| - Still one of my favorite Chinese places. Good friendly service, clean and bright space, good consistently food. The owner is always so cheery and humble and remembers us each time and comes by to say hello. There are some unexpected fusion type dishes, but also traditional foods too (though this is not your average Chinese menu, more like Chaozhou style). Everything is fresh and comes piping hot, in large portions. There really isn't much over $10 so I feel this place is also good value on top of it being on with flavors. Since I come with fair regularity, I figured I should just make a running tally of what I'm ordering.
Favorites -
E-fu noodles: I have a thing for e-fu. It's a soft noodle with very subtle flavors, but comforting to me.
Honey Glazed Eggplant - It's like honey walnut shrimp, but eggplant and less mayo-y. A bit of hot sauce and this crispy bite is a guilty pleasure.
Lotus root w/ pork - this isn't on any of the menus, but the black board menu all in Chinese. I've only ever had lotus root in soups so I had no clue it was crunchy. Thanks to Christina W. this became my favorite, though it's hard to order it since I don't know the Chinese name. I show them the picture I took! Haha.
BBQ Pork Rice Plate - their bbq pork here is juicy and perfect. Comes with rice, and steamed veggies.
Singapore Noodles - not on the menu anymore, but they have all the ingredients and still make it for me. This is my favorite place to get it actually, just the right amount of curry flavor, has that yummy bbq pork slices and shrimp on it.
Fish filet salt & pepper - theirs is really nicely crisp and I like they make it smaller pieces than larger filets so easy to split, and plenty of crunchy surface.
Other stuff I've tried worth mentioning -
Nan Yang Chow Noodles- I've only had this once so far, but it was interesting and good. I didn't know what it was so figured, what the heck? It's wide noodles in a rich peanutty, spicy XO sauce. I would order this again.
Crab with XO sauce vermicelli - I'm not too keen on vermicelli, but somehow between this and Singapore noodles, Wendy's sells me on it.
Seafood XO sauce stir fried udon - This is like, chow meins spicy, savory cousin for foodies. I think I just like anything in XO sauce. It's that umami spiciness that is irresistible. You can also do this with thin rice noodles, but have not tried it that way.
Spare rib black bean sauce hot pot - I love those spare ribs at dim sum, but I just wanted a whole bowl full on rice. Finally a place with it in a entree size just for meeee!
Pan fried rice cake w/ egg - The BF isn't a fan so I never get to order it, but I love crispy rice cake and with the over easy egg on it and dipped in a bit of soy and red vinegar - yum!
Salty fish rice with chicken - their fried rice is fluffy and not greasy at all here so even if salty fish isn't your thing, try another fried rice and I don't think you will be disappointed.
Also their desserts here always look great and interesting but I never have the room for it. One day. One day I will have a dessert. I've also never really ventured much in terms of their soups, though I always see people ordering it up.
I know I've forgetting a few things I liked. I try to order 1 new thing and 1 favorite when I visit so I'm sure I'll be updating this review a few times.
