Paid $5.50 and $6.90 for a plate of Chicken Wing Fried Rice and Grilled Fish respectively. The grilled fish was just ok but the fries were re-cooked and very hard. The coleslaw was hard too. The fried chicken wings were dried and very bland. The fried rice was too moist. Service was slow as the waiting time was around 20 minutes.
