| - I have driven by this place many times and decided yesterday to stop by and give it a try. When I try a new Oriental restaurant - I judge it based on the same three things - their House Lo-Mein or House Chow-Main, their Egg Rolls and/or Spring Rolls and their Chicken Wings. I also eat in, which if you truly want to judge a location eat in first, don't run home with your food.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE:
Cleanliness - I was there at 5:20pm, none of the tables had been wiped down. The person who sits there (if lucky) throws away their trays, etc. when they are done. But it was obvious no one comes along and periodically cleans the tables.
Chicken Wings - not sure why the Orientals cannot make a decent chicken wing, but this place wins the prize for being the most nasty wings I have ever had. If you love grease and no taste you will probably give these 5 stars.
Chicken Egg Rolls / Vegi Spring Rolls - frozen and fried, mush inside (had both), though the Spring Rolls had a slight better taste than the Egg Rolls, I would not order either ever again. Grease and mush in a crispy shell is best how describe both.
WHAT I DID LIKE:
PORTION - I will agree with everyone here, the portions are huge and I was not disappointed there for the price. In a pinch I would go back and order a main course, just nothing else. Also don't get hung up on "Lo-Mein" vs "Chow-Mein" unless you have a clue what both really mean. Both can come as a soft noodle.
PRICE - Good
(Main Dish) TASTE - I enjoyed the flavor of the House Chow-Mein and while not the best I have had in town, it was really good and I would have it again.
So three stars - for price, main dish taste and portions. Stop there with your order and it probably will not disappoint.
For the person who said that this is the best place in the West Valley, please get out more, this is obviously the only place you have been. For those that compare authentic Oriental Restaurants to Panda Express, please get cultured - don't disgrace the Orientals that way.
