This wasn’t the first time. Just the first time I called them on it I ordered no mushrooms because I’m allergic to it they put mushrooms I called them up and their answer was we only put a little mushrooms in it it even says it on the receipt no mushrooms they wouldn’t even make good by refunding the money stay far far away from this place if you like your life. This place is the worse but here’s not many choices around here

Everytime I go in there and order the spare ribs, I always wondered why they look at them really well when they take them out of the fridge with the tongs. Today I figured out why....they are looking for ants since I found a curled up black ant in my food today. I almost passed out. The sugar in the sauce attracts them and they can't figure out how to keep them out of the fridge?! Not only will I never go back there but it will probably be years before I ever eat Chinese food again.
