| - I was really hoping to say that I finally found a recommendation-worthy Chinese restaurant in FH; unfortunately, that's NOT the case here. I started small this first visit &ordered the Lettuce Wraps and Egg Drop Soup. Can't go wrong, right? Wrong!
Lettuce Wraps: Opened the box to find 3 leaves of lettuce & the "fixings". And by "leaves" I mean: exceptionally tiny, greenish/white "leaf-lettes"from an apparent mini-head of lettuce. Being that Lettuce Wraps are usually eaten by "wrapping" the lettuce around the fixings (hence the name), it was a futile experience to attempt to WRAP the baby leaflettes around anything!!
Egg Drop Soup: I should admit that I often drive to Jade Palace on 92nd & Shea JUST for the Egg Drop Soup; it's THAT good! So while the bar was set high, I still thought it achievable.
#1. It's Egg Drop Veggie Soup. Which is fine, if you like a really "meaty" spoonful of egg-drop soup - which I do not! Here's what I found i: beans, pea pods, cucumber, green onion, white onion, carrots, and some lovely mushy tofu. It was LOADED.
Here's what was NOT in the Egg Drop Soup: Anything resembling a lovely, rich egg-drop FLAVOR!
In conclusion: Two major mis-fires. Far enough off the mark that I won't be returning.
