Cantonese Chinese food like I remember from the 60’s. I been passing this establishment for over 50 years and always wondered how the food was. It wasn’t until recently I decided to give it a try after hearing a food critic on the radio mention this place as one to try. First, let me say, I’ve been to every notable Chinese restaurant from Kenner to New Orleans for over 50 years and can say I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food is here. I will say it’s above average for flavor, quality, quantity and service. Here you can get a combination dinner for under $14.00 that includes soup, shrimp fried rice, egg roll and entree. The hot and sour soup was the best I have ever eaten. Egg rolls are average, however, the fried rice and entrees are above average. Huge entree portions that accompany the combination plates that are as large as the entree if ordered alone. The Kung Pao chicken was excellent and the sauce was very flavorful and sufficient as were the fresh veggies that dressed the dish. I have had the shrimp and lobster sauce and the dish brought me back to the days where you could find the way that Cantonese food is supposed to be made. I just wish I would have tried this place years ago- as for now- it’s my go-to place for...
Read moreI usually don't leave bad reviews.....I'm so confused why this place has such good reviews. Ordered the general chicken combo, and if you have general tso's in mind when ordering then definitely DONT order the general chicken. I only order general tso's at every Chinese restaurant I go to and this was not general tsos. It was some kind of chicken filet (looked like a boneless thigh maybe?) Sliced with breading on top doused in some kind of sweet and sour sauce. My husband got orange chicken and he said it wasn't bad. Shrimp fried rice was good. The lo mein tasted like it was just sitting in water. They also don't tell you until giving your food that the to go combo does not come with soup. The guy inside was not having it when trying to show him what their website says or that my order was possibly wrong. Just a strange experience. Not sure if they gave me someone else's...
Read moreOrdered three orders for pick up totaling $40 ..Very expensive! Would not have mattered, if it were good, but it wasn't. I purchased the Moo Goo Gai Pan, Chicken Lo Mein, and General Chicken. The Moo Goo Gai Pan and Chicken Lo Mein were both full of water not sauce and were bland (no seasoning) with over cooked vegetables and mushy noodles and white rice. The General Chicken and shrimp fried rice were burnt and the rice was full of miniature frozen Chinese shrimp that were chewy and hard. I called the restaurant to express my disappointment, to a lady who answered the phone, and her only reply to me was " We cook good food ... you not know what you talking about!". So, the moral of the story is, if you have a problem with your meal ... you can bet they won't listen to your complaint nor fix it! IT WAS BY FAR THE WORST CHINESE FOOD I AND MY FAMILY HAVE...
