Easily one of the worst meals I’ve ever paid for. I ordered the lunch special, which advertised spring water — they gave me purified water instead, without saying a word. That set the tone for what turned out to be a completely disappointing and overpriced experience.

I dined in and was still served pho in a flimsy plastic to-go container completely unacceptable. The beef was over cooked and tough. The chicken and broccoli was absolutely disgusting with this weird sauce on it. I took one bite and couldn’t eat another. I only ate the fried rice, and even that was nothing special.

What’s worse is that no one even bothered to check in or offer a refund despite the fact I barely touched my food. No apology, no accountability, just a shrug and a bill for $24.

I should’ve known better than to trust this place the moment I saw they were playing Fox News for the diners. That told me everything I needed to know.

Skip this place entirely — you deserve better food, better service, and better energy.

The food in place too good and they don’t give you enough food. I ordered a chicken and broccoli with shrimp. I got two shrimp and three little pieces of chicken. I will never eat from here again.

I love supporting local food places when in the area and I truly enjoy leaving great feedback when its due. I have never had to leave a bad review especially on a food place, I’m so sorry but this was unacceptable to the highest degree. This is a bar not a food place. So you get subpar bar food quality. You literally order food between bar stools while music is blasting. I could tell the lady that took my order was doing her best trying to talk over the loud music, food came out in 10-15mins and it was bad bad… everything was clearly overly microwaved. What a disappointment. Maybe it would be “ok food” to go alongside heavy drinks while at the bar. But yikes. Fried Wontons were hard as stones, I had to throw them away the entire 8ct order. The Chow Foon I ordered with Beef was so sloppy and sticked together it was clearly old and microwaved. French fries were just french fries and the worst offender was the Miso Soup. It was literally SALT WATER. Straight to the trash. I feel bad for leaving this type of review, I wouldn’t recommend going here for the food.

The fried food sampler was so over-fried that it was similar to the crusty residue that you get in the bottom of your deep frier (including the meat skewer and the filling from the rangun), which we just tossed because it’s unbeatable. The egg roll was awfully doughy and tasted bad. Only the fried rice and veggie spring roll have a pass.

Ordered General Tso Chicken and was very disappointed. Chicken was dry and barely any sauce.

Spring rolls were good but the orange chicken was impossible to chew and didn’t taste like orange chicken. The sauce was salty and if I didn’t hate wasting food, this would have been inedible. Extremely disappointed, didn’t even eat half and am throwing it away.

Carryout ordered. Got back to hotel. Fried rice had a distinctly burnt smokey flavor....not normal for fried rice. The general tso chicken was both over cooked and old/stale and hard to eat. In fact, the frozen tv dinner offered in the lobby will be my dinner tonight. I truly cannot eat this. Sorry guys.... i imagine this is not the usual offerings.....but this is really not edible. Edit: the broccoli was good though

I’ve been ordering from this place for a long time, but today I got the orange chicken, and it was tough and mostly batter with little to no meat. I’m really disappointed and probably won’t be returning.

Solid place that's open later than majority in the area with one helluva twist - it doubles as a latin bar, so you get literally best of both worlds! And food is bangin!

Great food very consistent and great pricing. They also serve alcohol, which is kind of nice.

I went to the restaurant and ordered a large shrimp fried rice.There was 4 to 5 mini shrimp in my rice! I called the same day and was giving a credit to get another order of the rice which I picked up another day. The second time the order was excellent. I continue ordering from them. A month or so down the line I order a shrimp fried rice again. I had the same problem no shrimp and the rice tasted old. I called back up to the store the same day. The young girl that waited on me apologized and ask me to come back in to get another rice but I was home relaxed by that time. I told her I would save the food and bring it back in. She told me to throw it away and she would take my number and give me a new rice when I came back in. I called in to pick up my credit for my rice and order other dishes and the manager was really rude! He told me another rice is not good?!! I told him yeah, I was told to come in to get another one. His attitude turn me off from ordering and I told him to keep his credit and he should'nt treat customers like this. Then he slammed the phone down in my ear! Customer sevice at its worst!!!!!!!

There were many free parking spaces on the front. The door required a strong pull to open (originally I thought it was closed until I followed someone in). It did offer a few indoor seatings, but I ordered three lunch combinations to go. Given the location and prices, it was great for our quick lunch. The shrimp chow mein came with lots of ingredients. The curry beef came with a few vegetables.

I loved the young man at the cash register! Fantastic service and very sweet. He made the atmosphere so pleasant just on his own and he was so helpful to me as I asked him which options were vegan and what was his favorite when I asked him for help deciding. Food came out very fast! Food was very good, big portions. Will come again!

There is a good atmosphere here, especially on weekends, but when it comes to food orders, it takes a long time to deliver your order, so if you are going to order, order before you get hungry, otherwise you will be stuck with the hunger for a long time.
