BEWARE OF THIS PLACE.
I wish I could give this place ZERO STARS. Not a single person was wearing gloves including the cook. I saw him take raw food out of the container with his bare hands and put it in the wok to cook. A young lady and I where standing in line when the employees used their bare fingers to push food into our to-​go containers. I was shocked. We asked for them to be remade and that’s when we saw the cook using his bare hands to touch food with. I just walked away. The other lady asked for her money back. Disgusting and gross. A review by the health department is in order. I’ll never eat there.

Although large portions, orange chicken and bourbon chicken not tasty. The potatoes were undercooked.

Lesson learned — do not eat Chinese at a place that does not have a single Chinese person working there.
Don’t really know what else to say but that I’m just not a fan. I got a 3 side combo with a Snapple for $ 12. The orange chicken was over battered. The bourbon chicken was really saucy and not in a good way. The plantains were ok. The rice was eh.

Very Americanized-​Chinese food as evidenced by the fried plantains, Cajun chicken, and fried spaghetti posing as chow mein. The stir-​fried mixed vegetable was actually just big chunks of head cabbage and carrots — it was unique in that it looked overcooked, but still had the raw bitter cabbage taste. Everything was salty. I think the International Plaza is great, but has a substandard food court which is out of character with the rest of the shopping mall.

What’s worse than the crappy food that will inevitably give you explosive diaheria? The offensive workers that scream SAMPLE literally all day long. The mall needs to fine this establishment, or get rid of it all together. What a disaster. The mall won’t even be open, and there’s still a WORKER there screaming SAMPLE! YOU LIKE TO TRY SAMPLE!!!
I highly recommend NOT trying a sample or giving this place a dime of your money.

The only thing worse than the food was the service. The lady serving kept yelling at us «what side?» Then as she filled 80 of the to go plate with soggy noodles she yelled at us again «what chicken?» We wanted to get 2 meats sense 3 of us were sharing a quick meal, but instead of making more room for the meat she gave us ½ a spoon of meats instead. We were debating getting a 2^nd meal so it would be enough when she yelled «you want more?» She rushed us the entire time and ignored our questions all together. When we got to the register with our one plate I asked for a small soda and a medium soda. I got 2 medium sodas. And they had the audacity to have a tip jar! Yeah right! I got 3 pieces of broccoli and 5 pieces of beef in my beef and broccoli, approximately 12 over done pieces of chicken in what was supposed to be General Taos Chicken but tasted suspiciously like orange chicken. And more soggy oodles than we cared to eat. We all got tummy aches after this horrendous meal. Never ever again will I eat there!

Just typical mall food here. Ordered up the bourbon chicken hoping for the best but I think I may haev ended up with a 2-​star dish. Not sure if I’d ever return back (that is, if I was ever in the area again).
