    Wasn't too bad for airport food, it was a bit salty and oh my, for the price I'd want a bigger plate(probably couldn't eat it)

    Great meal at a great price! My friend & I were in the airport and we got the Orange Chicken. It was busy but it was made within 35 minutes, and the food was warm and very spicy. I also got a special surprise, which I'm still trying to decipher what it truly is. Who doesn't enjoy a hot meal with a little mystery?

    It had potential and wasn’t awful but most of the meal was extremely dried out. Rice, chicken were very dry. Some pieces of the chicken tasted like they were days old. Others ok. Most redeeming part of the meal were the spring rolls. Service and prices were also bad but it’s an airport I had low expectations that they met in that arena.

    Grade A good! I had the general sals and some side rice and got some boneless ribs snackys for my baby girl. No complaints and food comes out quick and authentic , good stop along before the trip

    I expected this to be overpriced airport food, but wish I had read the review before wasting my money on this garbage. The egg roll definitely tasted like the reheated variety from the freezer aisle of your local grocery store, and they managed to f that up as it was not heated thoroughly. The order was also made with the wrong noodle and the employee could not bother to listen and tossed my order on the counter.

    We ordered Singapore street noodles. They didn’t have any protein option. It had too much curry masala and very less veggies ( only onions and scallion) 😣

    As expected - the typical high airport prices with a small portion of mediocre food. Noodles weren’t bad but we’re not great either. The spring rolls definitely tasted like the frozen microwaveable ones from the supermarket.

    Not a good choice. Rice taste dried. Chicken is not completely cooked nor covered in sauce. They count the pieces they give you. $20 for this plate? Must be a joke. Chicken taste old.

    Chicken tastes like 5 days old. It’s actually hard to make Asian food this bad.

    This place was disappointing and awful. White rice was soggy, fried rice was made with uncle been’s rice. The egg drop shop tasted like medal and raw egg, the vermicelli noodles was loaded with curry powder. The only thing that was ok, was the lo mein, veggie egg roll, and shrimp stir fry. That’s only if I was starving, wouldn’t buy again.

    This fried rice costs 13 bucks. Nothing inside but rice and sporadic corn. Should’ve read the reviews.

    The food is not edible. The general Tso was uncooked and frozen in parts, and They mixed up the sauces. It was Tso and orange mixed together. The Rice was mush and clumped together. I know airport food generally isn't great, but this was disgusting and should not be served to folks. I didn't want to risk good poisoning, so I didn't eat it and wasted 15 dollars.

    I wish I could give it no stars. It’s unfortunate that you cannot customize the spicy levels of the meals. My pad Thai was so spicy that I had to throw it away after I took my first bite. I didn’t even ask for extra spicy or anything. I wish I could eat spicy dishes but due to health restrictions I am not able to eat spicy dishes. Such a promising place, but very disappointing.

    Im not one to leave bad reviews… but this was the worst airport meal I have ever had. The rice was a ball of mush, the sauce was so salty and the meat was fatty as. And to add it was $18 woooooof Lucy 👎🏼

    Worst food I ever had!! Beef is chewy noodles are plain and tasteless

  • 1/5 R B. 5 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Worst Asian food. It is deep friend stuff with no taste. Had spring rolls and those were the worst I ever had. Spring rolls were filled with potato’s

  • 1/5 Marbo C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is same as trash. Pad Thai doesn’t taste like pad Thai and general tso doesn’t taste like any general tso I have had. Taste even worst than frozen Chinese food you get at Walmart. Avoid this place unless you like to eat trash.

    Ordered veggie and tofu pad Thai and instead of a sweet comfort dish, I got a SUPER duper spicy dish that I’ve been barely able to eat. Considering each portion here is around $20 very disappointing. Tasty if you’re looking for a Asian style noodles with massive spice kick (think ghost pepper level) but def would not consider it Pad Thai.

  • 1/5 José Carlos Martínez M. 4 months ago on Google
    This is literally the worst Asian food I’ve ever had. I don’t even think this can be called Asian food. Fried rice looks and tastes NOTHING like fried rice, more like extremely bad Spanish paella. The pork soup tastes like wastewater and the pork dumplings are the dullest I’ve ever had. I feel sorry for the workers, but I feel scammed.

    The current low rating doesnt do Lucy's any justice. Friendly staff and fresh tasting food. Can't wait to go back and try the short ribs. Lucky enough to have Lucy cook and serve my mom and i. this place deserves more love. Will definitely be back!
