Chinese Kitchen — Restaurant in Odessa

Bro when I tell you it was life changing it was. I was sobbing after the worst moment of my life, failing at everything. And then I come upon this little place, unassuming but I could down some crab rangoons. I walk in the atmosphere was sweet, family like and homey, I order the pan fried noodles and crab rangoons the gentleman who took my order was kind he helped me decide what I would want. I get my drink, orange fanta of course, then boom my food was hot and ready faster than little ceasers pizza. Then I took my first bite...woah...I've never felt love like I did that day, the flavors gave me a new found love of food, I downed my noodles marginally saving room for the crab rangoons, oh ohhhhhh little did I know, the noodles were just a starter... the crab rangoons were crispy with the most palatable and delectable pockets of love. I fell in love harder, my wedding day may never compete with the love I felt here. I graciously scarfed down the scrumptious meal, loving life again. My worst day ever became the day I learned love. I come back often, excited for my next meal. I try things often, but I always come back to pan fried noodles and always crab rangoons...those things will forever have a special place in my heart...whatever they make with them...immaculate. I love this place, I'll never forget the day I went the first time, the day I...

Kung Pao chicken ordered as an Entree not lunch special. Wow, just extremely poor quality, completely wrong ingredients as to what the dish is supposed to contain. The chicken was ground or shredded just tiny bits and pieces the sauce was essentially a brown soy sauce gravy with a few sichzuan dry fried chili peppers tossed in. Accompanied by the Lo Mein it was all pathetic and disappointing.

I've traveled the US (Eaten in every Chinatown in major metropolitan cities and probably hundreds of Chinese restaurants around the states) add the world and quite extensive travels throughout Asia. At the very best this cook is a poor Cantonese (Guangdong) style cook (old school bland chop suey or egg foo yung slinger)

Sorry to sound negative but if you know quality Chinese provincial cooking this "ain't" the place for you. If you've got a hankering for cheap mediocre to poor bland uninspired bulk, ya this is the place to dine.

For better value and authentic taste (As it gets for West Texas), I'd suggest Little Hunan in Midland, or, the Noodle House in Volcano as a second best behind them.

Good luck with your experience here, this experience was a definite a "not...

Umm if you want authentic Chinese food or even good Chinese food…. Direct your business to Buffet King. It’s way more flavourful and smells way better. The taste of the food is bland and old. Thank goodness I only got 1 plate of food to test it out, first. I was over charged but the people say it’ll only charge what it shows on “their” end. It was just a couple dollars but in this economy… every penny counts. Specially if the food was terrible. I took two bites of at 12$ plate and threw the rest away. I can’t imagine how long they store the food because the taste all around every item I got was old. Like the food been cooked and cooled and cooked again. Very...
