I used to come to this location quite frequently in the early 1990s when the food was superb! All the tables had tablecloths, the service and food were fantastic! From 2006 to 2012, I will get takeout from here at least once a month when Dan owned the place, Szechuan Delight. Food and service were still fantastic! I knew the servers and they treated me very well. Since then, when the place became Jasa, it all went downhill.

After not eating there for a couple of years because the food wasn’t as good as it used to be, I decided to give Jasa another chance this evening.

The place was about half full, and I was disappointed that only booths were available. No more tablecloths on the tables, no more tables with chairs. There was no hostess by the front door to greet me, I had to wait for the server (apparently she was the only server on this busy Friday night), so I understood why the service was subsequently slow.

A bowl of very greasy, cold fried wontons appeared on my table, along with a solo plastic mini container for duck sauce.

I am accustomed to automatically getting a pot of hot green or black tea with the wontons, it was never offered. No plain or iced water was offered, either.

First course, I ordered the hot and sour soup. It was OK, but a little too thick for my taste. Thick enough to taste the corn starch!

Potstickers were my choice for second course. They, too, were just OK...definitely not like the potstickers used to be at this location...and half the size! The accompanying sauce was rather bland, with no chopped scallions as a garnish. I had to ask for chopsticks!

For the main course, I ordered Mushu pork, which is a childhood favorite of mine. When it finally arrived to my table with a small bowl of white rice, I asked the server, “Where are the pancakes?” She pointed to the small butter plate that was covered with plastic wrap. On top of the plastic wrap, was yet another solo mini plastic container holding the hoisin sauce. Under the plastic wrap, was what looked like toilet tissue folded in quarters. The plate was hot, but the fake folded pancakes were absolutely cold! I was expecting round thin pancakes, similar to crêpes. I found a picture of Mandarin pancakes on Google, and I showed the server what the pancakes are supposed to look like. She shook her head and said, we don’t do that here. I said, “this is no good.“ This ruined my dinner.

I did not have a good experience at this place tonight, the server did very little to help make amends, and the food was less than adequate. I have no intentions of eating here again.
