| - I have found my favorite Chinese place! Finally!
We wouldn't have known about this restaurant, but we were with some friends in Rocky River who ordered from here.
I decided to switch it up a bit and order STEAMED chicken and broccoli instead of regular, with the brown sauce on the side. Daring, I know. Well, for a dish that is essentially tasteless, they did a great job. The brown sauce it came with was the best brown sauce ever. It wasn't just like a brown gelatin glob, it was actually smooth and tasted slightly sweet. I liked this sauce better than the normal chicken & broccoli sauce. They did throw some carrots into the dish, which I wasn't too excited about (especially since they looked like crinkly-cut fries - for some reason, I hate it when carrots are cut like that). But a home run nonetheless.
And of course, the wonton soup. Thick, chewy dough, slightly salty broth without making you feel like your hands and feet are going to swell. It came with some noodles that I didn't try. But nice touch. I always appreciate the noodles. My only complaint, but this is minor, is that they didn't include any roast pork in the broth. But maybe I just got a dud serving.
And the fortune cookie: "Don't listen to snide remarks." Why are fortunes never fortunes anymore? They're more like watching contestants from The Biggest Loser wax poetic: "It's not what you have done already, it's what you CAN do;" "A nice person and a good person are not the same thing;" "Begin your journey today, even if your vacation starts tomorrow."
Anyway, five stars to China House!
