Sad to say we were quite disappointed. Had read a number of ppl recommending Ocean City, but we don't really understand y. Only thing we can think of is that they're recommendations from locals who need to venture out of their area n experience restaurants elsewhere more?! Restaurant ambience/atmosphere is dated n not nice, n it's the first time in my life ever.. in any type of restaurant... that I've ever eaten off plastic plates (similar to what kids eat off) n they're not in great condition either.

Read moreShocking customer service. We ordered a meal to celebrate our anniversary. I ordered fried rice. Chic chow min, and sweet n sour pork. The girl said ' is that large?'

I phoned and the girl was rude saying that's what written down so that's what I said. I said why would I want half a ltr of sauce? We went back a a male came out saying the same thing..I repeated to him tell me why I would need thst sauce. He then said do you want the pork I said yes thinking he would maybe comp it for all the wrong..but no he charged me....shocking and rude service...We had microwaved Chinese for dinner as ours was cold due to having to go...
