"4.5 stars First of all, the servings are generous, almost uncomfortably too much at first but once you try the food... you ask yourself why can't these portions be the norm at other places? And isn't it fun to see if they can still close the boxes after? : Bbq pork is totally worth the extra charge. That tender glistening red colored meat can't be found anywhere else nearby that I know of. And you really can't go wrong with any of the chicken options... from orange to zesty to I think the Japanese style one. They cook up fast if low or missing a particular standard item. Just ask and wait patiently for a few minutes and you'll get some of the next fresh batch! From my personal experience with the staff, it's always been kosher. Maybe there is an individual worker that's been deserving of some recent negative reviews, but usually I've seen the Asian chef so it's legit right? , maybe he's the owner, in the back doing his thing in the kitchen. The young women cashier and servers in front grind too to take orders and help you get your food. Having said that, there may be off days and stressful bad days for folks on either side of the food counter... everyone is going through something. I also can't imagine the random crazies and rude people that food service has to encounter on the daily. Empathy and respect goes a long way in general, but esp for the food industry. Only knock I can think of is the inside is janky, but it is what it is. Frfr... if it was too clean, then you know the Chinese food woudn't be that great!"
