Ok- I have never literally stepped inside this location. Nor would I ever. This has long been known as the greasy spoon of all of chinatown. Cheap, hangover (or hangover-preventer) kind of food. If I were in the neighbourhood I doubt I would ever CHOOSE this place. But do you know what this place IS good for? CHEAP DELIVERY.
Yes, we succumbed. I NEVER eat delivery. I think it's kind of lazy and fat. (don't ask me how I can describe "delivery" as "fat"--but I just did. I just imagine it to be the kind of thing obesity is made up of-- and I mean the practice in general, no matter what the actual type of food is)
Anyhow, we decided we were lazy, we wanted a cliche movie night, and my friend is a huge fan of just-eat and all those other delivery services. So we tried it at my place and I have to admit it was pretty okay.
Yeah, it's greasy as hell
But they will deliver it free, courteously and the food is still HOT when it arrives.
Steam up some white rice and you have a cheap feast for under 40$ for 4-6 people, or many many meals.
I highly suggest you also make a side of broccoli or some sort of steamed veg to accompany whatever you order because this meal needs to be watered down with non-oil things.
Menu Reccos:
-Shanghai noodles (they aren't well done..but I love the wok-fire taste)
-Eggplant (This is fairly on par with any eggplant you will get even at nice places. Yeah, maybe there is a ladle more of grease here...but you can't really tell amongst the delicious mushiness of the eggplant.
-Stir fried beef anything. I usually go ginger-beef.
I think if I ever walk in here in person I'll never want to do take-out again.
So I will stay blissfully unaware and keep it as an option for take-out when I have fatties to feed and all I got lying around is some rice.
