What can I say...What a dump! I stopped in here for a quick lunch because it was convenient for a business stop I had to make, what a mistake. I started by quickly using the restroom which was down two dingy stairwells with no banister. Once I reached the bottom I was treated to the stench of fresh cigarette smoke, clearly the help couldn't act like humans and go outside. The bathroom was a disgrace, that's all I'll say about it but make sure you bring your anti bacterial hand sanitizer. This should have been enough to walk out the door but I have a soft spot for diners and also it was 1PM, one hour after my daily feeding time. I bellied up to the counter and ordered a 1/2 Philly cheesesteak and onion rings (because I am still 7 months French fry free)! The food was pretty ordinary and the diet coke was either being watered down purposely or the fountain was broken, either way it was gross. I finished my meal and tried to pay with AMEX, I was informed they did not take AMEX. I thought to myself...'I wonder if they have ever considered putting a sign on the door that says, oh I don't know, we don't take AMEX'? I paid and ran out of there with what little of my dignity I had left. I'll be visiting this place again sometime in Nevuary.

FYI... Health department just gave them a poor rating on sanitation standards.

WOOOOO! Snap'into'a'sparerib! The newspaper clipping with a photo of the former and much younger Ric Flair posing for a pic with the owners of this shop on the wall gave us something to read while waiting for our takeout order. They provide excellent reading light - it's damn bright in there. We also spotted a board advertising they had received the award for top 100 Chinese restaurants, Um? Who judges these things? And then again what year? They have a few tables inside the VERY small restaurant. Few=three. They also deliver. While I am a sucker for a mom & pop shop which this one seems to be, I don't know bout this one. I'll make this short and include photos. If the food taste half as good as the pictures look , we would have been pleased. When the spare rib bag was torn open, we thought they looked delicious. Not so much. They were actually very, very dry and tough as if they had been reheated 100 times (hence my opening line).Same goes for the appetizer of roast pork. If you can believe, it was even more dry then those spare ribs.That appetizer hardly deserves to be mentioned but I have a photo, so I had to. The fried dumplings also looked good. Little dough covering the (small amount) of pork filling. The dipping sauce had no flavor AT ALL. That sucks, that's the best part of those things, the sauce! The shrimp fried rice looked pretty good with green peas and carrots thrown in. Poor little puny shrimp. Not only were they small, they were mushy. They never stood a chance. The photo shows the size of the shrimp compared to a cute little pea (they must have changed quality since their website photo was taken). The lo mein was meh. I had the house special. Includes (sparingly) shrimp (poor baby's) and chicken and some fatty beef. They do seem to have a number of tofu choices so if that's your thing you might have better luck. My boyfriend and I both agree, nothing stood out enough for us to make a second visit. NOPE. Not even the photo of Ric Flair. WOOOOO!

I used a groupon for lunch at this place which was a smoking deal. And I really wanted to like it. I really did. But unfortunately the food was just not good. I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap. The tortilla was very dry which made the whole thing fall apart. I had to cut it up and eat it with a fork. And if it wasn't for a few drops of buffalo sauce that I saw but couldn't taste, I probably would have sent it back thinking it wasn't what I ordered. It didn't taste like it had any sauce what-so-ever in it. I would've guessed it was a grilled chicken wrap with no sauce. And the little "salad" that came on the side was more like some leaves of lettuce with a drop of oil on them. There was no flavor at all! This place does deserve some credit for the atmosphere. The place is super cute and the service was good. All of the staff was very friendly and I really liked the feel of the place. Which made it even more upsetting the food didn't match the ambiance. But I will give this place another try. Maybe in the evening because it looks like it might be a cool place to chill and have a drink!
