Well I’m sure the original owners don’t own this gig or the others. Anyways customer service was poor. Yet the table across from us got 100% attention every 2min. Vs. Us sitting and waiting and waiting and sitting. There were only 2 on our side and us made 3 and yet they never cked on us. I asked for fried rice they brought me white, I asked for red chili pepper they call hot sauce I waited, even asked another waiter and no response still had my food getting cold and no hot sauce. Had to waive the cashier to bring me some and she flagged someone and so shysty brings me 1 itty bitty container I’m like I need more. Still waited on that. Never gave us nor brought us entre soups that whatever soup of the day it is. Got squat!. Ignored no refills, as if we didn’t exist. Bad service from when I stepped in the restaurant was sitting there for more than 10min. Till I got adressed and even then worse customer service ever. Food was ok not as great as it use to be. But I don’t think I’ll ever come back. Idk what it was for us to have bad service and not attended. Yet others they were on top of it. I was like okaayy.. whatever!. And as we leave we got the fortune cookies. FYI so Stale guys you need to ck expiration date on that too. I’m more than sure they are Expired!.

Not bad for being on the Mexican Border. The Chinese Communist Party plexiglass and masks still seem to be the fad. The staff were attentive and friendly. The eggrolls were not the best. Basically your standard frozen ones you can get in any freezer section at any store. The BBQ ribs were really good though. This restaurant is all in all pretty good.. The selection is not bad, the flavors are outa the ordinary for the Valley! Bottom line, it’s a good spot for Chinese food in Brownsville.

I ordered the lunch portion of the Kung pao chicken with fried rice. The food was not fresh at all. It seemed to have been reheated several times. The egg roll was horrible. I had chosen lotus thinking their food was freshly made. Next time I’ll go to Panda Express which is a lot better.

They have terrible service, and they only have one waitress. For some reason, there are seven tables to serve and only one working waitress. There are two other people to help her, yet they do not. One is in the corner, taking her sweet time eating and talking on her cell phone. It took forever to get any refills or condiments.
