The most flavorless Chinese food my husband and I have ever eaten. It's a small place with only 2-3 tables. You order at the counter and select drinks from a beverage fridge.
I ordered Szechuan beef. There was NOTHING Szechuan about it. It was flat squares of beef that look like they were steamed and tossed with some veggies. Seriously, not at all like a real Szechuan dish with strips of beef in a flavorful sauce with Szechuan peppercorns and some serious heat. I even ordered it extra hot and there was ABSOLUTELY NO HEAT.
Hubby ordered the chicken with garlic sauce. Barely tasted like garlic.
Both entrees were gummy and lacking almost any flavor. I left most of my dish uneaten. It was hard to eat flavorless food, but it got worse.
After several bites, I asked my husband to request come hot chili oil. He came back with a small plastic container. I added some to my dish and, I kid you not, it wasn't that spicy. So, I added more, this time the pepper flakes and seeds with the oil. It added just a tiny bit of spice.
Unfortunately, the pepper seeds in the hot chili oil ended up tasting like mold when I bit into them. Ending my meal. It was disgusting. When I bit the first seed, I thought it was an anomaly. I tried biting the other seeds and they ALL tasted like mold. Literally made me gag, it was that bad.
Into the trash. Very, very rarely do I throw away food like this but it was not worth eating due to the lack of any flavor and I was worried about the mold. read more
