| - The wifey said she had a craving for Chinese food and had been here before for lunch, so we went Saturday evening for a date night.
We were pleasantly welcomed as soon as we came in and seated at a table. All tables were nicely decorated with faux orchids or other flowers, and there were colorful paper Chinese umbrellas and other stuff hanging from the ceiling, so the decor was fun.
There were a few specials but the menu was basically as seen online. You have to ask if you don't know what a dish is as there are no descriptions. As noted by other reviewers, the prices are at least a few dollars per item more than other Chinese restaurants. However, sometimes a coupon, or their almost all-day happy hour can reduce some food and drink prices.
We first got an order of their egg rolls, which come two rolls per order. Which is fine if two people are dining together, as the cost is twice as much as one elsewhere, but if you are dining alone, that might not be a good thing. Anyway, the rolls came unadorned on a plate and were very good, not greasy, plenty hot, crispy, and filled with crispy veggies and other stuff. Dipping sauce and Chinese mustard came with it for dipping.
For entrees, I ordered the Moo Shoo Chicken, and the wifey got Mongollian Beef. The beef came out nice and hot. I had a taste and the beef was with a sauce with mushrooms and other vegetables served atop crispy noodles. The beef was nice and tender. We got a big bowl of white rice for the table. Tip to the owners: serve it with a cover, it helps keep the rice from drying out. I got my Moo Shoo with a light brown liquid at the bottom. Unlike some other places, it didn't seem cooked in much sauce nor was it oily at all. I felt ambivalent about that: healthier with less sauce and oil, but could have used more flavor. The veggies with the chicken seemed mostly shredded or chopped celery...I didn't see or taste much in the way of "Asian" vegetables. The chicken was in chunks and very tender. There were the usual 4 pancakes to fill with the Moo Shoo accompanied with hoison sauce to put on them. Tip to the owners: put the pancakes in something to keep them warm and moist. They actually did stay moist through the end of the meal, but a cover would have been nice. The Moo Shoo dish was tasty but nothing to rave about.
The service was very good, with our waitress coming around several times to see how we were doing and refilling our waters.
All in all, it was a pleasant meal in a place with nice decor and good service with good food. If you don't get the specials the prices seemed only a bit higher than other comparable restaurants. If you're in the area and seek some Chinese food, you might want to check it out.
