You might even think they're lacking in flavor or that the gravy is too thin.

The wonton noodles were empty. Overall, the meal was incredibly overpriced, although at least there was no MSG.

I really enjoy the food at this restaurant! I always get three egg rolls, the pan-fried house special, and BBQ pork with extra hot mustard. read more I really enjoy the food at this restaurant! I always get three egg rolls, the pan-fried house special, and BBQ pork with extra hot mustard.
