This place has the worst greek food I've ever tasted. The meat was nasty and tasted like spam, the rice tasted like rice-a-roni, and the sauce was just gross. On the positive side, the lettuce was green and was as expected. Seriously, the only thing they got right was the lettuce.\n\nDo yourself a favor and try another...

King Gyros was decent, though everything seemed a bit on the oily side.

Lured by the Phoenix Magazine claim that Abacus Inn boasts the Best General Tso's Chicken, it was worth investigating. The restaurant is traditional, service is kind and fast and prices are low. Best General Tso's Chicken? It's no match to the now defunct Jasmine Tea House in my hometown... but it's less sweet, red and...

We love New Asian Kitchen! The food is always fresh and delicious. I personally love the cashew chicken but I have tried other things and they are wonderful too.

I'm a little blown away that this restaurant is rated so high. The food is good, the prices are fair, and the service was ignorable. It's just your regular run of the mill, hole in the wall chinese joint. No crazy special dishes or anything unexpected. I know it isn't stricly chinese but this place doesn't hold a candl...

I was in the mood for Chinese food and this place was on my radar. I really wanted to like this place, but it failed in almost every aspect.

Not bad. My parents used to own this restaurant, and I would say that not much has changed in the past 6 years since they sold it. The place has been remodeled and they have made improvements.

As decent Chinese delivery options seem to be sparse for those of us who live North of the 101, this place is pretty good. Ordered four different spicy dishes, though not as spicy as I or anyone else who was eating with me wanted, all the dishes had a good flavor. Nothing was over salted, the meat was a decent quality ...

The dude at the drive-thru never fails to mess up my order...granted it's a coffee drink which can be complicated. However, it's the only thing I ever purchase and I'm saddened each and every time I opt to go there out of convenience. Can't beat the price though.
