| - I give this place 3.5. Definitely not as good as chinese food in CA.
Me and my friends came here yesterday for a Chinese New Year dinner at around 6pm. It was quite busy already, which was expected since it was CNY. However, they were still able to sit us down right when we got in. I was really excited because when you see so many Chinese/ Asians there, you know this place is pretty decent and non-Americanized.
We ordered:
Wor Wonton Soup- it was good soup, but the meat in the Wontons didn't taste that fresh
Chinese broccoli with hoisin sauce- Very good. Didn't overcook it, but this is something kinda hard to mess up.
Peking duck- AMAZING. The flavor of the duck was very good and the skin was crispy. Loved the shrimp chips at the bottom. The bread was good. It was hot and fresh. Also, it wasn't too sticky either. It had a nice texture. (FYI: don't expect to get a whole duck as the point of this dish is to put the crispy duck skin in the bread)
Salted pepper fried fish- This dish wasn't as good as I expected. When I ate it, the fish was only lukewarm. The flavor was pretty good though.
Seafood and fried tofu hot pot- It had nice flavor and a lot of seafood and tofu. It would have been nice to have more vegetables though.
Peking Pork Chop: The sauce had a good flavor, but again the meat tasted old, not fresh, and lukewarm.
Overall, the best tasting dishes were the chinese broccoli and the peking duck. The service was slightly slow, but I gave them some slack because it was CNY and there were only 3 people working. I would have given this a 3, but since this was CNY and this is AZ, I lowered my standards a little and give them a 3.5.
