| - I had been hearing about House of Chan for a while, it had quite a rep as being a great place. Being christmas eve, it was a good time to go test it out.
The staff was friendly, showing us to a very red booth. So far so good. My boyfriend's menu was filthy, he requested a new one. The options seemed to be either steak (which was pretty expensive), or chinese food. The options were pretty basic.
First course: Wonton soup, which I thought was decent.
We split a vegetarian egg roll which was unremarkable
A friend got their fried potatoes/onions, the potatoes were pretty good.
On the menu, the Oriental style filet mignon was highlighted as being a house specialty and our waiter said it was very good. We also ordered a vegetable chow mein, and a chicken cashew dynamite style.
The oriental style filet mignon was a small quantity of filet mixed with some snow peas and broccoli, with a soy sauce. In quality and quantity it was very disappointing, and for the $42 price it was an insulting dish, we sent it back and to the restaurant's credit at least they didn't charge us for it.
The chicken cashew dynamite was OK, but not much better than some breaded chicken with sweet tangy sauce that you'd get from a mall food court fake chinese restaurant. At $19, it was ridiculous.
In summary, the food was unremarkable and the prices sky high. Don't bother.
