This restaurant is located in the famous Fountain Park area in a small freestanding building. We heard from my Uber driver that this place had good lunch specials so we decided to try it.
The restaurant is separated into two areas, the front dining area and the back dining area. When we entered nobody greeted us because nobody was eating or present in the front of the restaurant.
So we waited in the front area for about two minutes and were about to turn around and leave when the waitress came out. She handed us two menus and opened the door to the back dining room. There were about 3 tables of diners sitting in the back dining area. Needless to say there was no privacy between the tables as it's a pretty cramped dining room.
We decided to keep it simple and only order the kung pao chicken lunch special. The menu had a lot of lunch specials all under $6.00 but we wanted to order just something basic because we've already experienced quite a few bad Chinese restaurant in AZ.
The lunch special came with hot and sour soup, wontons and an egg roll. All the food came out nice and hot. I'm a stickler for hot food so I thought this was a great start.
The hot and sour soup tasted like hot and sour soup always does, so I didn't expect anything special. I'm not sure what region this cooking came from but the kung pao chicken while it was a hearty portion and looked inviting, it was heavily drenched in a very familiar sauce. If I had to pin point it to describe it, it basically tasted like hot and sour soup was poured over it.
While we picked at it even though it was overwhelming saucy and had no distinct flavor to it, it did have a nice amount of chicken in it. The food didn't meet our standards of what good quality Chinese food is but if you're looking for a quick place to have lunch for under $8.00 this is that place.
