| - This is so sad... I went for the first time today, and I REALLY wanted to like this place. The couple working there were very nice, the inside was sparse and clean, with a few lovely potted plants, all great! Then I actually tasted the food and I was so disappointed. I ordered crab Rangoon (they call it cheese crab wonton or something like that) and they were over cooked and hard and had very little stuffing, and what was there was kind of separated into an oil and yellowy blobs. I've eaten a lot of crab Rangoon and never had it separated that way. I ordered steamed dumplings, and the dough on the dumplings was probably five times as thick as anywhere else, leading to an impossibly sticky dumpling that I actually choked on at one point trying to swallow, which makes saying that they were too large and misshapen seem almost inconsequential. I ordered chicken and broccoli, but I got beef (I think?) and broccoli. The sauce was very bland, there were almost no spices. I also ordered house special lo mein but I couldn't even bring myself to look at it yet. None of the ingredients seemed fresh, there were obvious kind of dead spots in the broccoli. I don't really understand what went wrong here, but I won't be giving it another go. Even the pre-packed fortune cookies were terrible, they taste like cardboard! I don't understand how the place has a four star review. :(
