One of the most talked about Chinese restaurant in the Capital Region is perhaps Zi Jing Ge, because compare to other Chinese restaurants around the area, this is one of the better ones. You can order lunch and dinner for under $10 and usually comes with a lot of food, which is something I like. For students, they get 10% of the bill, which is still better than nothing. The environment of this place is fantastic, and has a contemporary look to it with calligraphies hanging on the wall. I enjoyed their food even though it’s the typical Chinese food you find in other Chinese restaurants, but still, it was delicious. I would definitely order from here again.

I find their food to be extremely greasy. So much so that its almost unpalatable. The spring rolls are just bizarre, unlike any I've ever had. They were deep fried until they were brown and had some kind of indiscernible goo inside which was wholly unpleasant. I have to say, I did have the udon pork soup and it was quite good, but everything else I tried was just soooo greasy!

I have been to Shining Rainbow many times prior to my visit last night, and never once had a bad experience. In fact I used to rave to friends about the quality of the food (which is quite good)
However, the experience I had last night will never send me to their establishment again. Last night was my fiance's birthday (and Chinese New Year) and we called ahead for a reservation. When all the guests arrived we were told we would have to wait 45 minutes and that we would be placed on a smaller table then I found acceptable. My fiance, a Chinese (who spoke with the waiters all night in their native language) was told we would receive a discount and a desert as a gift for the long wait.
Once seated the food came quickly and we were very satisfied. However, the waiters did bring out an extra dish that we didn't order and tried making us pay for the dish, we refused. Once we had the check we went to pay and gave the waiter the $10 coupon we brought in to use. The wait staff denied our coupon because they had already provided us a discount on the meal. I would have been okay with the situation if it had stopped there.
However, one waiter came over and insulted my fiance and her friends (all of whom speak Chinese) and told them that we were DISRESPECTFUL for asking to use an advertised coupon after they gave us a discount for their poor service. I was insulted and ashamed that I couldn't speak back to this waiter in Chinese as he didn't speak any English. I will never go back again, ever. We paid our bill leaving an appropriate tip for the service we received and the same waiter had the nerve to exit the restaurant and follow us yelling at us (again in Chinese) that "This is America and we should leave at least a 15% tip on any bill".
We proceeded to explain that his insult was extremely disrespectful and a customer should never be spoken to like that. He apologized in English and left us on the street.
I am disappointed that I had this experience as this is one of the few restaurants that has Hotpot in the area, but I guess I will just have to make it as home instead.
