Read MoreWe have been visiting Chinese restaurants near our house to compare them. This was the third one we visited.
We ordered General Tso's chicken, shrimp lo mein, the house special bean curd, and one order of steamed dumplings. That came with white rice as well.
The General Tso's chicken was intriguing. It wasn't breaded (or the breading was extremely thin) but the sauce was thick and flavorful. They also used dark instead of white meat, which actually resulted in juicier chicken rather than dried out chicken. It was also a bit on the spicy side (which is generally okay for me but not for my wife, who doesn't like spicy at all). Even though it was different from what I'm used to, I liked it and would give the General Tso's chicken a 4 out of 5.
The shrimp lo mein was also pretty good. The shrimp could have been marinated to give it more flavor, but the noodles had a nice, strong flavor to them. Also a 4 out of 5.
The house special bean curd was okay. It was heavy on onions and peppers that were bit on the crunchy side. The tofu wasn't particularly flavorful. The sauce was fairly flavorful but it was also rather spicy, which we were not expecting. Since that was for my wife, it didn't turn out all that well - she doesn't do spicy. So, if you're ordering this and don't want spicy, you should let them know. A 2.5 out of 5.
Finally, the dumplings were pretty good. They were larger than a lot of the dumplings we've tried and they actually had a fair amount of flavor - heavier on the ginger, but you could still taste the pork in them. The came with a nice, sweet dipping sauce as well. As dumplings go, these were quite good - maybe a 4.5 out of 5.
The store itself is definitely what you'd call a "hole-in-the-wall." It's part of a strip mall. Inside, it's very small and not the most up to date. But the service was extremely fast (15 minutes from when I called to when I picked up the order) and, as noted above, the food was on the good side. It's not as good as our regular place, but my son and I really liked it (my wife was less impressed).
Finally, price-wise, because we ordered large portions, this was a bit more expensive than we're used to, but it wasn't crazy expensive. We paid about $45 for everything.
