Dumplings and wontons were the most disgusting thing I’ve tried in years. If flavorless was a cuisine, it would be their food. Way too much breading and also tastes frozen. Any type of chicken you get is absolutely disgusting, not even edible. Tried this place more than three times and disappointed every single time. Do not go here for the life of you. The place itself inside looks vile. The floors and walls haven’t seen a mop since it opened probably. I don’t even want to know the state of their kitchen.

Not great but will do in a pinch. A deep cleaning wouldn't hurt.

I don't think I got a proper receipt. It just had the total. Didn't tell me what my tax or tip was. The store front was dirty, dingy, disheveled, in poor repair and overall - outdated. Coating of dust on the walls. Which makes me think the kitchen probably isn't clean either. I get the feeling from the front room that they just don't care. I got pork, lo mein and spring rolls. The spring rolls were good but I've had better frozen from a store. I'm not sure what the long green things were in the lo mein. They resembled string beans except they looked dehydrated and rehydrated.

DO NOT believe any of the reviews raving about their food. Everyone who loves the food here is unseasoned asfk.The most bland food I’ve ever had. Seriously. Literally. Like actually. Like nooo capAnd the staff is mad aggressive like why you raising your voice cause I asked for duck sauce gang? Ain’t dis yo job??Vegetarian options: They have decent unseasoned vegetarian options

Ok food, but they charge 7.35% sales tax when CT is only 6.35%. Pretty shady way to make a little more money.

Food made my stomach hurt and when I got my food he counted the money in front of me at my door. I tipped him $3 an he kept asking me for a tip, again. Then tried to talk under his breath while leaving because I said no. Don’t come here.

ow. I've never left a bad review before but I'm about to. This is just the worst customer experience I ever experienced. They were out of something I ordered online which is completely understandable that kind of thing happens. But when they called I said "ok no problem but we have a food allergy (I had called earlier to make sure that would be ok and left notes in the app) that we would either need a refund or something vegetarian without celery, I was told they don't have anything else without celery and I said ok fine then we can't eat it and just refund it no big deal. They don't know how to refund it. Ok understandable apps are kinda bs I get that but I still can't eat what you want me to pay for. So they offered me 2$ worth of steamed broccoli instead of the 10$ app I ordered and when I said that doesn't work for us it will just go uneaten (btw I had to hand my phone to someone with a man's voice to even get that because I was told to take chicken fingers or shut up) was told they don't want to serve us never order from there again (which I won't). So I asked to cancel the whole order. Which I was told no I was being charged (including the l absent app). So if you want to gobble up sexist junk food that doesn't care about their customers I'm behind you but if that bothers you I would seek elsewhere. There are plenty of local establishments that are more kind and understanding. I can't help not being able to eat something and I'm reasonable or at least I try to be. I'm willing to take a refund or at least something I can actually eat or want. When they refused I said cancel the order and they wouldn't, I'm happy to take my patronage elsewhere where they are able to accommodate. They refused and charged me anyway This isn't a place where they give a crap. If you have legit food allergies or a conscious just pass and get something from a local place that does care. So many great local places that are willing to be understanding. I called ahead, I looked up recipes, I did everything that's on my plate to make this not their problem. I tried to explain my situation. I tried to be reasonable. I'm honestly hurt they decided that because I can't and I don't want to be treated like I owe them because I simply can't use what they wanted me too and didn't have what I ordered and did everything on my end to not make things their problem that I'm the issue. Don't order here. It's not worth it.

NEE NE

Food always arrives piping hot like it's straight out of the kitchen. Ordering and delivering is straightforward, simple, and to the point, saves me a lot of time and energy, and it's a nice price for a quick dinner in the barracks
