"Our first issue was the prices. While I understand that inflation, supply chain disruptions, and rising food costs have impacted menu prices, theirs seem excessive, especially given the quality and quantity of food. For example, they charged $5 for a single overcooked egg roll and $20 for a calamari appetizer (see photo) that resembled leftover bits from a fryer—overcooked to the point of being difficult to chew. Each entree was around $20, and they only came with a pint of white rice, nothing more. Our group of four ended up spending $130 on four entrees and one appetizer.
The second issue was the portion sizes. The third concern was the execution of the dishes. The almond chicken came with an odd dark brown sauce that didn’t resemble traditional almond chicken at all. The calamari consisted of a few overcooked pieces served on a bed of iceberg lettuce with sweet and sour sauce. The bang bang tacos looked appealing, but they were wrapped in soft tortillas that tasted underbaked, which is surprising since they likely purchase them from a grocery store.
The most troubling issue was that some of the food appeared spoiled. The buffalo chicken egg roll tasted off, and I left the restaurant anxious about the possibility of food poisoning after taking a bite. The calamari also had an overly fishy taste and was tough, making our group reluctant to finish it. When we called to voice our concerns, the manager informed us that there was nothing they could do about it since the owner was unavailable.
This restaurant was never great, but somehow, it's managed to get worse. Just to clarify for the restaurant: I am being honest, and I rarely leave negative reviews—my review history would reflect that. To break down what we paid: we received no fresh vegetables, and the buffalo egg roll was undoubtedly spoiled. Overall, my experience was extremely disappointing."
