| - My biggest problem with this place: horrendous service, even for a Chinese restaurant. Came on a weeknight, after the dinner rush. It was less than half fill, and plenty of wait staff.
Let's start with the good:
Food was pretty good, slightly above average for typical Chinese restaurant prices.
Orders came out quickly (which is to be expected, as most dishes don't require much time).
Meal came with dessert, which was a nice touch! And that's pretty much the end of the good.
The bad:
Every single request during dinner had to be repeated. Asked for two bowls of rice when the dishes came out. Asked again when we didn't get any and we're part way through munching. Asked a third time when still nothing came out. Strike one.
Their chicken with ginger and green onion oil was SALTY. Might have been a bad batch of marinating, but the amount of salt in that was enough for another chicken. Strike two.
Flagged a waiter down to get the bill and take out boxes. Waiter acknowledged (made eye contact, nodded) but then never came. Strike 3.
Asked for a pot of hot water instead of tea. Still came back with a pot of tea. Strike 4.
Incompetent cashier. Went to pay cash on a $50 something bill with $70 to get change back for tips. Cashier emphasizes that there is no tips included in the bill. (Please note, to pay $70, there has to be bills that add up to $50). Explained to cashier that we only wanted four $5 bills back to pay tips. Cashier still does not understand. It honestly should not be this hard to pay for a meal. BIG strike 5.
In all, even if the food was decent, it was too much work and much too frustrating for it to be worth my time. There are plenty of equally good restaurants in the area.
