I ordered takeout for my wife and I for dinner. At first glance it seems as though we got too little food for our dollar, but once we open the food containers we realize that we paid for quality and taste over quantity.
The garlic stir fried gai lan (Chinese broccoli) was trimmed nicely, removing the thicker stems and shaving down the skin of the stems to reveal the tender core. I've never seen it done that way before. Each stem was laid out in a straight and orderly fashion, with a dusting of toasted sesame seeds on top. The quantity was about half of what you'd typically get at other places. I know, that's a lot of talk about gai lan! So what I'm getting at is you're paying for the effort on food prep and presentation, taste, and overall dining satisfaction.
The sweet and sour beef with onions was excellent. Nice tender beef with enough sauce to soak into white rice. The congee was great, not overly salted like some other places, but did have a peculiar gooey texture that made me think they used corn starch in the mixture to thicken things up. But otherwise the amount of preserved egg and pork bone meat was quite adequate. Nice!
Would we go back? Maybe... Sometimes we just want the quick and dirty Chinese food that's cheap and plentiful. But if we're after a higher quality take out, I would give this place another go.
Prices are above average.
