Dine In Review
Have been there several times over the last 3 months and this is hands down the only competitor to Chins in the area.
House made sauces and dumplings and desserts come at a price... just like a soft serve cone from McD's is cheap for a reason... comparing the Noble House prices to 99% of the Chinese takeout places in the surrounding communities is comparing mass market food service fare to real food.
Beijing Ravioli (large) - nice mix of spices and veggies in a delicate wrapper... nice dipping sauce... slightly spicy... just right for 2 people.
Walnut Shrimp (small) - large plump shrimp, perfectly steamed broccoli and a generous portion of candied walnuts... the best version of a buffet staple done right.
General Tso Chicken (small) - generous zucchini wedges and wonderful broccoli made for a very veggie intensive spin on a cliche dish... light breading on the LARGE pieces of chicken that were moist and flavorful... hubby was in heaven.
Brown rice was a nice option... both entrees were perfectly sized... no leftovers... not really hungry... but...
There was a book club of 12 or so people at the LARGE round table next to us and they were ordering desserts when we were nibbling on our dumplings... the young wait staff was having trouble putting words to the "Fried Milk" option. Hubby and I giggled at their attempts to describe the confection and quietly decided it must be some form of coconut milk jello/custard that we have gotten at Dim Sum houses around the country... so we took a deep breath and decided to give it a try.
My word was it large!! Each spring roll size confection contained a creamy custard that was in no way egg-y... arrowroot? agar agar? something "different" was used to bring together cream into a pudding / jello shot / something that got lost in the heavy chocolate dipping sauce... but would have been perfect if we had been a large party.
First time I have ever taken home dessert leftovers from a Chinese place :-)!
