This place looks like a dump but the food is great American Chinese, the shrimp is really fresh, the vegetables are fresh, it's an amazing value. Nothing old and stale, the wonton soup is especially nice, full of fresh veg, not too salty, a hint of ginger.

I was tired of chicken, so I wanted sweet & sour tofu instead of sweet & sour chicken. First they told me no, but I explained that all they have to do is substitute the chicken for the tofu, that's it, no special sauce or prep, after some talking the server finally brings me a dish of just tofu wtih sweet & sour sauce, this does not a lunch make. So she (or he, can't really tell) takes it back and they add the right veggies to it. Finally I can eat. I figured I could still order it as an 'Express Lunch' but no, they decided to charge me for dinner prices. Plus, to make it worse, my friend and I each wanted a side of stirfry greenbeans. After we order, and waited for nearly half an hour, we were told they were out of greenbeans and they don't usually have them anymore. Then why are they still on the menu and there is no notice up at the register where they have a handy whiteboard where they post the specials? The casheir was rude & confrontational at every request no matter how simple. I will NOT be returning.

The good news is that it's not horrible. It's also not anything special. Nothing they serve will make a truly good restaurant feel paranoid. Nearly all the things on the buffet have a bland, drama-free character, and
