Reviews
*Update: food was just decent, wings were good, house fried rice was nothing impressive rather bland. I’ve had way better. It’s a no thanks for me.
We ordered online. It was relatively easy to place a pickup order through their website. We got a sweet-and-sour chicken combo, a General Tso’s chicken combo, and crab rangoons—our go-to order from any Chinese place. I placed the order from my phone, and my partner went inside to pick it up. They confirmed the name on the order to ensure they gave the correct one, charged my partner, and out the door he went.
When we got home, I was mortified.
We received the wrong order, which is not the mortifying part. Mistakes happen, and it could have easily been fixed if we had gone back, but we were too tired. We have a newborn, and it was our first night to catch up on sleep since bringing him home from the hospital. I also found out my partner was charged a higher price than what was quoted online, so I know he paid for everything in the bag we received.
Somehow, we ended up with a quart of fried rice, a pint of white rice, an order of what seemed to be beef and broccoli, some kind of meat on a stick, and something else that escapes my memory. Like I said, we were charged accordingly, and we normally like this kind of food from Chinese places anyway.
The beef and broccoli—the star of the horror show—was so oily and greasy that it spilled all over the bottom of the bag. The beef was so saturated in oil that it had a soggy texture, and eating the broccoli gave us stomach aches. The fried rice was decent, but it was also overpowered by grease. I didn’t try the white rice, but that’s hard to mess up, so I assume it was fine. The mysterious meat on a stick (which I believe may have been rib or chicken) was one of the only tolerable things we could eat, but it was so bland.
I will not be ordering from here again. I rated one star for both food quality and service. While the incorrect order wasn’t the main issue, they should have gotten it right in the first place, and as explained, the food was terrible. Based on other reviews, it may have just been a bad night for them, but first impressions are everything. I am opting not to rate the atmosphere since I did not go inside.
