| - Full disclosure: I usually judge a Chinese restaurant by it's General Tso's Chicken. I popped in for lunch today. The restaurant was clean, the staff were friendly, the food was excellent and the price was very reasonable.
--I had the General Tso's Lunch Special w/ white rice and egg roll. Eat-in--
Rice is nice. Their's was not over/under done, appropriately chewy, and clean tasting.
The egg rolls were "blah", but they weren't greasy like you sometimes find.
The General Tso's was excellent:
Sauce - I was pleased when they brought it out and sauce was not the "Red General Tso's Sauce." I don't have anything against the Red General, but their sauce was bright tasting, balanced, sweet, and had just about the right hint of zip.
Fried Chicken - crisp and "clean oil fried" (if that makes sense?), not soggy or overly battered. The chicken bits were bite size, and fit comfortably on the fork.
Portion size - Appropriate for lunch. The plate was full, but not piled on like they're trying to make up for any lacking qualities in the food by providing volume.
Overall, I will definitely be going back here to try some of their other dishes. The wait time was appropriate, the food was fresh tasting. I like soda pop. They offer that in cans or 20 oz bottles. Seating is adequate and the large windows and adequate lighting make for a bright, casual experience.
