  This restaurant is no longer a Chinese restaurant, and is now call 'Wing Wa; The local Nook'. They serve burgers, sandwiches, traditional western breakfasts and pasta, etc.
  My Fiance and I have never been to this place before, and decided on a whim to try it out tonight, 2/25/2017. Their Grand Opening was on the 13th of this month, and I think they may need to go back to the drawing board on their menu.
  Don't get me wrong, the ideas for the menu are absolutely splendid. I fell in love with the Restaurant name, logo, and menu when I first saw it and I was beyond excited to try it out.
  
  I decided on the 'Build your own Pasta' option. The choices for sauce, pasta, meats and vegetables were superb sounding. I built a spinach and pesto bowtie pasta with mushrooms, onions and shrimp.
  My Fiance decided on the Teriyaki Chicken bowl, advertised with stir-fry veggies. The images of the same dish on their facebook page looked amazing, so we had to try it!
  
  I was quoted a 15 minute wait time for our take out order, which is no problem at all. We even lost track of time showed up about 20-25 minutes later. The first thing I noticed upon entering the restaurant was the smoke in the air. Things happen in the kitchen, so I was not worried by this at all.
  
  The second thing I noticed was that the entire restaurant was empty, however, I ended up waiting another 8-10 minutes for my order.
  
  I've worked in 3 different restaurants, both front and back of the house as a waitress and a cook, so I COMPLETELY understand errors in the kitchen and asking customers to wait extra time for carefully prepared food. Sometimes it happens, so I am more than happy to wait a while longer for good food.
  
  The third thing I noticed during my wait, because I decided to walk around the empty room, was that nearly 13/20 available (seemingly clean and prepared) tables were dirty. And not just a few stray smudges kind of dirty. Every table was covered in crumbs, (or ceiling dust?), and even some of the napkins placed "kind" of neatly under the forks were dirty and torn like someone had wiped their face with it and left it there!
  
  At this point, I am hoping that the cook shines through and the food is worth the wait!
  
  Unfortunately, it was one of the biggest let downs.
  
  I have never had more tasteless pesto pasta in my life, and the only thing that gave it flavor was the SINGLE SLICE of mushroom they allowed me. The entire dish was two fist worth portions of bowtie pasta, covered in tasteless pesto sauce, and garnished with a single slice of mushroom and 4 shrimp. (And yes, I tore that dish apart looking for mushroom, but alas, only that single one.) Now is a good time to mention that the shrimp were under cooked and squishy.
  
  My Fiance, who ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl, was also incredibly let down.
  
  The portion size was great, with a lot of rice and the most of the veggies they advertised. He was pretty excited for the stir fry broccoli in his dish, (he's a big veggies guy), but after searching, he also only found a single floret the size of the end of his pinky finger. The carrots, onions and cauliflower were hot, but nearly still raw with a crunch. There looked to be no signs of sauteing or stir-frying on any of the veggies, or even the chicken itself. The entire dish, even down to the rice and the teriyaki sauce was incredibly bland and lacking in flavor.
  
  Please understand that I do not normally leave negative reviews, and we are by no means picky people. Even if the order is wrong, as long as it tastes good, we'll eat it! But this had no taste!
  The location, menu, setup and theme behind this restaurant are wonderful and inviting. However, the quality of food will definitely need work before we'll be returning.
  
  Maybe we'll try again in a few months after they've been on their feet for a while.

  The employees and karaoke are great but watch your bill if the owner is working. Somehow, prices for even basic things like soda get changed at her whim and things get added to the wrong tab whenever she's working.
