First time at a China A Go Go. This one seems good enough! I went twice in two days. =)
It was super-clean inside. As soon as someone left, a worker would clean-up their table. Also, some of the "workers" seemed to be kids in the family. I'm used to that in Asian restaurants, and I think it's good. Mom and pop FTW.
I ordered first mapo tofu, which in this case is not totally veggie, but the fine print mentions pork. I could've asked them to leave it out. Plenty of white rice was included.
The next day, I ordered a lunch special. Way more affordable than the strip, and I feel like my money helps a family (mostly).
I also met another customer who said he's known the owners for 20 years and goes to this China A Go Go even though he lives across town. Good sign!
They have a soda machine; a drink is $2 w/refills.
Last, but not least, this is right next door to a great dessert place, Pineapple Park. That place has really great, affordable desserts, including dole whip soft serve (and in other flavors!), and Thrifty ice...
Read moreAfter being told to not buy anything from this restaurant. I did. Mind you this is one of their other locations however. I don’t take the perspective of others when it comes to dining. Sure they can tell me “they were in dirty dining.” But that only leads me to think that if anyone ever went to New York they would starve themselves looking for an A rated grade restaurant.
With the being said. I must say that the consistency of their food in this location is also much alike as the Last location I went to. So regardless if this restaurant ever had a “lower.” Grade the food is still phenomenal. It takes courage to remain open after being blasted for health code and if China A go-Go survived it you can survive eating here too.
And in New York! Other than that. Never let peoples personal perspective of a restaurant try it out. Even if it...
Read moreI use to order delivery from the China A Go Go on the Windmill location all the time. I loved it. I also ordered catering from that place whenever I have office parties. Everything there was friendly, portions generous, and food great. This location? Not so much. Rude, stand off-ish, and the portions are a lot smaller. Ordered from them three times. The restaurant got mad at me when I accidentally made the delivery person wait 5 minutes for me to get home. And the third time when I called for delivery, they try to say there's a minimum amount I have to order in order for them to deliver when there was never such a thing at the other location and wasn't such policy the first two times I ordered. Horrible. Too bad because I tip 20% literally all the time because I work in the service...
