Worst NYC Dining Experience - Food and Service. I can safely say that this was my WORST dining experience in 10 years of living in NYC!! I never bothered to write a review before (good or bad), but this was just too much!! Also, this was the first time in my life that I decided not to leave a tip!

The corn soup was salty as hell, and had no....corn! We decided not to complain, and moved on to the entrees. The Kong Bao Chicken was bland, and the chicken and shrimp dish had soggy tasteless shrimp. One of the spices or veggies in the dish tasted like detergent and was inedible. One of us ordered a spicy chicken dish which contained almost exclusively bones and skin, and was dry and boring. A pile of chilly peppers was supposed to account for the 'spicy' part, but did not leave any impression on the chicken.

I'd probably give the food a 4 on a 10 scale, but the service doesn't even get a 2! It was so terrible that I actually thought we were on candid camera! The waitresses were visibly angry every time they approached the table, ignored us, and frowned when we asked for a spoon for the soup (strange request, I guess). They would never acknowledge any of our (few) requests, leaving us hoping that we were heard.

Thank god there are so many great restaurants in the neighborhood (Company, Kiku, Home on Eighth, Patsy's, Hill Country, etc., etc.).

We're never coming back!

Superb Chinese Food. I've got to say, i loved the food here. Not only was it delicious, but it came with great service and the environment was perfect for this kinda food. I loved the place, and I'll definitely be stopping back. That wonton soup was to die for

A typical Chinese American restaurant. I wouldn't expect more from this restaurant than typical Americanized Chinese fare. The portions are very good, the service very poor, and there was little Sichuan I could find in my dish.

Service leaves little to be desired. Expect to put your name down and then add another 45 minutes at the said time. It is not worth the long wait only to be expected to wolf the food down and leave. We were a party of three and they kept on refusing to sit us down at tables of four or larger table. In the end, they still sat us at a table of two. Even though the vegetable dishes are very well prepared, it wasn't worth the wait. The wait was longer than our meal.
