Description

As the sole remaining Chinese option in the area, this neighborhood fixture is defined by its inconsistencies. Inside the super dark interior, visitors find a suspicious ATM and a staff whose attitude shifts by the day, ranging from prompt and friendly to outright rude. While the chicken fried rice has its fans, long-time customers note that the kitchen has transitioned to serving rice from a cooker rather than frying it, all while prices steadily climb.
