| - I've been coming here on and off since they took over the fish and chip by the same name, and the had the slogan "more than just fish and chips"
It was fine back then, when there were no nearby options, but now this place has got to up it's game.
The demographic that goes nuts for egg rolls and chop suey is fading quickly.
The average midtowner knows of at least one of the Congee Queen, Time, King, Star places that are much much better.
Or, if the place is still Taiwanese owned, how about rocking a real Taiwanese menu, instead of a mish-mash of mostly fake Chinese food?
I gave 2 stars. One for each dish they do well. Crispy Ginger Chicken. When done well, it's crispy, caramelized, sweet, and savoury. When done poorly it's a salty, soggy, mess. Can't tell if it is different chefs, or just an inconsistent one.
The other dish is the basil chicken, which like the above is great when they do it well.
Typically, I don't deviate from these 2 dishes, but each time I do I am met with disappointment.
Recently I got the chow mein that was full on soggy. Totally unacceptable these days.
If any of the employees that might read this, ask yourself honestly - how many of the dishes on the menu would you say are authentic? How many of them would you order of you were a customer? Yea, thought so.....
