Gordy's Sichuan Cafe

Update: After the owner invited us back to give them another try, we decided to today as the reviews have turned around and been very positive.
We were greeted immediately as we walked in.
It was early and we were one of the few in the restaurant.
We wanted to try the dumplings again but opted for different entrees.
Everything we ordered was hot and had amazing flavors.
Our waiter was great and just showed what we were hoping for last time.
Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. 1/24 Came in for an early dinner and was immediately sat, the restaurant was pretty open.
The person who greeted us asked where we preferred and we asked to be on the secondary side of the restaurant.
It was much quieter there, but pretty sure we were forgotten about (or maybe just slow service?).
We ordered the dumplings to start, and when they came out, they were lukewarm at best.
I feel like this drew away from the actual flavor and took away from the quality of our meal.
We also ordered Dan Dan noodles and hunan beef.
As my 1st time eating Sichuan, I went in with an open mind and was excited to try a few dishes.
The lack of service from our waitress ( only saw her a few times, and got the feeling we weren't her priority) and the food not being it's best definitely left a lot to be desired.
I sadly had a thought that Panda would have been a lot cheaper and better.
We also asked for a cup of soup, and not only did we never receive it, but it was on the bill.
When we brought it to her attention , the was no apology or acknowledgement that it was missed.
I think there is a lot of room for improvement, and would be excited to try again if some adjustments are made.

Tried this restaurant for the first time, I am very pleased with our male server; he knew his stuff on what’s on the menu, his customers service was an 10/10.
The food was delicious, wait time 10-15min.
As for Spice levels, they were well leveled for each dish.
Will definitely come back again and try more dishes.
Suggestion for the female worker at the front desk: if your going to prep food at the front counter please don’t be eating the ingredients in-front of your customers AKA: the beans).

We discovered Gordy's too late!! We had a gift certificate to spend before moving out of town and dined in, and we're so bummed we didn't take advantage of Gordy's sooner! Everything we had was delicious.
We had Sweet and Sour Chicken, Lemon Chicken, pork dumplings, and Dan Dan Noodles.
Our one critique was that we could have had a little more heat on our noodles - but they were still great! None of our entrees were over-breaded and there was just the right amount of sauce! Great flavors. The night we went was very busy, but dine-in orders were prioritized over takeout, which is appreciated.
Thank you Gordy's! We'll miss you!
