    A. Fried Chicken Wings

    I have ordered from here a number of times and they cook my food wrong everytime and at this point I just have to choose a different Chinese food restaurant. I just want my chicken wings extra well done, fryer extra hard. Double fry my chicken if you have to and every time weather I pick up or call for delivery they just cook the chicken regular. This is getting disappointing and disrespectful cause it's not the first time. If I order for pick up they tell me 10 15 minutes over the phone but chicken wings take 10 to 15 minutes just to be cooked properly. Which I have told them no please cook my chicken longer I will wait 25 to 30 minutes for my order to be cooked properly not only is this what I'm ordering but it's what I'm paying for. I have gotten there and opened my food just to have them put my chicken back in the fryer and you would think they get the message that i need my chicken fryed hard. Today I order for delivery telling them at least three times to double fry my chicken where they even put me on hold for like 30 seconds and I can hear them asking if they can double fry the chicken and they get back on the phone and say yes they can it will be at least 40 minutes for delivery. Now mind you I am not lying when I say they get to my house in less than 15 minutes I live less then a 5 minute drive from the restaurant which means they only cooked the chicken for 10 minutes which means there is no way you doubled fryed something that takes 10 minutes to cook. Now once again I have to put my chicken wings in the air fryer to cook them properly. If I wanted or had the time to cook my own chicken then I would have made my own dinner. But no I choose to give this restaurant my hard earned money and explain to them to please cook my chicken extra well done and please double fry the wings if you can, which they agreed to. For them to then show up to my house within 15 minutes is a huge slap in the face. I should have driven down there to show them the chicken wings and asked them how could they double fry my chicken within an 10 minutes. I'm posting a picture of my wings being double fryed by ME the CUSTOMER who just PAID for Chinese to be delivered so I can EAT but no I had to WAIT for cooked food I bought to be cooked AGAIN by me once it was delivered. Sad part this isn't the first time I had to re fry my chicken wings once they got delivered cause they were not cooked how I ordered it. This is getting old and starting to look like my fault for still ordering from this place trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. There acting like there doing me a favor for cooking my food but yet I'm paying for it. Long story short if you want your chicken fryed hard and you order from here be prepared to plug in your air fryer or heat up some grease.

    Piece of metal in food

    Found a piece of metal in my food. I should've been skeptical about ordering from here, seeing that this has happened before. But this is so unacceptable and scary. And I'm happy I didn't feed this food to my kids.

    Found this piece of metal in my General Tso's chicken. 
Never. Again.

    Food is always good, they never mess up on my order, I just hate how the drivers don't get out the car for delivery, but expect a tip.

The place looked spacious and with a lot of light, it looked clean and they seemed to have a nice selection of wines (for those that like it) , they were displayed for people to see, which I thought looked very nice. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and I found it odd that there was only 1 restroom for the size of the restaurant. Our waiter was nice, he took our order and we were excited. The food took a VERY long time, we were starving, and we had kids with us so that wasn't good. Some of our orders were wrong and so unfortunately we had to wait even longer for the right meal. We didn't order alcohol but we did older a couple of mocktails. I was SUPER excited for them because that's something I always appreciate at a restaurant. I'm sad to say that they were AWFUL!! straight up syrup, not bubbly (some were supposed to have soda in them) not sweet, simply not enjoyable at all, I ended up switching it for a simple club soda, I figured it was a safe bet. When my food came out, it was ok, I had the avocado toast, and it was forgettable, my sister had the chicken and waffles and now THAT was the meal to get, it was large in portion and that chicken was beyond tasty!! My other sister has the lomito sandwich with the chips and it was good, something missing but she enjoyed it. The rest of the food were burgers and they were ok, the kids had burgers and Mac and cheese and they were not tasty according to the children's disinterest in barely touching their food (and they love cheeseburgers). I'm always willing to bypass certain things as long as customer service delivers BUT unfortunately they fell short. We were celebrating an engagement and so we were all very happy and in a great mood, when suddenly workers around us were cleaning up the neighboring tables, and even sweeping very close to us. We thought the place was possibly closing? (Even though it was only 2:15pm). I asked if they were closing and they said that they close the restaurant from 3-4 so their employees can go eat .... I'm not against giving them a break BUT, it really felt like they were kicking us out, we felt pressured to eat fast and wrap it up, not a good feeling, when you are in the zone of happiness. It was our first time there so, I would have appreciated if they would have informed us that the restaurant takes a little break in between and then we would have decided if we wanted to stay or go elsewhere. They did bring a little dessert and 2 mocktails for the newly engaged which was nice, I'll give them that. Overall, I don't think the food and experience was worth me coming back or recommending this place, I'm sure there's other much better places.
