| - Reading the other reviews here makes me think I must have landed in a parallel universe the night we ate here.
OK, so I'm a Bay Area native and love Sichuan food; I'm white and my girlfriend is Asian. We walk in the door, are seated, and handed the simple menu. NOTHING of interest on the menu. We decided on two very basic dishes (General Chou's Chicken and a Sichuan Prawm dish). The Chicken was atrocious - dry, old-tasting, and nothing but a pile of chicken - no vegetables, no spice, nothing. The shrimp dish was marginally better, but nothing to write home about.
Meanwhile, everyone at other tables seemed to be ordering stuff that we didn't see on the menu ... "maybe there's a Chinese menu we didn't see" we said to each other ...
On our way out, we saw the 'Chinese' menu ... full of the stuff we were looking for - "pigs stomach with jalapeno", etc . So - I'm willing to believe they have good food, but - WHY oh WHY have a separate 'whites' menu? AND - when a white guy walks in with an Asian lady, WHY not give them the 'Asian' menu? The 1 star accurately reflects the food we ate, and also applies to the waiter who did not think to offer us the appropriate menus.
We'll probably head back to Chandler for our next Chinese food experience.
