Very messy to eat. I asked for take out and was given a bag of greasy liquid along with the crab-shrimp contents. I had to pick out the items and then carry the bag outside to the garbage before it spilled all over. The items were covered in the liquid making it difficult to eat without dripping all over me.

Went to this location in Porterville for the first time on 12/14/24. Sorry but it's going to be my last.
Sat and waited just about an hour without any apology that they had a big order just before I put mine in. A courtesy of letting me know it was gonna be a wait would of been appreciated.
When I finally got my food, it was cold. Some of the shrimps were soggy. The potatoes and eggs were cold. The garlic noodles were cold and stuck together. It was an ok seasoning and...read full review
