This Place Sucks

by skmm at Citysearch

I come on to be seated and the place is crowded with college students around dinner time. I was placed so close to a neighborin table that when the patrons got uo there but was literally in my dish. The waitress was rude, and yelled at me when I asked her to repeat herself. She also ignored me several times when I asked her to bring me something. When it was time for me to leave I got up to put on my coat and the rude waitress who had been ignoring me my whole time there rushed over and asked for a tip for the service. I had not even gotten my wallet out to give her the tip before she came over to ask for it. I thought that was very rude. Maybe because her customer service was so bad she thought that she was not going to get one. I WILL NEVER GO THER AGAIN. The food sucks it is to greasy and the service sucks even more.

• Cons: Rude, Rude, Rude

Delicious soup, good service!

by JohnLB42 at Citysearch

I went there the other night with my girlfriend. We were seated promptly and politely. There were several groups of Asian students - including a mom, pop, and daughter - already eating and clearly enjoying the food, which I usually take as a good sign when I go into a Chinese restaurant.

I had the pork and pickled cabbage soup, my girlfriend had the sizzling chicken and ginger platter. Both plates were very large - good enough for two-three people each. I'd had this soup at other restaurants and the amount they provided was easily twice that of other locations for roughly the same price. I also had unsweetened green tea, which was good if a little more bitter than usual. When I asked for chopsticks, the waitress retrieved them very quickly for me.

For desert, I had a couple red bean buns. They made a mistake and gave me a pork bun along with my red bean bun, but when I pointed it out they took it away and got me the correct one with much apologies. They were clearly very concerned about my experience and wanted to make everything go smoothly. It seems their service has been greatly improved over the last several months since the previous reviews.

One side note: don't order the avocado milk shake. I tried it on a lark and while you can taste the avocado in it, that's a mixed blessing.

I definitely intend to eat and order from here regularly during my stay as a student!

• Pros: Excellent portion sizes, delicious food
• Cons: None
