| - This place is fantastic! Customer service was great and the prices are VERY reasonable.
We kinda wandered our way into the Chinese Cultural Center on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I needed to pick up a couple of things from the market, and have been craving some genuinely delicious Chinese food (I was experiencing bad nerves exacerbated by systemic and repeated bouts of disappointment with my takeout and delivery options)...
ANYWHO...we got allllllll sorts of kerfluffled and twitterpated when we saw they had a dim sum section on the menu...not very many dim sum options, but all of them sounded pretty good to me (plus it was the first time I actually SAW a dim sum menu, usually I just see folks wandering around with carts of unknown treasures and delights...no carts on the day we went there though).
The menu itself is GIGANTIC, HUGE, COLOSSAL (ok, not in a Cheesecake Factory way, but definitely more than you'll find at a hole-in-the-wall quick order-by-numbers place (ie #1 w/ chicken and #27 w/ shrimp)) ... and is broken down into Americanized and non. I love that. It gives me an opportunity to get something that I'm familiar with AND try some more risque items that I can't get from Panda Express. ;)
So here's the dish:
***Wonton in Spicy & Sour Sauce (dim sum) - Heavenly
****Dumpling in Chili Sauce (dim sum) - Even better than the wontons
**Dan Dan Noodle (dim sum) - it was ok, but the other two were way better
*****Sauteed Green Bean - PHENOMENAL and second only to...
*****Yuxiang Eggplant (this was so good that if someone told me I had to eat this eggplant and those green beans every day for the rest of my life, I would thank them...and maybe offer my eternal gratitude).
All of that came to about $30, we were stuffed and had leftovers for my lunch the next day.
Also, I went to their website (just now) and it looks like you can order takeout (Phoenix) or takeout AND delivery (Chandler) from them online.
SOLID!!!
