"To be honest, I visited Old Thousand II without the highest of expectations. I knew that I wouldn 't be eating traditional Chinese food and that it would be more Americanized. However, I was really pleasantly surprised with the menu and the food here! The servers were also very accommodating because I brought my dog, and they seated us outside and brought water for her. I came on a Sunday morning, so we had some items from the Sunday Brunch special. My group ordered the Mala Fried Chicken, Brisket Fried Rice, Cantonese Scramble, Chicken and Waffles, and General Tso 's Chicken. The Mala Fried Chicken was really good and reminded me of the crispy fried chicken you could get from a more traditional Sichuan Restaurant. The brisket fried rice was also good and a favorite among my group. The General Tso 's Chicken wasn 't remarkable but wasn 't bad either. The two standouts from my meal were the Chicken and Waffles and the Cantonese scramble. The waffles part of the dish were bubble waffles that you would find from a Hong Kong style dessert place, and they were honestly amazing. The waffle was crispy but had a soft interior, and they were a perfect, sweet complement to the fried chicken. I was surprised by how much I loved the Cantonese scramble. The people in the group I came with were Cantonese, and they had no idea what that was. But the egg was scrambled really nicely, and eating it with the rice and the chili sauce that was provided was a perfect sensory experience. If I come back, I would need to order this again!"

"The restaurant was cold. Every time the door open we got blasted with cold air. Our reservation was at 6 PM and we told them in advance that we had a show at 8 PM. The waitress did not even come to greet us till 6:20 PM. We gave her a drink orders which came 10 minutes later. She did not come to take our food order till 635 to 6:40 PM. We had to flag her down to give our food order and again reminded her we had theater tickets and she said she did see that in our reservation. At 7:05 PM, we still have no food. My friend also did not even get his drink. When I inquired about the food, she said that they’re very busy and she didn’t know when the food would come out. She said she would have the manager come and talk to me. The manager came over a few minutes later and said that the food would not come out for at least another 35 minutes. At this point, it was 7:10 PM. We told them that we had a show at 8 PM and we had to leave the restaurant by 7:40 PM which was noted when we made the reservation. She said that she sorry but the kitchen is very busy and they usually are not busy. She should not have accepted so many reservations. At this point, it was 715 and we had had not one bite to eat. We walked out of the restaurant and had to find some quick fast food to eat in order to make our8 PM show. It was the worst dining experience we have ever had. I have never been at a restaurant that they not give us one drop of food after sitting there for one hour and 15 minutes when we had a reservation. I will never go there again. They need to hire a lot more staff and reconfigure the door so patrons don’t get blasted with cold air every time the doors open."
