| - A step above the rest in Charlotte area cheap/fast Chinese food.
YELP TO THE RESCUE!!! As I'm driving way down Harris Blvd one day around lunch time, I get a hankering for my weakness. Cheap Chinese lunch. As soon as I whip out my yelp app, not only do I see a well rated place close by, but a place that is well rated by no other than Chad E! Oh, I was excited.
Chinese restaurants near the not so nice side of town are always hit or miss, and this one was almost perfectly spot on. I went ahead and read some other reviews to get an idea of what I may want. One yelper said that hey loved the hot and sour soup and the Hunan beef so much he had bribed the owner for the recipe, so I gave it a shot.
My waiter, was soooooo fast. Almost stalky, but not in a bad way since it was lunch time. I drink a lot of water and I don't think it was ever less than half full. The soup came quickly. The first couple bites were great, rich, and perfect with the crunch of the noodles I put in. Although, It did get a little overly salty towards the end.
My Hunan beef came shortly after. Beautifully thick looking sauce and a nice portion sized per $. I took my first bite hoping for the best and it was soooooo close. Amazing flavor for a quick cheap spot, but yet again over salted and that was pretty much the story of the meal. Even the eggroll tasted overly salty. That is the only reason this place didn't get 5 stars in my book.
Maybe I was off kilter, maybe my taste buds were overly sensitive, that did come to mind once the eggroll wrapper tasted so briny. I guess I'll have to back and find out. Anybody want to join? They have a lunch for 2 special, 3 things off the menu, to rices, and 2 eggrolls for less than $14.
I'll be back!
