| - I have to state that I'm hard on Chinese food because I've had plenty of delicious gourmet, authentic Chinese food in the bay area, LA, and China.
Let me set the stage with a couple words: No chopsticks.
This restaurant caters to non Asians, which is fine for some people but not my style. How can a Chinese restaurant not have chopsticks in their place settings? If you're looking for delicious and authentic, this is not the place. If you're looking for a Panda Express equivalent in a nicer restaurant setting that serves alcohol, then this is it.
The decor is fun in a stereotypical Chinese decor way.
Service is pretty good in the sense that the waiters/waitresses are very polite and nice, but I was waiting for long periods of time multiple times during my one dining experience.
Arrived at 6:30pm, 15-20 min wait for a table, 20 min wait for food, 10 min wait for my food to be packaged up. Ok...wait for table is normal for a busy place like this, wait for food was a little too long, wait for the packaging of my left overs was plain ridiculous. I'm guessing they were too busy for their own good and that's why it took so long.
Why is this place so busy and why does it get so much press? NO IDEA. It boggles my mind. There are better take out places and sit down restaurants in the world of Chinese food in the Phoenix/Mesa area.
