This restaurant has been converted to be take out only. There is a plexiglass partition that separates staff from customers which is a little hard to understand questions through, but I appreciate the safety measure. They have a few chairs outside for you to sit while you wait for your order, which was nice.
I went at about 2pm on a Friday and found no line. I ordered the spare ribs lunch combo and was asked if I wanted boneless or with bone (the plexiglass made me ask “what?” a couple times before connected and got the boneless spare ribs rung in. That comes with rice (I got fried rice) and soup (I got wonton soup.) It was unclear if it came with an egg roll based on other reviews or the menu (dinner plates do but no soup, lunch doesn’t mention egg rolls.) So I specifically asked for one and also ordered a krab Rangoon appetizer. We passed credit card and receipt through a little drawer in the partition (I was shown itemized receipt briefly against the glass but only received a copy to sign and guest copy, no big deal but this is part of why I still don’t know if the egg roll was included. 😂🤷♀️) I was told it would be ten minutes and I sat down outside to wait. Another customer ordered after me and was told five minutes (very simple order.) They got their food and then mine was called, MAYBE I waited 5 minutes but I was already chowing down and backing out of my parking spot before my 10 minute timer went off.
The food;
Spare ribs - I actually have never ordered this before so I can’t compare it, but they hit the spot. Large portion, very tasty. A few fatty spots but cooked so I was not at all tempted to try to eat around that.
Fried rice - very standard version, nothing spectacular. Probably less greasy than a Panda Express style, but not main course worthy like some sit down spots.
Egg roll - again pretty standard. Cooked nicely, good complement to the meal, not one I would seek out for a craving but good.
Krab Rangoon - quite good actually. The first few were sooo hot still I was puffing air through it, but so crispy and the filling is just a little sweet you don’t really need a sauce. They got a little chewy as they cooled but that didn’t slow me down. Would definitely order again.
Overall impression: very good staple, pretty consistent across my dishes, would be happy to try other menu items in the future. And you really couldn’t beat the wait time for a late lunch, definitely faster than the drive through across the street and far more satisfying. I have enough left overs for another meal easily too.
