At 9:17 PM they said they stop taking orders at 9:15 because they close at 10:00 PM. Wouldn’t make an exception. Very lazy.

me and my friend went in to eat, and the guy at the counter asked if we wanted to place an order and then we started to order, only for him to tell us the food will be ready shortly. Then we went and sat down inside the dining area only to be told we are not allowed to sit there unless we said we were eating inside by this rude woman. We did get up and sat in the area where you wait for to-go orders and my friend went and asked if we could eat inside, and the woman rudely told him that they aren’t allowed to change options for that and for future reference to say we’re dining in. Honestly, the man that took our order should’ve said asked if we were dining in or doing a to-go order. However, the food was good though.

It’s an okay-ish place. I’ve only tried their soup and Orange Chicken. The orange chicken was kinda intense on the flavor; wish they’d take it easy on the sauce. In contrast, the fried rice was bland with no flavor. Went during the break so the place was kinda dull.

Its ok its not a great place but far from the worst its your typical American chinese restaurant. food wasn’t bad but was forgettable and some bites will have you asking how its made. Overall its fairly priced and a solid meal if you haven’t had chinese food in a while but don’t expect to be amazed.

Quick service and great food I ordered the beef pho it was great. I was actually recommended to come here from a family member and they ordered the pho and let me taste it so I came the next day for it, it was a very quiet setting not too crowded or loud.

The food is fine but the lunch daily special is a JOKE. It's $7...which is $1.50 less than regular lunch price....BUT it doesn't come with the soup or egg roll that the regular lunch price is. So it's NOT A DEAL at all. It's better just to pay the $8.50 and get the egg roll and soup!! What a rip-off. Whose idea was this?????

You know, I used to like this place, but I’ll NEVER go here again.My nana is hearing impaired and we send her sometimes to get our lunch here while we’re working and a lady that worked here called my mom today and told us to stop sending her up there because of that.This is so infuriating because my nana is the sweetest woman I know and she always does her best to communicate with everyone, even those that don’t understand sign language.I think it shows me a lot about this worker’s character when can’t even show that same respect back. Shame on her.

They discriminate against people with disabilities. I used to order here 1 to 2 times a week with the people I work with. I will no longer be spending any of my hard earned money here. the girl that works the drive thru window today at lunch really does not need to be working around the public, since she says things that other people are scared to say in her own words. I have never dealt with someone as hateful as her.

This place discriminated against one of the most beautiful people I know. Sandra communicates better than some hearing people. This was complete and utter disgusting, disturbing, unethical, and less than inclusive treatment of a hearing impaired Individual. Sandra didn’t ask to be born deaf. But I can tell you what I know… she busts her chops to make a living like the rest of us. She never asks for anything to be handed to her. It burns me up that ANYONE would treat her with less than the amount of respect and kindness that she shows everyone else.

Swen's has excellent lunch specials and a variety of tofu options. While it is not my favorite Chinese place in the area, it is my most reliably delicious lunch option. It also has a much wider variety of tofu options than I usually find.Vegetarian options: More tofu options here than at other Chinese places. You can get most classic dishes as tofu rather than the default chicken or beef.

Food wasn't really good at all. I got orange chicken and the color was extremely dark and tasted off. I'm not sure if it was burnt but it kind of seemed like the sauce was messed up.The chicken was tender and the fried rice and egg roll were okay but I was super dissapointed with the chicken. I powder through and at like half because I didn't want to waste it and I had waited 10 minutes but I threw over half of it away in the end.I can say it was made to order so it was fresh and staff was nice but it just wasn't very good.
