VIP Restaurant

I waste tons of monegy here I just cant stop eating their chicken soup and brocolli chicken rice. Im eating it noW! FAR superior to Great Seas. No question about it.

I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant after seeing the great yelp reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was quite mediocre, made even more disappointing by the disproportionately positive reviews.

My friend and I tried:

Lollipop chicken wings - Dry, stringy meat. I don't think they were salted at all. I wished I was at home so I could cover them with sriracha, the savior of bland foods everywhere.

Jja jang myun - The noodles were so overcooked that they had a terrible gummy consistency and gave the dish a watery flavor. Really not awesome.

Seafood Jjambong - Another big meh. I was expecting a really flavorful and spicy seafood broth, but it was pretty weak and just tasted like cayenne and vegetable broth. I'm really confused by the use of spaghetti noodles in both the jja jang myun and jjambong. How authentic could that possibly be?

Wild Chinese mushroom with beef - The mushrooms themselves were really tasty! Perfectly cooked, very flavorful, I wanted to eat them all. Unfortunately the rest of the dish was missing any flavor at all. The meat was chewy and bland, the sauce was nothingness thickened with cornstarch, and the bok choy (one of my favorite vegetables) was just there, doing nothing exciting at all.

Pickled radish and kimchi came with the meal, which made me happy. That was probably my favorite part.

On the plus side, the service was very friendly and on point. No complaints there. They were so nice, in fact, I feel a little guilty for writing this review.
Personally, I liked the decor, as it was reminiscent of a 1990s Chinese restaurant. Some might find the interior a bit dated (and showing its age with stains and dust). I also really like the name: VIP Restaurant, awe yeah! I must, however, protest the presence of a loud television in the dining room.

In the end, I'm glad I tried something new, but I won't be rushing back.

Absolutely the worst chinese ever. Ugh. Awful. The only thing that made it bearable was the wine I drank it with. The sweet and sour chicken looked like calamari. Almost all breading.  The fried rice had the frozen peas and carrots and the peas were still cold. The egg rolls were inedible. The mongolian beef was chewy. Never again. Sixty five bucks. Lesson learned.
