| - I went with a friend midafternoon on a Friday, with not much hope that I would finally find decent Asian food in Phoenix. But I was hugely surprised at the quality of their food, and you'll pardon me if this review sounds like it's a fake. I grew up back East, and haven't found a restaurant to match, so I guess I'm kinda excited about finding it. We shared the Won Ton Soup which will become my "comfort food" in the future. The broth was flavorful, and the won tons and BB pork were generous and cooked without being soggy. We also shared the Roast BBQ Pork, which was tender, and the sauce did not overwhelm the flavor of the pork. I had the Spring Roll With Pork, which contained a delicious stuffing of pork inside a crispy wrapper; not greasy nor soggy at all. The Pork Fried Rice was "real" fried rice. This isn't the usual minute rice with carrots and peas you get at other restaurants. This had slices of BBQ Pork, shreds of egg, and a nice hint of sliced green onions. The Sweet and Pungent Pork was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the pineapple tasted as if it was fresh off the tree. We were also offered a shrimp sample, from the Shrimp With Walnuts entree. I think I will have to have this next time I go. Lightly breaded, with a yummy cream sauce that did not overpower the fresh taste of the shrimp.
It was quiet in the restaurant; not a lot of customers, even though we stayed long enough for people to get off work and come for a bite. The prices were a bit high. I've decided it's worth it, but others may not. The wait staff was pleasant and helpful.
