Saw this place in the Phoenix Mag, Asian Food Guide edition. Came to try out the two dishes that were recommended - San Dong Garlic Chicken and Jia jiang Mien. Both were yummy and didn't disappoint. I love Jia Jiang Mien (Black Bean sauce with noodles). It's like a comfort food for me. This one was good. Not the best I've ever had but still yummy. Bf tried it for the first time and gave it a thumbs up. They've got Dan Jia Jiang Mien which is a drier version apparently and a Special Jia Jiang Mien which has sea cucumbers and something else that I forgot. Will be back to try both.
It's served with a side of kimchee and like other reviewers, it was eh. It wasn't even spicy. What kind of kimchee is that?!
The San Dong chicken is a half a chicken that is fried and then chilled and cut into pieces. It's served with a garlicky vinegar sauce and cucumbers underneath. Bf was skeptical b/c he likes his food piping hot. But he liked this one a lot so thumbs up.
Service was not the greatest as the older lady didn't look all that enthusiastic but since i didn't come for the service, that didn't matter to me. Will def. be back!
