Default Bland but pretty Chinese food

Four of us ate there last night. While the place looked really nice, and the service was adequate, we weren't overly impressed with the food. The hot and sour soup was not particularly spicy and all of our dinners were very bland. One of our platters of sesame chicken had waited too long for pickup and was tepid when it reached the table. The other was hot only because they hadn't realized we wanted two sesame chicken dinners, so one came later. There were way too few tiny broccoli florets (4) served with each dinner and it was just fried chicken with sesame seeds and sauce thrown over the top. (I am used to picking out strips of red pepper before diving in to a flavorful meal!) Our friends concurred that their meals were also pretty tasteless. Overall, a disappointing experience, as we had hoped to find an Oriental restaurant with really good food.
