Went back a few more times to try out the lunch specials. Sauteed shrimp and chicken (good) and chicken with blackbean sauce (not so good - very light), hot and sour soup (not so good - pretty mild), and egg drop soup (ok - again, pretty mild). In the end, we'll keep coming for the general tso's chicken as well as their fried rice - both still terrific!
We heard about this place from our son's friend who lives nearby. In these tough times, I figured it's nice to spread the love across the local family run places. We ordered our standard dishes: General Tso's chicken, mushu pork, steamed vegetables with chicken, eggroll, and because they offered free pork fried rice or soda, we picked the fried rice. General's chicken was a bit of a letdown. Normally, I expect the sauce to be kind of thick and the chicken, when freshly made, is still piping hot and crispy despite the sauce. But the sauce here was a little thin and the chicken was kind of mushy. The mushu pork was the unremarkably good kind accompanied by the thin wrapper and a small thing of hoisin sauce. Hard to get wrong and thankfully, they didn't. Similarly, the steamed veg and chicken was as expected. My son reported the eggroll as satisfyingly crunchy and tasty. The surprising winner was the free pork fried rice. It had that wok-hay flavor that you just can't replicate at home. It was full of small but meaty pork chunks (and not all gristly). I'm definitely going to try the house special fried rice next time. I hear the Sinagpore maifun is pretty good there. Looks like we'll...
Read moreDisgusting . DO NOT ORDER - last night we ordered food 45 minutes prior to closing , the delivery driver brought the wrong food, we realized in about 5-10 minutes & called him back.
He returned & took the food (not ours) and then requested the paper , with the receipt meaning he brought that food to the next people , after it was in my hands (I opened 1 container of rice without realizing and another to confirm it wasn’t my order) , the restaurant was closed he couldn’t replace the food. The next person got there order that was already in my house.
The food I received : one container completely opened & spilled into the bag (was my food in someone else’s house too??) I usually order from here but this was disgusting , mushy & undercooked. Will be contacting appropriate resources , will not order from here again. Upon contacting management I was belittled and offered a “half credit” why would I wanna eat from here again? , I’ll...
