I’m a millennial and saw mostly senior citizens here. That in itself describes the taste of the food here. Very traditional old-school Chinese food.
I had the General Tso. It was swimming in the sauce. The meat tasted fresh, but the sauce was overwhelming and super thick. It did not taste homemade rather containerized.
The egg drop soup was a pale color not yellow and vibrant like most places. It had corn in it. I love corn but not with my egg drop soup. Not an ideal combination. And not stated on the menu.
The egg rolls were very pale white. Not deep fried like other places, absolutely no crunch rather a soft roll. The inside was filled with cabbage only.
My husband got Chicken Lo Mein. It was extremely salty but dosed in soy sauce. We like our food seasoned but this was not a pleasant taste. It was extremely salty.
My husband also got some dumplings it started with and S. Again swimming in sauce. Very overwhelming.
None of the labeled spicy items were spicy at all.
We asked for chili oil and it was very gelatin like texture. Not spicy and very cold and jiggly.
The reason for the 3 stars is because the service was impeccable. Very good team work and our drinks always remained full at all times. The servers were helping each other and very attentive. They clearly have no control of the quality and recipes. Though, I did find them to be the silver lining in this experience. Sadly, I personally would never return. Pho Ben next door is our preferred spot to eat. Hope this helps anyone looking to have a...
Read moreMe and my partner were looking for some Asian food after shopping in first colony mall and came across this restaurant. It was around 8:30 when we came in and there were a couple of tables that were full. The front desk lady was welcoming, and the waitresses were respectful and attentive to our drinks which I appreciated! Also, this place has fountain drinks. I know it’s more of a norm when other Asian cuisine restaurants only offer canned sodas. My bf ordered the general Tso chicken and we both really liked it! From what I can tell, it was made with chicken breast. I ordered the Mongolian beef and I really liked it too. But bf claims it was a little salty, but honestly we both still enjoyed it. I also ordered the appetizer dumplings (can’t remember what they were called) and I wouldn’t recommend them. Not bc they weren’t good, but nothing to talk about. The only thing my bf didn’t like was the egg drop soup. He said it wasn’t very good. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the staff was nice :) We would both come again if we’re...
Read moreBeen eating at the Eldridge Panda Garden for years and I rate the 5 star. I was asked by some friends to join them for dinner last evening at the Highway 6 location and Williams Trace. I ordered the orange beef like always and came out in 10 min. It was thin, over cooked, tough as nails, and could barely cut it. I called the waitress and the chef over and said they would prepare another batch. It was just as bad as the first but did not complain such as did not want to embarrass my friends. It was the worst cut of beef I have ever had and the toughest orange beef in my whole lifetime. I had 2/3 of it boxed up telling my friends I was full from all the wontons. I came home and cut up a couple of pieces with a very sharp knife and fed one piece at a time to my dog. Will never go back to that restaurant. Very disappointed, it was almost like left over lunch buffet food fried again and some sauce...
