Ordered Gen Tso's Chicken, Pork Fried Rice, 4 "egg rolls" (they were actually spring rolls though listed as egg rolls) and Sweet & Sour chicken. $25 bucks. Had to be purchased individually...utterly ridiculous for a Chinese food restaurant with no dinner combo/specials.
NOTHING, I mean N-O-T-H-I-N-G TASTED like it should. Never thought you could mess up Gen Tso's. The breading and aroma smelled OLD on both orders. I reluctantly took a few spoonfuls and just threw it out. "Egg" rolls were just pastry skins fried in the shape of a spring roll. Nothing inside them. Pork fried rice had pieces of under cooked pork with fatty parts and tendons...ughh GROSS.
To think this was recommended to me by a local. My wife and I are now sick to our stomachs with the very little we ate.
Want Chinese? Go Panda Express. There's a reason why they are a franchise. What drives a successful business that brings repeat customers? It's called flavor, quality and consistency. I'm all about supporting local business, but I'm never going back there.
P.S. I'm an aquarium hobbyist. I saw, in their establishment, about 5 to 6 full grown Koi fish over a foot long each swimming in a small 35 gallon aquarium. That's cruelty. Just cruel..those...
Read moreThe service was decent once they spotted me at the front, it took a few minutes for someone to notice me waiting there. Atmosphere is definitely the hole-in-the-wall vibe. If this place had good food it wouldn't be an issue, it's clean and presentable just not picture worthy. You wouldn't take your mom or a first date here unless the food was spectacular, which it isn't. The food was mediocre at best. You can get more flavor for the same price at a Panda Express. Fried rice was bland, no veggies or eggs in it it's just rice. Needed a lot of soy sauce to be decent. Same with the chow mein, the side dishes are low effort. There was barely any filling in the egg rolls, very disappointed. The steamed vegetables were just plain steamed broccoli, probably frozen, no seasoning added. Great if you're on a diet but if I'm on a diet Im not ordering chinese takeout yk. There wasn't even salt on them, I had to add a lot of soy sauce to give flavor. Teriyaki chicken and the BBQ beef were average at best, nothing noteworthy. Decent portion...
Read moreJust ordered food from here. Ordered chicken with broccoli and beef with broccoli with a side of rice. They completely messed this up.
After getting the food all bagged up, I get it to work only to open the bag and find 2-3 dead gnats and 4-5 flying gnats in the bag that flew out. I opened the box and didn't see gnats but after pulling off the skin of the chicken there was a small parasitic worm crawling.
I called the owner of the restaurant and told them what I found and they refused to acknowledge the issue and flat out told me, "there are no refunds, no exceptions!"
This will be reported to the Arizona Dept of Health Services as well as reviewed in every platform and I will be showing these photos and sharing my experience with everyone I...
