We placed a large order totaling around $90 for ourselves and my brother-in-law's family. When my husband ordered, he specifically asked for 7 duck sauces, which were clearly listed on the receipt. When we picked up the food, we paid and even left a $9 tip. My husband checked the bag before leaving and noticed the duck sauces were missing. When he politely asked for them, the woman at the counter raised her voice and claimed we hadn't been charged--again, despite the receipt showing the charge for 7 duck sauces in black and white. My husband reminded her he had asked for them and even tipped generously, and that if there was an issue, she could simply take it out of the tip. Instead of resolving it calmly, she continued to be loud and disrespectful. It wasn't until the man working there stepped in that she finally handed over the sauces. This was disappointing and unnecessary. My husband is a huge Chinese food lover, and we truly wanted to enjoy a nice meal while visiting family. Instead, we left angry and disappointed. Customer service matters, and this was far from the welcoming experience we hoped for.

Then I showed up and found a bustling restaurant, with at least 5 people working in the kitchen. After a short wait, I picked up my food, neatly packed in a box and brought it home. It looked good but the taste would be the real test. Vegetables that snap because they are fresh. Rice that was just the right amount of sticky and fluffy. Shrimp that was cooked perfectly and seemed fresh and with just the right amount of spice. I dare say this might be the best Chinese food I've ever had. I should have tried this place much sooner but am thrilled to add another restaurant into the rotation...as soon as I get through all these leftovers!

Since it takes me 10 minutes each way to drive to/from the restaurant, it had probably been sitting for 30 minutes before I could start eating it. I've had Pad Thai in many places, including Thailand. This was the worst Pad Thai I've ever had. It had an "off" taste that I could not identify and the noodles were mushy. My guess is that the mushy noodles were a result of sitting and steaming itself for so long. Sorry, but won't go back or recommend.
