Disgusting, inedible, greasy food. Improperly cooked. Horrible. Go literally anywhere else. Waste of food, waste of money, and a terrible impression to give people of what (when properly prepared) is one of the most delicious culinary traditions of southern Asia.
Ordered a lunch cashew chicken that included white rice and salad and also ordered a spring roll appetizer.
Entree had a ¼ inch layer of oil in the sauce, and on the food, the cliche "swimming in oil" does not apply here as this was deep sea diving in it.
Spring rolls had only a whisper of color and were leaking grease, soaking through the thin paper doilly in the container and dripping when picked up. Obviously, not cooked enough with too cold oil temperature, causing them to soak up frying oil rather than actually frying.
I cooked the spring rolls an additonal 15 minutes at 375 in my convection oven - they came out crispy outside but after resting and soaking through 6 paper towels with grease I cut one in half and the cabbage/noodle/meat filling was horribly saturated with oil and unsalvigsble from the original restaurant preparing them with improper frying oil temperature.
The entree I attempted to save by separating the meat and vegetables from the sauce and rinsing the meat and vegetables with water in a strainer. Even with thoroughly rinsing, food retained a greasy texture and still left large oil marks on paper towels. Using a gravy separator, I was able to remove 3 tablespoons of oil from the sauce. Remember, this is a lunch portion, so there is not much sauce to begin with, so it was about ⅔ oil to ⅓ sauce.
I ate 1 slice of chicken, 1 piece of broccoli, 1 carrot, and 1 bite of a spring roll. It was all too greasy to be safely eaten. I resigned myself to white steamed rice for lunch but found that the entree oil had leaked into the rice from the other side of the container, rendering it also inedible.
I'm so glad I spent $21 and wasted my lunch break picking up this order.
Service was good and staff was friendly and greeted me promptly with my order. The atmosphere was typical of this style restaurant.
Staff gets 2 stars off because they should be ashamed of serving this food to anyone, and I am shocked they allowed this to be served.
Pictured is some of the clean-up efforts to illustrate just how much oil - this does not include the oil I separated out from the sauce or additional paper towels already thrown away. And no, that is not just liquid from sauce. It is oil.
