Served piping hot, very quickly (less than 10 minutes) and tastes really fresh. My husband had a combination plate of Sweet and Sour chicken, with veggie Lo Mein and an egg roll. The chicken wasn't what he expected - it was 8 huge pieces of what looks like chicken fingers with sweet and sour sauce on the side. But despite it not being what was expected, it tasted great. There is NO ambiance here. We ate at one of the 3 tables and watched them cook. lol. But I'd do it again!

Sushi-forward pan-Asian eatery right in the center of town on Main Street. Decent atmosphere (more…read morebistro yearnings than a "joint"), friendly service, and just-okay food if not getting sushi. First visit in a few years: -- Salt and Pepper Wings: Small, fried, seasoned, and unsauced, with jalapeños and such for assistance. Decent tenderness and moistness, but light on flavor without the jalapeño and a little bland despite the name. -- General Tso Wings: One fewer wing, but much larger ones, with a sweet, thick sauce, good crunch, and decent moisture underneath. No heat to counter the sweet, but that's the case for most General Gao or Tso these days. Still very solid. -- Teriyaki Salmon: Lunch special with choice of salad or soup, choice of Rangoons or gyoza, and choice of white or fried rice. The salmon itself was sensible of size, but dry inside and topped with a gloppy sweet sauce that helped the dryness but not the cause. The gyoza were small and most likely frozen. Overall, seems like going to an Olive Garden that happens to be serving Asian cuisine. I've been a few times before, with similar thoughts (and half the coworkers I've gone with agree, and half love it). Pleasant enough, and easy street parking, but I don't see myself rushing back. Maybe sushi is the way to go.

To compound this, a dish was served in a chipped plate (safety issue in addition to the esthetic aspect), while the Maki plate was worn out. When asked about the chipped plate, the response was "our plates need to be replaced, these are all we have" The quality of the food was very good. The quantity was very less (I have a small appetite)! The ambience is good. In all, the service and quality of the plates were more appropriate for a deli, not a restaurant at this price point.

Mixed bag with highs and lows. -- Hot and Sour Soup (on a lunch combo): Pleasing rendition, with many mushroom types, a just-thick-enough broth, and some mini bits of red pepper in addition to liquid heat. Above average. -- Magnolia Special Chicken Wings: Big plate of wings in a dark sauce combining sweet, heat, and a bit of sour, but not to be mistaken for sweet and sour. Outside, not much crispness. Inside, not much tenderness, and barely moist (forget juicy), but nice marinade flavor deep down. Above average to well above average, but previously elite. -- Pork Egg Foo Yong (on a lunch combo): Two naked patties/omelettes with thick brown gravy on the side. Exterior not crisp, but firm. Interior perfectly tender with a profusion of large chunked onions and tasty pork, and fairly fresh pork at that. Good flavor to the gravy-- served as a big bowl with no monkey dish or spoon. Near-elite. -- Pork Fried Rice (on a lunch combo): Fresh and nice texture but subtle of flavor and not old school style. Decent amount of pork. Rice-a-Roni flavor. Average to slightly above. (Yes, maybe slightly above. Rice-a-Roni has its place.) -- Chicken Fingers (on a lunch combo): Standard issue with the usual low meat-to-batter ratio. Nothing noteworthy on the positive or negative side. Average. Servicewise, I felt ignored the entire meal. Had to grab my own napkins off another table. Hoped for a chance at a water refill that came too late. Long wait for the check. Nothing rude, but not present, alert, or efficient.

One for the lap and at least 2 more to mop sweat from my head. The food was so perfectly spiced, peppery, tasty, with a lip tingling afterglow. This time? The napkin never left my lap and there was not even a bead of sweat on my brow. No lips tingling. This food was, in a word, boring. OK food, but not the drive out of my way good that it used to be. The portion proportions have also changed for the worse. Much less bacon. Much more rice. I feel like there should have been more meat for the money. I probably will not be back, and after more than 15 years of patronage, I'm sad.

Sweet & Sour Chicken: About a dozen and a half nuggets, a little smaller than the McDonald's model, all very round and very puffy, like a beer batter, served unsauced. Simple red sweet and sour sauce on the side, gloppy, with no pineapples or cherries. Cutting into a nugget (with a fork, since they don't have plastic knives) reveals a VERY low chicken-to-batter ratio. Chicken itself tender, and batter had decent crunch outside, way too puffy and borderline uncooked inside. Pork Fried Rice: Kind of on the dry side and definitely on the light side, but if you can get past these two, not a bad pork fried rice. It certainly had flavor, and there was enough pork to make it not seem skimpy. Egg Roll: Decent, as long as you're not looking for protein. Tiny specs among the moist and crispy greenery. Good crunch. Duck Sauce: They have the pink packets on the counter, which is scary, but with the meal comes a plastic container of the real stuff. Most Chinese restaurant duck sauce starts with apple sauce, but this was more obvious and not much different from straight apple sauce. All things considered, hardly impressive, but doable if you're really in a pinch. Certainly better (and a better value and no less safe) than the fast food options around town. Which isn't saying much.
