The pork soup dumplings arrived literally spilling pink/red liquid that looked like blood. My mother had never tried soup dumplings before, so we were hoping for a fun experience, but she immediately spit it out. I brought it back and showed the staff the uncooked pork and the blood/red liquid on the napkin. They simply re-steamed them and brought them back except now there was no soup left inside the dumplings at all. The chicken teriyaki was tough and chewy, almost like jerky, as if it had been overcooked on an extremely hot grill or deep fried too long. The spring rolls were mediocre at best, with vegetables inside that had a mushy, paste-like texture. Very disappointing. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the rice. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.

I was happy to see certain items on the menu were designated as vegetarian. If I lived in town I would come back and try all their veggie friendly options. The small order of veg dumplings was a very reasonable price and portion. I thought they were well stuffed with veggies. I was a little disappointed with the dumpling wrapper- i prefer a lighter softer wrapper. But overall I still ate it all, and it was a quick nice snack. My husband really enjoyed his orange chicken with rice and veggies. It was a huge portion- he was only able to eat half of it. Great value.

We hopped in line but waited less than a minute because the service was incredibly fast. I managed to snatch a table within 30 seconds, and my husband got our food in less than two minutes. The service was fantastic! The food was actually really good--we got the chicken sandwich, which features three chicken tenders with lettuce and their special sauce, served with french fries and a Coke. Everything was delicious and very well priced. Getting a seat and having such quick service made everything work out perfectly. I also loved the ambiance of the store, they play cool music and the decor is great, especially the disco balls! Después de un concierto en el Prudential Center, regresamos a Penn Station y estábamos hambrientos. ¡Por suerte, este lugar estaba justo enfrente de la estación del LIRR! Hicimos fila pero esperamos menos de un minuto porque el servicio fue increíblemente rápido. Logré conseguir una mesa en 30 segundos y mi esposo trajo la comida en menos de dos minutos. ¡El servicio fue fantástico! La comida estuvo riquísima; pedimos el sándwich de pollo, que viene con tres 'chicken tenders' (tiras de pollo), lechuga y su salsa especial, acompañado de papas fritas y una Coca-Cola. Todo estuvo delicioso y a muy buen precio. El haber conseguido mesa y que nos sirvieran tan rápido hizo que todo saliera perfecto. También me encantó el ambiente del lugar; ponen música genial y está muy bien decorado, ¡me gustaron mucho las esferas de disco!

Was the food the best - I would say the chicken was not my favorite. The Texas toast by the look seemed like a hot dog bun cut in half but the taste was ok. I did enjoy the fries. They have seating but good luck finding anywhere to sit as it's always packed. There are two screens you can place an order on as well as cashiers to order from. There was a girl who kept asking if anyone placed an online order instead of calling the name on the order out which seemed weird because the people who ordered with cashiers had their names being called out.

And the falafel was delicious, especially having been freshly made. They even gave me extra to apologize for the wait. My only complaint is that the side pita that came with the meal was stale and hard, which is why I deducted a star. Overall, it was a good meal!

We also tried the gravy chicken, which was delicious and I will definitely be back to try the fries and sausages As well as the dessert.
