A little hole in the wall place. Parking kinda sucked with a full size truck, but we made it work. Walking in, a small place, old looking, but clean. Waitress was super nice. Had booster seats and high chairs for kids, but it is kinda cramped space. Got our menus, and decided on the dinner combos, potstickers, and a side of white rice. Food came out quickly. Start was what appeared to be egg flower soup. Hubby loved it, MIL ate it but wasn't thrilled, not enough egg filler outside of the broth for me. Next we all just stared at the potstickers. It looked as if they were deep fried on two of the three sides, instead of the usual fried while being steamed which gives the crunch to the bottom only. Gave them a try, flavor was good, but texture of the dough was off from what we are used to. As our dinner plates came out, wow, so much food! We dove in. I have to say, best chow mein I have found. Chicken fried rice was so so. Too salty for me. I had the sweet and sour chicken, it was swimming in sauce. The breading was not crunchy, almost like it had been sitting in the sauce for a while. Good flavor to the sauce. Hubby tried the sweet and sour shrimp. Again, drenched in sauce. He would puck up a piece and try to scrape sauce off so he could taste the shrimp. He said it was okay, but won't try it again. He loved the fried rice and chow mein. MIL had the Happy Family. She siad besides again, being drenched in sauce, flavor was good. She didn't like the rice, said too salty, but said best chow mein she's had. Now, I had ordered the white rice for my LO. She's 15mo. We gave her some with a little of the soup. She liked it, ate all we mixed. But, when we went back to get another small scoop of rice out of the serving bowl for her, it had turned rock hard. We all tried to get some, and gave up. You could shove the spoon in, but couldn't bring just a small bit up, just the whole clump of what was in the bowl. So needless to say, she got a squeeze pouch on the way home to finish off her meal.
Our Waitress was very attentive and nice. She seemed to be the only one, during dinner rush, at one point, 24 patrons and she was running ragged, but kept a smile on her face and made sure to always ask if you needed anything, or how things were going.
All in all worth trying, might try again down the road and ask for less sauce and see how that works out. read more
