fun chinese cuisine

"I really like the idea of this place but I don't know if it's well executed. My husband and I got there a little after 7:00 p.m. and it was pretty busy. We ended up waiting 45 minutes for our food. For a sit down restaurant that is acceptable. This is more of a fast/casual restaurant, however, so I feel like the wait time should have been way less than that. They really didn't have enough employees to keep up with the amount of customers they had waiting. You order at the counter and pay and then someone brings your food out to you when it's ready. The young girl at the counter was nice and friendly but she spoke too softly to hear her clearly. When my husband paid, the girl asked what amount of change he wanted back. We both stared at each other because we didn't know why she asked that. My husband finally told her he didn't know what she was asking and she just stared back at us. He told her he wanted all of the change back. We weren't sure if she was asking us to do the math for her or if we wanted to leave a tip. The whole situation was weird. There were three other groups of people waiting for their food ahead of us, plus a line of people waiting to pick up their carry out orders. They had two people cooking plus one person putting the orders together. I think they almost needed another cook to keep up with all the customers that were waiting. The other three groups of people looked like they had been waiting for a long time and seemed pretty unhappy about it. There were three tables and the place is pretty small so there isn't a lot of room for people to sit if they want to dine in. On the plus side, the food was pretty tasty. I got the braised pork and my husband got the braised beef. Mine was $8.95 and his was $11.95 plus $1 extra for noodles instead of rice. After I tasted my husband's noodles, I wished I had gotten them instead of the rice. They had a nice smoky flavor. They also give you sauces to go with your food if you want it. They had five different sauces to choose from and you could have all of them for free if you wanted. I got the spicy garlic sauce and the braised sauce. Both were good but the spicy garlic sauce was the yummiest. The portion sizes were really good. I thought this was a chain restaurant because I was impressed with how professional their website and packaging was. One thing I was really disappointed with, though, was how much excess packaging is used with their orders. With every order you get a small reusable plastic bag that the food comes in. I sure hope people are reusing those bags so they don't all end up in a landfill. The plastic silverware comes in a sealed heavy duty plastic wrapper, which seems kind of wasteful. I suppose it's more sanitary but I don't know why the silverware couldn't just be loose in containers near the counter so there was less waste. Overall, I really liked the food for what it was—tasty fast/casual Chinese food. But I feel like they need to do something about the long wait. This place is way out of the way for me, so I don't see myself coming back anytime soon. But if I were in the neighborhood, I might stop in again."

"This is a cool restaurant and the people are really nice! I was offered a sample of the pork and beef, which tasted amazing! But I decided to go with the monthly special of the Fun Rib Bowl and based on that meal I should give it a 2/3 but I’m betting the other dishes are way better and this place deserve a good rating. The rice and vegetables were really good. The sauces had great flavor and the perfect amount of spice. Then the egg was a great addition as well. Now to fun ribs, I think they may have been under cooked because they were really chewy and the tempura was a little under cooked as well, but actually even with it being tough to eat the flavor was pretty good! I will definitely go back and try something else!"
