A: The food here was actually not so bad. Looking from the outside, you wouldn't think so, but the food is well worth it. Give it a try! My friend and I got the sampler and it was great!

Q: positive

A: Ate here with my wife and Mom while visiting a few weeks ago. I live in Chicago and grew up in the suburbs with a Chinese friend, so I know what good Chinese food tastes like. We ordered: home style tofu, short ribs, and orange chicken. The home style tofu was perfect and had a very nice consistency while the tofu was not simply deep fried and then stir fried - it was cooked properly (something that many restaurants could learn from - leathery tofu is no fun.) The short ribs were awesome! Nice sauce, and the meat was falling off the bone. Good stuff! The orange chicken was crispy and spicy and included the elusive but much wanted "candied orange peel" - caramelized the way I like it :-) It was nice that we could hop up and get refills on water and hot tea - I've seen few places that will do this. I've been ignored plenty while eating at Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants - I don't think it's rudeness - it's usually that the kitchen is busy and the restaurant is understaffed. We ate late, and were one of three tables. Our service was prompt and good. I think that sometimes you might have to get someone's attention to place an order - not the end of the world by any means for me based on my experiences eating in many restaurants in Chicago. We had leftovers for 2 meals to take home. It's nice that the take-out boxes are easy to find and are self-service. I hate waiting for boxes and hate even more when my food is taken back to the kitchen to be boxed (leaving food behind and anyway I like to see my food while it is boxed.) I'd give it a try if you are a student or are just in town for a few days.

Q: negative

A: The service here is awful. Our waitress brought us dirty silverware and did not once come to ask if everything was to our liking (there were maybe 10-15 people in the entire inside bar area with three waitresses). The all three waitresses were visibly standing in a circle texting on their phones and talking. The wine my friend ordered was obviously watered down, unfortunately I can't remember the name of the wine. I ordered one of their "specialty martinis" and it was definitely special... Even though I had not finished the special martini, I decided to try a very simple martini to see if the bartender was just out of his/her game for the first. I ordered a Vesper, a very common martini, and even explained what was in the drink so they did not confuse it. 3 part Gin,1 part Vodka, 1/2 part Vermouth, and a lemon twist - A simple mixed martini. What I received was a mess of vodka and vermouth. The waitress set the drink down and asked, "Did you want olives or lemon?" I replied, "Lemon..." (as explained when I ordered the drink). She returns with three lemon wedges, one of which was already squeezed and left in the cup. I asked for the check then she proceeded to stand by the register for another 10 - 15 minutes and text in my line of sight. I was only 20 feet away from her. I will not be returning to this place. You can get better service and more knowledgeable staff at a PT's Pub.

A:
Had a 10 for 20 dollar Living Social coupon so me and the fam decided to try it out. I guess I went AFTER the improvements were made all around because I had a very pleasant experience. Half the reviews were not too positive, but until you actually experience it for yourself, then you can reflect it here on Yelp. So my expectations were neutral. As we came in, the hostess greeted us and were sat down right away. About a minute later, Victoria, (who was our server), came by to take our order. As soon as we informed her we were noobs, she politely gave us a little overview of the menu. As we were deciding she got our drink orders and left to get them. When she came back, she gave us a small order of the Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins! I gotta say it was good and just the fact that Victoria gave us some to try was very commendable! I got the Fajita Nachos, my two kids got basic kids items, (chicken fingers, bean n cheese burrito), and my wife got endless chips and salsa. Good thing I only ordered one plate of nachos because what they give you is a lot! All for of us shared it after they ate their meal already and we still couldnt finish it! The chicken fingers were basically cooked like Katsu! For those that don't know what that is, its a chicken breast lightly breaded and deep fried to a golden crisp. For dessert, we had two choices: Deep Fried Ice Cream or a Churro topped with Ice Cream, Chocolate Drizzle, and surrounded by different colored tortilla chips. We chose the Deep Fried Ice Cream! Again, we all had to share it because it was a pretty good sized item. So props goes out to Victoria and the rest of the Nacho Daddy staff. I wouldnt mind bringing new people to this place especially if they are craving nachos.
