After the reviews we were shocked. The best thing was the fortune cookie. Ordered three entrees, one was so bad (tasted like it had Comet in it) we sent it back. Hot & sour soup tasted tinny. Egg rolls mushy inside and overcooked. Insult to injury was the bizarre behavior after we sent back the sizzle-platter chef's special steak ... first the waitress came back and told us the oil was checked and it was 'OK'. Eventually she came back and said they had decided to not charge us for the entree we didn't eat! (We hadn't ordered a replacement... appetite was gone.) As we paid for the meal the (we think) owner told us the chef checked it out and the beef fat was not spoiled! "Sorry you no like it." She then explained that they were not going to charge us for it repeatedly until we thanked her for not charging for inedible food. Entrees we ate we average at best. WILL NOT RETURN... BAD FOOD... UNGRACIOUS SERVICE... TOO MANY GOOD PLACES... DON'T BOTHER!
Pros: None
Cons: Food, service and ambiance.
