1st order here. Ordered General TAo's Chicken. They asked if I wanted it with vegetables or deep fried. Chose deep fried. Dish is in general described/known as a crisp breaded chicken pieces in a sweet tangy sauce. The dish I received was total MUSH breaded chicken, not AT ALL crispy, and nor any sense of 'sweet' with the tangy. Mine order being the 'deep fried', I can not fathom stomaching the MUSH breading that would suround the non deep fried order. This dish being one of the 10-12 'Chef's Specialty' dish offerings - headlining the menu, it leaves very little confidence in what would be expected of the 30-40 other menu offerings - outside what they would consider outside their chef's specialties. Photo'd is roughly the portion remaining I won't eat.

Please start checking how cooked your boba is before you give to customers! The boba teas are a favorite but I have now had ones that have ranged from overcooked to completely undercooked. In the attached photo you can see just how undercooked my boba was (and I ate most of it), but for those who haven’t ever eaten raw boba it is like eating balls of chalk - horrible.

This restuarant has been here for decades now. Been on the front page of the union tribute in 1996. The food is great honestly my Chinese Grandfather would've loved it. The style, is traditional, waitresses are very servicable. I loved it 😁👍

This is for delivery only. And never order from these people.

I called up, placed my order and was told that it would be 45 minutes.

It took a little under 90. When I got my food, it was cold and the delivery driver left without offering me any change.

When I got inside, my food was cold and the order was wrong.

I called up and was told the only way I could get a refund would be to drive all the way down there and back. And I had better have a "complete" order.

I did this. When I got there, the woman made me wait again to get my money back and then she very closely examined all the food to make sure I hadn't dared to eat anything to make up for the 45 minute drive there and back through traffic.

I got my money back and then the driver was very threatening and said I had better not say he...

Bad food, worse service

They were obviously busy when I called in my order, but that's not an excuse for being rude on the phone, which they were both times I called.

The person on the phone rushed off the phone - food that arrived was not the correct dishes. As I am not a picky eater I was going to go with it, but all food that did arrive was bland, inconsistently cooked (cold in some areas, warm in others).

When I called back to explain that I didn't have the right food, at first the person explained that I did have the right food. When I described what I had she admitted "oh it looks like the kitchen made the wrong thing." When I asked if they would send the right food she simple stated "No - we...
