| - We stopped in while passing by in search of a place to have dinner. There was a lot of people and the prices seemed reasonable.... but totally not worth it.
We ordered the hot and sour soup, eggplant and garlic and kong pao chicken for two people.
The hot and sour soup was not that great. While there is plenty of ingredients, it was basically all sour and not spicy at all. So soup is a pass for sure.
The eggplant and garlic was way too sweet and had way too much sauce. The eggplants were beyond drenched in sweet sauce and the eggplants were borderline mushy.
The kong pao chicken was not spicy at all. While there was lots of peanuts, water chestnuts and tender chicken, it was way too salty.
The servers pretty much ignored us for the most part. Even when trying to get the bill, the one male server didn't seem to respond to our request and just walked away (it wasn't that busy, place was less than 1/3 full when we tried to pay so no excuse for his behavior). And the servers wasn't able to answer very simple questions, like if the chicken dish would be sweet or not, I get it with language barriers but it was a simple question that they should know)
I found that this place most likely catered to Westerners, as that is what the majority of the crowds are. If you want authentic Chinese food, go elsewhere in Chinatown, where they don't mask the flavors with a lot of sauce, salt or sugar.
