We were reluctant to go there but given we have limited time, we went back there and don't have high hopes, service was slow and below average, server neglect to give us the lunch special menu until we had to ask.
We ordered 3 lunch specials, chicken with BBQ sauce rice plate, Taiwanese popcorn chicken rice plate and ground beef oysters sauce with rice lunch special. All 3 dish claims they come with ice lemon tea, you would think being a cafe style restaurant they would brew their own, no it's a store bought nasty taste bottle lemon tea that can give you diabetes!!!
When the dish arrived, we couldn't believe it is this bad 1) portion size is average issue, very small stingy amount of protein, all their meat has a heavy taste of baking soda, the chicken suppose to be chunks according to menu description but when we got it, it's like ground chicken meat cut into irregular pieces and sizes not to mention there is enough grease to lubricate your car!!! The oystern sauce ground beef over rice was so little, it's like missing half the order of ground beef and definitely taste the heavy use of baking soda!! The food was so bad we ate half and pack things to go. When we got the bill we notice $3.50 charge for tea!!! We didn't order dimsum nor is this a dimsum restaurant why are we charge for tea, not to mention it is not even tea bags instant tea or tea leaf brewed tea. They had a big pot dispenser and gave us a pot. We are extremely disappointed with this place, they are ripping people off with tea charges and we constantly hear sound from kitchen chopping sound, probably more meat are getting chopped to irregular shapes, some piece of chicken I ate are smaller then crumbs, it's ridiculous. No matter how convenient this location is, we will not be going back. If we can give negative stars we would gladly...
Read moreMy wife and I have been searching for good chinese food in Elk Grove and this place HITS THE SPOT! We ordered a smattering of different things, including: roasted duck on rice, minced pork, tea boiled eggs, rice wrapper with beef, spring rolls and veggies. The roasted duck flavor was amazing and it was so moist! The minced pork was flavored just right and not overly-salty; it perfectly complimented the rice. The tea boiled eggs were brought in the shells and they tasted soooo good, though the eggs did stick to the shell more than I would have liked. rice wrapper with beef was a great addition as an appetizer to the meal and the spring rolls were fried to perfection; crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. The broccoli was also steamed perfectly, not soggy and not too firm. I couldn't stop talking about this meal at the table. I ordered online during lunch time and it was ready within 20 minutes, even with a full restaurant inside. SUPER impressed with how this restaurant's quality of food and attention to detail and care. I would absolutely recommend...
Read moreNewly opened Chinese Cafe in town. I’m happy because People in town now have more choice for their meal. And I always support local business. They offer lots of common Chinese dishes and Milk tea too. Customer service is OK. They make me feel welcomed. However, they forgot to prepare our table with chopsticks and spoons, but it’s understandable since they’re new so there’s lot to catch up with. Food quality is good. Price is acceptable. However, the meat marinated is way too salty. The beef in chowfun and the meat filling in wonton is really salty. If they could reduce the saltiness in the meat. It would be perfect. The rice roll with shrimp and egg is a MUST try. I will definite come back to try roast duck and BBQ Pork. I haven’t had a chance to try ‘m out today since we are...
