| - This place is in a sketchy area, in a mostly abandoned strip of run down, low end shops. There was a Walmart in the parking lot years ago, but when it left, this little pocket of town fell on hard times.
People at my work order from this place and they've lived to tell the tale, so I thought I'd finally give it a try. The sanitation score was 94, which made me feel better. The waiting area was kinda run down but pretty clean and the cooks were cleaning the walls and stove area while I waited which also made me feel confident. I ordered Chicken and Black Bean sauce and I paid an additional $1.59 to add broccoli to it. I also ordered wonton soup. The total was $9.59, which I thought was steep for a carry-out lunch, but I went ahead and paid it... hoping for the best.
I got the tiniest containers of food! My soup was the biggest container in the bag! I ate the wonton soup until I ran out of crispy noodles to float in it; it wasn't great, but it was hot and it was why I wanted Chinese to begin with so I ate it despite it's mediocre flavor. My chicken and broccoli was just that- chicken and broccoli. There was no trace, no nuance of black bean sauce, so I was completely lied to on that, which really irritated me! If I'd wanted chicken and broccoli, I'd have ordered chicken and broccoli and saved my $1.59 that I paid to add broccoli to chicken and black bean sauce! The chicken was suspect to me, so I only ate 1 piece of it and threw the rest away. I ate the broccoli and it was tasty enough, but would have been better mixed with actual black bean sauce! So for nearly $10.00, I got broccoli in usual brown sauce, white rice, and a little bit of borderline average wonton soup.
I do not consider that a bargain and I will not be returning. I hope the $1.59 you insisted on charging me for that "additional" broccoli was worth running off a fat girl with disposable income that eats out twice a day.
