Went to the MOA location tonight. For an appetizer, I had the Potsticker trio (chicken, pork, and lobster). They weren't...awful. Typical potstickers (although it's really hard to go wrong with a potsticker), and the lobster dipping sauce was the best in my opinion - a Thai red curry sauce. Used it on Tee's Crab Rangoons :)
For dinner, I had the Sweet and Spicy Chicken. It wasn't all that spicy, so anyone who doesn't like spicy foods would probably like it. Don't get me wrong, it did have some bite to it, and it was cooked well. The fried rice (a $2 upcharge for that!) was meh. The spring roll that came with it was pretty good, not greasy like some I've had.
The restauarant itself was not crowded, which was a plus. We were there on a Friday at 3 in the afternoon, so that might explain that. However, a couple of minuses. First, the lighting was low. We like to read while we eat, and it was hard enough to see the menu, let alone read a book. Second, service was rather slow. Not so bad that we would walk out, but... you know those places that refill your water glass after you take every drink? This isn't one of those places. It took a while to get noticed for refills on both the water and the iced tea, and since I drink a lot of water, my glass was nearly always empty.
Overall, the food was good. I'm not convinced it's good enough to justify the prices. Maybe if we'd eaten at the all-you-can-eat-stir-fry-bar, we might have gotten our money's worth. As it is, ordering the entrees off the menu should be treated as a special occasion, rather than a normal night out.
