Toni and I live by this place in the same shopping center and we always passed by this place wondering what the inside would look like. Granted, the outside wasn't much to look at with just Grand China and the signs in Chinese that I assume said the same thing.
Toni and I rolled up expecting nothing but somewhat surprised that the inside was shooting for a more clssic style Chinese restaurant than new age. Everything visually screamed no frills just traditional and for some, it would be charming. We definitely enjoyed it but some might find it a bit bland when looking for a new place to eat.
We ordered the peppered steak and I can't remember the name of Toni's dish with chicken but I remember it was part of their lunch special combo which looked delicious and thanks to Toni's generosity, confirmed that it was was some of the tastiest softest noodles on my list. I'm not sure if chicken skin is something normal for a Chinese dish but Toni didn't want to eat it but I tore it up as being Latino, pork skin being a part of our balanced breakfast.
The peppered beef was exquisite and the vegetables were fresh and not at all soggy with the right amount of crunch/firmness of well cooked greens and carrots. The sauce made the dish stand out coupled with the beef. Some might find it a bit too peppery but with a name like Peppered beep, it's best to be prepared for some spice.
All and all, Grand China is a locals go to for good authentic Chinese food at a fair price without the fast food feel of a panda shop or questionable quality. The staff could use some smiles to drive up the experience but the service never faultered when it came down to actual table service if that makes sense.
We gave the Grand China a 4 out of 5 stars. Hope to go back and try yet another dish in...
Read moreThis is one of my favorite Chinese places in town. The people are very nice in here and every time I go, they never disappoint. My go to dish is the Coconut Chicken with extra chicken. This time we went we got the house chow mein, Szechuan pork and the coconut chicken. Starting off with the coconut chicken, it is very crispy on the outside and the chicken is very juicy. The coconut sauce they use has a nice light coconut taste that's not too overpowering and is just marvelous with the chicken itself. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is my go-to dish every time I come here. If I had to recommend one dish, I would say this one with extra chicken. Moving on to the house chow mein which is always a good noodle dish to go with. Packed with shrimp, pork, beef, it has lots of flavor. We always either go with this or the house fried rice which is equally as good. Moving on to the last dish we tried the Szechuan pork. It didn't have big pieces of pork, but it was very saucy, packed with spices and had that heat that you're looking for when you order it. This specific dish I would put over rice, which is probably what you're supposed to do because of the heavy sauce. By itself it's nothing too crazy but if you put it over the rice they give you with your other dish then it makes it that much better. I will definitely be back to get my coconut chicken sometime soon and if you are planning on going here I urge you to...
