"Honestly,It's Christmas, I'm new here to Washington and my flight to visit my family got cancelled, because the world is upside down.SOOOO, I ended up not making anything or having anything ready for my solo dinner. I decided to get take out and of course, Chinese is the #1 for Christmas.I read a few reviews. It looked like a safe option for something tasty. However, I'm starting to believe people in Washington don't have tastebuds or don't know what quality food tastes like based on how many places I've been to that really is more basic tasting then actually good.I ordered General Tsao Chowmein Chicken.I opened them up and General Tsao is more like orange flavored, semi sweet, watered down chicken with A LOT of vegetables and the Chowmein, same thing again, I actually believe there are so many vegetables I'm eating a noodle salad then chowmein.It's incredible on the amount of vegetable to noodle ratio that's happening here.The flavor of the Chowmein is overcooked, so they're breaking apart into tiny pieces, watered down so little flavor, and honestly I hate it. I was expecting robust, full flavor, full noodles with delicious chicken to go with both.Instead I have an upset stomach, disappointed taste buds and I am down $35.I won't be eating here again, I doubt they'll read the review, but if you do read mine, take note, it's only ALRIGHT at best. If you want something worth $12-15 per entree, find a different restaurant.I would rate this place at less than $10 per entree and with all of the vegetables... I'd say $7.Sorry Mandarin Chinese Restaurant, you didn't make the cut. Let me know if you get a better chef. And again, I understand it's Christmas, but any chef a restaurant has should be a consistent representation of flavor."
