  • Decided to give such highly reviewed Americanized Asian food for once and immediately regretted it. "Why not give it a try," we thought to ourselves. Everyone knows it's not "authentic," but people are saying that the food is delightful. I ordered a sweet and sour pork, friend ordered the General Tso's, both lunch specials. We both opened our small boxes (I guess the size fits the price) and found, on the left side, a bunch of meat chunks smothered in sauce, and some white rice on the right side. Only difference was that sweet and sour was bright red, while General Tso's was brownish orange. Two tiny sad pieces of broccoli in the latter and some onion and bell pepper pieces drowned in the former. "Okay... well maybe it'll taste good despite its appearance," we thought. We each took a bite of both, followed by self-reflecting thoughts on what sins we committed recently to be subjected to such painful karma. We literally could not even tell the difference between the chicken and the pork. On the outside there was no crispiness; on the inside the meat was hard and stringy instead of tender. The worst part were the sauces. They were disgustingly dense and heavy, both too sweet and overwhelming. It was a miracle that we could even taste the differences between the two. So here we were, trying to stomach these chunks of "meat" lavishly dressed in two types of sauce. We couldn't take any bite without accompanying it without rice. Oh right, the rice. It was so obviously western style rice that it wasn't funny. You would think that they would at least get Asian rice to go with their dishes, but nope. The wonton soup didn't help things either. The soup tasted completely of MSG, and the wontons were mostly hard pieces of flour skins with a tidbit of meat inside. Lovely. The place itself is dirty and revolting. The floors, the counters, the signs, the trash can, the out of order soda machine. You would think the owners could put some effort into making the place look better, but nope. I guess it's to cater to those loyal customers who have grown up on this "food" for more of a homely feel. Seriously, stay as far away from this place as possible. Unless you are homeless or a broke college student (or just like eating loads of sauce), nearby Sichuan Gourmet and Rose Tea are undoubtedly better choices.
