| - This is a small apparently family owned restaurant located in the Bashas Grocery store parking lot. (It's around back on the left). About 6 booths and 5 tables.
I was surprised to see a fairly complete menu, with all of the typical items found in a chinese restaurant. I had the PotStickers, Pork Fried Rice, Mongolian Beef and Wonton Soup.
Would I say the meal was the best I've had in my life? Ummm, no. BUT, it was very good.
The Potstickers were well cooked. Not too pan fried, and not soggy. The filling was well mixed and tasty and the potstickers were served with a thicker, mixed spice sauce which itself was worth special mention. It was terrific! Yes, the fried rice was just a bit overcooked, but the fried rice itself was tasty and had the right mix of rice to ingredients. (too many times in smaller restaurants fried rice has a hint of overcooked oil... this Fried Rice was perfect!). The Wonton Soup was a bit opaque in color instead of clear broth, but again, this is a matter of personal taste, and the soup was good. Filled well with wontons or dumplings (not sure which, but didn't really matter to me. The Mongolian Beef was outstanding. Too often chinese restaurants over season Mongolian beef, or use cuts of beef that are less trimmed. Here, they did an anaming job. Well trimmed meat, perfectly cooked, mixed with sauteed onions, and you ciuld actually still taste the beef, not just the sauce!
