The Ambassaodr, Scorned – The Ambassador, a bar of the future from the point of view of the 1980s. Normally, one of our go to bars due to the convenient location and not bad food, although the lack of Guinness on tap is a constant sore point as is the truck stop rivaling condition of the restrooms. After last night, however, our group shall never return. Our waitress (Elizabeth? Tall skinny woman with glasses.) was exceedingly rude the entire evening. She started it off by calling our friend "Baldy." I assume she was trying ... read more

E-GADS!!! What a NIGHTMARE!!! – This is the worst place I have ever been to in my entire life, and that includes a tour of the auschwitz concentration camp! If you want to hang out at the end of a dying universe...spend as much time possible in this joint. The food costs WAY TOO MUCH MONEY. They have stupid rules and as I understand it their boss is hideously greedy. NEVER go into this place!! They are liars and thieves!!!

Rockin good times! – Staff was great! Good food and alot of it for the money. They have two karaoke places inside so the wait is not too bad. I love the DJ's and love to hear them sing. Mostly I love listening to good singers as I am not a singer myself. Really great atmosphere and probably the best karaoke bar I have been to.

Good service but really bad food – For a chinese restaurant, the place is nice and clean. We went there on Friday around 6-7pm, there was not a single soul in the dining area, except the bar. That tells you something isn't right. Anyhow, we ordered our food. The food is god awful. How could a Chinese restuarant messed up with stirred fried. It is like Mexicans make really bad taco! We barely finished our food and left hungry. Pros: The service was really good. I guess it is because we are the only customer there. The only re... read more

We won't be going again. – We decided to try the Ambassador one Sunday for lunch. The parking lot was packed (generally a good sign). The restaurant was empty. The bar was full. Our waitress was attentive, but the food (which is what we came for) was spotty. The kung pao chicken was decent, The sweet and sour shrimp were abysmal. The shrimp were tough and tasted like they'd been fried beforehand and warmed up prior to serving. We asked for tea (not an unreasonable request in a Chinese restaurant). We were informed that it ha... read more

Decent – Wanted to find a place to eat near my apartment and decided to give the Ambassador a try. I service was stellar. The waitress Tina, gave us her input on what she thought was good and we took some of her advice. She was attentive and friendly, we enjoyed talking with her. At 6.95 a plate lunch including soup, fried rice, and an eggroll you really can't go wrong, even if the food is lackluster, which is exactly what it was. The barbequed pork was awesome on the other hand and the eggflower soup was very good. The Gene... read more
