This is the only Chinese place we tried while in the area, but we went here a few times. It was real close to our Airbnb, so it was our go-to for filling in gaps for meals. A place called "Asian Restaurant", no online presence, cash-only, located smack dab in the middle of a very Mexican area. But man, everything we got was so good.
We went there once for dinner, and got just fried rice or lo mein a few times. The fried rice was always plain as a side, but had a great taste and partnered well with the other food we got. Like the lo mein, it also made a great snack or small meal during the day. I'd say the lo mein is in my top 3 from any Chinese takeout I've had. The mushrooms, the stripped pork and cabbage, all the other meats were in great balance.
For the meal day, we got Kung Pao chicken and the Seafood Combo Hunan Style. The Kung Pao chicken was drowning in sauce. The taste was on point, but it was not spicy at all, which was a little disappointing. The seafood combo was my favorite. They used jumbo shrimp, which tasted fresh. I usually eventually pick out the fake crab meat in meals like this, but they kept it subtle and it wasn't bad. The sauce was really good, and they weren't stingy with the broccoli which really mopped it up. This meal wouldn't have been half as good without the fried rice.
If you follow Google's links to their menu, it'll take you to the wrong one. The first time we called this place we were ready to order sushi and all kinds of stuff. The lady on the phone thought I was crazy, and we eventually put together that I'm looking at an imposter menu (with their phone number on it!) Use the picture posted on Yelp for their menu.
I'll miss this place. read more
