the wall covered in old beer memorabilia?!
The place was relatively filthy, too. Our table was sticky and the floor was really dirty. The bathroom was okay, and smelled oddly of Red Vines licorice.
Unfortunately, just a really terrible experience. If I return, I'll definitely stick with the noodle bowls that others have recommended on Yelp.
