As a university employee, it is very convenient to walk to the UC and eat at the cafeteria or the chicken place, Mien Bowl, or the flat bread place. Over the past 2-3 years, the food at Mien Bowl has gotten increasingly bland and IMHO worse. The Honey Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, ______ Chicken, etc., it really all tastes the same. The chicken is a mix of hard overcooked and re-warmed chicken or soft breading not cooked enough chicken. Honestly, the honey chicken isn't sweet and the General's chicken isn't spicy. However, the pepper chicken is peppery. The Chinese food I make at home is much more flavorful.
This place really deserves a 1 1/2 star as it's not disgusting but for the money the flavor and quality is totally lacking. I won't be going back. For a very long time. read more
