It was truly terrible. The fish was raw and extremely fishy smelling. Even the crispy wonton noodles we're stale. We asked if we could please have lemons for our water, and the older women serving us rudely brings over a single dried-out lemon slice on a toothpick and puts her hand with the toothpick in my husbands face. Then our food arrives looking literally like 'slop', not a typical beautiful Chinese plate, but literally like slop. The shitake's we're rotted and tasted like sour milk and the fish was completely uncooked and raw inside and EXTREMELY 'fishy' tasting and overtly fishy smelling. NOT FRESH! We then politely told the younger waitress about the fish being raw, smelly and of the rotted shitake's too and she sent the older women over to us who crudely (and loudly) challenged and questioned us. She then very rudely took the plate away loaded with the raw fish. She returns a long while later and just plops the plate back down on our table and walks away. We cut it open and it's all still very raw and very overtly fishy smelling . Disgusted, we ask for the check and she refuses to stop challenging and loudly harassing us with other diners very aware and looking on. It was outrageous. I don't think that these are the original owners because it was so extremely terrible and the food was not only not fresh, but rotted and extremely sloppily presented. We would NEVER put our health at risk again by going there. Someone could wind up getting seriously I'll eating there. Do not be fooled by the outside appearance,...
Read moreI rate this 2 on value but 4 on taste. This is your typical American Chinese takeout but at a slightly higher end scale due to the location and clientele. Everything is well done and I personally never received anything that didn't taste fresh. A great example of what Human Village II is about is their make your "own" entre which is very Dominick's of Arthur Ave like . This is where you pick your meat, up to three veggies, type of sauce, and how you want it cooked and this starts at $18 but can climb upwards of $32. They have delicious perfectly cooked non greasy egg rolls but they are $3 each. They offer higher end fares like the filet mignon with Chinese broccoli but at $30. Their Pad Thai while not authentic is one of my favorite Pad Thais of all time. Their Chow Fun with roast pork is just as good as anything in Chinatown but $17. The soup dumplings are great but are $12 and in comparison something like this in Chinatown would be $5. Again, all the food here is very good for the type of restaurant it is, but the prices are simply very high for basically takeout Chinese when for $30+ an plate you can actually go out and get an actual upscale meal. You could argue that $30 an entre isn't bad but the size of each entre really isn't...
Read moreMy colleague and I had lunch at this restaurant. To start, the tea was not complementary; charged $5 (ridiculous). When I received the bill and handed the waiter my debit card, I was told that cash payment is preferred due to Gov. Hochul legislation. If the debit card is in fact used, an additional 3.5% surcharge would be added. Since I had no cash, I agreed to the 3.5% surcharge. The waiter later told me that he could not accept the debit card because the transaction was under $30. I reiterated that I had no cash. I was later informed to use the bank next door to withdraw cash. Totally unacceptable!! I reluctantly withdrew cash and was subsequently charged a convenience fee at the bank. Food was mediocre; not worth the price tag. If you do not want to get ripped off…don’t go to...
