"I love their food usually we get out order to go fast and delicious we eat take out there at least monthly"

"The food is hit or miss. When it is good it is great, when it is bad it is horrible. It is either extremely good and flavorful and fresh or old taste like other food and over or under cooked. Make sure to always get an itemized receipt if rdering on the phone and not just the little receipt you get when paying for the food with only the amount owed, payed and change tendered because they will argue you down telling you thatits your fault the food isn't to your liking or that they cooked something you don't eatthen proceed to bad talk you in their language (particularlythe husband and the wife once proved wrong no longer wants to talk about it when you stand your ground and let them know that the service and behavior is unacceptable) this actuallyhappened. I typically don't leave negative reviews however it has been almost every time I come I specifically say to substitute certain foods bc I don't eat pork and it's almost like they serve me it after charging me full fries to substitute it.ex: I ask for shrimp roll I stead of pork roll that come w it and I ask for shrimp fried rice instead of pork fried rice ok be charged for a whole shrimp roll and a side order of shrimp fried rice but when I get the food and check it it is still all swine. If I make it home w the food that they deliberatly staple closed to deter you from checking it there and I call to correct it bc I paid for it and it was discussed they argue that I should have checked. When I check it there, they get offended before I even get the food out of the bag, which signals that they likely know exactly what they ate doing. Got so bad 1 day that I had to tell the husband that I strongly suggested he watched his body language and how he talked to me bc if he took 1 step from behind his counter toward me then the night would certainly take an unnecessary and unwanted turn for the both of us. I'm a very calm and overly respectful woman. However, when spending my money and being extremely clear on the services and goods I want/need in exchange ... disrespect and disregard will never be tolerated. It should be noted that it's only certain people I ve witnessed this game played with which others or catered to on the surface at least. You are expected to accept and be tolerant bad service and mistakes along with over charges for food not received but you won't be tolerated for speaking up or simply asking that simple human errors that we all are capable of making at some point be corrected. Again, I typically don't do these types of reviews, but it needs to be said because it's happened more times than it hasn't. I no longer patronize this business unless someone in my household wants it and pays for it. Me personally... I refuse to eat from them."

"They serve bugs and then get mad at you as if you put the bug in your own food. Didn’t want to give me a refund. Somebody need to send the health department out there!"

"Great portion size. Rice and chicken was great tasting. Chicken could have been a lot more spicy as I was expecting such but still much better than others I’ve tried in the area. They were very quick too."
