No, I could place a second order to get the fried rice. Ok, whatever, I'll take the steamed rice. The Orange Chicken was like rubber. I tried to bite a piece in half and it wouldn't pull apart, so the whole piece went in my mouth and I had to use my fingers to pull it apart which was embarrassing on a first date! It didn't taste good either. I looked for a knife in the plastic silverware, but there was none. I then went for a bite of the rice and it was so stuck together that I really had to jam my fork into it. It had no flavor at all and I was not offered any kind of sauce for it. I got some salt, but it didn't help. It had obviously been in a cup and turned over on a plate (there was no bowl) so I don't see why they couldn't have substituted the fried rice. The carrots were rubbery too. The only thing half way good was the broccoli. I opted for water to drink because I couldn't see paying over $6 for flavored ice tea. I didn't want my date to feel bad for buying me such a horrible meal, so I managed to get a couple of bites down. He asked if I wanted a box. No, but I said yes, again not wanting him to feel bad. I tried the Orange Chicken again when I got home, using my paring knife, and it was still so bad that I threw the whole thing away. There were only 6-8 people in the place, but it was so noisy that I had to keep asking my date to repeat what he said because I couldn't hear him. I was looking forward to a new place to eat and the online menu looked so great... How sad.

I really don't eat at Chinese food chains. After having eaten at Panda a dozen or so times I either didn't like it or got sick. From then on I just stuck to the nice restaurants or the little restaurants. Then I ate at Chopstix. And found there is such thing as a Chinese chain restaurant that actually has a strong good taste. Not bland at all like Panda. I have only eaten at the Chopstix in VV and AV and each time it was very good and the portions were much more than I wanted. There really is no place that provides so much good food for such a small price. read more

Would I order from this place again? NEVER!!! Here's why.... It is 99% BREADING. What really surprises me is that many of these restaurants will do everything it takes to cheat customers for the sake of profit. While being very deceitful that way, they have lost sight of the fact that they will only lose patrons. People are so very tired of these deceptions. CAVEAT EMPTOR! BUYER BEWARE!!! I SO VERY HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL. Do your part as a consumer..... make sure that these kinds of businesses CLOSE FOR GOOD!!! read more

I did one orange chicken and one king pao beef entree. There was plenty of orange chicken- and it was delicious and a decent amount of the Kung pao beef.. (usually I find when ordering beef dishes at Chinese places, they tend to skimp on the beef) This was a pretty good ratio of beef to veggies- the flavor was really good and not too spicy. I don't really eat egg flower soup often, but I feel like this one tasted good. The fried rice was very basic, rice and egg, but also good. I only tried the fried shrimp and an egg roll in the appetizer selection. THE SHRIMP WAS SO GOOD. I'm not that huge of an egg roll fan, so I didn't like these egg rolls. Overall I feel like for the price, the amount of food was worth it. And the flavor is good overall. I would definitely eat here again.

Now it is sliced ahead of time and the pieces sit in liquid until purchased. The pork absorbs whatever liquid it is in, making the meat an unappetizing color throughout. This did not add any moisture because the meat was already overcooked and dry to begin with. All the dark edges just means it is burned. The meat smelled burned. Other items, such as the Sweet and Sour Pork and Orange Chicken consisted mainly of thick fried batter and very little meat. The Orange Chicken did, however, have a tangy, citrusy sauce which tasted good. They may be experiencing some growing pains with the new ownership change. I should return in a few months to see if there is any improvement. The price point currently is not worth it due to the rather poor food quality.

For those passionate cooks who loves homecooking, all the power to you and when should I be over?... I'll bring dessert (store bought of course) LOL. I am waiting for the universe to send me a true soulmate who cooks... I will be more than happy to be their sous chef LOL. Kidding aside or not LOL... let's get back to this review... We got 3 entrees... overall, they were all good. The beef and chicken were tender. Veggies were very fresh and love the broccoli + cabbage combo. Seafood could have been more though. The only other thing was the teriyaki sauce flavor. It was too light and watery... needs to be thicker, heavier, and tastier. If you would like, you can ask for more sauces either on the entree or on the side. 1 Beef & Chicken Yakisoba 1 Seafood Yakisoba (shrimp, salmon, and scallop) 1 Shrimp & Chicken Rice Staff was pleasant. Cooks were okay. Line was very short from cashier to cooks so it can be a little squishy between customers unless the line shifts to the left away from the cashier. Prices are higher than before, but what isn't nowadays. We'll still return to Kobe when we're craving teriyaki foods. Hopefully, their teriyaki sauce would have improved by then. Happy Kobe'ing!

Unfortunately, this visit felt very different. We arrived around noon, and the restaurant was completely empty. They had several TVs, so I asked if they could put on the World Cup. Our waitress declined, explaining that when games are on, customers tend to stay long after they've finished eating. While I understand that may be their policy, it didn't feel very customer-friendly, especially with no other patrons in the restaurant. I also asked if there was an outlet where I could charge my phone. When we found a nearby table with a wall plug, I asked if we could switch tables since we'd only been served water. The waitress said it would be "too confusing for the system" because our orders had already been placed, despite the restaurant being empty. She did offer to charge my phone from an outlet in the hallway, which I appreciated. I asked if they had a few of our favorite sushi items--things like a Las Vegas roll, Orange Blossom roll, or salmon collar (all very common at sushi restaurants back home in Las Vegas). The response seemed more confused than helpful, and overall the interaction just didn't feel very welcoming. On the positive side, they brought out complimentary shishito peppers and radish as an appetizer, which was a nice touch. My daughter really enjoyed the salmon teriyaki, and we also liked the chicken teriyaki roll. At the end of the meal, we had to flag someone down for our check and for to-go boxes while the staff was busy cleaning tables. We were handed a wet plastic bag to pack up our leftovers, which was an odd way to end the experience. Overall, the food was better than the customer service. We'd still consider stopping again because the food is decent, but we hope the hospitality improves. A more welcoming attitude would go a long way.
