0 Stars isn't an option?

I have to say…..this was the worst Chinese experience I have ever had.

Maybe their specialty lies in other dishes….but most definitely do NOT try the Sweet and Sour Chicken, or the Sesame Chicken.

I however will never know….because I wont be back. I may not even go into the shopping plaza again because I would see the restaurant…and it would just conjure up the horrid images burned into my head about this dining experience…..it was that bad.

Dishes I tried:

Sweet and Sour Chicken

Again…1 star because 0 isn’t an option…
The Sweet and Sour chicken came dry with fried rice and an egg roll….but the sweet and sour sauce was ONLY packets of duck sauce! I was shocked…and confused…

The breading on the chicken it self was ok…but who has ever heard of DRY sweet and sour chicken with packets of duck sauce? To sum up the dish….think chicken McNuggets……with no dipping sauce……yeah thats about it. No veggies either….

Sesame Chicken

Again…1 star because 0 isn’t an option…

The Sesame Chicken was very hard and dry….and with no broccoli like it says on the menu AND in the picture. The texture of this chicken was Nothing like the Sweet and Sour Chicken…it was like eating breaded bones….with a not very good sesame sauce. Steer Clear…unless your looking for dog food…..and only then if you hate your dog.

Egg Roll

The Egg Rolls have a strange flavor too them…that I have never tasted in an egg roll ….I won’t go into specifics….but they do not shine at producing egg rolls.
