"I should have known something was off when the clock was not set correctly and cases of two liters were stacked by one of three tables. There is no sink to wash hands. I am not in the habit of assuming the order will be subpar. The beef dish and soup were over $10 had very little meat in it, with the few fatty pieces hidden in barely cooked peppers. Even the pork fried rice had little pork in it, and no egg. The onions were the only nearly decent part of the dish. Do not abuse my trust when I order take out AND pay up front. If you cannot afford to prepare a dish properly, take it off the menu or reduce the fare you list.I know that Chinese food in both China and Chinatown is way different from what you get elsewhere. I also have a formal foods and nutrition background, having cooked for dining patrons of many backgrounds and tastes. This includes celebrities such as Buddy Hackett, Arthell Neville, Trent Reznor and 9Inch Nails, Li’l Wayne and Pantera. I was requested by patrons and servers alike because I kept a clean, neat work area, etc. for the food to be the same, as well as nutritious, delicious and beautiful. It goes without saying that wait staff admitted that some of their best tips were earned when I worked. Never take customers for granted. Being a devotee of Martin Yan and Grace Young, I expect fine quality Chinese food. Enough said!"
