Went to Rice King tonight and ordered potstickers, wonton soup, eggrolls, cheese wontons, and curry chicken. Most of the food was fine and tasted okay, but when I opened my curry chicken I found it was more onions than chicken. I expected it to be like the curry chicken from most Chinese places, with carrots, onion, sauce, and a decent portion of chicken. This was nothing like that. It took a fair amount of digging with my fork to even find a piece of chicken. I finally got irritated and just dumped it out on a plate to find any pieces of chicken that were there. In the end I found maybe 10-15 tiny pieces of chicken, and was left with a bowl full of limp onions, and I do mean FULL. The restaurant was closed by the time I thought to take the food back and get a refund, but I will not be ordering from here again and will advise people I know to avoid it. Don't be fooled by the nice little old lady at the counter. This place is a ripoff. read more

They did not have bean sprouts to add for crunch although they did add bamboo shoots. In hind sight she would have asked for a scrambled egg to be added. B.

Lucky for me though, Sesame Garden was still open when I got to my AirBnB around 9pm. I placed my order by phone and did my research before hand on what was good here. I checked photos on Yelp and the only real item that looked reasonably good was the Mongolian Beef. The Hunan chicken looked decent too, but I could eat both, so beef it was! Have to say, that was a good choice. It was tender, saucy, and had the right vegetables that worked well with this. The most solid item that looked authentic. So food was good. Picking up the food was simple enough. Give them my name, pay for the food, and then go. Restaurant looked pretty small, but due to the weather, place was not packed at all. Support your local Chinese restaurant by the way! Overall, it's good enough for American Chinese food. Next time I'm visiting and staying 1 minute away from Sesame Garden, I'm going to get the Hunan Chicken. Looking forward to it!

Toast, as a platform, does not factor in how busy a restaurant actually is and gave me a thirty minute estimate. When I arrived about thirty five minutes later, there were six other people waiting and I was told it would be another ten minutes. The inside of Jackie Inn consists of a soda cooler, an ice cream cooler, and several areas to stand and wait, but there is no seating for dining in. On this Friday night, I believe there were seven people working, with six focused on food preparation and one person handling the front. The dominant sounds in the restaurant were woks in constant use, which was actually interesting to watch. In the end, my food was ready about twenty minutes after I arrived. For the first fifteen minutes I was fine with the wait, and I am glad they are busy, but I also did not expect to spend that much of my Friday night there. For dinner, I went with the lemongrass basil chicken while my wife chose the combination lo mein along with a chicken egg roll. The menu described my dish as spicy with broccoli, red bell pepper, lemongrass, basil, and a spicy chili sauce. My wife's lo mein was described as containing flank steak, chicken, prawns, carrots, scallions, onions, and fresh egg noodles. While the container initially looked small, the food ended up filling a fairly large bowl once plated. My dish was good. The chicken was moist and juicy, and I appreciated the generous amount of broccoli and bell pepper. The sauce had good flavor, and I even picked out some lemongrass stalks deeper in the dish, but I did not find it spicy at all. My wife really enjoyed her lo mein. She mentioned that while it costs a couple of dollars more than similar places, she feels it is worth it because the food tastes fresher. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I am happy to see Jackie Inn doing good business, I think the food tastes good, and I know my wife really enjoys it.
