My boss decided to take two of my coworkers and myself to this Chinese restaurant for lunch when he saw that it had opened up near our work. When we got there it looked promising until the server gave us our menus.
We looked at the lunch menu and saw that the General Chicken was not part of it. We asked if we could get that in a lunch portion and the server (seemed like he might have some sort of stake in the business) said in a snotty tone, "no, the lunch menu is what it is. You can get the General chicken as a dinner dish if you like."
We then asked if we could sub in fried rice for the white rice and he responded "No, we don't sub in fried rice. You can buy an extra plate of that, which was over 7 dollars." Most Asian restaurants that I've been to will sub fried rice at an extra buck.
This probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal had the server not been so rude and nasty to us. He also reached over the table, over our food, to grab our water glasses to fill them up, when he could have easily went around without reaching. I also noticed him cutting the lemons for drinks bare handed and on the bar counter. Won't be getting any lemons in my drink here, if I come back.
They also brought out one of my coworkers dishes out before the rest of ours. Took them ten minutes to bring the other three dishes out for the rest of us.
As for how the food tasted, to sum it all up it wasn't very good. The fried rice with shrimp, beef, and chicken had no flavor. It tasted like they through some brown rice in with some meat and vegetables and decided that is what fried rice was supposed to be. The General chicken was way to sweet. Tasted like they put too much ginger in the sauce. My coworkers Kung Pao chicken was overcooked and over salted. By the way, we got three dishes of the General chicken and everyone that got that dish said the same thing.
Overall summary of the place, I felt I could go to Panda Express and get the same thing for six dollars. Much cheaper than the 15 dollars a person it cost to eat at this establishment. Needless to say, because of the terrible service and flavorless food I won't be coming back to this restaurant anytime soon. I have a feeling others won't either as the one other customer that did come in, walked out because of how their menu was set up.
