    Upon arriving 26 minutes before closing I order chicken spring rolls Sam tells me it'll take 8 minutes to make, that's fine. Then she proceeds to tell me they're already cleaning up fryers. I'd expect at least close to 30 minutes before closing you'd still want to make as much money as you can before closing. I mention you already told me you'd be able to make it why wouldn't you mention that in the beginning? Terrible service

    It was clean and they handled our group of seven very efficiently. All good selections were full and fresh!

    4/08/19- Panda Express 2960 S Academy blvd.  This  is how our food was packed- everything old.

    Panda Express at 2960 S Academy blvd- I tried to give this location another try... it's been 6 months since my initial review and nothing has changed. There are so many issues from old food, to bad customer service. Went in to pick up food 545 pm 4/8/19- What we got was disgusting food. Walnut shrimp old, rice was pasty, chow Mein Noodles old. Beef broccoli soggy full of SALT. Corporate needs to step in at this location cause it needs some serious help from the food, and the staff working here. Elizabeth E please get her more training with serving food. I wish I could give NO stars cause that would be appropriate for this location. We will never be back!

    Orange chicken "plate"

    Lines are always really long and slow moving as service is subpar here. They're usually sold out of a lot of menu items. The last time we went the orange chicken was not good at all and the rice was very dry and overcooked. I got a plate and had a couple pieces of chicken, the same amount of chicken as my sister who just got the bowl. Won't be coming back here again. Portions seem to get smaller every time we come.

    Chow lo mien after picking out the whole onion they put in it.

    Great service, good portions, good food! Affordable and quick. I had the sesame chicken:read more

    **Ambiance** The…read morerestaurant itself is a decent size with plenty of seating and large booths, so it would be comfortable for families or larger groups. **Service** Service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The staff spoke English as well as either Cantonese or Mandarin, which initially gave me high hopes for the food. **Food** I won't lie--I came in with pretty moderate expectations. After chatting with the staff in both Mandarin and Cantonese, I thought we were in for a really authentic meal. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We ordered five dishes, and it quickly became apparent that the food is heavily catered toward American tastes. Several dishes contained ingredients that traditionally wouldn't be included, while other key ingredients were missing altogether. The biggest issue for me was the sweetness. Three of the five dishes were noticeably sweet, which isn't what I expected from the dishes we ordered. The standout dish of the meal was the Mongolian Beef. It was flavorful and wasn't overly sweet. That said, it lacked the spice I typically associate with the dish. The Mapo Tofu was probably the biggest surprise. It was missing the ground pork that usually gives the dish so much flavor and texture. Instead, it included bell peppers, onions, and water chestnuts--ingredients I've personally never seen in Mapo Tofu. Rather than being spicy and numbing, the dominant flavor was sweetness. The Chicken Pan-Fried Noodles were difficult to enjoy. The sauce was very sweet, and the noodles were cooked to the point where they were tough and chewy. Instead of the thinner noodles commonly used for this dish, they used thick noodles that reminded me more of lo mein. We also ordered a Beef and Scallion dish. It felt more like a beef chop suey variation with scallions added. The scallions themselves were cooked perfectly, but once again the sauce leaned much sweeter than expected. The Hot and Sour Soup was actually the first item to arrive. I jokingly told my family that if the soup wasn't good, I might be worried about the rest of the meal because hot and sour soup is one of those dishes that really showcases balance and technique. Unfortunately, it ended up confirming my concerns. It lacked the bold sour and spicy flavors that make the dish so enjoyable. By the end of the meal, we had a lot of leftovers. The only items we brought home were the Mongolian Beef and a few pieces of beef picked out from the Beef and Scallion dish. **Overall** This restaurant may appeal to diners who enjoy sweeter, Americanized Chinese food, but it wasn't for me. Based on this visit, I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't personally recommend it to anyone looking for the flavors and dishes I grew up eating.

    Visiting from Denver as we stayed at Hotel Polaris, we found this "Dim Sum Tea House" on Yelp. This…read morearea of CO Springs seems run down and the homeless were abundant. It was 98-100 degrees and really think we should of chose a different place after our experience and lack of customer service here. Parking was $1.50 per hour (First 2 hours) and then goes up per hour on the side street in front of this establishment. When you walk in, the place looks cute but after wandering around, it needs a deep cleaning and dusting. Our table was sticky, floors dirty. If you sit at the tables, you have to take your shoes off. There is no clear direction of what to do. We waited and I believe the owner came out and asked if we had reservations. There was no one in there, two women were seated at the regular tables. Also, you are charged $5 per person for this "tea ceremony" which is basically the other worker pouring hot water in the tea pot. So you get one tea choice per person. My nephew wanted cold tea aka their boba. He asked for a Mango slush boba but got watery straight milk tea that was inedible. We asked if he could switch out for another drink but they said No! If he wanted another drink, they would charge another $6 which the lady said was $5 if you got cold or hot. As a business owner, if someone asks for another option, customer service would be to either take it off the tab or offer to remake it correctly. The dim sum was edible but not really. Hearing microwave beeps. They came out hot but I don't know how fresh. I guess coming from Denver, we have real dim sum on carts and CO Springs is just a weird city with essentric taste buds. All the places we ate at were not great but Yelp reviews had 4-5 stars for them. Also, the way the place is set up, we heard all of our tea server's convo's. I won't mention what we heard but definately not what you want to listen to. Pictures attached and trust me look better than what they tasted. Taro buns were the only thing we liked. I am confused how people like this place. Neat concept but needs a lot of work and cleaning.

    Found this hidden gem in CS and everything we ordered was really good! We stopped by for the lunch…read morespecials, which were super affordable. I got the sesame chicken, and we also ordered the Happy Family lunch special. Each meal came with an egg roll, one cream cheese wonton, and your choice of soup: egg drop, wonton, or hot and sour soup. Both plates were flavorful and seasoned well. The crab wontons were especially good. The egg roll was tasty too, but it had a little too much pepper for my liking. I still ate the whole thing though lol. We also tried the fantail shrimp, and those were definitely a must-have. For dessert, we got the sesame balls. They were good and pretty much what you'd expect from sesame balls. I also ordered a Thai tea, but it wasn't my favorite, it didn't have any flavor and probably not something I'd get again. The service was excellent, and the restaurant was very clean. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be back.

I guess it had been longer than I thought since my previous visit, as I didn't realize that the ownership/management had changed. The decor is old-school with comfortable booths, and the service is very good. I was greatly disappointed, though, that the orange chicken which I had always ordered when the restaurant had the previous ownership has drastically changed. It is no longer the light but flavorful stir-fry with sliced chicken breast, bok choy, celery, bell peppers, snow peas, carrots, bamboo shoots (I can't recall everything that was in it) and tangerine peels that I was craving. Today, it was the typical heavy, batter-dipped chicken coated by a sugary sweet sauce--probably great if you have a hankering for that type of American-style Chinese food, but nothing like what I was craving, unfortunately. My husband ordered Mongolian Beef which was OK, heavy on the sauce and five-spice seasoning. On the plus side, the egg drop soup is considerably better than with the previous ownership. It had tiny diced tofu, carrots, peas, corn?, in a lightly flavored chicken broth with eggs. I really liked the soup. While I very much appreciated the decor and friendly service, I am less likely to return, as the style of cooking is more American style with too much sauce and too sweet. I may return eventually and try some other dishes before I completely throw in the towel on a favorite take-out destination. Please consider bringing back the old orange chicken! You can name it something different if you need to, but I would return for that dish.
