"How to describe our experience here is, well, maddening. I figured that with so many fantastic reviews it must be good. I think it could be, but for now I can't rate it any better than mediocre. The first evidence was on the sidewalk, before we even entered the building. I should have been paying attention, but wasn't, so I completely missed this until we were leaving. As you can see in the picture the entrance is beyond dirty. The amount of grease that has walked out this entrance, and never been cleaned, is astounding. If this is how the entrance looks, just imagine how the areas you can't see look. I wanted to order something that I figured I would like, such as Mongolian beef, but decided to order something that didn't show up in any reviews for them. I ordered the curry beef as it comes with veggies. My spouse ordered the lemon chicken with an upgrade to ham fried rice. The ham fried rice upgrade is rather costly, but we wanted to see if it was worth the extra dough. Within two minutes a server brought out some wonton's and spring rolls to us telling us to enjoy the appetizers. At first I thought that maybe we had ordered a meal that came with appetizers, but there was so much there, it had to be a mistake. Within another two minutes she brought a soup. We explained we hadn't ordered any soup or appetizers. The server took the food away. It appeared the table nearest our booth had ordered the food as they soon had soup, wonton's, and spring rolls on their table. Our food came out a few minutes later. The lemon chicken looked amazing. It was drenched in sauce, but was fried perfectly, so it was super crispy. The sauce was super sweet, so just be sure, if you get it, to mix it with enough rice so as to not overpower the rest of the food. We both enjoyed the chicken. The ham fried rice it came with was so so. I can't say it was worth the price of the upgrade. Normally ham fried rice is made with cold or even day old rice. The grains are separate, tender, and tasty. The flavor of this was decent. However, the rice was mush. It seemed like they cooked already hot rice even longer to make it ham fried. The curry beef was piping hot and came out with a small bowl of white rice. This rice was mushy. Both rice dishes were so mushy you could see the grains splitting apart. The aroma from the curry beef was inviting, almost tantalizing. After one taste of the sauce I knew I had made a mistake in my order. It seemed the curry sauce used beef gravy, like you might get in an American diner, flavored with curry. It tasted ok, but had no semblance of being anything oriental. I never add soy sauce to a dish, but a few splashes into the beef vastly improved the flavor. This restaurant seems like with a few small improvements to detail and food it could be a fantastic place to eat, but for now it's not a place I feel I can recommend."
