| - Everyone has their own opinions of what "kind" of Chinese they prefer. This one, is not mine.
Although the staff were friendly, the food was not as good as some other Chinese restaurants I've experienced in this town.
I ordered egg rolls and the mongolian beef lunch special. First - the spring rolls. Now when I envision a delicious spring roll I see a delicate wrapper with shredded goodness on the inside. Light, flavorful. These were the opposite. The wrapper was SO thick, it felt like I was chewing on two of them, not just one. And the "shredded veggies" on the inside, were not shredded. They were chopped up and extremely thick, the veggies were hard as well, as though they hadn't been cooked well. It was too much to chew. The "spicy mustard" they gave to me was in a packet and was not hot AT ALL. It was like regular mustard. Yuck.
The mongolian beef was good but again, the slices of beef were enormous! They were not bite sized. They were double and triple bite sized. Definitely do NOT order this on a date because you will look like a velociraptor tearing into his meal. There was a lot of flavor, but also - a LOT of grease. The fried rice that went along with the meal was dry and tasteless. I only ate a couple of bites.
So overall, if you're looking for a quick meal with big portions and friendly staff - you've got it. If you're looking for refined taste and normal portions - you might want to try elsewhere. Sometimes, and this is one of those times, bigger isn't always better.
