We ordered the family meal. It didn’t feel seasoned all that well. It was about $15.50 per person for it, not bad but higher than other places we’ve been to, but it was a lot of food. Due to the pandemic, they took our order and delivered it to our car while we waited. Unfortunately, they didn’t give us chopsticks but that seems to be the norm so we used the forks we keep in the car.

So: the BBQ pork in my china gate fried rice tasted like it was cold before or like It was reheated a couple times in a microwave or something you know what I mean? Oh, also I got the shrimp 's on the side bc my Mom is allergic and so I ate some of them out of one of 'the on the side ' containers sadly the morning after I did I was vomiting bile from both ends all day and night. Pepto and whole milk were the only thing to help. I didn 't eat anything else after I ate the shrimps which is why I 'm going to assume it was then. Hurray for food poisoning. . With that being said I 'll probably find a new place to get my mom 's birthday dinners from.

The meals came out in about 3 minutes, and the vegetables on both meals were raw (giant pile of celery) or from a can (warm but not sautéed). The chicken in both seemed ?off? ? funny taste/appearance, and both dishes were flavorless. Mine was in a strange white gooey sauce. We only ate a couple bites before politely requesting to speak to a manager. The manager came to our table and did not listen to our calmly stated concerns; she immediately began pointing and raising her voice to tell us that they only use fresh vegetables, no canned (obviously this was not true). She the proceeded to loudly insist that we should not have ordered the two meals, that we should have only ordered one if it is too much for us. She refused to so much as discount the meals. We did not eat or take our meals, paid for our ticket, and left with me in tears. Especially with my husband sick to his stomach within a few minutes and only a couple bites of chicken, I am thankful we ate no more. It was the single worst restaurant experience I have ever had, which is sad because the other staff was so kind. Unfortunately I will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone. UPDATE: My husband got food poisoning ? still sick three days later. It was definitely the chicken that made him ill. We should have just walked out but felt morally uncomfortable about that option. At this point I highly regret paying for such a pricey, atrocious meal.

Wait staff was friendly and brought us our water but didn't bother us over and over. If you want something like chopsticks you should ask the first time because you probablywon't see them again until you get the check.

If I had known how big it was we would have ordered one meal. I think if they changed to half portion with the price it would be perfect. Overall the waiter was nice and the food came out fast. The food was good as well.
