| - Most of you guys know that I'm a How Lee devotee, but upon the insistence of Jarrett H, I finally tried China Star (now known as Sichuan Gourmet). Jarrett-- thank you!! The food here is fresh and delicious, and they use less oil than How Lee. Now, don't get me wrong, I still heart How Lee, but it's nice to be able to mix it up a little bit. I've had the frogs legs & multiple noodle dishes: all good. I'm not a fan of some offerings (dumplings, spring roll, and crab rangoon), and ordering over the phone can be exacerbating. I've also had to convince them that, despite being white, I'm OK with bone-in meat, spice and "weird" meats. Once convinced, the employees seem to be genuinely enthusiastic that I'm trying more traditional Chinese dishes. (Ethnic food places not believing me about spice level and meat choice is another topic and tangent I shall not engage here.)
All in all, though, I'm happy to have another delicious Chinese restaurant in my rotation, and can't wait to actually dine in there rather than carryout or delivery.
