The food here was not good. When I want Chinese food, I go to Golden Harbor. I happened to be in the area and needed to grab something quickly before heading back to work. I figured I'd give it a shot.
I had seen some good reviews for this place so I figured I'd give it a shot. Before I commit to a full meal at a new Chinese restaurant, I order the hot and sour soup. It never fails, I can tell how good (or not) the restaurant will be based on their hot and sour soup. I ordered a hot and sour soup and an order of egg rolls to go. They prepared both items as soon as I placed them. So that was a plus. The woman who took my order was friendly and the restaurant looked clean; that's where the good experience ended.
I got back to my office and could tell right away I was not going to be blown away by the soup. Before I even removed the lid, I could tell the soup was littered with pepper. Good hot and sour soup is made spicy using spicy oil, not pepper. The soup tasted purely like pepper broth and was lacking the "sour" part. It was also full of fillers that one does not encounter in hot and sour soup (e.g. cabbage).
Fine, hot and sour soup is time intensive, and not as popular as wonton and egg drop soup. I could let that slide. The part that sealed the deal for me was the raw egg rolls. The very outer shell was crispy but with the first bite, the center was cold and everything but the outermost part of the shell was uncooked.
Very disappointing. Will not be eating here again.
