Good People, Poor Facility. First off, i love chinese food. LOVE IT. This place has been there for a very long time. They have an awesome location...right in the heart of Riverdale shopping area, Coon Rapids Minnesota. I've been there a handful of times. The only complaint I have is the cleansiness of the place. The walls are gimmey and the bathrooms are disgusting. I imagine the owner being a very frugal person. The handsoap in the bathroom is Dishwashing soap (rhymes with DalmPolive) that doesn't break up very easily leaving you with a filmy substance on your hands. It's really kind of gross. The food is fair, but not worth a penny more. The crab legs are only available after four and they are few and far between. When they come out you can see the crab vultures rush the buffet to get the first pick. I think that the place could really use a facelift and that it would be a pretty decent place to go. I know that they make crazy amounts of money there. The owner has a handful of fancy cars that he likes to triple park in the back of the building. Also I wish that their wasn't such a communication barrier between the employees and the customers. I feel bad for the employees because I've seen people get really mad at them and they try their best to speak clear enough english so the customer doesn't mention anything about their language. It breaks my heart.
