Bad food, bad service. I went in during lunch because my favorite vegetarian downtown eatery was temporarily closed and I had seen the menu online for this restaurant and saw that there was a decent number of tofu dishes. I went in and they had the lunch buffet set up. The first sign I should have just turned around and left was the "greeter/hostess" character who just said to go anywhere I wanted to sit. I took a look around at the food that was prepared and I saw one real vegetarian dish, just tofu and vegetables. Nothing exciting there. So, I asked the lady if I could see a menu. She rudely demanded why, I explained that I was unimpressed by the vegetarian selections available in the buffet. She was incredulous and took me around the buffet, rudely pointing out veggie fried rice, green beans, mushrooms, and veggie egg rolls as if I was an imbecile and didn't understand that they were vegetables. All I wanted was maybe some sesame tofu or something like that but at this point, I had already spent almost half of my lunch hour riding my bike around looking for a place to eat, so I begrudgingly got a plate and started to fill it up. I sat at an empty table, and realized that there wasn't silverware. I got back up and started looking around for silverware. Another customer, probably a regular, knew of the secret place in the corner where they keep them and got one for me when she saw me looking around. I sat back down, and realized that I didn't have a drink either. I saw that they had one person just going around taking drink orders for all the tables and then taking her sweet time bringing them drinks, between answering the phone and packing up food for take out. I finally was able to flag her down and ask for a drink, and she eventually brought it to me, after answering the phone and packing up more food for take out. The food was terrible, some of the worst "chinese" I have ever had. I barely finished my plate, only because I was so hungry. Eventually, I got up to pay at the counter, and it took another 5-10 minutes for the lady to come back and ring me out. I almost just walked out because I was sick of the service and sick of waiting. By the time she rang me out there was another guy waiting behind me to also check out, and the brilliant hostess assumed we were together and rang me up for two meals. After I explained that I was there by myself she fixed it and acted like I was the idiot. Never going back here, avoid this place at all costs! —JoeyMac

After several calls the delivery finally arrive, and when we open up the food, we see no sweet & sour sauce for the chicken, just bad chicken. The rest of the food was pretty terrible too, especially the sushi rolls. —GinaBenedetti

One of the hostesses was visibly and audibly sick (she wouldn't shut up about it), yet still handling drinks and making sushi. The other hostess was wearing sweatpants with a workout top and looked like she had woken up solely for what limited lunch 'crowd' they had. Saying anything about their horrific food would only be wasting my time and yours - don't go to this restaurant, EVER! —Welchrock

Wings - they have pretty decent wings believe it or not. I tried the sweet and sour and bbq wings. Pretty nice.
General Tso's - not bad, pretty spicy. Not the best though.

Lunch Buffet- small selection overall. Theres 2 carts with about 10 dishes on each. Felt like a pretty limited selection of meat though. 3 types of egg-rolls were taking up lots of room! Theres also salad bar but who really goes to the salad bar at a chinese buffet?
Food was alright, nothing special, but its cheap. —Drogean

2009-02-26 12:34:28   We went for dinner and should've left immediately when we realized there were no other customers there. Instead, we ordered 2 "econo-combos" which are two half-size portions of an entree, rice or lo mein, and a small cup of soup for $5.95. Between the two of us, we got 2 small portions of sesame chicken, 1 general tso's chicken, 1 beef with broccoli, white rice, vegetable lo mein, wonton soup, and hot & sour soup. We also ordered hot tea, which was very weak. The food was pretty bland and only lukewarm, but given the price it wasn't too bad. Until we found bones (several!) in our sesame chicken. At that point we stopped eating and decided to leave. Slow service overall. —bqkali
