I was so hopeful when taking a job a couple of years ago and also living very close to this place and have visited this restaurant about 8 times in the 2 years. Disappointed each and every time. I love egg fu young and the first time I got it was decent for a fast food style chinese restaurant. The next 2 times was terrible. Burned on the outside, dry on the inside and the gravy had the consistency of peanut butter. Sweet and sour pork is just ok, more breading than pork, sesame chicken was bland and overcooked. My last visit on 1/28 was perhaps the most disappointing of all. I walked in to order take out. I ordered sweet and sour pork and vegetable lomein. Got my order and got home to find vegetable fried rice instead. First let me say they do not seem to use regular rice, it's more like instant rice in all their dishes. I have never gotten anything with actual fresh vegetables, the have to be either frozen out of a bag or come from a can. The only difference in the vegetable fried rice is they add some soggy broccoli and and those little corn cobs out of a can. Otherwise it was simply a big pile of fried rice. The only thing consistent about this place is that the portions are large and it's cheap if that's your thing. To me cheap and quantity is still a waste of money if it is not good. I will not go back and it's a shame because it is convenient to me. Instead I'll pay a little more and get fresh Chinese/Asian food from one of the Asian fusion places in Uptown.
