Shrimp fried rice very hard and terribly dry, like it was cooked in bulk and served as needed. Will not go back. Generally the rice determines the success of the other dishes.

This is a nastiest Chinese food I ever had in my life. I got the shrimp egg foo young and a side of shrimp toast. The food is so bland and don’t have not one bit of seasoning and this place has the nerve to be expensive.

Today was first time trying their food. And honestly, it wasn’t bad. I played it safe and ordered the orange chicken dinner combo (I usually do egg foo yung, but decided to go easy on my first visit). It was close to $16.00. However, they give GENEROUS amounts! Fast service and food was tasty. I’d definitely would try again.

UPDATE: 7/2. So I decided to order the egg foo yung and sadly…. It was bland. So bland that I had to drown the egg foo yung in the gravy for just an inch of flavor. Like last order, you get plenty of food. But the egg foo yung itself had no flavor at all. Won’t order again.

You know a restaurant is bad when you have to go out of your way to improve their recipes. This is your typical hood Chinese restaurant so expect cheap food at high volumes. As always I have to note that there's a reason these places can do this. They most likely buy old frozen meat on the verge of expiration or "technically expired on that day" for pennies with the intention of getting it out the door quickly. The interior I noted might seem clean, but there's noticeable cobwebs everywhere. It wouldn't be that hard to just vacuum the waiting area every once in awhile and I never understand the reason why these places almost never do it. At least there's plenty of chairs and even tables if someone wants to set them up and eat inside (although I somehow doubt they intend to let people eat inside so it may be a relic of the past.)

I ordered my usual test of orange chicken lunch special. The cashier didn't say much and when they did I couldn't understand a word they said. They got my order out within 10 minutes. As I started making my way out some bum attempted to block the doorway and beg for money despite the obvious "No soliciting sign." I don't know who he thought he was trying to intimidate because he would've just ended up at Roseland Community Hospital across the street. Luckily he ended up making the right decision & backing off.

Looks wise you can tell they fried the chicken extremely hard. They either overcooked it by accident or were intentionally trying to hide the taste of expired food. The end result were literal bricks of chicken that the meager plastic fork they included couldn't even pierce. Not to mention the chicken was of course dry. The orange sauce is ok, but rather mild. They put just the right amount of sauce so that it doesn't spill yet it still covers all of the chicken. The shrimp fried rice itself was way blander than I'm used to. You don't even taste the soy sauce. They also skimped out majorly on the shrimp since there was only a few pieces for these huge mounds of rice. I was so disappointed that I tried saving the rice by refrying it with more soy sauce and adding toasted sesame seed oil, oyster sauce, carrots, green onions, bok choy, etc. It ended up being much better than what they sold me otherwise the original dish most likely would've ended up in the trash.
