| - We tried Double 10 for the first time last week and it was very much as advertised. I placed a take out order on-line and then went into the shop to pick it up. Everything was bagged up and ready to go on time when I arrived and all in all the transaction was very easy. The restaurant itself is on the small side and i imagine most of their business is take out or delivery. That being said, by the time we sat down to eat our delicious Chinese food was a bit cold and it probably would have tasted even better had it been hot and fresh. Here's what we enjoyed:
Hot and Sour Soup - Really tasty! Rich, flavorful soup with crunchy veggies and nice meat and tofu. Silky sort of mouth feel and overall VERY good. Nice to have the crunch of fried wontons to put on top, but they weren't really needed.
General Tso Chicken - This was actually included for free since we had a big order. Large crunchy pieces of chicken with a sweet and slightly spicy sauce. Probably not the best General chicken ever, but very enjoyable.
Mongolian Beef - Very good texture to the beef and tons of delicious onions. The sauce was really tasty as well, and again this would have been EVEN BETTER if it was nice and hot. Will definitely be ordering this again, it's a favorite recipe executed very nicely.
Shrimp Lo Mein - Good, but not my favorite. Nice texture to the noodles for sure, which is really important. The shrimp were a little small and could have been a bit more flavorful, but they were cooked nicely.
Hot Black Pepper Chicken - This was the winner of the night! Hugely flavorful with great crunchy texture and an amazing aroma. As good as the chicken itself was the mushrooms that soak up all the flavorful sauce were far and away the very best thing we had. If anything was going to be fought over it was this dish (and the gorgeous mushrooms in particular).
Broccoli w. Garlic Sauce - Garlic sauce is really good, and while this was really purchased for a vegetarian guest I could see getting it again. If you are vegetarian I'd say this is highly recommended.
Sauteed Braided String Beans - This was also ordered for our vegetarian guest, but IT IS NOT A VEGETARIAN DISH! That being said, it was DELICIOUS! Loved this and will certainly be ordering it again in the future. Fresh, crisp green beans with a nice garlic and pork sauce; an absolute winner!
Double 10 will likely become our new take out top choice for Chinese food. I'm very tempted to go try it as a sit down, but I'm worried finding seating could be a gamble. We're just a bit outside their deliver area, which is a bummer, but it's not really a terrible drive to get there and back. Highly worth a shot, especially if you're close and can enjoy the food as its served rather than as it comes out of a take out container...
