    I asked for two shrimp rolls opened these to find a ton of cheese.

    I work up the street and I love Chinese food so they had a loyal customer until today the woman's attitude has always been a little funky she never smiles she grimly says thank you sometimes but most of the time she's quick and cold which is fine as long as the food is good I'll pay whatever but today I ordered two shrimp rolls which is what I usually get on my lunch break when I'm short on time and I get to work and it's two cheesesteak rolls in the bag I have never eaten a cheesesteak roll in my life I call her and tell her and she's like no you ordered a cheesesteak roll then she's like OK if you bring it in I'll give you the shrimp rolls like am I being punk shrimp rolls are only like one dollar I can't believe she was serious and I won't be back such a weird situation. I was hungry the rest of my work day. Here's a picture of whatever the flip she gave me .

    Six large shrimp rolls, they've cut back on the size of the shrimp and the amount of shrimp, although they are not those tiny shrimps you find in many egg rolls, still tasty=$7.50 Eight crab rangoons, like any one else's now, not over stuffed, still tasty, but I think I'll skip them on my next order=$3.95 Eight fried chicken wings and drumettes, very crispy and meaty, hubby loved them=$3.50 Ten large fried sea scallops, barely coated and so tender, a pleasant surprise, for $3.95 are they serious? Where else could you find a bargain like this? Sesame shrimp, so many large shrimp, too much breading for me, great sauce and lots of crisp veggies=$9.25 General Tso's shrimp, nice and spicy, hubby ordered this and the sesame shrimp, he likes all of that breading more than I do, but plentiful on the shrimp and veggies=$9.25 Crispy shrimp, barely coated with panko and black pepper, served on a mix of lettuce and Chinese cabbage, these were smaller shrimp, but I really enjoyed these, it kind of ruined it when we were spitting out the shells that they did not remove, we quickly learned to peel them, but there goes the delicious coating ;+{ =$9.25 Jumbo shrimps and bay scallops, a real winner, no breading, cooked to perfection and swimming in a fabulous garlic sauce with crisp veggies=$9.25 Seafood delight, don't order it folks, it was to have lobster and it did have half of the smallest tail you have ever seen, so over cooked and chewy and slices of fake crab meat to replace the lobster, since crab is not even listed in the description, a fair amount of shrimps and bay scallops all tender, along with crispy vegetables=$11.95 Shrimp lo mein, still very good, the amount of shrimp is plentiful, but the size has gotten smaller, one quart=$7.25 Kung Pao shrimp, one of my favorites and they do it just right, large halves of fresh mushrooms, large pieces of onion, scallions and peppers, love the sauce and plenty of large shrimp and peanuts=$8.75 Shrimp fried rice, I even paid extra for them to add egg to the dish and it was still very minimal and they still can not cook rice, it was so under cooked, I will not order this again.=$6.75 + $1.00 for the missing egg. Szechuan Shrimp, another one of my favorites and they do it justice!=$8.75 Shrimp tempura roll, outstanding, their wasabi kicks ass and they are not chintzy with it or the pickled ginger=Hello $4.00! Yay! Boston Roll, love this stuff, I could eat it daily, especially for what it costs=$4.00! Met Roll, spicy tuna roll with cucumber and a spicy Mayo, topped with shredded " crab meat", NOT! Don't tell me you are going to top it with crab and then top it with mounds of that fake stuff, I would rather pay extra for the real McCoy!=$7.95 The white rice that came with the meals was very gummy, yet the fried rice was again very under cooked, it's pretty sad when I need to teach the Chinese how to cook rice! I must admit that the rice in the sushi was cooked perfectly this time. Delivery is prompt and accurate, the staff is very friendly. Did I over order? Of course I did, I'm like a monkey when it comes to Chinese take out! Total $116.80, minus using a 10% off coupon=$111.43 with tax, free delivery and a hefty cash tip, but now I know what to order and what not to order in the future. These were all quart sized servings, except for the sushi, their prices for sashimi and sushi are unreal and I will be ordering this from them more often! Will we be eating Chinese food, morning noon and night for the next one hundred meals, you betcha! Again 3.5 stars.

Went on yelp, found this place, and was pleasantly surprised. Walking in the sports bar was a little tight and packed but from the dining room in the back you couldn't hear any of the noise. Rylie was our server and she was the absolute perfect server for us. We are goofballs on a good day and a walking circus troupe on others. She laughed with us, gave us drink and appetizer suggestions, helped my indecisive behind pick and entree, and quickly became part of the family. She is the type of server that you come back to a place just to see. We love you RY ; We even got to meet the chef Al, the man responsible for the kick ass brisket tacos that our group is still talking about a week later. Making it our business to stop in for his smoked wings and ribs. Do yourself a favor and stop by this "blink and you'll miss it" roadside place, you and your wallet will be happy that you did!!

The floor in the main dinning room is pulling apart and is duct taped together. The chairs and tables are flimsy and falling apart. I asked for a blood orange margarita as it was the special of the day. It was not drinkable. It was some sort of powder or mix that was so sour and overly sweet. It did not have any tequila in it. I literally took one sip and left it there. The cheesesteak was good on a seeded roll. It was ribeye and it was done well. Hence tge two stars. The bbq platter had brisket, pulled chicken, ribs, corn and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was the best thing on the platter. The pulled chicken was sitting in a bowl of grease. The brisket was big globs of fat. The ribs were okay. They put a tiny line of sauce on each item. The service was rushed and spotty. I had heard good things, so we decided to give it a try. Very disappointed. There are so many good places around this area now, there is no need to go here again.

We waited close to an hour for our entrees while the restaurant continued to fill up. With a hungry toddler, the long delay made it difficult to enjoy the visit. After waiting so long, we ultimately asked to have our food packed to go because staying any longer wasn't practical for our family. We also noticed that several nearby tables appeared to receive their entrees before we did, despite arriving after us, which left us feeling overlooked. As Asian and Puerto Rican customers, this made us wonder whether we were being treated differently. We can't know for certain what caused the delay, but the experience left us feeling unwelcome and overshadowed what should have been an enjoyable meal. (Edit: the food that we took home was delicious and beautifully presented but couldn't overshadow the service and unwelcoming presence)

My friends and I ordered clam chowder, a truffle fries, calamari, crab cakes , breadsticks, and a seafood platter with ramen. The clam chowder was creamy. Not sure if it's cause we each tried some to see if we like it, but I didn't even taste any clam in the soup! The truffle fries were very crispy, definitely can tell it's freshly made. Breadsticks and crab cakes, on the other hand, were slightly overcooked. They are no golden brown but darker brown color to me. Maybe that's the way they cook and serve them. As for the main dish, the seafood patter with ramen, it was not bad. I normally order butter or max two flavors, but this time, the group wants to try triple flavors. It wasn't bad but slightly salty, which is predictable, but definitely flavorful. This is the first time i add ramen to my seafood boil. It was delicious. The ramen soaked up all the sauce and flavors. Well worth trying. Our waitress was very friendly and filled with smiles. Great service! The restaurant itself was pretty big with many tables and, I believe, two party rooms. Great for special occasions and celebrations. They have a big parking lot so parking shouldn't be too much of a problem.
