| - Chef Peter Wong, in many ways, makes this enigmatic restaurant a must visit. The place itself is slightly run down banquet-hall type that is perpetually empty, devoid of both staff and customers. However digging deeper, you will find that this family own restaurant is indeed a gem.
Here is why. Recently returned Chef, Peter Wong (who was away for awhile and has finally come back) is perhaps one of the most interesting Chef's I have ever met. He claims to have cooked for Regan at the White House, was sought after by Vegas Hotel moguls in the 80's, created the original sauce for the Orange Chicken dish, and many many more.
Are any of these true? Who knows. What I do know is the food is incredible and unique.
What I got:
1. Peking Pork
2. Taro Chicken
3. Raddish, Beef, and Tendon in sauce in clay pot
4. Walnut Shrimp
5. Fruit salad with shrimp
6. Green beans
7. Chinese green in special house sauce
8. Stuffed jalapenos and eggplant...
All of these were incredible. My suggestion is not to order off the menu. Instead ask for the Chef to come over and describe to him your taste and what you like. Let him craft a meal for you.
I would call in before coming regardless of what the hours are.
Take a chance, try something unique. It may be the most interesting and rewarding experience you will have.
