"I recently ordered several items from this restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience.
First, the C21 Salt Pepper Chicken tasted like it had been sitting around for days and then left in the fryer for hours. It was inedible and disgusting; I managed to eat about six bites before I had to throw the rest away.
Next, the N13 Pan Fried Noodles were quite disappointing as well. There were literally only six pieces of meat, each no larger than 2x2 and either pounded or shredded into oblivion. Additionally, there was one small, shriveled shrimp, two tiny broccoli pieces, two water chestnuts, four pieces of canned baby corn, and a sliver of mushroom, all served with about an ounce of udon-like noodles. The noodles were supposed to be fried and coated in sauce, but they turned out half-raw, with the other half tasting like it had been sitting in the sauce for a month. The sauce itself was bland, except for an overwhelming saltiness. I could only manage a portion the size of a saucer before tossing the rest, and I wouldn’t even give it to my dogs. I felt nauseated and worried about the quality of the meat.
The A9 Crab Rangoon was another letdown. There was no hint of crab flavor—only an unpleasant sour onion taste that made it feel more like French Onion Rangoon than anything else.
The A2 Egg Roll was filled entirely with cabbage and, as far as I could see, there was no option to request meat. It was incredibly bland, greasy, and I couldn't even finish half of one.
Lastly, the A8 Fantail Shrimp was the only item I managed to eat entirely, as I was so hungry after the other dishes. However, the shrimp had an unusual battered texture, almost like corn dogs or beer-battered fish, which I found off-putting. I wouldn’t order it again.
I may just be a typical white guy, but having come from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and frequently visiting Windsor and Toronto for authentic Chinese cuisine, I’ve learned to appreciate what real Chinese food is like. This experience gave even American Chinese food a bad name.
I usually don’t take the time to write negative reviews, but I can only imagine Panda Express would be an improvement over this."
