So instead of going to subway (my first choice) I decided to take him where he likes.\n\nWe've eaten here more than a few times. Once was even close to closing time, and they happily made fresh items as they were out of a few things. Today when we get there, they were not busy at all and as usual for a slow time, not all the items were full. No biggie, I know they'll make more if need be, but it's always kind of weird to see a huge pan only half/quarter full of items.\n\nMy son had the Orange chicken with chow mein and I had Orange chicken, kung pao and fried rice.\n\nThe rice and chow mein were good. My kung pao chicken had something burnt in it. I couldn't tell want was burnt, but I could taste it. I finished my orange chicken, which seemed really dry this time, and took a bite of my son's. I had to spit the whole piece out, it still had a huge section of bone in it. The sweet and sour sauce seemed watered down.\n\nAs we were finishing up eating, my 11 y/o son looks at me and says \"dang dad, chop chop has really gone down hill\", I had to agree with him.\n\nI'm not sure if this was just an off day for them, or if it was just the slow lunch hour, but I'll likely think twice before I spend money here again."^^ . .
