| - 4 stars given in comparison to the other Chinese restaurants in the area. We ordered take out to serve some friends who were coming over. We order out a lot. Haha! Anyhow, we found this place off the just eat website where you put in your postal code, and it popped up. We ordered tons of food high included,
1) fried bacon and shrimp dumplings,
2)wonton soup
3) Cantonese chow mein
4)pad Thai
5) black bean chicken
6) general tso's chicken and
7) tofu with mixed vegetables.
The best dishes were # 1,3,5,7 and the worst was 4, with 6 as a close 2nd. FYI, I'm referring to my above numbering system and not the menu's. The General tso's was not balanced and had too much heat and tanginess when compared to other places. I told my hubby not to get #4 but he wanted to try it and of course it sucked. My rule is to NEVER order pad Thai from a non Thai restaurant! But whatever, we got it, and it was horrible. It was spicy (I love spicy but this was bad and out of place), and there was now sweet and salty balance that you should find in a Thai dish. I didn't mention the wonton soup as neither best nor worst because it was middle of the road. Basic broth, basic wonton flavor. #1 was a new fusion type appetizer that everyone LOVED. It's definitely not traditional Chinese. But no one cared! Lol! It was delicious and gone in minutes. The Cantonese chow mein was a little greasy, but tasty. I'm wondering if I asked for less oil, if they would oblige to that request. We'll have to try that for next time. :) I enjoyed the black bean chicken because it wasn't overly salty, nor too saucy, but still managed to be very flavorful. The tofu dish was also a hit which I decided to eat the most of actually, since I'm a vegetable person. For where I live, this is one of the better Chinese spots, despite the bad pad Thai. We were pleasantly surprised with the Chinese food overall.
