Every time I come here (family obligations, not voluntarily), it's a sub-par experience.
The waiters we've had were not attentive and it got a little frustrating having to look out for them to get their attention.
The food is bland and portions kind of suck for the price it charges.
Not a great experience overall.
I have been coming here since it first opened and everyone I've brought here has loved it. The lollipop chicken, masala fire, pepper chicken, and wontons today are a hit. The servers for the most part are good too. The general Taos and chili chicken are a must. The crispy ginger beef is delicious and fun to eat. And if with. Big crowd, fake a birthday and get the ice cream boat. It is so yummy and the whole birthday song and spinning candle shebang makes the night. The place is nice, the food is good, no complaints here 🙂
Came here first time last night with a friend. We had mango lassi, shrimp chow mein, general tsao chicken, and lollipop chicken. Everything was excellent. Just I expected bigger portion of general tsao chicken for the price. It was packed so we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. Overall good experience.
I'm really upset I have to give this place 3 stars, however I have to say that my rating is solely based on the poor customer service this location has.
Food: 5/5 The food here is out of this world. Starting from the lollipop chicken, which is my favorite appetizer, to every single item on the menu, nothing will disappoint. The best asian fusion food you will find in NYC.
Ambience: 5/5 Absolutely beautiful! It is huge and spacious inside and the decorations are outstanding.
Customer service: 1/5 The waiters are rude and obnoxious. I have a lot to say about their attitude however i will leave with just one complaint, they FORCE you to tip them a huge amount. I dined here for my birthday and our bill came out to 86 and some change. So i left 95 bucks on the table, however they demanded we give them a $20 tip. Mind you, they stopped by our table maybe twice to refill our water, what exactly should i tip them for? Nor is this restaurant located in the city. Due to this disappointment I will never step foot in the restaurant ever again.
Tangra – a vast menu of Asian-Indian goodness placed on a random stretch of Queens Boulevard. The place is gigantic (good for parties), which makes it awkward when there's only one other group there on a Saturday afternoon.
After a little wait from the server (but why?), shared out the Lollypop Chicken ($8.50), Fried Chicken Wings ($5.95) and Mixed Fried Rice ($9.95). The lollypop chicken was breaded nicely and good with the sauce, but I found their wings to be meatier and less dry as well. For the price, they give a heaping pile of the mixed meat fried rice, which had a generous amount of seafood and chicken (and with a nice kick).
I would say the disappointing thing is the service. Considering there is basically no one there, they took their time waiting on us (plenty of servers). Then there is their laundry list of a customer protocol: minimum of $20 on the card, no more than 2 cards, everyone seated must spend at least $10 of food, extra for added sauce, gratuity added, etc. Really not sure how they stay in business which such a big place, meh service, and okay but cheap food. It works I suppose.
It's one of the nicer Chinese fusion food places. Lollipop chicken is their classic dish which is quite good actually. Soups are ok, could be better. The mains are not bad too but can be better. A lot of seating. I would recommend this place.
Nice ambiance, good appetizers, overall very disappointing entrees. The chicken lollipop was very good as were the spicy chicken wings. However all the entrees I tried were pretty bad. I had the mixed tangra masala chow mein and also the chicken one (even though I had ordered beef, the waiter messed up my order but the wait time was so long that I settled for the chicken). It tasted under cooked because you could still smell the turmeric on both of the noodles. The chicken with the mixed veggies tasted extremely basic and like something you'd get from a takeout spot hut only twice the price. The chilli beef which the waiter recommended is apparently well liked by most was actually also pretty bland. It was nothing special or even slightly out of the ordinary.
Overall bad entrees which would explain the restaurants 2.5 star rating even after being pretty nice inside. I've been here many times before simply because it's one of the nicer Halal restaurants but this is the last time I'll be here for mediocre food.
One of the worst foodie experiences that I've ever had.
I used to frequent this spot many, many years ago because of the fantastic sauces nd dishes so I couldn't wait to show it off to my boyfriend (who was sort of new at the time). Finally we went to try it together this past summer Boy, was I embarrassed.
First, we walked in a bit earlier for dinner and they couldn't decide whether or not they were open for business, but when they decided they were we just got a wave of a hand. I guess that meant "sit anywhere".
We sat down and waited about ten minutes, then my boyfriend got up to look around for someone to get us a menu…finally he told someone and we waited another ten minutes for a menu….and then about 30 seconds before being asked what we would like. I said first, I'd like a cool drink – water for both of us and my boyfriend ordered a Sprite.
While we waited, we were freezing and looking around wondering where the waiters were…yet I kept assuring my boyfriend that the food was worth all of the craziness. Then he got a dirty fork. I found someone and asked for another (yes, that's 2 times someone had to get up and find the waitstaff). My boyfriend noticed that they were using a kitchen bowl to scoop ice at the bar and he felt it wasn't clean but I told him once again to stop fussing, the food would be fantastic. Finally, they brought our drinks….and there was a fly crawling around the glass of ice for the Sprite and a BUG of some sort (looked rather roach like) FROZEN INTO THE ICE!! We told the guy at the bar and then our waiter…all he said was "so do you want to cancel your order?"
Needless to say…we had to leave. Nothing could keep us there and we will never be back. Sad to see the decline of this restaurant.
