| - Second time ordering from this place and I've got to say, they're pretty consistent.
I've only ordered for delivery and the girl who has taken my order both times is easy to understand, even if her accent is heavy. She's always very polite and patient with me who always has a change of heart when ordering delivery mid-order (I know, I'm a terrible person) . They've also been very accommodating to my requests for items not on the menu (green beans in black bean sauce) and any modifications I have to an order (um, instead of the carrots, could I just get more cabbage?).. honestly.. I don't even know how these people put up with me.
Delivery is fast and everything comes ridiculously hot! I know the corn starched sauces help with that, but seriously.. it's like magic to me. This is not the most authentic Chinese you will ever have, but sometimes, I just crave that Americanized Chinese food that's almost like.. well.. fast food. I mean, at least half of the menu items are fried, and all are smothered in sauce. Delicious in an oh-so-comforting way.
So far I have tried:
-The hot and sour soup and as a previous reviewer stated.. it's not so hot. It was sort of bland and the texture was so viscous-y I stopped after a couple bites. On the plus side, it does have some seafood in there, including a chunk of imitation crab.. never seen that before.
-The sweet and sour shrimp arrived still crispy (no, really, how do they do it?!) with the sweet and sour sauce conveniently on the side. They have an interesting technique of preparing the shrimp in such a way that they turn into little rings when fried. Like a shrimp onion ring. Sort of difficult to eat, but the great thing about it is that since it's split in half, it's definitely clean and I appreciate that!
-The eggplant with fried tofu is a total win if you like fried tofu. I'm more of a silken tofu person myself, but the sauce on this was fantastic!
-The vegetable fried rice was so-so.
-Various fried goodies: crab rangoons (I couldn't stop eating them) were free with our order, egg rolls which are vegetarian and the boyfriend loved. They looked pretty standard, more like a spring roll. They also gave us a baggie of fried wonton strips. These were happily consumed by my boyfriend who judiciously declared them as his own. He put them to good use with the rest of the sweet and sour sauce from the shrimp.
Usually when we order we get way more than we can eat, and we spend around $40 when the tip is figured in. $20 p/p with a lot of leftovers? Yep, this is my go to for indulgent pajama night when I want to turn mushy on the couch.
