    155. Moo Shu Beef
    Jason P.

    A cool thing about eating with friends is seeing them order things you never think of. Like when I first saw my friend Laura order Moo Shu pancakes at a Chinese restaurant about 20 years ago. I ordered lunch from New China Star via DoorDash for the first time today, and I decided today was Moo Shu Beef's turn in my Chinese rotation. New China Star's Moo Shu was fairly standard and consisted of thin strands of cooked cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and green onions, small strips of beef and fried egg pieces. A savory broth-type sauce tied everything together, but it wasn't too saucy. This blend was served with crepe-like Moo Shu pancakes and hoisin sauce. New Star's Moo Shu version had good texture and flavor. The rich, sweet hoisin is a nice foil for the good salty, brothy Moo Shu sauce. I preferred the vegetables to the beef, but it was all pretty good. The thin square pancake held together surprisingly well. I upgraded to pork fried rice and also ordered an egg roll. Both were good. The rice was not oily and the pork pieces were decent. I could have used a bit more flavor. The egg roll had a good-different flavor than most other place's egg rolls. I thought I detected a small hint of rye flavor, but that doesn't seem right. It also had great color and texture. I can see why New China Star is a popular takeout/delivery service option in our area. I think it's earned a spot in my rotation. Four Stars

    I hate to admitt it but this place has won me over. After having a rough experience the first time I ordered take out (I think there might have been a language barrier) from New China Star - I dubbed it the "mean Chinese take out place" and refused to give them my business. However a couple of weeks ago Mark and I were getting out getting some fro-yo for later that evening and since it was around lunchtime Mark mentioned that he had a craving for some House Won Ton Soup. Reluctantly I went and placed the order for him while he got the fro yo, but refused to order anything for myself since they were still blacklisted. Once home, Mark let me sample some of his soup when and boy did I make a mistake by not ordering some for myself (espcially since Mark was unwilling to share). Since Won Ton Soup is my "gold standard" for Chinese take out - I have high expectations. Their version of the soup was flavorful and the wontons had both a great balance of pork to dough and the pork itself was flavored nicely. The broth also had a great salty wonton flavor that I love. In addition the soup was chock full of chicken, shirmp and vegetables. Since then we have gotten take out from there a couple of times and each time they have been positive experiences. The food is made fast and the portions are sizable. It's not imaginative or inventive Chinese food by any stretch of the imagination but sometimes you just need some good bowl of House Wonton Soup and some Boneless Spare Ribs or Mu Shu Pork and call it a night. They exceeded my expectations, are not longer "blacklisted" and back on the rotating list of take-out places.

    Stayed the night in the area because of work had a craving for Chinese food for some time now and I was hungry not really the type to experiment when I'm this hungry really glad I did when I picked up the phone and called a little hard to understand the guy but he understood me a little difficult to order with out seeing a menu of some sort with sizes and prices. I told him what I wanted and they had it. I guess it's pretty standard across the Chinese restaurants but felt a little dumb not knowing what I was getting. Now for the food I would say really quick for delivery food after 15 minutes of hanging up they were knocking on the door so fast I didn't even have the money ready to go. Food was in good portions and it was amazing it wasn't just good because I was hungry it was just that great. I think they should look into publishing a website with a menu something basic and set up a way to take credit card payments. I would say I ordered too much food but defiantly won't go to waste.

I don't…read moregenerally judge a takeout restaurant by its appearance, but I acknowledge that if Great Wall were a book facing out on the library shelf, I'd go a different direction. Still, Great Wall consistently provides food that is decent to very good, at a fair price. Great Wall's service is very efficient. I live a little less than 10 minutes away. Things usually go like this. I call from from home. Great Wall answers by the second ring. The call lasts a minute and at the end, Great Wall says "10 minutes." I walk to my car and drive. I arrive at Great Wall and my order is ready. That's reliable takeout. I change up my orders a bit, but I frequently order a combo meal with General Tso's chicken, boneless spare ribs, pork fried rice and an egg roll. That's what I ordered tonight. If not for this combo meal, I probably wouldn't order any of these things. But getting these four things together often outweighs the one thing that I most want to order. Pork fried rice's stock was a bit down tonight. It's never a highlight, but today there seemed to be less pork than usual. However, Egg Roll's stock was a bit up. A wash. The boneless spareribs are consistently very good. The pork has good texture and the glaze has the level of sweetness I look for. It's hard to know how to judge the General. The outside is never as crispy as I like, but it is takeout and steam circulates when they close the lid. The sauce has good flavor. The chicken itself is OK. One thing that Great Wall consistently crushes is Crab Rangoon. The shell is crispy and has good color. The inside is sweet and creamy. Great texture and flavor all around. Great Wall is somewhere between 3 and 4 Stars for me. Closer to a 3 tonight. In any event, until another within a 600 second drive can efficiently provide better food for the same price or less, Great Taste will remain my Chinese Takeout Place, 10 Minute Drive or Less Category.

