This restaurant specialized on wings, which set it apart because they presented its wings in the style of lollipop with an Asian twist.
The space is compact, but there are enough tables for dining and a bar facing the window. The decor is modest. The only thing that stands out is the colorful wall and the chicken emblem; otherwise, the place does not appear well-kept; the furniture is old and filthy.
When I placed my order, there was an issue with communication with the cashier. I wanted to upgrade my white rice to fried rice for an additional $4. I was perplexed when she asked what kind, so I double-checked with her to be sure that if I choose shrimp, the price would still be same. I felt it was a wonderful deal when she gave me a head nod, but when I got my receipt, she charged me full amount. I'm annoyed because the cashier has no idea what she's doing.
The meal arrived hot and timely. I can't wait to get started because it looked fantastic. The potstickers are golden brown and crunchy on the outside. The filling is so flavorful that it doesn't require a dipping sauce. The chicken is of reasonable size, however it contains almost no meat, only skin and cartilage. The sauce was average; it's just soy sauce, sugar, and a dash of vinegar with no spiciness when I requested medium spicy. The fried rice is adequate, and I appreciate that the shrimp are deveined. It appears to be moist, with mushy rice. In my humble opinion, upgrading the rice is not worth it.
I had a mango smoothie for a beverage, and I was dissatisfied because it didn't appear to be created from real fruit, but rather from an artificial mango flavor syrup, and there were no toppings to customize the smoothie. All I could taste was pure sweetness. I had to toss it away because I simply cannot finish it.
The staff's work ethics are questionable, with no one attending out front and everyone hiding in the kitchen, alongside no one bothering to wipe the tables or change the garbage, which is almost full to the brim. I'm not satisfied here, and this will be my first and last visit.
