| - I found an old menu off on the internet and used that to make my selections. Perhaps it was a very, very old menu because what I calculated to be about $17 and change ended up being $23 and change once I ordered.
Sesame Beef (quart size): Had a cheap feel to it and the sauce was a bit sweet for my liking. I'm used to beef with a lite coating but this was more heavily breaded.
House Special Friend Rice: Very, very dry. The rice could easily be separated into individual pieces. The beef, chicken, and shrimp were skimpy.
Egg Rolls: Overall very good, much larger than typical.
Service: Easy to order on the phone, polite delivery driver. One big negative was that they brought no soy sauce and no hot mustard even though I asked for them on the phone. I only received a very small container of sweet & sour sauce. The average quality of the food was magnified since I wasn't able to season it to taste.
Most of these issues can be chalked up to my own person taste, so to each his own. I've found a lot of Chinese restaurants have dry fried rice. Others might like the sweeter, breaded sesame beef.
The combo prices (include extras like 1 egg roll, rice, etc) are very cheap so if I give this place another try I'll go that route. I can handle average Chinese food like I can handle average pizza, but only if the price makes up for the difference. At $23 (not including tip) it just wasn't worth it.
