| - Me and my best friend are fairly regular visitors to this place so I figured it was about time to review it. When it's on form they make very good dishes but unfortunately it's not consistent.
First to start, the hot and sour soup, when it's on form has just the right level of tartness and spiciness and generally it's well done, although some days are better then others.
Mixed seafood with greens is also one of the more consistent dishes with a good mix of Chinese greens and good garlic sauce flavour although some occasions I found it too salty.
The crispy beef is one of those hit and miss kind of items and I suspect it has to do with what chef you get in the kitchen at the time. You can get a really outstanding crispy beef nice and crispy layer on the outside, really moist on the inside or you can get one that taste and feels like it's been reheated with mushy beef. It just happens to be one of those hit or miss kind of items. The lack of consistency with the food is basically why I only give them an average mark. That may be part of the reason for some of the 1 star marks, because when it's bad, it's bad unfortunately.
Service is generally quite good, very efficient and attentive although I wouldn't say there super friendly or anything (mind you, most Chinese restos I go to tend not to have much in the way of smiles so I guess it's not too out of the ordinary), and prices are fair with dinner for two usually working out to the $25 range with tax and tip. They have wine too but you don't drink wine in a place like that, just a tip to the loud obnoxious ladies we who sat behind us and asked for some cabernet sauvignon, I mean seriously?
