    Shrimp Lo Mein & Crab Rangoon (4)
    Tanzie R.

    This is your average Chinese take out spot right by Msgr. McGolrick Park. It's not really a dine in place. They took covid seriously and everyone in there were wearing masks and gloves. There's even a screen protecting the staff from their customers when you go to order. I ordered over the phone for pick up. It was a little difficult understanding because of the language barrier. They don't tell you what the items cost because they assume you're familiar with their prices already. It's all pretty cheap anyway. I had some trouble understanding why my bill was a little hiigh but it turns out she had added an extra order because she thought I wanted ribs... The food itself was very heavy and didn't really sit well. I know that's expected of cheap Chinese takeout but this one really made me feel like I was stuffed with fat and sodium lol. I ordered the crab Rangoon wontons which were really good. Perfect amount of filling. A bit on the sweeter side. I also got the sweet and sour shrimp which were these giant doughy fried shrimp balls. They were fun to eat but very greasy. You needed the white rice to balance that out. I got the beef with Chinese vegetables which was ALL just vegetables. The veggies and beef were fine. There was also a lot of sauce left over. I also got the shrimp lo mein. The shrimp tasted a little too fishy but there was a decent amount of them. The noodles themselves lacked flavor and adding soy sauce didn't really help it. It would have tasted better if the sauce was cooked down a little more.

    I ordered dinner from this place today and the chicken wings were so old and burnt they were inedible, the broccoli was soggy and also tasted old. I wanted to support a local restaurant during the pandemic, but I won't be ordering from them again. Just look at these so-called chicken wings, how can you serve that to anyone?

    We went today for the lunch to Peking Express, and ordered 2 soups - Hot & Sour - in one of them we found a metal piece from the kurly kate stainless steel sponges (please see the picture below), the other soup we still did not try yet! Hope is without it!!!

    Cheap as hell and giant portions. Satisfying, too. Also they'll make anything with tofu if you ask.

    Very solid Chinese food spot. We picked up food to go and the restaurant looked very clean and…read morespacious though no one was eating in. The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

    I had a taste for Chinese food like good old school. Chinese food and I happen to look on one of…read morethe delivery apps and located this place. I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.

There was nothing that I ordered that needed ketchup. Nothing. There wasn't even soy sauce in the bag. Then had the unmitigated gall to charge $22 for the salt baked shrimp and told me I had to pay $5 extra to substitute the lo mein for white rice. Who is eating white rice with shrimp? Girl bye. I'm not paying almost $30 for one meal from a hood Chinese spot. If there's no heat in your establishment, your prices need to be in lowercase. If it looks like you might catch staph in your establishment, your prices need not to be so loud. I also believe they overcharged me. They did have a sign saying that the prices went up, but I think they may have been too cheap to print out a new menu if that was the case. I was going off of what they had on the wall for the general public. So as I stated, I ordered crab Rangoon ($7, allegedly), honey wings ($7, allegedly), a shrimp egg roll ($2, allegedly), spare rib tips with fried rice ($12, allegedly). My total was $31. My assumption is they probably charged me extra for pork fried rice, which I didn't ask him for. I know for a fact they are not charging tax because there's no way that you're forcing people to pay in cash while also charging them for taxes that you don't pay. The crab Rangoon was actually pretty decent even though I didn't have the sauce that comes with it. The honey wings were OK. They actually taste more like honey BBQ. I prefer C&Y honey wings. It's real honey and stay hot for an hour due to the way honey maintains heat. I also don't appreciate when these spots chop up a wing and call it two wings. 1 wing is the entire thing. STINGY. The spare rib tips I don't like and neither do I like their pork fried rice. The rice is a bit bland and I don't like those large spare rib tips. I prefer the boneless spare rib tips that C&Y has. A shrimp roll is a shrimp roll is a shrimp roll. It wasn't too bad and it was actually pretty happy. The shrimp was a little bit larger than those baby shrimp that they normally stuff in shrimp rolls. Their pricing is on par with C&Y yet I don't have no issues paying what they ask and their food is good aside from their lo mein. They are not stingy and have pretty decent customer service unlike the guy who took my order here who paused my order to take another order over the phone and tend to the person behind me. This is what I get for cheating on my spot and being lazy when they both were far af.

The food was tasty which is the Hardee way but the energy of the man behind the counter was atrocious! He was distracted by a personal call he was on and he seemed REALLY annoyed by my presence. Did I detect an eye roll??? I probably won't ever return to this Hardee location.

    Great tasting din soup dumplings! I came around lunch and…read moreit was busy. Luckily the turn around time for a table isn't a long wait. Their menu is pretty unique. I tried the wontons in spicy peanut sauce. It was different because I'm use to chili wontons. The spicy peanut sauce wasn't spicy. The peanut sauce itself is pretty thick, so I would recommend dipping it in the accompanying dipping sauce to balance the flavors. I would try the spicy peanut wontons again. I also tried the pork soup dumplings, which took some time to cook. It arrives very hot, so give it some time to cool off, maybe 5-10 minutes. The soup dumplings were mid, maybe I would try the truffle soup dumplings if I came back. I love how the dumplings are made in house

    Food is pretty good. Noodles and dumplings are made fresh and you can tell the difference. Flavors…read morefor fried noodles are also excellent. However, the real negative here is the operations. It is a chaotic mess for the volume they are trying to do. It's not about adding more manpower, it's about streamlining. Tables are sitting empty while people are on the waitlist (not due to reservations), orders are going to the wrong tables, to-go orders are in disarray and have to be re-verified on multiple orders, and it takes a long time to get some water. The Yelp waitlist is useless here - wait was supposed to be 5-10 minutes and it turned into almost 40. All this could have been avoided with more planning, better organization, and training. Kitchen staff doing their job well. Front of house needs work.
