| - ok ok, haven't yet gone here for Dim Sum, but it's on my to-do list!
Had some strange craving for Chinese food this week and decided to gram some take-out after class and give Li Wah a try. Wound up getting crab meat rangoon, steamed pot stickers, the house special pan fried noodles and honey black pepper beef...and fortune cookies (don't judge, I know they're not traditional Chinese, but I'm not either and i LIKE them!).
After I called with my order they said 20 min, so great stuff on the timing!
Now, I'm comparing to NYC China Town, Vancouver and San Fran for quality of the food because those have been my main Chinese food experiences
Pot Stickers - passable, a little lackluster in flavor, definitely needed the sauce that goes with them
Crab Meat Rangoon - seriously lacking in the filling department, basically just big things of fried dough
House Special Pan fried noodles with ?Chicken? - I ordered the chicken because when I go the first time to a Chinese restaurant I don't usually order the seafood....but, it smelled very fishy when we opened it, and yep, sure enough, shrimp and taco. It was good (probably my favorite of the bunch) but not what I ordered.
Honey Black Peppered Beef - I usually order beef & Broccoli, but after reading a few reviews, this dish seemed to be a big hit. It was pretty good and I would definitely order it again even though it has asparagus in it and I've got that stupid gene....too much? ;o)
Fortune cookies - uh, where were these from? The "Depressing and Pessimistic Fortune Cookie Co."? Cookies were fine, but the inserts weren't fun at all....where are the cute little "Confucius says" ones?
So, all in all, an ok experience....especially since I'm the person that if I had to pick one Asian cuisine to eat for the rest of my life it would be Indian and most definitely not Chinese, heck, it wouldn't even make my top 5 of Asian cuisines. I would still like to try Dim Sum some time here as I love those little steamed buns!
