Big Chopsticks - Costa Mesa

The orange chicken I had was the worst I've ever tasted. Its texture was gummy, and the sauce was excessively sweet and savory, almost like eating candy. I'm convinced that the "chicken" was made from raccoon meat. I can’t believe I spent $15 on something so inedible. I feel like I'm going to be sick.

The hot and sour soup was incredibly delicious. It had the perfect balance of mild spiciness and a hint of sourness.

The orange chicken was unappetizing. I found no actual meat, just tough gizzards and cartilage. It felt like they used whatever leftover parts of the chicken they had and simply breaded them.

Terrible experience with the Orange Beef; it was incredibly tough and inedible, so I had to stop eating it. The fried rice was also a letdown—just soy sauce, rice, and egg with no vegetables or carrots. Overall, I would rate the food a 1 out of 5.

I bought the orange chicken in a large size with a side of fried rice for $22. The guy had it ready in 2 minutes, it fed me for 3 meals, and it actually tasted pretty good.Food: 4/5
