We ordered a set dinner, but this soon proved to be a mistake when the soup arrived. The wonton soup was low quality: thickened broth with one or two overly wrapped wonton skins that were overcooked in the soup, with the skin absorbing too much liquid and very little meat filling. The rest of the food came and was second or third rate, barely passable in quality. When the bill arrived, it made the rating of this restaurant go from somewhat recommended to not recommended. I could bear low quality, but combined with a rather high price, this was unacceptable. Save your money unless you really want to experience this yourself.I love good, inexpensive Chinese food. This is neither good nor cheap. If you have no previous experience of how good Chinese food can be, you might be convinced that this is as good as it can get. This place misses the mark and gives Chinese cuisine a bad name. I suggest travelling to a place with a large sizable Chinese community and trying some of the Chinese cuisine. Go to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vancouver, San Francisco, Toronto, or New York City. Actually, all you need is a good chef who knows his craft. A large Chinese population isn't needed, but if you see a lot of Chinese patrons, they must like the restaurant.It's too bad it's the only Chinese restaurant and puts out low quality food. They need a chef trained in Chinese cuisine or they should bring in a competitor that would do much better quality food.
