| - If you like & miss East coast (think NY & DC here) Chinese food, then you will LOVE this place.
Plan ahead, delivery takes at least an hour on a fri night. Order online & vacuum the house or wash the dog...you'll have time! I'm not taking off any stars for this since I'm lazy and not driving to get food on a fri night & I had read the other reviews so was prepared to wait.
I left NY in 1995 and have yet to find any restaurant (fine dining or dive in 6 different states) that makes cold sesame noodles like my favorite hole in the wall in Kew Gardens....until tonight that is! YUM x10!! And a big portion (enough for 4). Tiny little bit of shredded carrots & even tinier bits of shredded cabbage on top which is perfect IMO. Why muck up the star attraction with veggies?!
The pork fried rice has the perfect amount of peas, pork chunkettes & chinese-y flavor. No soy sauce necessary and it's not greasy...score!!
We ordered the family dinner with hot/sour soup, egg rolls, sweet/sour chicken (I hate, but it is hubs' favorite) and Mongolian beef (figured it was a safe try-out meal).
It was still 90 degrees out so we skipped the (steaming hot) soup saving it for later. The beef was moist, tender-ish and spicy but not tongue on fire hot (I don't like hot so by normal hot & spicy standards it was probably only a 1 out of 5 peppers). When you order online, there is a place for special instructions so you could get them to make it hotter if you like. As far as the sweet/sour chicken, the portion is huge and I tasted the chicken (no mystery meat here!) and thought it to have a very good chicken to breading ratio & also NOT greasy. And I know you thought I forgot to review the egg rolls, but I was saving the best for last. Get a load of this....we got 2eggrolls, 2 crab Rangoon AND 2 fried shrimp for our appy.....who doesn't love a gift with purchase?!?! I scarfed both Rangoon & hubs ate the shrimp & 1 eggroll. It is rare he will agree to eat Chinese food with me and even more rare that he will say anything nice about it, but he says, "very good, I thought it was all very good/no complaints with anything. Best we've had (since moving here 2 years ago). No, really!"
They give you a little packet of 2 mustard, 2 soy sauce & 2 duck sauce and 2 packets of crunchies. We didn't use any of it...everything had such a good flavor on its own. There was no plastic ware, but I guess they assumed they were delivering to a house that has silverware. So if you're picking up or in the middle of moving, ask for plasticware.
Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow!
