    One of the cleanest restaurants that you will find in this area. The food is always fresh and Ms. Lisa is amazing. I've never been disappointed leaving here.

    Mainland food has decreased in quality. They rush you through your order, they get smart with their customers as they are the only local carryout. They do not pay attention to order details because they are rushing even when slow. Therefore, the quality of your food is poor and not cooked the way you want it.

    Been going to Mainland for over a decade but, have decided to spend my hard earned money with someone who value their customers and the food that they serve.

    This post is not meant to discourage you from going to Mainland but, to only prepare you for what's to come when you do go. Good luck!

    Hello.

    I have been going to this restaurant for years.

    The last few times my food has been sub par.

    On 7/3/2019 (Yesterday) my Mom stopped there to get the lunch special #12 (2).

    The #12 is Shrimp with Chinese Vegetables.

    The first issue was the customer service (Poor). My Mom was spoken to in an abrupt manner, and was told to "Hurry Up!"  The person said that she was in a hurry. My Mom told her to wait a minute, we are the paying customer, and not to speak to her that way.

    The next issue was the food, our #12's order.

    When we opened the container the sauce was like jelly.
    I called, and told the person on the telephone about this issue.
    The person asked "Do you want to bring it back?" My response "No we are all the way home..."  She then states that it sounds like to much cornstarch was used, and that she would inform the crew for next time.

    Then the person ask "Do me a favor, take the food out, and add 2 tablespoons of water, stir, and put in the microwave. I told that person that we should not have to do that.

    This is unacceptable. In hindsight, I should have drove back over there, and retrieved my money (Not settled for crap), but my future course has been altered. I do not plan to be a patron anymore.

    My money is important, and I need to be more diligent in requiring (Demanding!) accuracy, and acceptable food orders.

    If you go to Mainland Chinese, check your food, and demand high quality because Chinese food is not that cheap. My value should not be either, and I wonder is it because they service mainly minorities??

    Thank you.
    Teresa

    I took my family to have dinner expecting authentic Chinese food. Boy was I wrong the food is wanna be Chinese food with a Indian flavored influence..  The food did not taste good at all my family and I did not finish our plate let alone go back for seconds. My recommendation for this places stay away from it. If you are expecting Chinese food you are not getting at here. My family and I will not be back to this place ever.i honestly felt I got ripe off for eating here. I know my never post reviews on food but this is an exception because how bad the food was.

    When you walk in, there is no one to greet you. You just seat yourself.... it was pretty dark in yhe restaurant portion with random boxes in just about every corner. Almost like they are in the middle.of a renovation.  i was acknowledged by my waitress as i sat down but it took her about 4 minutes to bring me a menu even though she was literally one table away doing something random (not helping a customer). I ordered general tsao chicken with fried rice and a spring roll and half and half.  I made sure to emphasize that i wanted it extra spicy.  

    Spring roll came out first, it was huge and pretty good. It also came with a very sweet version of duck sauce.  Next was the GT chx and fried rice. It looked amazing..... until i started poking it with my fork. Most peived were hard as rocks.  The rice was clearly not made fresh, which is to expected in These types of establishments, and the broccoli was literally cold.  I found a meaty peice of the chx and took a bite only to realize there was no spice whatsoever in the sauce and the meat was chewy.  At the end of the meal, i left having only eaten the broccoli and a small portion of the rice. The sauce was good, just not spicy.  

    I paid my bill and rolled out with my half and half (which was perfect).
