If you've been looking for great chinese food but haven't found any place worth mentioning in AZ then you're not the only one...... UNTIL you get here!! And yes I know they aren't technically a chinese restaurant since they serve a selection of chinese/japanese/vietnamese/etc here, but what can I say! When I think of Japanese food = sushi/tempora/ramen, Vietnamese food= spicy/sauteed, and well when I get a craving for yummy-delicious chinese food.... I think of Zang!!
I live in Tempe and when I come visit my parents (in Glendale), I come here and literally stuff my face & stomach to the brink of explosion that it kind of hurts to drive that half hour back to my house! And yes I take all the doggie bags.
These are what I've tried so far (well the ones I can remember from my last trip there!!)
1. Lettuce Wrap-chicken (appetizer) Delicious!! If you're going to get a starter GET THIS!
2.Pineaple & Cashew Chicken (main) It's sweet and the pineapple pieces in the dish goes crazy good with the chicken!! (I'm not a fan of fruits in main dishes but these work really great together!)
3. Beef & Broccoli (main) you would think such a simple dish would be easy enough for any chinese restaurant to make, but then you would be wrong. But Zang definitely hits all the right notes with this one! (...... alright I'm asian and I can't make beef & broccoli so I guess it's more a simple-dish-name then a simple dish to make!)
4.Shanghai Beef (main) Another delicious dish!! Perfectly cooked beef with vegetables seasoned to perfection. (Trust me, I'm not a huge fan of veggies but they flavor everything here SOOOO good I would actually be happy with a vegetarian dish here!!...... not that my carnivore side would actually let me nix the meat)
5. Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles. On the menu this item has a red pepper indicating that this is a hot dish..... it is definitely not! Actually all the dishes I've tried with that 'logo' on it hasn't had that kick that it promises! Hahaha! I LOVE spicy things, but never the less this noodle dish is D~lish!! To me it tasted a little bit sweet then spicy but it's so good that you forget that it's even suppose to be spicy : )
Alright I can't BELIEVE I wrote so freakin much!! I've never written a review on line before and I think I may have gotten a little carried away..... hahahaha! But I truly love this place and once I started rolling I couldn't stop! (and yes when I text I use A LOT of exclamation points also!!) I just hope that somebody who reads this will go there love it and tell somebody who'll go there .... and so on and so forth. I want this place to rack in the $ so they'll want to maybe expand and open another one in TEMPE!! ........ Zang.... are you listening....... ?
