We got the Dinner for Two and added on an extra side dish. Their chicken balls were like eating chopped and formed little squares of spongey, dried-out greyish gristle, encased in tennis-ball-sized spheres of sponge-like breading, soaked sodden in a corn syrup and ketchup blend. Fried rice was simply and precisely that. Rice. It had been fried. Nothing more, nothing less. Their so- called Chow Mein (actually chop suey) was basically beansprouts in a tepid dishwater. I found a single bit of the stem end of an onion in it. I optimistically got the Cantonese Chow Mein as an extra add-on. Having had this many times other places; I was expecting thin, chewy noodles that have been fried until crispy on the outside, topped with assorted seafood, bbq pork slices and vegetable. What arrived in a tinfoil loaf pan was a solid gelatinous brick of thick, overcooked rubbery pasta encased in beef jelly. There were some canned-looking mushrooms, bok choy, and a few big under-cooked chunks of green pepper piled atop it. It unmolded from the container in a solid block and plopped out onto a plate with a jiggle and a horrible sucking, squelching sound similar to pulling a stuck rainboot out of deep mud. The whole experience was so surreal and weirdly obscene that I couldn't bring myself to try any. It was my birthday. My dear old dad had mailed me a card with fifty dollars inside to "treat myself" to a special dinner. What a sad, sad waste. Even the fortune cookie was stale.

Tai Pan China Cafe in Mattawa is one of these places. We always like to start with a Won Ton soup. It seems to be the best measure of how much a restaurant puts into their cooking. Called Wong Ton soup at Tai Pan you will get a piping hot bowl of delicious broth with about four won tons. It is an obviously home made soup. With lots of chopped green onion and special ingredient chopped lettuce. This soup pulled up the rating of everything else. We also each had an egg roll, and shared a BBQ Pork fried rice, Hunan Beef and General Tao Chicken. We were asked if we wanted medium heat or hot. My wife answered medium. We should have ordered hot, it was a little bland for our tastes. But they were both good with lots of meat in each dish. The service was excellent, the woman serving us was in constant motion. They were making a lot of take out orders (on a Sunday night). The restaurant is old and worn but overall seemed pretty clean. We will certainly stop for this won ton soup again next time through Mattawa.

The food was good and there was a lot of selection at the buffet. The Chicken fried rice was cold but every thing else was hot or reasonably warm and fresh. This is not a licensed restaurant so no Chinese beer (which would have been nice). I really enjoyed the garlic spare ribs which were very meaty and favourable. My pet peeve in Chinese food is the spare ribs are often not meaty. I really enjoyed the lemon chicken too but really everything was very good. They kind of lack in the dessert area but heck once you've visited the buffet a few times you don't have room for dessert anyway. We'll go again.
