I like to eat a whole lot. I had my ex girlfriend buy everything for me because I had no job the entire time I knew her. I still don’t have a job because I’m lazy. This food she bought me from here was fire ?

12-25-2023First time visit. They were extremely busy on Christmas day. The wait was about 45 minutes for order to be made.Their restaurant is tucked in the corner of a plaza. They had about 7 or 8 tables. The inside really needs a total refresh. It's very tired and old. The photos for dishes on the wall are so faded you can barely tell what's in the dish.I ordered the sesame chicken and egg rollsWife had sesame chicken and crab rangoon.The sesame chicken was average in flavor. The chicken was good. The portion size was very good.The pork egg rolls were the smallest I've ever had from a Chinese restaurant. The flavor was average. I did encounter some gristle in one of the egg rolls from the pork.The fried rice was decent.Overall I would say this was simply an average meal, and nothing stood out as rich in flavor or memorable.Based on other reviews, those who are rating the actual food are giving more realistic star averages. It seems those who are rating how nice the people are who own it give much higher star averages, even though they do say the food is average.

12-25-2023 First time visit. We had flown in for a vacation earlier in the day. They were extremely busy on Christmas day. I was quite amazed at how many online orders were coming in. When one comes in, it announces out loud a online order was placed. I think that's a very smart idea. While sitting there I heard at least 15 online orders come in. They do also have a drive thru. The wait was about 45 minutes for the order to be made. They did make everyone aware of the wait time. Their restaurant is tucked in the corner of a plaza. They had about 7 or 8 tables. The inside really needs a total refresh. It's very tired and old. The photos for dishes on the wall are so faded you can barely tell what's in the dish. I ordered the sesame chicken and pork egg rolls. Wife had sesame chicken and crab rangoon. The sesame chicken was average in flavor. The chicken was good. There was plenty of sauce in the sesame chicken, just not rich in flavor. The portion size was very good. My wife commented that the portion size is enough for two meals. The pork egg rolls were the smallest I've ever had from a Chinese restaurant. The flavor was average. I did encounter some gristle in one of the egg rolls from the pork. The fried rice was decent. Overall, I would say this was simply an average meal, and nothing stood out as rich in flavor or memorable. Based on other reviews, those who are rating the actual food are giving more realistic star averages. It seems those who are rating how nice the people are who own it give much higher star averages, even though they do say the food is average. The staff was very nice and helpful, and extremely efficient.
