I used to joke about this place when I was in high school because a classmate worked here and this place had a funny name. I wish I hadn't because it meant I missed eating here for many years.
My wife likes to watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network and this restaurant was featured on the program a few years ago and we liked what we saw. We tried it out, liked it and have been going ever since. There is even an autographed poster of Guy Fieri on the wall but it seems quite a few people dislike him...
There are plenty of options to choose from and what's great is that you can get samples before you order. I tried the Jerk chicken and it was possibly the spiciest thing I have ever tasted and was glad I didn't order it. Instead I found something I really do like and that's the Jade Red Chicken. I get it on plain fried rice with a Chile Relleno and it's mighty tasty. They also give you a freshly baked cookie although you don't usually give you an option of what kind. More often than not it's a snickerdoodle.
I've also picked it up to go on several occasions and I live about 20 minutes away and the food is still hot by the time I get home.
The location itself seems to have grown a bit, taking over the adjacent storefronts to expand their dining room. This place is frequently busy so this was a good move. Unfortunately it's also a hole in the wall where you sit at cheap tables and chairs and sometimes the staff doesn't always get around to cleaning the tables after someone else used them. My wife doesn't care for eating in the dining room for this very reason and she prefers to get it to go.
There used to be a location on the southeast corner of Dobson and Chandler Boulevard in Chandler but it was way in the back of a strip mall hidden behind another strip mall and few people knew about it. That location was never busy so I'm not surprised it closed.
It may seem seem strange to mix Chinese and Mexican cuisine but it works. In the case what I order, it is definitely different to eat cheese with Chinese food but I like it. This place was doing fusion before it became popular and had become an institution here in Phoenix.
