We arrived about 8:30. Closing time is 9 pm. The place was empty, though there were a few pickup orders. Wanting to keep it simple, I asked for a large wonton soup and a single eggroll. The other dish we got was a dinner special pepper steak, which included an egg roll and VERY plain fried rice. It was the smallest scoop of fried rice we have ever gotten in a restaurant, without a speck of green onion, a single bean sprout, and meat, and 2 thin slivers of fried egg. Basically totally tasteless. The pepper steak had 6 or 7 potions of meat, a bit on the fatty side, 3 pieces of green pepper, and a LOT of yellow onion just to fill up space. Not much taste EXCEPT raw yellow onion.
Even though I ordered 1 eggroll, we ended up with 2 so we had to pay for the extra. The egg rolls were tasty at least. The wonton soup was the worst I have ever had. The meat filling was gristly pork pieces without any seasoning, chopped vegetables, or anything that would add some flavor. I believe there were 8 awful wontons sunk at the bottom of plain broth. Not a speck of green onion, nappa cabbage, roast pork or bok choy. Basically plain yellow broth. Maybe the Thai dishes are better, but we paid over $26 for some of the worst excuse of Chinese food we have ever had. The dinner special was a significantly smaller package and portion than we have gotten from any other place.

The food was lacking flavor, and there wasn't much food for the cost. Soup broth was good, but wontons were gristly and not that good. Pepper Steak didn't have many peppers, and might not have been steak. The plain fried rice was bland. No green onions, only a hint of egg and no bean sprouts. Just rice with some soy sauce and oil. Very disappointed. Egg rolls were fine.

This has been my favorite place. The lady working is genuinely nice. It can get packed but it is worth the wait. So if you always in a hurry, don't give them a hard time and just support their family business.
