| - Freshman year, I tried someone's bubble tea from here and swore I was never going to eat at this place (their tapioca pearls were atrocious), however..
I've seen maaaany people get food from here and a part of me always thought.. have I been missing out? Me and a friend walk past it several times a week, and this time, their daily special caught our eyes. 1 entree 2 sides for $7? Or 2 entrees 1 side for $8? If you're craving some American-Chinese food that's: fast, under $10, and weather's nice, I won't judge.
VEGGIE TOFU + ORANGE CHICKEN + LO MEIN ($8): Lowkey good and they give a lot. You can say it's not real Chinese food and I'll agree with you on that. But you can't say that it's still not tasty. I do have to say that I wished the lo mein had more vegetables, as it was literally all noodles and was actually quite bland. Veggie tofu I thought lacked flavor too, but the zucchini and carrots were yummy and nicely cooked. Orange chicken is my guilty pleasure and in my meal I actually saw a cooked orange peel that I thought was funny. Well I know that they use actually oranges now..
SERVICE: Quite fast! Well. Me and the friend came here around 11 after class when they literally just opened for the day so I'd hope that they wouldn't be slow LOL. They also offer condiments like soy sauce and duck sauce. It's not laying out but I specifically asked for hot oil and they gave it to me. Yum yum yummmmm.
Asia Tea House, cheap, very 'American-Chinese', just "meh" for me. If you're looking for authentic and not as cheap, try Hunan Bar or Sichuan Gourmet.
