I put an order in for 7pm online (35min away). When I arrived, @7pm, it wasn’t ready. I went next door to get a drink that was non-carbonated (because they have none) and returned to get my order at 7:08. I was handed my order and drove home. As I pulled down my street, I received a phone call saying they gave me the wrong order. I drove back to get my order and eventually got home with luke-warm food only to open the bag and find they didn’t get my order correct. The spring rolls were missing and the generals chicken didn’t translate correctly somehow and wasn’t spicy at all (as shown on the receipts pictured). The Pad Thai was mostly noodles and very little chicken. I called to tell them they did not include the spring rolls after all this trouble. She explained to me that she would refund my card. I agreed laughingly and hung up as I paid cash. What a joke?!? I came to this establishment based on the reviews and I hope this experience was a one time occurrence but we won’t be returning and I feel as if I’d be doing the community a disservice if I didn’t leave a review after I chose this restaurant based strictly on the reviews. Fortune cookie should have...
Read moreEverybody has their hole in the wall place for americanized chinese food and this is mine. I’ve been going here since I was little and one of the men working behind the counter was a teenager. We’ve moved all around St. Pete yet still make the voyage over here whenever we want chinese takeout because it’s that good. My family quite literally won’t get takeout chinese elsewhere.
We always get a lo mein, bourbon chicken, crab rangoon, and general tsos. They are consistently good and I can’t tell you the last time they’ve messed up our order or given us less than ideal food. The food and menu hasn’t changed over the years and neither has the quality. I know the place only had 4 stars, but I wholeheartedly recommend this place and will defend it to anyone. This place is a staple in my family’s life and honestly of my childhood.
The food itself is always hot and sizable portions for how much you pay. I’ve never had undercooked chicken or lo mein. The bourbon chicken is my absolute favorite and is always perfectly charred and seasoned. The general tsos is always good and...
Read moreI order from this place often enough to know when they have hired a new staff member. And usually the experience is pretty okay, but on this night the somewhat emo staff member sounded as if she didn't want to be bothered with taking my order over the phone. She told me 20-25 minutes and I waited. When I arrived, I paid and began to wait for what seemed like forever. 6 people in front of me and more coming in the door. I began to get a little upset when I had to ask her how long until my order was up only to have her look away and not acknowledge that I even spoke to her. So the 2nd time I asked she stood up, rolled her eyes and mumbled something about "I'm just waiting on them". If THIS is the best person they can find to hire then I have to say I may not return. Its the people that make the experience good or bad, not just the food. Fix her attitude and I'll...
