| - This restaurant is amazingly good, but we find it ironic that the dish they touted as the best was the worst of what we got. It took us a couple of days to eat all of the food but we tested it all right away.
We went mid week in mid afternoon, so we were the only customers. We got our order to go, despite the availability of tables. I noticed that they have enough table space for 14 people but only 12 chairs.
The restaurant was clean and the gal at the counter was friendly. She gave Hubby a packet with 2 almond cookies on the house, which was nice of her.
We order 2 appetizers, Cream Cheese Rangoons and Pot Stickers. We both ordered a cup of Hot & Sour Soup. Our entrees were their much-touted Orange Chicken plus Mongolian Beef with medium spiciness. Hubby also added Honey Fried Bananas after I pointed them out on the menu, I knew he would want that!
Rangoons: Okay on their own but fantastic with their sweet & sour sauce. The sauce actually has a bit of tang to it which separates it from the rest.
Pot Stickers: Okay on their own but fantastic with their dipping sauce. Next time we'll ask for an extra sauce, the one included was too small and we wanted more.
Hot & Sour Soup: We both loved it. The cup of soup is a huge size but we both finished off every drop.
Orange Chicken: Not good at all. It wasn't fresh, all we got was stale fried chicken & chewy yuckiness. This dish went into the trash, very disappointing.
Mongolian Beef: Excellent! Tasted fresh and flavorful, and the meat was cut well with no fat or gristle found. Medium was just the right level of spice, any more and it would have overwhelmed the great flavors of this dish.
Honey Fried Banana: Tasty, tasted lighter and fresher than I expected with the banana starring instead of just pure sugar.
We will definitely eat here again, but I doubt if I'll ever order their "Best in Town" Orange Chicken again.
