Tldr. If you're a fan of authentic Asian food, there are plenty of other places. This is not it. If you are just hungry and want a combo meal that offers a bit more than a takeout, this is your place.
We entered without reservation at 6pm on a Thursday night, the place is filled with elderly folks, right away, this is a dead giveaway of the flavoring of the dishes (if you don't get it, it means everything is sweet and sugary).
Got a table fairly quickly, the servers were nice and attentive, we each took a different combo, it came with a small vegetable soup, lukewarm with uncooked veggies (can I even say half-blanched?)

Honestly, everything was very blend, very light flavor, overcooked chicken, even the peanut butter sauce seemed like it was dilute in water.
We also asked for more veggies in the soup and they refused or pay 4$ for a little bit of extra veggies but not even more type of veggies, just the same (4 pieces of mushrooms, 1 slice of tomato).
The noodles with the general Tao were all sticking together.
We had it to go, so maybe they weren't used to it so I really don't...
