Went to this restaurant based on reviews from Yelp. Ordered Thick noodle in peanut sauce, chive and pork deep fried dumpling, Shaxian wonton and Pork ribs in wine sauce.
Thick noodle in peanut sauce $2.49. Peanut sauce didn't have much peanut flavour. Noodles is Lai Fun.
Chive and pork deep fried dumpling $5.49 8 pieces. Not the regular dumplings that you may be use to. There is more meat than chive, reminds me of meatball. I can taste some spice seasoning, kind of like five spice.
Shaxian wonton $3.49 16 pieces. Mini wonton with soup. Not much pork flavour. Reminds me of pork balls wrapped in wonton wrapper. Filling is light and bouncy just like pork balls. These wontons are one biters.
Pork ribs in wine sauce $9.99. This was the worst dish out of the four. The ribs are pre fried and when a customer orders they refry and add the sauce. The meat was dry and hard. 80% of the pork ribs was bone, cartilage and batter. Really no meat, should have called it cartilage in wine sauce. I know the sauce is suppose to be vinegar base, but it was extremely strong. You can see chilli flakes and minced raw garlic but I could not taste it... that's how strong th vinegar was.
Maybe Shaxian food is not my taste. The flavour is one note, I see other components in the dish but I don't taste it. The quality of the pork ribs was really bad. Nothing I ate there made me want to go back.
