"using AI for your food pictures is insane, and the Spaghetti Pizza Slice looks absolutely nothing like that. almost no pastry on top, barely cooked, and big chunks of half-melted cheese. no flavor to it. the Meal 3: 14" pepporini pizza with onions and green peppers was at least cheap but tasted like cafeteria pizza, the crust was pale and it had no seasoning in a single component, everything i got was shockingly bland and felt microwaved."

"Probably the best Chinese food I've had ! A friend showed me this place and it's amazing. I got the Roast Pork Egg Foo Young and Shrimp Toast. I've had the General Tso's chicken before too, and everything I've had tastes amazing and the portions are plentiful. "
"I ordered A13 which had two pieces of broccoli, unlike the reviews and photos I viewed. Chow mein and egg roll. This was the worst food I've ever reviewed from a Chinese restaurant. The fried meat seemed purchased, not made in house. The noodles were old, it all tasted old. The eggroll was store bought as well, obviously frozen. I would not recommend this place to spend your money."

"Everything was AMAZING! The Spicy Miso Ramen broth and ramen was hot and well made---perfect amount of spice. The Gyoza were crispy and hot--I was worried about getting fried dumplings because sometimes they end up soggy or absorbing a lot of oil but these were perfect! I always buy Taro Milk Tea when I get boba and they did not disappoint. We will definitely order again--I highly recommend!!"

"I got the Lemon Yogurt drink and it's just expensive over sugared lemonade, probably a normal brand from a grocery store. I also got the B5. Abingdon Burrito and it's completely bland, chewy and overly fish tasting, which is not what proper and well prepared raw Tuna and Salmon should taste like. I absolutely love sushi, usually getting these fish options. This is the first time I've ordered from here and would not recommend at all, especially for the price. The burrito is so small for 20 bucks. Also, 7 bucks for grocery store hyper sugared lemoande for like 7 bucks and it's only like 12 oz, just a tall but very skinny cup. Do not get"
