They accomplished something nearly impossible: made me not enjoy a Chinese meal.
The waits are typically stupid. When you finally have a seat, service SUCKS. We even went when the joint was half empty and it was impossible to get any attention to order and to get the check as servers were too busy chatting.
Worse yet, the food isn't even that great. The turnip cakes were really good. Everything else is greasy, heavy and bland (albeit far too salty). Everything is fried which gets tiring. Some fried chicken dish had thighs that resembled jerky. Garoupa was rife with bones.
So:
- It's Chinese food.
- It's not particularly good Chinese food.
- You'll be treated like crap.
- Your stomach will feel like crap.
