| - I was visiting a friend nearby and decided to pick up Chinese for dinner on a weekday. There were three adults, so we ordered three dishes (Mu shu pork, Gen Tao Chicken, and House Special/everything lo mein). We also ordered three egg rolls.
It wasn't terrible, but it definitely was not good. I would not return and would not recommend this place. For what we ordered and some extra sauce, and since it was takeout, I opted not tip, it was nearly $40! Chinese is supposed to be cheap, and tasty - this was neither.
Now, I appreciated that the lo mein wasn't greasy, but it also had zero flavor. I know all the meats and shrimp were frozen, so they should at least season it. It was bland. The mu shu was odd - it was mostly cabbage which is fine, but tasted like it had been cooked for a while. It was kind of mushy. The sauce for it was absolutely bizarre! It was the consistency of soy sauce, and was not good. Until now, I thought hoisin sauce was one thing you couldn't screw up... I normally eat 3-4 of these, but ate one and was done. That bad.
Egg rolls were ok, they're frozen, dumped in a fryer... not much to expect. They didn't include duck sauce, glad I asked... The chicken dish was fine. Nothing special, but not bad. Good flavor, not too spicy, but left me with heartburn all night. It was fast and ready when I arrived, but very expensive for what we got. I think my exact bill was $38 and change... I felt ripped off.
Save your $40 and go elsewhere. It it set up like a fast food counter, isn't nice and they're not friendly.
