In the process of trying to find an open Chinese restaurant around downtown Baton Rouge, I discovered this place in Port Allen. To summarize from the start, it was average at best.
The food was ok, although some of it was a bit lacking in flavor. Fair selection, mostly a mix of American Chinese cuisine and general American dishes. If you're looking for standard fare from every other Chinese place in the area, it is definitely here. Found the hot and sour soup to be fairly bland and lacking in flavor. In all fairness, I did arrive fairly late in the day. Other dishes were good, such as the lo mein and the chicken w/ broccoli.
Service was very prompt. The waitress was very quick to respond to myself and my date, and was also very attentive and friendly to the both of us. Price is also right. Very inexpensive for a lunch buffet.
In terms of the physical space, the building is not very attractive from the outside. It is clearly an older space, but one can see that the staff does their best to keep the inside as clean as possible. But older furniture and a moderately dark interior makes a remodel seem very necessary. Or at least a fresh coat of paint.
As stated at the beginning, this is an average Chinese restaurant. Pros were service, price, and availability of food selections. Cons were environment and blandness of certain items. read more
