| - I was out shopping with my girlfriend one day in Akron and happened upon a Chinese restaurant reminiscent of old Chinatown. Instantly I was intrigued by hoping for a great restaurant, but fearful of judging a book by its cover. Upon entry, the seating area was huge. Staff was friendly and directed us to our table. I cannot explain what it was but I had a good feeling about this place. The menu is quite large with Thai and Japanese options as well. I went with a sought after rare to be done well favorite dish of mine...Sweet and Sour chicken. I also ordered 2 spring rolls. My lovely ordered red curry dish and hot and sour soup. We made small talk about our great finds in the shopping center and wondered what the delivered package would taste like once served.
The spring rolls I had were fantastic, lightly oiled vegetable only, great fine crisp crunch both in roll and veggies each bite. I am told the Sweet and Sour soup was great, among the best. My Sweet and Sour Chicken was near perfect as to what I look for...Light sauce, not too heavy, fresh pineapple, green pepper, and onion. The batter of the chick was light, fluffy yet satisfying. Crisp, not over cooked, not too much oil. Tasted perfect with the sauce
If I have one complaint its that dessert was not what I had expected. The menu had said fried bananas and I am still forever searching for a restaurant that will flambé right at the table. I had asked the server if that was done and she said yes. This was not the case, but what was brought out was quite the treat. Individually fried banana slices with decadent vanilla ice cream and almond cookies. Being that everything was served satisfactorily, I will choke the mix-up to miscommunication, but the food is great, and we will definitely make a trip out of our back here. Perfection
