This restaurant came highly recommended by an older neighbor of my folks who remembered his parents getting takeout there as a young boy (it's been there 48 years this year), so we decided to try it. I ordered a specialty lo mein and the rest of the crew ordered their chicken (and other type of meat with veggies, not sure exactly) bowls - everyone agreed that it was pretty tasteless, and I was certainly not impressed with the lo mein - it was skinny rice noodles with tiny bits of shrimp, pork and veggies - and I mean tiny. Yeah, they give you a ridiculous amount, but it's not that good. Also, the lo mein came as a ""package deal"" - you had to get pie or ice cream for dessert, no substitutions (they wouldn't let me substitute an eggroll instead, for cripes' sake!). So I - and some of the others in my party - got the custard pie for the mandatory dessert, and I'm not kidding you, it tasted like there was absolutely no sugar in it, it was awful (my husband's banana cream pie was decent, though). It tasted like egg pie with all-spice on top, ishta!! But there were a lot of elderly there, so I suppose they must bland it down for them. Overall, not recommended, unless you're there with Grandma who doesn't like anything spicier than a mashed potato.
Pros: Clean bathrooms and dining room, diverse selection of foods on the menu
Cons: Bland, bland, bland! Very overrated.
