This place used to be fail safe great Chinese Restaurnat and always really busy too. I was there on Saturday night and figured there would be a wait but there was no one waiting and we were seated immediately at one of the many empty tables. that was my first clue.... also the entire staff was made up entirely of what looked like fresh out of high schoolers doing their first job. I saw one actual Asian person the whole night..... and my suspicion grew. The service was lame ...... slow slow slow and they took our drink and dinner orders at the same time.... and brought them out about the same time too. But, the food though was actually awful. The sweet and sour was too sour and the spring rolls basically were filled with shredded cabbage and thats it.
I know I used to love those things because they were full of flavor but there was none to be had last night except the taste of the slightly burnt oil they were fried in. The barbequed pork was flavorless and actually tough, not tender. We also had the general tso's chicken which I remember used to be a real treat but again the flavor was wrong and the peices of chicken over coated. We also had prawn sweet and sour. The prawns were actually good quality but they were over sauced with very little flavor but sour and a few onion and green pepper chunks that seemed under cooked.
And the chow mein with black bean sauce and few vegetables lacked the essentail flavor it used to have. The home made noodles were pretty good but the whole dish just lacked flavor.
I don't know what has happened, but it has changed. I will not be going back to my favorite Chinese joint unless I hear it has changed back. Its really pretty sad!
