| - I'm in the process of moving to this area, so I am trying to find new go-to restaurants in all of my favourite foods.... I won't judge a book by it's cover, but I will judge a restaurant by it's clientele, and a Chinese restaurant by it's hot and sour soup. I walked into this place, and it was completely empty. At 6 pm. That should have been my clue to walk back out, but this is the only Chinese within 5 miles of my house.... so I tried it out anyway. I ordered curry chicken, chicken chow fun, and hot and sour soup to go. At home, I tried small portions of each. The good: large portions, they offer brown rice (not a blend), and the chow fun was solid. A little bland, maybe, but solid. The bad: the chicken curry had a really nice flavor, but it contained a lot of potatoes..... ummm. Yes, potatoes. So I've never had potatoes with any Chinese food before, ever. And I eat Chinese food because if you omit the white rice and noodles, it's really easy to eat low carb. Wasn't pleased to find the potatoes. And last, the ugly: you guessed it, the hot and sour soup. NASTY!!! This soup contained shrimp, which isn't unheard of, but the soup is apparently how this restaurant disposes of it's slightly past it's expiration date seafood. I don't love shrimp, and I really don't love fishy-tasting nastiness in my soup. I will not be back. If anyone has suggestions for a better Chinese restaurant west of this one, please let me know!!!
