    Went here for dinner today. We had three full tables and multiple dishes. Our table-spinner-thing was a bit lopsided and I was afraid the dishes would spill.

    The last time I went, three months ago, the waiter spilled our soup :( I think they're just in a frenzy.

    ---------
    Service:
    The waiters kept wanting to change our plates despite us saying we'll do it ourselves ('cause obviously the guy can't reach that far). They seemed very impatient. Multiple waiters since we were the only ones there [on a weekday's night].
    ---------
    Dishes we had:
    -Appetizer thing: with orange peels, ham, white and red carrots, weird meat, weird meat again. Don't question Chinese food o-o; .
    -Mayo shrimp and broccoli and cashews: there were sesame seeds! Whoah. The shrimp was okay; I'm not a big shrimp lover. The broccoli was so nicely soft and delicious. The sweet mayo is gross; I don't think this should be used at all but all Chinese restaurants seem to like it...
    -Seafood soup: Once again, not a big fan of seafood. It was okay.
    -Sweet and sour pork: (I think I named this wrong--the red ones?) It was great. Crunchy :D
    -Fish: They ordered my favorite one, so how can I resist? :D
    -Chicken: Half was fried with soy sauce, the other with some oil thing. Very dry, but still good. The skin was crispy.
    -Weird veggie dish: tasted funky.
    -Lobster: funky taste.
    -Fried rice: with dried fish things and shrimp things. Yuck. Okay, I'm just not a fan. I'm biased.
    -Fried thin noodles: Laced with sesame oil. Definitely was not cool. Filled with ginger and a few beansprouts.
    -Other stuff I can't remember.
    -Red bean porridge and oranges: yay! This was probably the best part. Oh, and the tea.
    -Peanuts: haha. I just had to put this here. They're like the ones from the cans that are oily with salt on them. (:
    ---------
    Bathroom: just one. Cleanliness is fair.
    ---------
    Size: relatively small, but enough.
    ---------

    Basically, it's just like any other Chinese restaurant except this place had waiters who wanted to keep bothering us with our plates.

    AND, despite what the previous guy said about cheap prices: it's not cheap for dinner! They're almost $20 a dish!

    Ordered 2 dishes typically found in many Chinese restaurant - beef chow fun and veggie fried rice.  Both portion will last more than 2 days, because they gave soo much food for the price!  The food is insanely cheap and the portion is huge!  This place is good for those who are broke ass, like myself, who wants take outs to last for more than 2 days.

    Our waitress disappeared a few minutes after we placed our order for 1/2 roast duck, roast pork, the green leafy vegetables that everyone else in the place was eating, rice and two soups.  We got our soup quickly, but there we sat, waiting uncomfortably for the next 15 minutes while we were completely ignored.  We called our waiter over and told him what we were waiting for (including my husband's beer) and he apologized and brought over the beer.  About 10 minutes later the duck came.  Then the pork.  No rice.  We also mentioned the veggies and he brought this plate of mixed vegetables that we didn't actually order.  No rice.  The duck they brought must have been the back 1/2 because it was all bones, fat and gristle.  The pork was tasty but not worth a 2nd visit.  We will never go back again.
