| - For a plate of hot steaming fresh food this is the place to go. For me, it's a good post workout restaurant. I get a lean protein (I choose the 1/4 white chicken rotisserie) with potatoes (boiled perfectly soft with the skins on and seasoned with a light butter/dill sauce) and steamed fresh veggies (carrots, broccoli, cabbage, etc.) I ask for packets of hot sauce, maybe a teenie tiny packet of pepper, and I'm golden. Sometimes they ask if I'd like a small muffin of complimentary sweet corn bread. Sweet and golden.
The portions are large enough that I feel totally satisfied (and trust me I have a large appetite), but I feel good because what I order is not deep fried or with too much sodium. It's exactly what I want - large juicy delicious rotisserie chicken breast and a crispy wing to send me swinging into a food orbit of epic proportions!
But they have more than roast chicken, they have Chinese dishes, fried salt and pepper chicken dishes, hot chicken sandwiches with gravy, all delicious and affordable. I've eaten here about 8 times and their food is consistently good.
It's a casual place, there are TVs and reading material. You order like at a mall from a snappy & sassy Chinese woman, where you can see most food options in warming pans behind the window. Then you pay, bring your food on a tray to a very comfortable booth or table, sink into your meal and enjoy. At lunchtime there's usually a line and the place does have their regulars, but there's always room.
Since the booths can fit 4 comfortably, this is a great place for a group lunch or casual dinner.
It's on 32nd Avenue in the NE next to Arby's.
