Disappointing Portion Sizes
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing due to the portion sizes. They fill the meat portion of the tray with chow mein, which makes it seem like they are not serving the right amount of chicken. This practice felt like a way to skimp on the actual meat.

Friendly Staff, Effective Service During Rush
My experience at this restaurant was marked by amazing customer service. The entire staff seemed genuinely friendly with everyone. I visited during a rush hour, and although the cashier appeared to be in training, she executed the line effectively. Her teammates were also really helpful, ensuring a smooth experience despite the busy period.

Great Food and Even Better Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. The food was great, and the service was even better. Although it's quite a detour from my daily commute, it's definitely worth it.

Manager saved the day!
I ordered catering in-person today, needing it for pickup in the late afternoon, just 2-3 hours after ordering. Although the team accidentally missed the order, the manager quickly intervened and arranged for it to be completed in about 10 minutes. The team showed good leadership and worked well together to cover up the mistake.

Rude Staff and Cold Food
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the rude and disgusting female workers who served me with a nasty frown. The hot orange chicken was also a letdown, as it was very hard and cold.

Uncoordinated Staff, Wrong Orders
My experience at this restaurant was marked by extremely uncoordinated staff. I was given a number for my food and used it to communicate my order, but they still couldn't identify which order was mine. Despite specifically stating my order, I was given the wrong one. The manager should probably be fired for setting up the employees this way.

Portions are hilariously small
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, primarily due to the portions. They were absolutely hilarious, giving enough protein to feed an ant. It seems like the portions shrink every year, and I'm consistently surprised by how small they get. When I wasn't asking for more, they quickly packed up my food, expecting me to be satisfied. I shouldn't have to point out that the portion doesn't look right to staff; that's not my role as a customer. Even when I gestured for help, a manager on her phone directed an employee to assist me instead of helping herself. The management and portions both suck. I honestly don't understand how this place is still in business.

Exceptional Service Saved the Day!
My experience at this restaurant was truly outstanding, primarily due to the exceptional customer service provided by the nicest team I've ever encountered. During dinner rush hour, I accidentally dropped my food on the ground. The management team handled the situation so well, swooping in to clean up the mess effortlessly and efficiently. They even offered me a new plate free of charge. This level of care and professionalism, especially during a busy period, was impressive. I'll definitely be back for more, purely because of this memorable service experience.

Disappointing Order Mix-up
I usually come here when I crave orange chicken, and it's normally good. However, this time was disappointing. They need better quality control for online orders. I ordered orange chicken and beef and broccoli, but when I opened it, I found orange chicken and broccoli with only the smallest single slice of beef. It's really disappointing to want beef and broccoli and receive just one tiny slice of beef with a lot of broccoli.
