. "First off, the good parts. The food was hot, portions were large, and the food (for valley chinese food) was great. We had a the beef and broccoli dinner and the spicy garlic broccoli dinner. The lo mein didn't taste burnt like it does at some many other valley chinese restaurants. The egg drop soup was the best we've had out here and didn't have weird vegetables swimming in it - in particular the broth was neither goopy nor runny, it was just right. The garlic broccoli has a huge garlic punch which is what we've been looking for ever since we moved out west. The beef and broccoli had a nice brown sauce that wasn't gelatinous/gummy like we've run across out west. The puffs did not have crab but I think they were just advertised as cheese puffs - oh, they were good too, the cheese was actually melted inside for a change. \nWhat keeps it for being a 5 star review for me? The egg rolls, although being similar to the style i'm used to back east and avoiding that mushy filling so many places carry out here, had an odd taste to them. I think they add nutmeg or something similar to the cabbage mixture inside. I didn't mind it too much but the wife didn't like it at all - it was a bizarre taste (like i had eaten a bite of pumpkin pie beforehand and had the aftertaste on my mouth still). The other problem was that at first it seemed like we were intruding upon their \"down time\". We arrived in that \"in-between\" hour where it's after lunch but before dinner and the staff seriously didn't seem too pleased we were in there. They were more friendly at the end of the meal but it was a bizarre feeling to say the least initially. \nAnyway, overall, probably our go-to dine-in option in the valley (we go to Lim's if we want buffet style). Please give them a try!"^^ . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . "4"^^ . . . "2015-09-07T00:00:00"^^ .
