| - Worst Chinese food I've had since I left North Dakota.
Okay, I was going to build up to a grand conclusion, writing this beautiful prose and sharing my final analysis of Diamond Chinese Restaurant in an eloquently laced sentence filled with spirit and poetry. I had even written almost a full page of lead-up to this grand conclusion, when I suddenly realized that most people will never make it past my first paragraph (much less the sixth or seventh, I can't remember how many I had written) and therefore would never truly know how I feel. Anyway, that is why I made my feelings known up front.
We ordered the Pepper Beef and Kung Pao Spicy Chicken. Of course we assumed that by adding "Spicy" to the Kung Pao Chicken, they were trying to let us know that this dish must be really spicy, seeing that Kung Pao Chicken is already spicy. Both dishes were devoid of any flavor, let me repeat, Devoid Of Any Flavor what-so-ever. And this may come as a shock to you, but the Kung Pao "Spicy" Chicken was not the least bit spicy, not even close.
Only after depleting the container of Hot Pepper Oil was the chicken even remotely spicy, but it came at a terrible price - the Hot Pepper Oil added a strange flavor to the chicken dish and actually made it slightly putrid.
So now here's what worries me, how could so many people be this terribly wrong about a place? What happened? Unless someone can explain why this food was so bad, I may not give this place a second chance.
