This place was a last minute decision to fulfill my craving for honey walnut shrimp, one of my favorite Chinese food entrees. I was actually on my way to a different establishment when I found this place.
When I arrived I was a tad skeptical. The place was empty and it literally looked like there was no one inside. Had it not been for the bright "Open" sign in the window, I would have put the car in reverse and left immediately. I walked inside to find the cashier sitting at one of the tables, dabbling on her laptop. She was very prompt and got up quickly to greet me. She handed me the menu and after a quick page through, I ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp ($9.95).
It didn't take long for my order to come out (standard Chinese food 10 minutes). I waited patiently and surveyed the establishment. I had to give this place only 3 stars based mainly on my surroundings. The table was a little sticky and the lighting was terrible. I don't think it would be an ideal place to eat, maybe just take out. When my food came out, I thanked her and headed home to try out their version of the tasty seafood dish.
The portion of the dish was a good size and it was pretty good. It was definitely sweet like all the other Chinese places I've been to, but this place added a different touch to it. When I bit into a shrimp, not only was it sweet, I also tasted a hint of lemon. It was such a nice change especially with a dish like Honey Walnut Shrimp. Usually I can eat a handful of the dish and get sick of it because it's overly sweet and too creamy. The lemon in this dish offset the sweetness and it wasn't overwhelming. My only gripe was that the walnuts weren't candied. I enjoy candied walnuts with my Honey Walnut Shrimp because they tend to be crunchier and it serves as a kind of "after the meal dessert."
If I was in the area again, I would definitely try another one of their dishes to make sure I didn't just get lucky and pick the one delicious entree. Dining in? Not so much. Take out? Without question.
