| - First off, I came here specifically because of the pictures provided by Trina T. of the Bangkok 9 stripped crispy chicken. It looked positively delicious. I fantasized about it for several days afterwards in order to build up the appropriate appetite for it. When I arrived at the restaurant and glanced at the menu, it was nowhere to be found. I was terror-stricken. I asked them if it was still available and they assured me, yes, they now changed the name of it to orange chicken. I thought to myself: oh great, not another orange chicken. I didn't see anything else I thought I'd like on the menu, so I decided to order it anyway (orange chicken is the white man's safe choice, after all)...and I'm so glad I did. Wow, I was not expecting that. The chicken was perfect -- crispy and crunchy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside (I could cut it with a fork). The sauce was delicious; not too overpowering, not too syrupy or sticky and with a decidedly unique flavoring. The portions were huge (I have dinner packed for tonight) and the price was just right for the level and quality of food being served. Holy crap, I can't recommend it any better than that. Hands down the best "orange" chicken I've had since moving to Henderson. In addition, the waitresses were friendly (and cute) and constantly checking up on me, refilling my drink and not making me feel bad about dining alone like a pathetic loser. An easy 5 stars from me, and I'm pretty stingy with my stars.
