| - I've never given a restaurant one star before. I would actually give it a quarter star but my son did like his tom yum soup broth. Note, broth only.
Sunday dinner, which is usually nice. Decided to try someplace new for Chinese food, as Madtown has so few good choices and we had not had any in a while.
We had four dishes and soup. All were pretty bad.
Crab Rangoon - soft wontons through, very little filling, greasy on bottom. Served with so little sauce it was very noticeable.
Five flavor beef - so full of gristle it was almost inedible. We picked around gristle to at least give it a chance. Flavor was just ok, green inion on plate was slimy.
Cold chicken in chili sauce. Looked thrown together. Smothered in chili oil. Slimy mess, although the chicken seemed fresh as I was lucky and got a pin feather in mine. (Note - I don't want to know if it was NOT a pin feather.)
Pork with mustard noodles. Pork was very gamey in an unpleasant way. Bland otherwise. Gelatinous. Noodles were slimy and way over cooked.
My hot and sour soup was a greasy gelatinous mess.
I hate to say it, but the common adjectives of most of the dishes were "greasy", "slimy", over-oily, or "gelatinous", nine if which were in a good way.
Will avoid this place. Recommend you do too.
Sad, as we really hoped for a good Chinese place.
Oops - almost forgot - and the prices were high end for Chinese food, in an environment that was also greasy. Ah well.
