Review from Antonia W.

I had been recommended by somebody that works near by that he goes for lunch here sometimes so I just stopped by here yesterday for takeout since my bf felt like having chinese food. Looked through the menu posted on the window outside and decided on three dishes: shrimp lo mein, crispy ginger beef, and kung pao chicken. I typically order ginger fried beef when I go to chinese restaurants... it's a sick habit, I know :P
We walked in and were promptly IGNORED for a few mins although the lady at the counter and the other guy running around saw us. I've worked in a restaurant before... always acknowledge a customer, even if you can't get to them right away. She finally comes over to take our order and we place it. Then we wait. No probs. I see people coming in for their takeout orders and it just confirmed my thought that the ppl here are unfriendly.
Got our order and took it home: shrimp lo mein was ok, not great, not horrible. Boring and bland. Kung pao chicken had enough salt to last us 5 days. I couldn't eat it. It was also 70% veggies rather than chicken. Last, the crispy ginger beef... well, they messed up and gave us ginger chicken instead o_o although on the box they wrote down ginger fried beef. I don't know?? Anyway, get it if you like eating fried blobs of dough in sweet sticky sauce. It's probably on par with Fairway's hot food dept. which was also fried blobs of dough the one time I tried it out.
AVOIIIIIIDDDD!!!! -

I'm not sure if these folks know what customer service is. We reached Ho Tong restaurant for dinner at 8:10 pm. As soon as we sit, the first thing we are told is we close at 9 pm. As we are vegetarians they did make some adjustments to their dishes by not using Oyster sauce etc.
Around 8:30 they start switching off the Neon "Open" sign on their windows. We had just started having our dinner and the cheque comes on our table. Another 5 minutes and the lady comes to our table and asks if we are going to pay cash or use a credit card. I had already lost my appetite by then. After that the crew was literally watching over us and it was 8:40 pm. If they were in so much hurry to leave they should have not been in restaurant business at all or they should have not even taken us in at 8 pm.
Food at best was below average. Stay away ..
