    Curry chicken with onions yummy and the egg roll was perfect
    William B C.

    Love the curry chicken with onion maybe one day I'll try something else very nice people enjoy our visits. Ambiance is a small restaurant with tables far enough apart that you're not bothered anyone.

    Pork lo mein and pork fried rice

    The food was amazing, the service was quick and friendly. Always willing to help out a family business.

    I have to rate it low because they would not sell me orange chicken with only white meat. I even offered to pay extra.

I came in to eat for the very first time and the waitress was very nice, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the beef and broccoli and I will be honest I did not like it so I only nibbled at it thankfully, because after picking at it i noticed a dead maggot. I scooped it onto a napkin and when the waitress came over to check on me I showed it to her discreetly and whispered that I'd found it in my food. She immediately snatched it out of my hands, said she had "no idea what it is" and hustled to the back of the restaurant where I heard her screaming I'm assuming at the cooks. I walked up to the front desk shortly after feeling absolutely disgusted and she charged me for the meal I was unable to eat and continued acting like nothing happened. I could have asked her not to charge me but I was so freaked out and revolted I didn't even think about it. I was trying to be understanding but after she snatched the literal dead maggot from me and gaslit me I wonder how many other experiences have been like mine.

The food is okay, not great. The service a bit of a mess, the ambiance is okay. Our table ordered Drunken Noodle which was good, red curry and green curry. We also had a coconut soup and an order of baby egg rolls. My favorite part of the meal was the baby egg rolls and that's kinda sad. My companions ordered Thai teas and I got sweet tea which my tea was fine. Hubby's drunken noodle was actually pretty good. My green curry (with tofu) was fine but the rice was mushy. We also got a mango sticky rice for dessert but it seemed the rice was leftover from yesterday maybe. I wish I had better remarks but again, this is not my first visit and I had similar complaints the first time. As far as service, the servers were nice enough and I think for the volume of patrons they were doing okay but it still was a bit of a mess. They were doubling the work trying to cover all tables when maybe they should've had separate sections. I think that would've quelled some of the overlap like both servers working to refill my tea and by the time one had, the other was coming with the pitcher. This next part is the fault of the kitchen. I watched table after table get served their dishes scattered, where one person would get theirs while the others at the table were waiting for theirs to come. Some would wait for the others to be served but some would go ahead and start eating ahead of their party. This happened the last time I was there as well. That needs to be tightened up. Personally, I wouldn't go back. The experience was a bit of a drag. We regretted ordering dessert as it took so long to come and we were antsy to get out of there by the time it came. The food was good enough but it could've been so much better and the service stayed afloat but certainly could be better.

However, $40 seems a bit overpriced for 1x sesame chicken, 1x honey chicken, 3 egg rolls and a small egg drop soup. Especially considering the quality of the food. The entree's vegetables were undercooked. Both chicken entrees tasted like they were fried in old oil. The lo mien has no seasoning or vegetables; just plain noodles. The "fried" rice provided with one entree was basically just streamed with a little soy and no vegetables. The egg rolls were large but only contained shredded cabbage resulting with very little flavor. I was extremely disappointed especially considering the price. Do not recommend and will not be going back.
