The people here are nice, but I was quite disappointed in my food tonight. I ordered the Family Dinner for Two so I could have leftovers for tomorrow. When you order any of the family dinners, they decide which entrees you get. The dinner for two is sweet and sour chicken and mongolian beef. I was not happy to get home and find that the chicken was breaded. I don't like breaded sweet and sour chicken. This seems to be the standard in most of Chinese restaurants these days. I think they do it that way to give you less chicken. The veggies and pineapple weren't even cooked in the dish. They were steamed and placed in a separate container, as was the sickly sweet sauce. The same mass-produced red sauce you get on every cheap Chinese buffet. If I'd wanted buffet food, there were other cheaper places I could have gone. I was stunned by what they call fried wontons. It literally is a deep-fried wonton wrapper. Not a dumpling. Not wrapped around anything. No filling. Just a fried wrapper. The menu says fried wonton, not fried wonton wrapper. I couldn't finish the egg roll. It had a funky fishy taste. The menu also said my meal would come with sizzling rice soup. It was a seafood and chicken soup. It was good, but it was not what is on their menu. It's too bad it was such a disappointing meal. I got a lunch combo there not long ago and enjoyed it. Did not enjoy tonight's meal, and if I ever return, I will not order a family dinner again or an egg roll or fried wonton or sweet and sour chicken or sizzling rice soup.  The customers should be able to choose which entrees they want in their meal. And the fried wrapper? Just no.

Addendum: It appears that I did get the correct soup. Just opened a bag that I thought was those greasy fried noodles they give you to put on top of your food (I always trash them), but it was a bag of what appears to be freeze-dried rice. I suppose I was suppose to dump them into the soup. Whaaaaat???? Dried rice? Just no, no, no.

I can't say this was good at all, the chicken came on top of something that looks like shredded styrofoam, feels like styrofoam, and taste like styrofoam... And my chicken was served on top of lettuce... I can't say I will be back
