Update: it’s the next day and we now have food poisoning. If I could leave 0 stars I would. This place is awful. Do not eat there!! Our food immediately smelled off when we opened our plates. As broke teenagers who spent the last of their money to eat here, we chose to just give them the benefit of the doubt and eat it. The broccoli was terrible, the noodles were neon yellow, they served us undercooked chicken and the sprite even tasted off. We had over half a full plate left of food. As soon as we saw the undercooked chicken, I decided to ask for a refund as the whole meal was a disaster. The manager said that since we had “already eaten it” she wasn’t going to refund us. I told her that we are not the type of people to complain just to get our money back, we just genuinely were not satis

Hey Manager! Please train your employees to prioritize the customers who actually took the time to drive all the way to your restaurant. We don't have unlimited time to wait for lunch. Also, please try to explain how important it is to greet your customers. Even when there is going to be a delay. A simple, "Hi, we'll be with you in just a minute." goes a long way. This is not an isolated incident. Rather, it is a clear pattern that has been getting worse over the last two years or so, at this location. This is a great restaurant to visit if you are desperate to be ignored. And even better if you would like to witness the speed and efficiency with which this store prepares their to-go orders, to the exclusion of the customers standing in line.

Picked up a takeout order and everything was fresh and tasty. Fast service, good portions, and overall a solid experience.

I eat here every other day and am very familiar with the usual portion sizes. Today, the portion I received was significantly smaller than normal. When I asked about it, I was told “that’s the portion,” which I know is not accurate based on my frequent visits. It was clear they did not want to prepare more food because of the lunch rush, which is unacceptable. On top of that, there is a serious safety issue in the men’s restroom. A broken porcelain fixture has sharp edges, and I nearly cut my finger. This is a hazard that needs immediate attention. Between the inconsistent portions and the unsafe restroom conditions, this experience was disappointing and concerning. Management needs to address both customer service and basic safety standards.

Worst meal I’ve had in Boulder… twice. Do yourself a favor, and just don’t. They said they had a new ‘Spicy’ orange chicken dish, and it was an insane amount of crushed red peppers rubbed into the orange chicken. I tried to pull them out, but it was impossible and disgusting.
