| - When you're starving, everything tastes great! Right? Wrong! I really wanted to have an amazing, satisfying Chinese "go-to" within minutes of my house but China AAA didn't "bring it!". We were a family of 6 tonight, we ordered kung pao chicken, chicken fried rice, lemon chicken, chow mein, potstickers and won ton soup.
The good: won ton soup, kung pao chicken and chicken fried rice.
The meh: chow mien
The bad: pot stickers
The ugly: lemon chicken
I'll start with the good... The wonton soup had great flavour, lots of vegetables, nice large juicy pieces of shrimp and meat, the kung pao chicken was very flavourful, had lots of fresh vegetables and peanuts (YUM) and with just enough heat that my kids didn't gag. The chicken fried rice was also very tasty and had a decent amount of chicken and mixed vegetables without being too greasy, it's hard to go wrong with chicken fried rice IMO. The meh, you know, the chow mien was just ok, a decent filler, but thats it....Now for the bad... I did not like texture of the potstickers they were wrinkly, charred and stick to your teeth gummy. And now for the ugly...the lemon chicken was breaded and pounded flat, reminiscent of school lunchroom chicken. I was looking for shape and texture and it wasn't there. There is an offer for free egg rolls with your order, Im not positive but I believe the minimum amount is $25, but they won't give it to you unless you ask for it...
The service was just average. Bottom line: the wonton soup, kung pao chicken and chicken fried rice were good enough to get again so I will be back for those. The service and staff were fair, no smiles, just doing the job.
