| - We did take-out at Dragon Fly, which generally saves on tip, drinks, and over-eating temptations. I even walked there to work up an appetite.
We tend to get the same thing over and over at Chinese restaurants. I know it's boring, but it is a great way to compare who has the best food.
The menu here is very consumer-friendly (and available on-line, great for take-out without the wait) and the prices are reasonable. Once we find 'our place', then we branch out from there.
My husband got the General Tso's chicken with brown rice. According to him, it was average. I tasted it, and agreed. Usually there is not enough sauce for my taste in this dish, but there was plenty of sauce, so the rice was also full of flavor, even when you finished your chicken.
I got the chicken and broccoli, and found it slightly above average. Again, it was saucy, so there was much more flavor involved than usual. It wasn't too salty, either, which some places do to disguise the fact that the dish is mostly bland vegetables (gasp!) I also had brown rice, and it was done well.
The egg drop soup (which is a Chinese food staple for me) was good--pretty average, nothing too special, but I finished the single serving. I always add pepper to mine because I like the added kick, but the flavor would have been fine without it.
I have heard that the atmosphere is nice and enjoyable, so I will definitely eat in soon enough. This is a restaurant worth checking out if you live in SouthPark. I don't think it is a destination restaurant, though. A good chinese place should be available in most neighborhoods in the area, at least I hope!! I will probably do a bit more shopping around for our go-to chinese restaurant.
