| - The boyfriend and I went here of the first time this weekend. It was a bittersweet visit. While the decor is lacking, the service is some of the best I've ever seen. We were only 2 of 2 tables that had customers. I get the feeling that they do more take out., than sit down.
That said, the menu is very unorganized and there are few vegetarian options available (at least from what I could tell from the mishmash. They do offer pressed duck, which is unusual. I decided on the Govenor's chicken (spelled the way it was) since I will eat chicken and the boy friend got the moo-goo gai pan. My diner was supposed to be is a spicy brown sauce. It was brown....both dinners were woefully under seasoned and mine was inedible (at least the one of the large "nuggets" for lack of a better word. They were the size of tangerines) I ate my rice and the server was right there, offering me a new dinner or to have mine re-made. Since the boyfriend ate another "nugget" and it was fine, we decided to take it home and he would eat it. On the upside, the veggies were cooked to perfection in both of our dishes, his with peapods, water chestnuts and mushrooms, mine on a bed of broccoli that was still bright green and quite tasty.
When they brought the check, they also brought a refreshing half an orange cut into wedges along with the fortune cookie. They did take a few bucks off the bill to make up for my dinner ,so that was nice. The sweet and sour sauce is a lurid orange pink color with little flavor. The hot mustard on the other had will take you sinuses to Pluto if you are not careful, and that is NOT a complaint!
Oh and watch the lot. No lines and people park willy-nilly.
All in all, I will go back and give this place one more shot. They were nice enough and perhaps it was an off dish for me to order. I do know that I still like Dragon Towers at Kamm's much better.
