The fried rice and Kung Pao chicken were decent, but the chow mein was definitely my favorite. The fried pork dumplings were good too.

First off, the rice...the BASE of this Asian dish, should never ever be long grain rice, but it was. The rice was flaky and did NOT pair well with the rest of the ingredients. In Asian dishes, rice needs to be medium (or even short) grain, so the rice sticks together, and you can pick up an entire "clump" of rice easily with chopsticks. Don't know if this was a permanent change, or if someone just got the wrong rice, but it really changed the dish, and not in a good way. Secondly, instead of a lightly fried egg that was still slightly runny, it was hard. Like, cooked all the way through hard. And I know it wasn't due to residual heat from the other ingredients, because it was very rubbery, the way overcooked eggs can get. I do hope this was just a one-time thing, and these are not permanent recipe updates, so I will give it another try and decide from there if I will continue to be a customer.

I will need to start slow. Thanks And Broth for the tasty offer! In support of biz, I also got the Grill Chicken Salad plus an Ube Cream Viet Coffee. WOW, chicken and salad portions were impressively huge! Chicken was perfectly marinated and grilled. Just delish. Greens were very fresh and crisp. However, there was still a lot of water on the greens. After I brought it home, salad got whimpy unfortunately. They need to let the salad drain to dry. Ube Cream Viet Coffee was decent... ube flavor blended with viet coffee nicely. Staff was friendly and nice. Food came out timely. Atmosphere was quiet at shared seating. You can't ask for a better combination of great tasting foods, friendly service, and nice ambiance. I'll be back to try their other specialty Pho combinations.

As for this particular location, I have to give them credit. It's nice, clean, and well-kept. The people working there were extremely friendly and nice--just beautiful people, inside and out. They were welcoming and did their jobs with a smile. As for the food... well, it's pretty much the same as always, and sometimes that can be disappointing. I ordered a pastrami burger, and I expected what anyone would expect: a burger with a nice, generous helping of pastrami. Unfortunately, that's not what I got. What I received was a burger with just a couple of strips of pastrami. Needless to say, that was disappointing. When you order a pastrami burger, you expect to actually get a good amount of pastrami on it. And honestly, I don't blame the employees. They're most likely following whatever portions they've been instructed to use in an effort to save money. I understand that businesses are dealing with higher costs, but cutting back on the very thing people are coming to you for isn't the answer. So this next part goes out to every Wienerschnitzel that is still operating: You need to do better. Wienerschnitzel is an American classic. It's an icon. You've been around for more than half of my lifetime, and you've been loved by generations of people. I understand that times have changed. I understand that food costs, labor, and everything else have become more expensive. But please don't lose sight of what made people love Wienerschnitzel in the first place. When someone orders a pastrami burger, give them a pastrami burger--not a burger with a couple of strips of pastrami. People are willing to pay for good food. They just want to feel like they're getting what they paid for. Wienerschnitzel has been around long enough to know what an American classic is supposed to be. Please bring some of that old Wienerschnitzel back. We're still here, and we still love it.
