New Tung Kee Noodle
Yelp Reviews. I’m an absolute fan and will continue being a loyal patron but be advised that the customer service isn’t great. They are quick to get you seated, have orders taken, you eat, & then get out. The turn over rate here is lightning fast in order to get the next party seated. From management’s standpoint: more patrons seen means more money in the registers. Try not to take it personally.

Chick-fil-A creates Controversy in Milpitas because of anti-LGBTQ stance

Chick-fil-A opening in Milpitas on June 16

By Rhoda Shapiro, June 13, 2022

This Thursday, June 16, Chick-fil-A will be opening in Milpitas. Located in the Town Center at 755 E Calaveras Blvd, the new restaurant will be operating Monday-Saturday from 6:30am-10pm.

Chick-fil-A’s Owner Is Bankrolling Hate Groups Targeting Trans Kids

“They’re doing hardcore, extreme stuff, but they make it seem like it’s a bunch of soup kitchens.

Nearly a decade after Chick-fil-A was called out for donating to anti-LGBTQ+ groups, its owner is still funding efforts to discriminate against the community.

According to a new report from The Daily Beast, an organization called the National Christian Charitable Foundation (NCF) is bankrolling many of the groups hoping to kill the Equality Act. If signed into law, the landmark legislation would mandate equal protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in all walks of life, including health care, housing, education, and public accommodations.

The Daily Beast report sparked online backlash, with watchdog organization Citizens for Ethics tweeting: “FYI: the billionaire owner of Chick-fil-A, which promised to stop donating to anti-LGBT causes last year, is participating in a dark money operation fighting to keep the Equality Act from passing.”

Uber Eats lists the best friend chicken places in and near Milpitas where you can get chicken meals brought straight to your home or business. There are dozens.
