| - My husband and I went there the other day for lunch because of all the good reviews. I was craving fish with black bean sauce and Stanley C. wrote a good review on this dish. So I ordered the fish and my husband ordered the Egg Foo Young. Let me tell you, this was the worst Chinese food I have ever had! We're use to driving to Chinatown for our favorite Chinese dishes. On this particular day, we weren't in the mood to drive so I looked up reviews on Yelp for a restaurant close by. First off, it seemed like they use the same basic sauce for both dishes, with black beans in the fish dish. Anyway, the fish they used in this dish was haddock (I asked the waiter because I couldn't believe the chewiness of the fish). Haddock is best served deep fried (such as in McDonald's Filet o Fish). If not cooked properly, it will become chewy. This fish is not meant to be stir fried. I should have asked what kind of fish they used in this dish before ordering, but I assumed that their cook (notice I didn't say "chef") would already know the best fish for stir fry. OK, so on to the Egg Foo Young. My husband thought that they were premade earlier, then frozen, because they were ice cold in the center and hot on the edges. The sauce poured over it was hot but it was not hot enough to penetrate the center of the egg foo young. It's not like this restaurant was packed so they have to prepare their food in advance. The only people in the restaurant when we went was my husband and I. The place was entirely empty, except for the one guy who picked up a take out. We only took a few bites of our meal and left. Didn't even bother to pack the rest to go. The waiter was nice and for this I am giving 1 star, besides, that is the minimum you can rate on Yelp.
