We used to come here for years and it's been a few months since out last visit. Definitely there has been a complete turnover in ownership/management/staff.
First on order was a chow mein. Crispy egg noodle was specifically requested. Twice. What came (really quickly) was a platter of boiled noodle with a saucy topping. When I mentioned the crispy noodle the server looked puzzled and stated that's not done with egg noodle. He took the plate and returned with fried noodle, but without any crispiness or browned crunchiness.
General Tao Chicken is a dish that varies from place to place but it was the worst I've had anywhere. Ordered with sauce on the side, what turned up was essentially soggy chicken nuggets with a bowl of...sweet and sour sauce. No zip of any other flavour. At this point I couldn't deal with the hassle and settled on what was in front of me.
The third dish was double-cooked green bean stir-fried with pork. There was none of the snap to the beans from the benefit of a really hot wok. Just the yielding softness of over-cooking. And saltiness, on top of the dried fish in the recipe.
We ate just enough and it was time to pay. The wait staff was all walking around attentively enough, but couldn't be sure what they were looking out for. There was one staff whose job looked like it was to take payments but just sat there by the cash register staring off. I like the modest size of the restaurant, and the place was nowhere full at the time and there was no lineup to get in as we've experienced so many times before. Even then, the wait for the bill might have taken ten minutes...
Ended throwing out the take-home leftovers.
Congee Queen from now on.
