| - We had high hopes for this place because of location. There is a circle of Chinese restaurants that we rotate through - Wong Jr., Big Heng, China Place, Golden Dragon, China Rainbow, Grand Dragon, D & Y, T &J and more, but we always want to add more. Unfortunately, this won't be one.
The hot and sour soup was the worst I can remember. I make hot and sour soup occasionally and it's better by a factor of ten. If a professional can't do it better, what's the point? It was the broth that was lacking most, but I can't put it into words.
I usually order chicken and vegetables on the first visit. If they can make something so basic taste good then the other things should be. The white sauce was watery. The meat and vegetables weren't bad, but they weren't good - bland.
My companion had Kung Pao chicken. Unlike another reviewer, hers had only a few green onions and many red chilies. The chicken had a "funny" taste. She hypothesized it was because of fish sauce which she doesn't care for. Her egg drop soup was barely acceptable.
The best things were the cream cheese puff and egg roll.
The stake through the heart was charging a credit card processing fee. I don't think I have been charged a CC fee in 30 years. They won't last long. Too bad.
