I used to come here a lot after school (6-7 years ago) when I was a senior with my best friend at the time so I might be a tad bit biased.
Every time I come, they're always busy and a week ago, I had some really terrible sesame chicken from some asian restaurant that made me craaave a good one. From my memory, this place was always reliable on taste. No matter what I used to get here it was always so good. Probably the best chinese takeout I've ever tasted.
So yesterday, I decided to come back after YEARS of not coming here. I ordered crab rangoons which I remember used to be heavenly from here. I also ordered the dinner sesame chicken.
The crab rangoons were exactly what I remembered it to be. So delicious and perfect. The flavor is on point, the crunchiness of the wrapper is so amazingly cooked that it bites the right way. It made me feel all happy and secure. Exaggerating, I know. But it's just that good to me.
The sesame chicken meal came with pork fried rice and some some pieces of broccoli, I assume for color. It also came with a veggie springroll. The sesame chicken was so good. It was what I was craving for this whole week. It was crunchy and saucy but not too over powering. The rice was a bit dry but with the chicken, it was perfect. No chewy bits either. Even though it was made of dark meat, there were no tendons that I bit into or anything. I loved it so much even though I was full, I kept eating it. Then I saved the rest which I just had for dinner today.
The whole meal didn't even set me back far. Less than 20 dollars for 10 large crab rangoons and a large micro of deliciousness.
So I bet at this point, you're wondering where the 3 stars came from. I love this place so much I should give it 5 right?
Well, I'm a firm believer of good customer service, just because your food is good and everyone orders all the time doesnt give a right to be rude.
I remember even back then when I was a young and shy, anxiety ridden teenager, the front desk lady's attitude made me feel put off. I always felt a bit terrible about myself after she serviced me. Even yesterday, she didn't say much to me but it felt so off putting and even as I sat there waiting for my food, people would call in an order and the way she talked to them was so rude. It was all I could think about. The whole time I sat there I felt bad. Like, I had a bad feeling in my gut. Almost like I'm ashamed to be there. She kinda talks to you like she's in a rush and you're too much trouble for her to deal with. 7 years and that hasn't changed. Hahah! read more
