| - This is probably one of the better Chinese restaurants in the area. I live down the street, and given the myriad of quality Chinese places around me, this is still my choice most of the time. They've got some great authentic dishes, but still have your standard safe options for the less adventurous. They have fresh seafood and specials depending on the availability of ingredients. One thing I like about them is that the chow mein, fried rice, chow fun, and rice noodles here are priced reasonably compared to other places at around $5.50. I'm constantly surprised at how much consumers are gouged for rice or noodles that cost almost nothing. If I can buy a bag of rice for $10 and make rice for a small army, why do I get charged $8 for a small portion with some meat and veggies added. Thank you Tao Garden for not trying to screw us over.
In any case, the food here really is great and as authentic as you would want. I recommend the salt and pepper pork chop, the beef stew(not for the faint of heart beef eaters, i.e. tripe and tendon), singapore rice noodles, kung pao chicken, and curry chicken.
As I've said before, don't go to a Chinese restaurant expecting good service. You'll be disappointed almost anytime. Look for great food, and let the food speak for itself.
