| - As neighborhood Chinese restaurants go this one is pretty good. I have only ever ordered take out so I can't speak for the table service. The delivery service however, is pretty fast and nice. Having a terrible craving for Chinese food yesterday I ordered beef with snow peas, fried wonton, and honey chicken - all for myself. The bf likes the bbq pork fried rice so that was his request even though he was not hungry for dinner.
I like their fried wonton. I have had both the cream cheese and the pork. I think I may enjoy the pork more but I will have to sample it again when I am not starving. You know how being hungry makes everything taste good. Was a little perturbed that it didn't come with sweet and sour sauce like the cream cheese ones. Instead, it came with this oily chili looking something in a small container that went straight into the trash. Luckily I had left over sweet and sour sauce from the last time I had made lumpia.
The beef and snow peas is solid. Being the carnivore that I am, I would like there to be less veggies and more beef. There also happens to be carrots and a whole plethora of other things as well as the snow peas but that really doesn't matter to me. Give me more of the wafer thin wonderfully covered in brown sauce and melt in you mouth beef. The honey chicken is not bad. It's very "Americanized." White meat, covered in batter and then again in sauce. Well not everything can be a home run but at least it gets to the base.
Now as I've mentioned in other reviews the rice at an Asian restaurant can make or break it for me. Their rice is "iffy." And by that I mean, when I get it, at first it is piping hot and has a passable sticky texture. However, on the reheat for leftovers it's a no go. It's mealy, dry and has "instant rice" texture. Well, leftovers can get homemade rice since there is always some available. As for the fried rice, my bf really likes it. Beyond that, I don't know cause I don't eat fried rice.
