I have no idea where to begin here. I have never really been prompted to write a review like this before, but this experience was so pitiful that I felt like I truly needed to say something. We waited to even be acknowledged for almost 45 minutes. No, they weren't busy. There was one harried waiter, and one bus boy who spoke no English. This was on a slow Sunday evening; early. Finally, we were able to get the waiters' attention. We asked for Chinese beer. He said " Only Budweiser or Heineken". We waited some more, and some more. Beer came. We ordered steamed dumplings. We waited. When they finally came, the filling was tough and flavorless. We ordered some kind of chicken which came in a ruby colored red sticky goo. The mixed vegetable dish was small, and the broccoli was "American". Shame on them. By the time that I noticed that everyone else in the restaurant who came in after we had were already well into their meals, our steamed fish, almost passable, and a beef dish that was thrown onto a hot plate by the side of the table showed up without ceremony or or any thought what-so-ever. Considering that there are so many amazing restaurants in Pasadena, and if you care to head down the road a bit to Alhambra or Monterey Park, you should pass on this one. I did see a woman hovering behind the scenes, but she never came out to acknowledge anyone. SO not true Chinese hospitality. You can do better than this.
