I ate here twice. After the first time the food was so awful I swore to never eat there again. However after 9pm there aren't many open restaurants nearby me so I went again out of desperation. I think it was worse the second time. I order tofu (bean curd) with szechuan sauce and chicken lo mein. The tofu was dry, hard and shriveled up like it was at least a day old and there were just like 4 tiny slivers of chicken in the lo mein and both were bland and tasteless. Do yourself a favor and go to dimsum mania or Tom's Dimsum in Downtown Media instead. And if it's after 9, I think you'll be better off starving or make yourself a peanut butter sandwich or something. I guess the staff is friendly enough but they seem to constantly be yelling at each other back there in the kitchen. Also it's your standard hole in the wall joint with a few chairs meant just for waiting not dining in (don't recommend it). Oh and it was rather expensive for a small lo mein and a...

I ordered a spicy shrimp and broccoli. One of two things I eat from Chinese food stores (the other is shrimp Lo Mein). I asked for no MSG and not too greasy. A minute later, they told me they couldn't do the no MSG because it's already in the sauce. I appreciated the honesty, but I was disappointed. A real chef can make a sauce quickly from scratch in a fully functioning restaurant kitchen. The main cook shared his knowledge of food allergies. #respect I told him continue to cook it. They did their best (I guess), but the food, I'll give it a 3/10. Then, an hour later I was nodding in and out of consciousness from the food. That's not what I needed.
I respect the honesty, but the quality and taste is not what I'm accustomed to. That honesty and concern earned them...
Read moreNot terrible... Tried this place the other night; Only ordered four things. I found that every item was bland tasting. The seaweed salad was "served" on a bed of iceberg lettuce. (?) Bland, with no sesame seeds or red pep. Had to add those and some roasted sesame seed oil to make it appetizing. The Hot and Sour soup, also bland and much more watery than any other place I've tried. The Mixed Chinese Vegetables were okay, but mostly broccoli and again, a little bland. Finally the Chicken w/ Chinese Eggplant combo was bland and half the container was the pork fried rice which was also bland, nearly pork-less and the rice was under-cooked. And the accompanying egg roll...almost entirely cabbage and wrapper. Too many other GOOD Chinese places in the area... I would...
