This place is certainly not 5 stars - "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" but I'm definitely a fan of the food and staff. The restaurant itself is pretty small (seating around 16 people) but the female cashier, who I assume is the owner, is friendly in person and over the phone. It takes me 5 minutes to drive to this place so it has become my go-to restaurant for Chinese take out. Also, the delivery guy is very friendly. His English is limited but he's very laid back and he seems like a happy person.
In terms of the lunch special, the pork in the fried rice can be substituted with chicken which is a nice touch. The fried rice itself is well made. The stickiness of the white rice varies from time to time, but not by much. All of the soups are neither salty nor bland, at least to my taste, and the egg roll is okay.
On to the dishes...
Lo Mein - 7.5/10: It's not bad but I've had better. At times the noodles are saturated with the sauce so it arrives poofy and moist. Not really for me.
Chicken or Beef w/ Broccoli - 8.5/10: Meat is cooked well, sauce is good, and the broccoli is tender with a bit of crunch.
Sweet & Sour Chicken - 7.5/10: It's not my favorite dish in general. I took a bite off of my friend's plate and the fried layer was slightly thick for my taste. It wasn't terrible though.
General Tso's Chicken - 9.5/10: My go-to dish. Sauce is solid and the chicken has a thin crispy layer on the outside while remaining soft and tender inside.
Curry Beef - 6.5/10: Eh. I was in the mood so I tried it. Go to a Thai or Indian restaurant for your curry cravings.
Chicken Wings - 8.5/10: Not bad, especially when you pair it with fried rice. It has this "cooked in a Chinese take out" taste to it though. For instance if you were sampling chicken wings from various restaurants, you'd know after one bite that it was prepared at a Chinese take out. It's not necessarily a bad thing though.
Beef Chow Fun - 7/10: Not that great. I've had much better elsewhere. It's a bit bland and it tastes like it's missing some crucial ingredient.
General Tso's Shrimp - 6/10: Stick with the chicken or order a different shrimp dish. The fried outer layer is way too thick.
Bar-B-Q Spare Ribs - 8/10: Pretty good but like the wings it has that distinct "cooked in a Chinese take out" taste to it.
Spring Roll - 9/10: Solid.
Shrimp Dumplings - 9/10: I'm a fan of dumplings and shrimp. The combination has led for this dish along with the spring roll to become my go-to appetizers. Sometimes I'll just order the two and call it a meal.
Ma Po Tofu - 8.5/10: Tried it on a whim and it was surprisingly good. It's seasoned well and it hits the spot when you're looking for something to mix with white rice.
Twice Cooked Pork - 8.5/10: It's not bad. If you're in the mood for pork and you can't decide what to get, I'd give this dish a shot.
Tekka Roll (Tuna) - 8/10: I'm not a huge fan of Japanese food when it's served as a secondary cuisine, especially sushi. I also have low expectations when sushi is prepared in a Chinese take out restaurant. It wasn't bad though. It's fresh mid-grade sushi. If you're in the mood it's worth a try.
