I thought long and hard: "Why do I feel like I've been here before?"
I haven't. It was the pizza joint next door I've been to...
... ANYWAY! Quick grub stop on our way to Pangasinan and Big Bro and I agreed the driver should choose where to eat, "so long as it's indoors and there's AC." This was his choice, and that's how we ended up here.
We put in our orders, paid, got our number and sat down. I looked around as we patiently waited and then realized their AC isn't functioning well. It was a tad bit too warm in here! It's better than being outside, but not as good as we much preferred. *** SIGH!!! ***
CHINESE STYLE FRIED CHICKEN (W/ A SIDE OF WONTON SOUP): Fried chicken had a great crunch but seasoning was bland. Nothing a little salt/soy sauce couldn't fix. It also tasted like it has been sitting under a warmer for awhile. The soup wasn't that much better and it didn't help that it only came with three barely-stuffed wontons. Again, soy sauce to the rescue, so it was kinda fixable. The chips were in the beginning phases of staleness. The rice was the only perfect thing on the plate.
FOOD: 2. Under par, for sure. The plate and side I got needs work.
VALUE: 3. You get what you pay for.
SERVICE: 4. I upped it one star because I feel the staff is overworked. They seemed a little overwhelmed when a rush of peeps came through. It makes me wonder if they've all been working longer hours than scheduled. (This place is open 24/7, after all...)
PARKING: Private lot, but not a lot of spots. Street parking is also available.
OVERALL: 3.
Not impressed. Still debating if it deserves to make it to my one-and-done list, but I think I'll leave it in limbo for awhile... I'll let the next visit decide its final fate. read more
