My first visit here was very enjoyable. I popped in for a take out lunch special and although the place was almost at capacity, I was out the door in 5 minutes with lunch in hand.
I opted for the General Tao lunch special which came with plain rice, a Hot & Sour soup (I think that's what it was) and a spring roll for $8.95. With a pop, the whole thing came out to $12.
The portions are very fair for that price and the meal was very enjoyable.
The General Tao Chicken had a very different sauce than I am used to. It was dark, and soy based, sweet with some whole chilies, green pepper and onion slices within. And there was plenty of it, enough for every grain of rice to get some. To me, it was reminiscent of a black peanut sauce usually served with beef. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious! The soup was good and piping hot. The spring roll was a spring roll.
Although anyone with a peanut allergy should be wary going into a "Thai" resto, even this Chinese dish had a peanutty flavour. Be sure before you order.
I've taken the liberty of posting the lunch special menu again as some of the photos posted here have far-outdated prices.
The interior of the place is clean, modern and inviting. That's why I'm going to suggest coming here next week for a business luncheon. I have their basil beef in my crosshairs already. Unless the General insists again.
