This place is basically Hong Kong 99 renovated and renamed. They say it isn't, but the food is the exact same as it was at Hong Kong 99. As the saying goes, you can polish a turd, but it's still sh*t.
The renovations are nice, and I do like that when you arrive for take out or dining-in they bring out a tray of these little white rice snacks. There was a couple dining-in and the food they were served looked well presented, so I had high hopes for my takeout food.
Unfortunately, it was the same sh*t they use to serve, same bad taste, same expensive prices to pay for garbage. I tried the Duck for my first experience, but it came in a white container with tons of grease...definitely was not appetizing. The second time, I tried the sweet and sour pork with extra spicy sauce. The sweet and sour sauce was literally congealed which made the pork soggy and soft...it was like a messy goop in my mouth...yuck.
I've tried some of the side items as well, the egg rolls are pretty big, not a traditional egg roll, but it's semi-decent aside from all the grease. My husband likes this place for the chicken fried rice, but in my opinion it's the driest unseasoned fried rice I've ever tasted. I can almost guarantee you the only reason people keep coming back is because it's the closest thing to Chinese food in Baumholder vicinity. Honestly, Manchu Wok is way better than this place...and that's saying a lot. read more
