If one star means "Eek! Methinks not," then one star it is. I'm not even sure what I got from here was food!
The outside is shady indeed, the inside is in fact shadier, and the food and service... you get the idea. I ordered the beef and broccoli lunch which included fried rice - a safe bet at any Chinese place. What I ended up with seemed like some sort of gelatinized beef fat... at least I hope. If it wasn't fat, I have no clue what it was. And the fried rice looked something like rice, but I don't even know how to describe what it tasted like. Needless to say, I didn't take 3 bites of the plate before throwing it out. And I kind of feel sick just thinking about it.
I haven't found a great Chinese place in Phoenix yet, but I can guarantee you I'd avoid even driving past this place -- and I suggest you do the same.
