Essence of China

The food was terrible. Chicken and beef were not chicken or beef. Seemed fake. Rice was old and dry! Very disappointing. They seem to need more customers bad and old food won’t get them more. We go out for fresh and good food. My family will not go again!

This used to be my favorite place for Chinese food, but it seems that this one has gone down hill just like all our previous go-to spots. Normally the quality is fantastic, even when delivered. However, the last few times, we have started noticing them missing the mark on a few items. Today was a complete flop. I was disappointed with basically everything. The lemon chicken had zero lemon flavor (no real flavor at all actually), and was weirdly chewy and soggy like it had been sitting around for days. I was honestly scared to keep eating it because of that. The lo mein also tasted less than fresh and lacking a lot if flavor. The steamed rice also tasted like yesterday's leftovers. This food made me lose my appetite. I'm over it. I'll have to find somewhere else. Very disappointing.

Food was OK, standard americanized Chinese food, was hoping for something a little more authentic based on the name. 3 younger girls doing service, 3 tables seated with 6 total customers. Service was slow and lacking, one table had to ask for silverware well after their meal was delivered, the other table sat next to us empty, but dirty from the previous customers for over almost our entire meal. Had to wait too long to pay as they were all buried in their phones sitting at the front counter. Maybe at a minimum wage of $13.50 an hour that should come with the requirement you turn off your phone while you're working. It would benefit the customers and help the business at the same time.

This food was honestly… horrible. We ordered veggie fried rice, shrimp singapore noodles, and crispy tofu and nothing was even edible. It was so salty and bad tasting, it is so disheartening to waste all that money and food. I wish we had read some of the reviews before coming. I am completely confused about the good reviews, maybe they used to have better food but whatever we ordered tonight was truly awful. I do not recommend.
