| - I FINALLY had a chance to try this place out after hunting for delivery Chinese food all day on Sunday without any success -- typical Phoenix -- the one place my gf and I found was actually CLOSED on Sundays. Weak.
Anyway, this place was worth getting out of the house for on a rainy Sunday, and since its only a few blocks from our place, it was a nice excursion.
We ordered the Beef & Broccoli, the Kung Pao Vegetables, the Sweet & Sour Pork, Crab Puffs, and all of that came with rice. The total was about $30. Not a bad value considering we ended up eating that as two meals between two people. Chinese food is good that way.
So, the quality was average-to-slightly-above-average. It hit the spot as hangover food, and i have to say that the Kung Pao Veggies were DELICIOUS as they were diced up and mixed with almonds. Yum.
The Beef and Broc was pretty standard, but really, thats all i ask of that dish. Its pretty undemanding and it does the job. They did hold out on any extra beef though -- i thought more would have improved the dish.
The Sweet and Sour pork was pretty below average, as their fried dough was too thick and the quality of pork was below par.
Crab puffs were solid and my dog destroyed the steamed rice i put in her bowl, so in her opinion that rice was quality.
Overall, i like how its a local institution, convenient (i ordered, picked up, and was eating in under 30 mins), their packaging was nice, and the service was class.
I'll look here next time dining Chinese in DT.
