I love Westernized Chinese food, so it saddens me terribly to give this place two stars. The other reviews are very complimentary, but they're also years old. When I went there, the fried rice and mixed vegetables were ok, but the sesame chicken was limp, soggy, and relatively flavorless. Disappointing. :-(
Edit: Ate here a second time, and this time had their barbecue pork / char siu. It tasted ok, but was dry and a bit tough. Two stars still seems about right.
Edit 2: Why do I keep coming back here?!? The third time around I had their sesame chicken. It had very little breading and sauce, and thus tasted like... plain chicken, which is pretty much what it was. The next time I think of coming here, I need to look it up on Yelp first... -

Got a boba tea, gave me like teaspoon worth of Tapioca balls for $5!! Told them that on the photo above their head the tapioca is at least 3cm deep. They exclaimed that the tiny amount is all they will give me.
Terrible attitude and customer service. Treats customers like they are a nuisance. Will never go back. I've had food there too, was mediocre to say the least. -

I told them I wanted three items of food but they only gave me 2. I paid for 3 but they denied it. Their rating on Google at the moment is 1 star.

Full disclosure: I'm a huge fan of mall Chinese food and unhealthy deep fried chicken coated in sugary deliciousness. I've also been eating at this fine location since 2007. However, there has been a huge decrease in quality over the past year, so I'm compelled to Yelp about it!
I can't comment on the full menu, since I hate vegetables and don't eat pork. However, the staple on their menu, the sesame chicken has taken a significant nose dive. The texture leads me to believe the chicken content has been reduced to much less than 50% of each piece. When you cut a piece open, it's largely breading. The taste has also suffered as a result (obviously), and the after taste reminds me of a post-Halloween binge on crappy chocolate and candy.
Sadly, I'll have to find a new home for my post-day-from-hell indulgence. -

Hit and miss sometimes they have great food. Avoid the sweet drippy meats. they like to laddle from the bottom of the pan and pour it over everything ruining an already bad meal
