Picked up take out from here b/c we had yet to pitch tents and get a fire going at Goodenow Forest Preserve. Kids were hungry after a long drive, and I could feel a catastrophe potentially brewing. We called in an order, got multiple beef and chicken dishes, and were all pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste (orange chicken, some other chicken with broccoli, and mongolian beef). The portion sizes and total price were shocking—absolutely huge* and a total steal compared to prices in the city. This isn't going to win some James Beard awards nor is it better than your favorite place in China town, but for what it is (in the middle of nowhere, no less—sorry Beecher folk), it was fantastic.

The food has always been good, but not this time. The Szechuan chicken was bland, no seasoning. Tasted boiled. The sauce was the same. Watery with little to no flavor or spice. The teriyaki beef was very good. Just need more sauce. . I had to pan fry everything and add spice to get any flavor. Please do better. We drive extra to come to...
