I always judge a Chinese restaurant by the quality of their fried chicken... odd, I know. But in my experience it's a good indicator how their food is in general.
The fried chicken wings were moist and crispy, but was lacking in overall flavor. The size of the wings were about medium sized.
Crab rangoons were over-fried and rubbery. The filling was non-existent to nondescript. One of my roommates thinks the "crab" was too old.
Chicken lo mein was oddly bland and dry. Edible, but not something we really wanted to go back to if we weren't already hungry.
Same with the beef mei fun. Bland and dry.
The boneless spare ribs and fried donuts were good. Flavorful and exactly the texture we expect.
Portion sizes were large, served in those white rectangular plastic containers.
We ordered delivery since it was raining and none of us really wanted to leave the apartment. It was prompt and the delivery person was wet, but courteous.
Overall, not bad, but I think I'm going to stick with Yum Yum Asian Cafe since they deliver too and their quality of...
Read moreI chose this place because of it's rating. Sadly, I was very disappointed. I was very hungry so I settled on General Tsao's combination with pork egg roll and fried rice. The egg roll was nice and crispy but no pork to be found. The texture of the chicken was weird. Not sure what the breading was but I found it too thick for my liking. The sauce was delicious and the broccali was fresh and cooked just right. Let's talk about the rice. Usually a combo dish comes with pork fried rice. There was no pork and since I'm not a fan of peas and carrots the rice had only onions in it. No eggs, no pork, no scallions and no BEAN SPROUTS! Not sure why but it was as tasteless as shoe leather. I ordered some chicken wings too. They were mainly salty nothing to rave about except for the shape. Never saw wings that looked like that. I'm a New Yorker. We have 3 major China towns in 3 boroughs. I've been to San Francisco China town and had Chinese food in other major cities. I have yet to find a good take out Chinese spot here in this area. For me,...
Read moreMETAL IN FOOD!!! Not sure how this has 4 stars, people must not know what good flavor is. This is definitely one of the worst Chinese take-outs I've ever had. A group of coworkers and I ordered from here, all different dishes. We waited 1 hour for our food to arrive. And one of my coworkers found a piece of metal in her food!!!! The general consensus was "never ordering from there again!". The chicken had a weird texture as if it had been boiled prior to being doused in the bland sauces (bourbon, orange, and traditional chicken & veggies sauce). In one of the dishes, you could tell the chicken was not even cooked with the sauce, rather it was plated with the rice and the sauce poured on top. The orange chicken was very tough and overcooked, hard to chew! The rice and vegetables were also very bland with almost a metallic taste to it. Needless to say, none of us finished our meals. We are never ordering...
