| - Today was the first (and most likely the last) time I've eaten here.
The first thing I noticed was the prices of the items on the lunch menu. To me, they seemed to be a little on the high side. Then I noticed that the meals didn't even come with soup...that was another $1.50. Anyway, I was there, I was hungry, so I ordered an iced tea, the Kung Pao Shrimp and Chicken (extra spicy) and added a cup of wonton soup.
So, I'm sitting there...and sitting there and sitting there...thinking, "Geez, it's taking a long time to get my cup of soup. Maybe they're bringing it with the meal." Finally, the soup came out. I looked at it and thought, "What the...?" I'm sorry, but when I order wonton soup, I want wonton soup. This one had the wontons in it, but it also had strips of pork, a mushroom, a piece of broccoli, a snow pea pod, etc. While I normally like each of the added foods, I don't want that stuff in my wonton soup. It didn't taste like the wonton soup I was expecting. So, I finished that and waited some more for my entree. When it finally came, I was shocked at how small the portion was...especially for the price they charged. Here's the reason I am giving them 2 stars instead of just one: the kung pao, egg roll, crab cheese wonton, and rice were really good. Just wished it was a larger serving for the price.
As for the service, all I can say is, "Meh." They got the job done, but I felt the girl serving me didn't care. When she sat me, instead of asking what I wanted to drink, she just left to continue what she was doing when I walked in. After 7 minutes, she came back and took my drink and food order. I will say that she and the other woman working there (I'm just guessing it was the owner or manager) did keep my tea filled, but no one ever came back to check and see if everything was ok after I had gotten the food. They would walk up, fill my glass with tea, and then walk off.
So, even though the food tasted pretty good, I doubt I'll be back. There's another Chinese restaurant down the street that's just as close to me as this one, and their meals are larger, their prices are cheaper, their service is better, and their food tastes just as good to me.
