    sesame chicken

    the first 2 times i ate here, it was delicious. i order the sesame chicken every time. but this last time i went the sesame chicken was mad hard and not easy to chew just like shanghai. i stopped going to shanghai because every-time i ordered the sesame chicken, the chicken was ALWAYS HARD and not easy to chew. i guess its just a hit or miss with these Chinese restaurants. i really think its all about who is cooking that day. i feel like the cooks should take they time and not rush the food, i am already waiting 20-25 minutes. i don't mind the wait but at-least make sure the chicken is not hard. idk if the chicken was sitting for a while or what but it wasn't satisfying. hate to spend my last 20$ just for some food i didn't enjoy. i would have gave it four stars 4-5 if i didn't experience today

    GET THE HIBACHI! Although my first visit was not too pleasant, I decided to give the hibachi a try. DELICIOUS! The steak is always tender and the white sauce is perfect. My go-to place for hibachi now.

    Best chicken wings in town and I've tried a lot of Chinese chicken wings

    If your look for good Chinese wings and fried rice this is the spot. I don't care for everything on the menu but most part pretty good.

    We have gotten dinner from here several times and we absolutely love their hibachi stuff, but tonight we decided to try their black pepper chicken (C20). IT WAS TERRIBLE. There was zero chicken involved and I basically got a container filled with tiny pepper-coated nuggets of hard fry batter. Gross. DO NOT ORDER THIS.

    My go to spot I love their hibachi! Chicken wings and sesame chicken! And they have banging white sauce. I love they give you the option for a soda or an egg roll with dinner combos such a unique twist especially cause I'm not a big egg roll person. I eat here about 2x a month and will continue to! They are great people who make great food. Also look at how much chicken I get!

    Once again, I listened to my boyfriend where to get some delicious Vietnamese food…read more I came to Victorious Pho Bar. This time I didn't get the pho. While looking over the menu one side of the menu is Vietnamese food and the other Thai food. I made the decision to get a little of both options. My appetizer I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and for my meal I ordered the vegan Pad Thai with hot Jasmine tea. I receive my Tea and Spring rolls simultaneously. My tea is piping hot and my shrimp spring roll giant and looks so fresh. My service was great you walk in and the waitress will tell you to sit anywhere you like. The restaurant definitely gives sports bar vibe with the decor. My food was amazing. The shrimp spring roll was delicious the veggies super fresh and crispy and the shrimp cooked perfectly and they give sweet chili sauce as the dipping sauce. My vegan Pad Thai was equally as yummy. It's was so flavorful I did feel that my broccoli was way overcooked and hardly any cabbage either. The veggies you get it broccoli, cabbage, carrots, green onion and bean sprouts. Nevertheless the flavor was there noodle were cooked just right. My boyfriend got it right this time and I will definitely be back. I want to try their red curry next time.

I had Beef Pho, they had several protein choices. Good sized bowl, steamy hot. All the extras you would want were provided. Zero complaints and was a welcome change to the regular options in the area. This was a lunch visit, but could tell it transforms to a bar at night. If you're looking for something other than the regular slapped between bread offerings... give it a shot. They also of other regular options like Pad Thai which I'll have to come back for

My one and only time stopping in was at lunch on a weekday, so it wasn't that busy, at all. There were some gentlemen there from the nearby construction crews that were waiting for their order, so I stepped up to the register, grabbed a menu and started looking for what it was I craved. Pretty immediately, a woman came out and stood there like the Soup Nazi (everyone remember Seinfeld?). I felt very rushed and so went with the first thing that came to me head for Chinese food, Orange chicken, steamed white rice...oh, and throw in some egg rolls! She asked me to point it out on the menu, to which I did. Now, remember this is noon, on a weekday, and I am all by my lonesome. She ended up giving me the Crispy Orange Chicken from the 'House Suggestion' section on their menu -- which is $13.95. Mind you, their lunch special for Crispy Orange Chicken is $6.95, plus fine print that states $.50/each extra for egg rolls. All in total, it was about $22 for lunch...for just me. The math isn't mathing for me. Not friendly and dishonest takes away the additional star I'd have ranked this place for good chicken. I feel like there could have been way better service, at minimum, to at least ask if I wanted the LUNCH combo, or confirm that I wanted a large portion of just Orange chicken for just me and maybe describe what that entails. No. You don't get that here. The pictures on their hanging menu board are wanting, as well -- some even hanging off precariously. The rest of the ambiance/decor in this place is very dive, but that would be the least of their worries if they were just friendly. I can even handle the less than stellar - or zero - communication, as well, but can we have some more pictures of menu items on the wall so we know what some of your highlights are? And can we take a picture on an iPhone? Not a 1997 QuickPix Polaroid that fell in olive oil. I actually had no idea they served Pad Thai, which is one of my favorites, until I looked at the menu after I got home -- in preparation for this review. They advertise themselves as Chinese, Japanese and Thai dine-in and take-out. This place has all the potential of thriving if they would just put in some effort for marketing and genuinely trying to assist those walking in off the street -- that in and of itself would have went a long way. Luckily, the orange chicken, as well as their rice, was very good -- the egg rolls were the worst I've ever had; very soft, not filled completely, and mystery contents. All in all, I am very curious to try them out again, for their pad Thai and some other items of interest, but to all consumers out there, you really want to make sure you know what you want prior to stopping in, which is a shame when it comes to 60%+ of your clientele that are more than likely going to stop in after grocery shopping at Lowes, or just being in the general area.

There was an employee there chit chatting with a customer while we waited. She then walked away and said someone would be with us shortly. The stand was unattended and we weren't even sure we were in the correct spot. The opposite lot was full so we parked on the south side and thankfully got it right. It would be helpful to mark the entrance in case we parked the opposite side. The turn in going south has one turn on the opposite end. Plenty of parking. The place looks brand new: nice decor. Server Chelsea was very nice and helpful. She got a chicken pasta Alfredo and I got a shrimp and crab cake sandwich. The pasta was way overdone and mushy. It was even very watery. The chicken was sweet. Sweet chicken and Alfredo was pretty terrible. They said all the chicken has the sweet marinade. They should have specified that on the menu because we would have never ordered sweet chicken especially not with Alfredo sauce. The dish in my opinion was pretty bad. I would give that a 1.5/5. Mine was decent. I liked the dill sauce. The bun was sweet and small for the patty but it was ok. The fries were over salted but they came out piping hot and fresh. Would I eat there again? Probably not. It's a small menu with a lot of chicken dishes. Their signature sweet chicken sauce was a turn off for both of us. It was reasonably priced and the server was nice. Overall I have to give the place a 3.5/5. The waiting when we went in and having ro listen to an employee chatting with her friend was off putting while we waited. Had she acknowledged and said someone was coming would have been fine but she completely ignored us until she finished her conversation before saying anything and that was a good 2-3 minutes. The food was a 2.5/5 and the service from Chelsea was excellent. I can't say the same for the lady that ignored us. I give it a 3/5 for that reason. Rounding it up to 4 only because it was so clean and Chelsea's attendance