    Consistent, flavorful, and good portion sizes. Went for lunch and the service was pretty quick,…read morethough we went right at opening so they were still in the process of starting their day. Lunch specials are smaller portion, but good for the price (raised to $12.95 now since my last menu photo) We split a lot of dishes because we couldn't decide: Wonton soup appetizer {4.5/5}: Loved how delicate the wontons were and the clear broth was great for a cold day. Tad too salty though. Lunch special --Braised pork belly {3/5}: Very tender, but kind of monotone in flavor. Very filling! Lunch special --Hot and sour gizzards {4.5/5}: This might freak people out in terms of texture, but I LOVE this texture. Good chew and pops of heat from the peppers and acid from the pickled green beans Lunch special --Cumin dish lamb {3/5}: kind of chewy and not as much flavor as I wished, but not bad! Chicken wings {3/5}: Crunchyyyy. Battered wings, not as much flavor as their chongqing chicken which I prefer, but not bad

Outside is very much a busy shopping plaza in not the best part of town. Inside is a completely different story. Very clean and spacious, lots of booths and tables. Decorated well and a lot to see. The staff were friendly but there was a slight language barrier. We fumbled through the menu and found some bites to try. Food came out relatively quick, and that was a bit to manage because there were a lot of plates brought rather quickly. We got pics and dug in. The bites were flavored well. Nothing felt too greasy or under seasoned. The white pepper chicken was very crispy. But not a lot of chicken on each bite. The sweet and sour soup was both sweet and sour, but balanced enough that you could keep on eating it. The dumplings were fresh noodles and the filling was spiced well. The only flop was the spare ribs. Really tasty sauce, but very little meat on the bone. Had to suck on the bones to scrape enough meat off to make it a proper appetizer. It tasted good, just was not easy to eat. Price for the area was high for the neighborhood. It's got the quality and the flavor to command that price easily, but it doesn't match the stores. It's really good, but know that you're getting the real deal sichuan experience. Expect some heat, some saucy fingers, and some bones, and you'll get some really good bites

Sapporo Premium Beer is Japan's oldest beer brand, founded in Hokkaido in 1876 by brewer Seibei Nakagawa. Known for a crisp, refined taste with a clean, dry finish, it is a pilsner-style lager (roughly 4.7-5.2% ABV) frequently packaged in iconic silver cans. It pairs well with Japanese food and is known for its high-quality ingredients and brewing standards. It was founded in 1876 during Japan's Meiji-era modernization in Hokkaido, it is the nation's first and oldest beer. The world headquarters of Sapporo Breweries is in Ebisu, Shibuya, Tokyo, and it also operates a renowned museum in Sapporo. As for taste, it's a golden-colored, light-to-medium-bodied lager with mild bitterness, a subtle sweet malt aroma, and a sharp finish.. While technically a Japanese beer, many cans sold in the U.S. are brewed in places like Escondido, California, and Richmond, Virginia, Key products include Sapporo Premium Lager, Sapporo Black, and Yebisu. This is THE beer to have with this cuisine (Chengdu or Szechuan). This is good! It's ice cold too! For our appetizers, we are having the Steamed Vegetable Dumplings and Spicy Flavored Jelly Noodles which are dressed in scallions, ginger, garlic, celery and cilantro. These are good! They come with soy sauce. The noodles are made from mong beans. Mung beans (Vigna radiata) are small, green legumes native to India, widely cultivated in Asia, and known as green gram or moong bean. They are a highly nutritious, versatile ingredient, rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, used in both savory dishes (soups, curries, noodles) and sweet desserts, often sprouted for increased nutritional value. Mung beans are easy to cook, require little to no presoaking, and offer health benefits like antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. I am also having the Seafood Hot and Sour Soup (small size). This seafood soup is good! Not too spicy! It's similar to the standard Chinese hot and sour soup in taste. For my entree, i'm having the Sliced Chicken with Crunchy Rice. This is made with chicken slices, crunchy rice, black fungus, ginger, scallions, garlic, pickled chili peppers, lettuce and pea sprouts. They fold the crispy rice and put it on top. This is piping hot! Spicy too! For dessert, we are having a Chocolate Truffle (made with Zabione cream center surrounded by chocolate gelato and caramelized hazelnuts topped with cocoa powder), Cappuccino Truffle (made with cappuccino gelato with a heart of espresso covered with coffee flavored merinique sprinkles) and Capps Pistachio (custard gelato swirled with chocolate and pistachio gelato ago topped with praline pistachios). Zabaione (or zabaglione) is a classic Italian dessert made from whipped egg yolks, sugar, and sweet wine (traditionally Marsala) cooked gently over a double boiler until light, foamy, and custard-like. It can be served warm as a sauce over fruit or cookies, or chilled as a standalone dessert, often garnished with berries or biscotti. The name comes from the Venetian word for "whipped," reflecting its airy texture. These are absolutely great!
