I don't like giving negative reviews, but our food was so over cooked the noodles were mush. Even the imitation crab meat was mush. Absolutely the worst Asian food I've ever had.

I love Chinese food. But this was sad. My sesame seed chicken was watery and left a really bad after taste in my mouth . My egg rolls smelled sour, and the cheese wonton were more greasy than what they were supposed to be . It was dripping grease. I will not be returning here, and this experience has definitely turned me away from Chinese food for a while.

I give the portion a 5 and taste a 3, so we’ll call this one a 4 overall. Got the orange chicken for lunch. Wasn’t great and wasn’t terrible, but I’ve had better from the mall. The portion size may not look like a lot, but it was packed in there, probably enough for two meals. I’d be willing to go again and try something else on the menu.

My usual place was closed so I decided to try them as they’re close by. Not normally a picky person and very seldom leave a review but this was absolutely the worst Chinese I’ve ever eaten. Everything tasted old. Even the rice. Gen pso chicken was dry and rubbery and there was no doctoring it up. (I tried) Even the noodles in the Mai fun tasted old and was off colored. Geez…. Egg roll wasn’t very good either. I will never eat there again. Service was good and friendly

Staff was friendly, atmosphere was clean. I ordered the Sesame Chicken with fried rice and two egg rolls with a side of sweet and sour. The chicken was not fully cooked! It was inedible. I thought it tasted horribly and I cut open and looked at all the pieces. You could taste the raw flour breading and the chicken itself was not thoroughly cooked. The rice was okay, but oily. The egg rolls tasted dried out. Like the filling was not fresh. I was surprised how bad everything was. Chinese food is one of my favorites. I very rarely have had bad takeout. Except for Panda Express (yuck). This is probably just as bad. I would say that it's a personal taste preference, but the chicken was clearly raw, so that's a big no no in my opinion.
