Another great surprise. My friend mentioned this place in a conversation and so while I was running around with another friend we happen to be right around there and I suggested it and I'm so glad I did! Walked right in and sat down. Service was A+. I could not stop drinking the tea you know how I love the tea when it's good tea and this was good tea. Tried the potstickers the only thing that was wrong with those was that I had to share them LOL. This friend and I thoroughly enjoyed those. And that little sauce that comes with them was great. My friend had the orange chicken and they said it was fantastic I did taste the sauce and I was like wow that's a real orange sauce LOL. I know it's weird to sound surprised about an orange sauce that tasted like an orange sauce but you know what I'm talking about. This actually seemed like it had orange zest. Fresh orange zest. Yum. I tried the jalapeno chicken. I didn't even want to swallow it I just wanted to keep it in my mouth and play with it across my tongue. Okay that was Major but it was really that good. I already know I'm coming back and it's going to be really hard for me not to have that jalapeno chicken. The lunch special was just under $10 and that came with the soup, fried rice and tea. Fried rice was not any different than most places that include fried rice in the meal. I always put the ginger sauce, or the sauce that comes with the potstickers on the fried rice and it pumps up the volume. The egg roll that we were expecting was more of a spring roll, don't know if that's just what happens at lunch or if that's actually what they consider an egg roll. Either way it was very good. We both had the egg drop soup. Loved it. A bit thicker than most, the way I think it should be. Food could have been a little bit hotter. Just a personal preference. But overall a great meal. I already put it in my calendar for the next...

Horrible experience!!! We had questions about the movie and were told to reference the pictures that didn't help at all. Finally placed our order. I suppose it's hard for staff to keep up with our order when the two women working the front kept switching on who our waitress was. We had to keep reminding them what we ordered and what was missing. The food was okay except the whites in the egg drop soup that was ordered was green and black! The younger waitress made sure that both men (my husband and roommate) at our table had plenty of refills on their drinks and never once offered or just simply refilled mine. Brought our to go boxes when we asked but when she brought them, leaned across me to put them on the opposite corner of the table and dropped the bag to put them in on my plate of food I was wanting to take home. Then shoves the bill literally in my face. I hand the bill to our roommate, we packaged our food and she brings him his change. Then stands right in front of him where we can't move saying "where's my tip?!" It took everything all three of us has not to go off on her!!!! You don't give subpar service and demand a tip!!! I definitely believe in tipping your servers, you automatically budget that into your outing. But in this instance, a tip was differently not earned!!!! Not to mention the three parties waiting to sit down were told all of their tables were full and they were to wait at the door when there were exactly 3 tables unavailable in that room!! I felt bad for their poor customer service from the start. NEVER GOING...
