I was eager to try this place. My husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy, but I convinced him to come along. I was still worried, though--I wanted him to like his food. The propaganda aspect worried me a little but it wasn't that bothersome. The TVs are at a very low volume.
I advised him to get the #44 Mongolian Wonder because of the Yelp reviews. I ordered the #55 Phoenix Leisure. Our two cups of water and broth soon came out. The broth appetizer was quite good.
The food soon followed. It smelled great and the proportions weren't bad at all; it looked exactly as depicted on the menu. Looking at other tables, the soup bowls are enormous, too. My husband was pleasantly surprised by his food. He said the texture was a little off of beef but it was good. He ate it all without any complaint, and I gave him most of my brown rice, too.
My dish was good, too. The rainbow salad wasn't anything spectacular but it WAS much better than the side salads you get at most other restaurants. It had a great crunch and the colors were pretty. The protein was excellent; sauce had excellent savory flavor. The vegetables were perfectly cooked--crispy, not mushy. The brown rice was perfectly steamed.
If this restaurant was closer to where I lived, I'd probably visit on a regular basis. There are a number of other things on the menu I'd love to try.
