| - I'd give this place 2.5 stars if it were possible.. because it's OK, but not really.
New to the area, Boyfriend and I spotted this place as we were getting to know the area and decided to try it out, since it's the first Chinese food we've seen so far. We decided to go ahead and order our staple Chinese food so that we could compare it to what we usually ate in Philadelphia -- roast pork lo mein for him and chicken fried rice (with no onions) for me.
Boyfriend mostly enjoyed his lo mein. He said it was a little less crunchy than what he was used to, and the sauce was a little sweeter, which he wasn't a fan of. Slightly greasy, but that's what we were used to from our Philadelphia favorite, so it could easily be overlooked.
My chicken fried rice wasn't really much to write home about, I'm afraid. It was slightly less greasy than I was used to, so yay there. But it was really bland. Since I requested no onions, all it was was rice, chicken and bean sprouts (although, since bean sprouts are an absolute must for me in fried rice, I was very happy to find them there). I doctored it with soy sauce and garlic salt, and that helped somewhat.. but it was just very uniform and boring. No real flavor anywhere.
This place will do if we've got a crazy craving for Chinese and can't find it elsewhere, but otherwise I believe we'll continue looking.
