"This is my new favorite chinese place.\n\nMy partner and I were driving around, waiting to meet up with friends to go to the Peoria Art Exhibition and just happened to see this place and stopped in to have lunch.\n\nMy experience with chinese food is that the food has a lot of potential and most places just don't put the effort into that potential which makes the dish into a slimy bland piece of blah.\n\nSo, going into this little shop, I had my reservations, but I'll eat just about anything as long as it is classified \"human food\", even if it might taste bad.\n\nI was HIGHLY surprised. \n\nStarted off with some egg drop soup... excellent. That one tends to be slimy and texturally yucky in most places I've been to, but this one was done pretty well.\n\nI got the Mixed Veggies in white wine sauce with Shrimp and Scallops lunch special. It comes with fried rice and a little lettuce salad that has a ginger vinagrette dressing on it. \n\nAnd it was SO GOOD. I was totally expecting the bland blah that I usually get, but this actually had taste! (like that Campbells soup commercial... that's the taste of TASTE. lol)\n\nThe waitress was nice... it was cold when we walked in and they fixed the air.\n\nThe front of the store is more tables, the rear around the corner is booths.\n\nI definitely recommend. When I'm in the mood for chinese, this is the place I'll be going."^^ . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
