However, second day we thought getting a quick bite before we head over to the airport back to LA. But holy crap the service was rude as F. We first went in and the front desk lady took us to a window desk which was nice but she hesitated and give us another seat. We asked her so we can't sit at window seat? She responded "no" without given a reason. Guess what?! The next thing you notice she lets a nice looking Caucasian family sit at the window seat. Hey that's fine! but we are now trying to order some food now, but guess what? Waiter just ignores us and kept going to the window seat with his passionate services he was providing. While I was trying to ask for a tea... he didn't even ask what kind of tea and just throw me a random tea... I was furious cause this never happened in California at least not to me. He kept going to the window seat and ignoring us. So we just got up and left. 0 tips required to give in this restaurant. Very rude service and plays FAVORITE on which customer they decide to treat well. RUDE SERVICE and please stop discriminating!!!

The staff came across as very rude and at times dismissive. I'm not sure if it was due to miscommunication or the restaurant being busy, but it definitely impacted our experience. We were also given dirty utensils on more than one occasion, which was disappointing. As for the food, it was okay at best. The standouts were the peking duck and the salt & pepper squid, which were easily my favorite dishes of the meal. Everything else was fairly average. Overall, while there were a couple of dishes I enjoyed, the poor service and cleanliness issues would make me hesitant to return.

We happened to arrive during their "happy hour" so we got some "linner" prices. Hubs ordered the house special tossed noodle. He liked it cuz he felt it was authentic. He liked the fried garlic that added an extra kick. I had the bbq roast duck noodle soup cuz I was wanting some comfort food. I was impressed with the roast duck that was not fatty and the little bit of onion helped accent the flavor of the soup. Hubs especially the duck sauce which he thought was strong but once you get used to it he said it brought out the flavor of the duck. The service and ambiance was your typical chinese restaurant. Nothing great, nothing bad, nothing to be expected. I would definitely come back if I was in the area and craving chinese food.

They make their noodles in house and they taste fresh and have got a good texture. You are welcome with a complimentary bottomless jasmine tea. This tea tastes refreshing and floral. I have tried few of their dishes. I like their steamed chicken with rice. It's topped with julienne ginger and chopped red Birds Eye chillies. If you love spicy food, I will highly recommend this dish. It's a simple dish but done so perfectly. It's always tender and juicy. Their ginger beef with Shanghai noodles is amazing too. Plus any meat sauted in black beans sauce is worth a try. I feel prices are a bit on higher side. For chicken and rice it's $14.95 plus tax. Normally in most similar places they would give you some kind of sautéed vegetables. Still overall a great place to have lunch or dinner. Service is always great. Highly recommended!!

After living in China for a year, I love coming to Fat Kee. My favourites are the pan fried…read moredumplings, the salt and pepper squid, and the hot and sour soup. Takeout is super easy, and our food has always been ready 15 minutes after ordering by phone. Fat Kee is located in the back corner of an industrial-type area, so sometimes the parking lot is full; however, we have always been able to find a spot. The dining area is comparable to a school cafeteria, but the trade off in good food is worth any fanciness you might care about. Sandy is our usual server, and she is prompt, professional and friendly. I don't know how she keeps track of all her responsibilities, but she is really on top of things!

Staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and nicely presented. Their menu is quite extensive so it took some time to decide what to order. I do suggest ordering a clay pot entree as it is part of their namesake. The clay pot was hot enough that there was a crispy, scorched layer of rice to snack on. I actually enjoy eating that crispy rice and appreciate a restaurant preparing this dish correctly. I also liked the ambiance of the restaurant. There was a slide show on both walls of the restaurant that made for a captivating and unique experience.

The Chinese name of this restaurant sounds exactly like 豔遇 (Yàn Yù), which translates to a…read more"romantic encounter" or "fling." It's a pretty funny name for a restaurant, but it definitely made us a bit skeptical about how serious they were about their cooking. We came here specifically because it has "Szechuan" in the name, but we are almost certain Szechuan cuisine is not their actual specialty--at least, not compared to typical, authentic Szechuan spots. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: Ants Climbing a Tree (螞蟻上樹 - Glass noodles with minced pork) & Kung Pao Chicken (宮保雞丁): Both of these were just fine. The flavors didn't feel very cohesive--it tasted like the meat was just meat and the veggies were just veggies, rather than everything being cooked together to build flavor. Still, they were okay. Soup Dumplings (小籠包 - Xiao Long Bao): These were questionable. We noticed some grayish, coagulated blood seeping out from the pork filling inside the dumplings, which was a bit of a "yikes" moment. Fuqi Feipian (夫妻肺片 - Szechuan Sliced Beef and Offal in Chili Sauce): This was a disappointment and off the mark. Typically, this dish features meat deeply pre-marinated in rich chili oil and numbing Szechuan peppercorns (花椒). Instead, this tasted exactly like standard braised beef shank and offal (滷牛腱 牛雜) just sitting in some diluted chili oil. We ended up skipping the rest of this dish entirely. Looking around, I noticed most of the other tables were ordering entirely different things, so perhaps they excel at non-Szechuan dishes. Overall, it gets a 3. It wasn't terrible, but just we won't be visiting again.
