Mr Kan Chinese Restaurant

Awful and forgettable Chinese food.
At first glance it looks like it might be a quaint little hole-​in-​the-​wall Chinese place, with the neon sign and what looks like a family operation running it. However, once you actually try to order from them and eat there, that appeal wears off in moments.
The service was awful. The employees barely speak English and I had to have them repeat themselves several times to understand them. When you order, they hand you a tag with your order number on it, it’s a tiny, easily lost, scrap of paper the size of a fingernail with the number hand-​written on it. What’s worse is that they confuse orders even with this system. When I was there, they gave 2 people «#42» so there was a mix-​up with who got what meal.
The bad service could be tolerated if the food was good. Sometimes those little hole-​in-​the-​wall Chinese joints are awesome. This is not one of those times. The food was bland and forgettable.
Here’s how bad it was. We all know what General Tso’s Chicken tastes like, right? That sweet, slightly spicy sauce? Their version of General Tso’s uses brown gravy. That’s right, savory brown beef gravy. Not sweet or spicy at all. Not a hint of spice, not a trace of sweetness. The portion size was small, and I was mildly surprised that (unlike many such places) an eggroll or other side was not included. I left unsatisfied both in flavor and size, and with no intention to return.
If this place wasn’t in Lexington Center, where it gets traffic from conventions, gun shows, concerts, ball games and so many other events, I doubt it could stay open.
