Looking at other reviews, I've noted that earlier reviews (pre-2007) are mostly complimentary while later reviews are rather negative. As a regular patron of this restaurant, I too have noticed a steep and steady decline in both food and service, which is extremely puzzling since the restaurant continues to be under the same management. Recent trips to the restaurant have revealed semi-spoiled scallops in seafood dishes, the omission of seafood components of standard dishes in take out orders (which are served in opaque paper bags, leaving you to discover the omission only after you have returned home and are too tired to go back out), and several other noticeable errors in orders and food quality. At first, I figured, ""oh well, it was a bad day,"" but what once passed for a slip-up is now becoming a pattern of poor service and ill-prepared dishes. Sometimes, I wonder if it's an intentional and concerted effort to cut costs (interesting how the seafood has been missing from some of my recent orders). It's sad, really, because good Chinese is hard to come by in this town, and this place used to be the exception. I will no longer be gracing the Chens' front door, which is really a shame, because they used to run a first-class operation.
Pros: Used to be the best in town
Cons: Now disappointingly mediocre
