Returning from a long walk to and from the Shameless house, my unit and I came for a quick grub stop. We were bundled up for a cold adventure, but as we walked into this fine dining establishment our eye brows were scorched off from the African climate inside. After talking to some lady with broken english, we were escorted to some side room that was filled with stinkers. We did not physically fit so we had to go to the main dinning area and half of it was shut down and the other half had luckily two open booths strictly to be used for my unit. Shopping for the food was awesome. I was parched and hungry so i grabbed everything i could. When i sat down i began to eat this smorgasbord of Asian cuisine and really enjoyed it. Not because it was good but because i was hungry. When i got halfway through the plate that i was shoveling into my mouth i began to have the feeling you get when you decide to deficated in a portable potty and something splashes your bum. I looked down at all this snotty weird food that is just covered in weird sauces and nothing looks like it was done cooking. I think the squids still had a pulse and the pork could still quack. I walked past everything again in debate for seconds but the sight of this food made me nauseous. I think the only thing i liked was the Pepsi. That stuff was cold and sugary. This is a place i wouldnt even offer to dine with a bum. They dont deserve that stuff. I would rather eat dog food and cigarette butts the rest of my life than to eat in that furnace of asians. I am intrigued to see who actually is a returning customer.

Ewwww!!! Me and my Co-worker wanted to try something different and we were starving. What better option then a Chinese Buffet (so we thought). Our adventure started around 2pm. Upon entering we noticed 5 other humans, not a great start, but it is 2pm so we hoped the lunch crowd has dispersed. The price was in the higher range so that gave us hope again. So we started piling our plates, yet i seem to skip more items then i typically would. When scarfing the food, we also noticed many different textures that didnt sit right with us. I typically get 3 plates of food, but here i had to settle for a 2nd plate of only General Tsos chicken, since that was all I could stomach. Many parts of this mystery meat, that sometimes was so dry i couldnt swallow, after chewing for an entire minute, had to exit my mouth. At this point we both were starting to question if we would be able to make the walk back to the office without double ending it halfway there. We couldnt laugh or cough too hard or an orifice was going to give. We spotted some ice cream in the far corner, my eyes widened at this thought of a nice cool treat as respite from this traumatic event we had just been through. What i thought was mint chocolate chip, seemed to be some sort of minty mix with a hit of strawberry barely able to hold up its own weight (because it was almost at the melting point when i scooped it). Below is a picture I took to ask my Co-Worker if this was gravy or watered down instant mashed potatoes, it was the later to my surprise.

Sadly much has changed here, and not for the better. The food is still quite decent, except the meats. Meats have suffered the most. Either dry, chewy or old. Things that attract customers the most and have probably driven them away. One or two workers visible instead of the 4 or 5 that were around a few years back just checking up on customers and cleaning up. Its so empty now. The place itself feels and looks neglected. Large lighted photo on the wall is crumpling and faded. The carpet has years of grime embedded in it. Just rubbing your shoe in it feels sticky and greasy. A lot has changed here and it has gone downhill quite a lot.

Good and various food mostly chinese but also fresh shrimps, pizza, salad, broiled fish....plus various cakes and ici cream. Surprisingly low price (especially weekdays and seniors) including soft drinks and coffee. Early opening for lunch (10 am claimed, effective 10.30 am). I recommend.

Everything was cold, most food was slimey not much of a variety. All around almost uneditble. My clam had something growing inside of it... The only good thing is they have coffee... But still slightly bad coffee too... Would not recommend to even the homeless.

The food was so greasy oil gushed out when ever I stuck my fork through it. Most of the items were cold. Not fresh tasting. Not good tasting, never eating here again.

Not a very good selection or variety. The food they did have was okay, but not great. Expensive for nothing.
