    My meat dished
    Phil S.

    I let some time go by before returning. The good news, the restroom was dry, although stinky. It was fairly busy so I expected the buffet to be refreshed. The chicken for sweet n sour was really over cooked, dark and hard not just crunchy, horrible. The mussels were over cooked, rubbery and dry. The egg fu yung was also dry and I was unable to easily cut with a fork. For $20 a person I was not pleased. The noodle dishes were okay, not great. The dining area ambiance is very dull, service persons were attentive, almost pestering me to refill my drink, but removed old plates quickly.

    Menu Description

    Drove across the country to visit my sister in globe AZ. Had a craving for Chinese food. This place was recommended by some locals. Went online to check menu. Prices looked more than fair so I was excited. Called in the order and to my surprise the total was twice what I had calculated. The Person on the phone said the prices were not updated. Beef Lo Mein was $6 more, Beef and Broccoli was $5 more, General Tso's Chicken was &10 More, Egg Rolls were $3.40 more. Still, I was Okay, because as a chef, I know the cost of ingredients has increased over the last year. My food was ready when I arrived and the person that greeted me was very pleasant and polite. But I wondered as I walked to my Truck why the meals were in Styrofoam trays, instead of the usual Cardboard cartons I generally get Asian food in on the east coast. But Hey Maybe it's an Arizona thing I thought. When I arrived home the food was hot. The Egg Rolls perfect, and no qualms with the sweet and sour dipping sauce that came with them. My sister said her beef and broccoli was good as well. Then I opened my beef lo Mein. Beef was tender, but the noodles looked like chopped spaghetti instead of Chinese egg noodles, and they were way overcooked. It had cabbage and a couple pieces of Julienned carrots, but the whole dish was bland and disappointing. The General Tso's Chicken was abundant and looked promising, until I tried to fork a piece, and the fork they supplied would not pierce the coating. Why didn't they give me chopsticks? I got a metal fork and ate a piece. It had good flavor except zero spice, which it should have a little heat. And the texture was off, so I cut one in half. No chicken, all breading. Cut several more, same thing. Where is the chicken? I cut open all of the pieces. all but a few had no chicken. The ones that had a little meat, definitely didn't look like chicken. It resembled very dark overcooked beef. So, I don't know what they gave me. It went in the trash. The menu description claimed, "deep fried large tender Chunks of chicken". I didn't get that, I got 20 dollars' worth of donuts, I think. And don't get me started on the broken fortune cookie with the fortune "You will try a new way of making your favorite drink". If you have never had Chinese food, you will probably think this food is good. It's not. I can't say I tried the whole menu, scared of that. If you like Chinese food, this is not the spot. Anyway, I'm still craving some good Chinese.

    For where it is and what it looks like it's absolutely worth the money. The fish is outstanding. The employees are very friendly and the restaurant seems to be clean.

    This place is great in every way. Our son comes here for the great food and friendly service so we…read morefollowed him today. We had been here once before and found the food and service more than five stars. The veggies in our food were crisp and tastey. The iced tea really hit the spot. My glass was always filled and I cant wait to go back and try another item on the menu. You wont be sorry you went here. Enjoy!

    My husband and I came in over an hour before close and came in straight to sit down and were very…read moreangrily asked by the woman behind the counter "here o to go", to which I hesitantly replied to her off putting attitude, "here" . My husband and i proceeded to wait on our menus and were enjoying our conversation and you could here both women behind the counter having a heated conversation. The woman that initially gretted us came up to us and said, we close in an hour are you sure you want to say and my husband and i looked at eachother and said of course we do. The woman then looked very annoyed and raised her voice to the other woman behind the counter and looked back and said to us "do you want to go" and my husband and i looked at eachother confused. She then kept insisting, "the kitchen is being cleaned, you're going to have to wait 15-20 minutes to order" and my husband and i insisted we were okay with waiting. It was just us two in the restaurant again, over an hour before close. and the woman then again said "do you want to go? it's going to be 15-20 minutes", i then said sternly we are okay with waiting and the woman said yet again "do you want to go" we weren't being given an option. The woman was insisting we leave. My husband got upset and said we should just go. They were incredibly rude, unwelcoming and disgusting in the manner they attended us. My husband and I used to go here frequently when we were dating and the woman did nothing other than ruin a place that had so many great memories for us. I can confidently say now, Panda Express is so much better. we came here right after, 15 minutes before close and greeted with nothing other than smiles and fresh food upon our request.
