• ★★★★½ Beef & Garlic Sauce General Chicken Visited Jun 13, 2024

  Large Portions, Decent Flavors, But Nothing Impressive. Semi-Average Items

  It had been several years since my last visit here, and I honestly didnt remember much of my previous experience. I visited late in the evening, for a last minute meal.
  
  I decided to order the combo, so I could try more than one item, and ultimately neither item I got was impressive, and both were what I would consider decent.
  
  I ordered the dinner combo, with general chicken and beef with garlic sauce.
  
  Service
  The food came out after a little bit, along with my soup, my drink and everything else. Nothing was brought out while I was waiting for the entrees to arrive.
  
  Portion Size
  The portions were huge, and I knew immediately I would need a to go box. When the waitress brought the food and said "anything else I can get you?" I said "a to go box".. she was confused a bit, but explained it wasnt because they took a bit, its because theres no way I could finish that much food.
  
  Food Flavor
  The general chicken was a bit dense, the cubes of chicken were tender, but overly large, and the batter on the pieces was soggy, with no crispness, and a more vinegary style sauce.
  
  The beef with garlic sauce was unimpressive a well, it had a very vinegary flavor, almost like there was so much garlic it gave the sauce a sour flavor.
  
  I saw other food come out with comparable portion sizes Everyone received portions that required to-go boxes reguardless of the item. For the price, the portions are enough to split between 2-3 people, but finding an item that is good flavor wise might take some exploring of the menu.
  
  Overall Impression
  I was neither impressed or turned off by the experience. This was one of those average experiences. The food was priced decently well for the portion sizes, the flavors were decent, but not impressive, and the menu had a huge selection of items. I feel like something here has to be really good, but the general chicken was one of the most mentioned items in the reviews and I felt it fell short.
