| - Tried this restaurant based on other Yelper's reviews. I'd been seeking a great Chinese place in Goodyear since we moved in August 2011, and the only place I'd liked was Eest Chinese on Dysart. I was in for a treat.
Visited at lunch and as I was seated, the waitress immediately brought over a small teapot of oolong. It was warm and perfect for a rainy day, and I don't know any Chinese places that do this any more! I ordered the Sweet/Sour Shrimp lunch entree (only $6.25!), and upgraded my soup for an extra .50 to Hot & Sour.
When the waitress brought my soup, I requested "crunchies" (wonton strips), which she brought with no complaints. The H&S soup was the best I've ever had! Pepper spicy, it cleared my sinuses, but it was amazing.
My food arrived quickly and the dish was steaming hot. There was a huge serving of fried rice, an egg roll, two crab puffs and EIGHT beautiful fried shrimp on my plate! The shrimp was tender, a little overfried, but I've been back since and it's been better. The fried rice was deliciously tender and the egg roll was excellent, especially with their house-made Chinese mustard (WOO HOO, it's HOT!!). The crab puffs weren't really crabby, mostly cream cheese, but they were good.
My total bill was $7.82! Best Chinese I've had in a l-oooong time.
Picked up a take-out menu as i was leaving and noticed they had "Almond Duck" and "Sweet & Sour Duck" on the dinner menu. I've been looking for "Almond Duck" -- square-shaped pressed duck covered in sweet/sour sauce and topped with almonds -- for the last 20 YEARS or so! I'm going back to try both of these dishes on their menu!
P.S. -- I've been once more since my first visit -- I took my son, who isn't really a Chinese fan, but he got the Moo Goo Gai Pan and LOVED it.
