  • Paul's YER (Yelp Elite Rating): 3.75 Stars (Rounded UP) OK, so I was EXCITED to try this Mom and Pop's place soley based on the Yelp Reviews. Like everyone here has stated, it looks SOOOOOOOOO, hummm, "Iffy" from the outside? Yup, it sure does. But the INSIDE is CLEAN and inviting. No kidding. It's like something out of I Dream of Jeanie (yeah I'm THAT old to remember that stuff - yikes!), where Jeanie puts a Taj Mahal space inside a garage, etc..... Now I had NO problem communicating with the lady behind the counter. Thick Chinese accent? Yupper. Did she speak decent English? Yupper again! She was pleasant and friendly, and helped me make a selection since it was my first time here. So I read about the "amazing" General Tso's chicken, so that was a must. Someone said their Egg Rolls were "purdy goot" too, so thankfully they came with my entrees.....of which I got a SECOND one (because Chinese makes GREAT left over lunches!), and that second entree was their Beef Egg Foo Young. So I got an Egg Roll and a SPRING Roll (which was a great idea.....more on that later). And of course, being half Asian, I always order a rice dish, so I got their House Special Fried Rice. All for moi, one big eater who loves Chinese leftovers! What stood out? The Beef Egg Foo Young! THAT was DELICIOUS! To me much of it has to do with the brown sauce, and theirs seemed to be Teryiaki based but NOT too sweet, which was good. More like a savory sweet. I'm an Egg Foo Young manwhore so yes, I loved it! But NOT all EFYs are that good! This one was! Just about as good as Dragonfly's for somewhat less $$$. So 5 Stars for this dish. The Spring Roll was much better than the Egg Roll. Not that the Egg Roll was bad. But the Spring Roll was really crispy and reminded me more of a Thai Roll than a Chinese roll. Nonetheless, it was yummy! 4 Stars on the Spring Roll, 3 Stars for the Egg Roll. I was slightly disappointed with the General Tso's Chicken. It WAS good. But after reading the reviews I guess I was expecting AMAZING! While good, it was NOT "amazing" by any stretch of the imagination. It did have some nice heat which I really liked. But it wasn't as "crispy" as I'd like so 2.5 Stars for the GTC. The House Special Fried Rice was pretty good, with chicken, beef and shrimp. A 3 Star Effort. Each entree came with white or fried rice and an Egg Roll (like I did, you CAN opt for a Spring Roll which I recommend). Bottom line: LOTS of good quality food for not a whole lot of money! Definitely a business we should ALL support because this is NOT a chain restaurant. It's a hard working Mom and Pops effort so I recommend them to all my fellow Yelpers! I've passed this place up for as long as I've been here in Charlotte (since Feb 2011) and I judged this book by it's crappy cover. Don't make the same mistake I did. Come check them out then Yelp your review!
