Gross. Bad service. Felt sick afterwards, couldn't finish my meal. Sad lunch menu. Where's all the seafood? Just shrimp? Unless ur going for wine, do not go!!!! Just have wine and soup and leave. Egg roles were homemade, definitely wanted bigger better and fully stuffed. If all I wanted was a rolled fried wonton roll, I'd have asked for it. Way under staffed. One waiter for both rooms. He was nice and worked hard. Hard to get attention though from anybody else wandering around for help. The owners wife just ate and nibbled and watched tv most of the time. First she sat in front of the TV eating. The. Walked by with a bag nibbling. Finally she decided to carry a water pitcher. Could not have walked any slower to our table without a smile. Real nonchalant. When we left she was just sitting at the register swinging her feet and nibbling on a bag of something.
