| - So, one star is hard for me to give, but Beijing was an utter disappointment. Livin in the area, I love trying new places and Chinese, even better. So, driving home Friday night I spotted Beijing. Got home, checked out the menu and called for pickup. I ordered the Shrimp with broccoli dinner special which includes rice, egg roll, and your choice of soup. I chose the spring roll and wonton soup. I was quoted 15 minutes and when I arrived my order was ready. And, there were multiple people picking up orders as well as diners in the restaurant. A good sign in my mind, not!
The wonton soup was brown, see photo. Never having seen a brown soup I was a little nervous and I was right, nasty taste. The rice was so blah and the shrimp and broccoli was covered in a thick brown sauce that has a horrible taste and the shrimp tasted very fishy. As for the spring roll, pure grease. All I will say is the fortune cookie was the only thing about the meal I enjoyed. I will definitely not be back. Bummer, because it is convenient to me.
