My mom caught me looking and she took a look at the floor as well then picked up her fork and made a not-so-happy face. So! I sat down and looked around and noticed the horrendously filthy floor. I didn't want to be a negative Nelly and complain to my mom about what I had seen, I just wanted to try to enjoy the dinner. Dirty as in having not had a good mop or scrub down in YEARS. I washed my hands and on the way out I could see the entrance to the kitchen and how dirty the doors, as well as the hallway floors were. I thought, "Ok, that's gross" but continued down the hall to the bathroom. I made my way down a long hallway where I noticed a cart sitting next to the outside of the bar (but still on the dining floor, in the eyesight of customers) with two bins filled to the brim with yucky, nasty dirty dishes. Why am I telling you this? Because I'm a clean person and I like the places I eat to be clean too. We were seated in less than five minutes, my mom sat down and I excused myself to the bathroom to wash my hands. I found the idea kinda grody but shrugged it off because we really wanted to give the place a try. They have a very noticeable odor when they're not clean. While waiting I saw a dirty fish tank at the front next to the register in the dining room (eww) and also noticed that the fish tank stunk like, well, a fish tank. We walked in to an empty restaurant except for one large table in the middle which had aprox 10 people wrapping up their meal. Went here for a Mothers Day dinner and REALLY wanted to give it a try after hearing on NextDoor how great the food was. Crab rangoons are super popular these last few years, yt people on social media won't shut up about them, I'm not sure why these are not sold here? Americans also like hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, sizzling rice soup, there's no need to get creative with a "Chinese chicken noodle soup". Some things like the Kung Pao shouldn't be changed, most Americans like this dish the authentic Chinese way. I think this place could do better business with some quick changes. seemed like someone tried to make a fusion version of chicken noodle soup.

In general the food is cheaply priced, you get free egg roll, fried wonton skins, and soup with your order.


The Kung Pao had so much extra green veggies that didn't belong in there, like lots zucchini, it was probably one of the reasons why the whole dish seemed watery and lacking flavor. Regarding the food, the handmade pot stickers were passable but I was missing the extra crispies because they didn't add cornstarch to the water. I was hoping for an authentic Chinese food experience but didn't find it here. The Chinese cook who I spoke with (she may be the owner) was my best part of coming here.
