| - Inexpensive and decent Chinese Cuisine.
Come dine here for the food, not the service or ambience. The walls are fairly bare, and besides a TV playing Chinese Television and movies, there isn't a lot going on aesthetically speaking.
We ordered:
Spring Rolls - Lightly crisp, packed with shredded cabbage and a nice garlic flavor. I prefer an Americanized Egg roll with meat inside, but this wasn't too bad. Definitely not too greasy, which is key in spring rolls.
General Tso's Chicken - Nice and sweet, this guilty pleasure item really hit the spot. The crisp breading wasn't too heavy or greasy, and the sauce, while quite viscous, wasn't overly heavy.
1/2 Smoked Duck - A light smokey flavor comparable to a smoked ham. The skin was nice and crispy, and the breast meat was especially delicious. Since duck is fattier than many other Poultry, I was alright with the pieces that had a little fat on them. Luckily if you are not, the skin (fat) seperates without struggle, and you can just enjoy the tender meat.
Dan Dan Noodles - Rice noodles topped with crushed peanuts, Chili flakes, ground pork, and chili oil. Nice and spicy, these noodles carried a bit of the chili oil which made them messy and greasy, but I still enjoyed them. The flavor was quite nice, resting on the heat from the chili flakes and the salt from the peanuts.
I wouldn't rush back here since there are so many other Chinese restaurants in the vicinity, but overall a pretty good meal, especially for the price. All this food plus two Budweisers ended up costing about $50.
