I grew up in Springfield, Missouri for 30 years now, so cashew chicken isn't an unfamiliar dish for…read moreme since Springfield is the home of cashew chicken after all. With that said, I am brutally critical when it comes down to our home dish. I wasn't the most impressed when I walked in. I even had some doubts, but that was until I had shut up and let the food do its magic. When the plate came out, the presentation shook me by surprise. A good garnish of cashews and green onion. The sauce had a perfect thinness to it, not goopy like other cashew chicken in Springfield. I took one bite and was astonished. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. The sauce was exactly how I wanted it to be. Their cheese rangoon was the right type of sweetness in their cream cheese filling and had a tasty crunchy exterior. The egg roll also delivered a perfectly crispy exterior as well and savory flavor in the inside. The egg fried rice was how you'd expect it to be, this being my least stand out, though it serves its purpose as a side of rice. As simple as cashew chicken gets, this is how you actually do it. I hope the rest of Springfield can take some notes because I get some hits and misses but this place is a hit when it comes to cashew chicken. Excellent job.

The menu is small and limited (as in no soup and minimal use of vegetables). However, I thought…read morethey did a pretty good job with what we tried - General Chicken with fried rice plus the optional combo (2 fried wontons and an egg roll). The batter on the chicken was crispy and the sauce was salty and not too sweet or gloopy. The wontons and egg roll were okay too. This would be a great choice for someone who doesn't like vegetables. As for me, the more vegetables the better so I would probably go elsewhere.

My wife and I needed a Chinese food fix so stopped in to what used to be our favorite restaurant,…read moreLeong's Asian Diner. This is the second time we've been there for lunch and left feeling that the taste was no longer special and price points no longer seem reasonable for lunch. We each ordered hot tea and lunch "specials" of cashew and sweet and sour chicken ($10.49 each.) Choice of egg roll or 2 crab Rangoon was an add on of $3.50 each and a bowl of hot and sour soup each was another $4+. The lunch with tip was $60 for the two of us. Oh, and my wife received egg drop soup instead of her hot and sour which was traded out when we mentioned it to our server. Speaking of the service, other than the mix up of soup, our server was very friendly as was the hostess. Sorry to say we'll be trying out other Chinese restaurants. Not a repeater for me now.

Apple Maps told us we had arrived just shy of the restaurant, which is up the hill a bit further. Just keep going. Many of us have heard of Hootentown through the years, and a few lucky ones have actually been to a music festival or put in for a float trip there. This relatively new diner is a real gem! It is run by a mother/daughter duo with the mama manning the kitchen with her extraordinary homemade, from-scratch comfort food! However, I was on a health kick today so I ordered the Taco Salad. Yeah, I know, so I didn't eat the lightly deep fried, crispy shell to my chagrin! Seasoning on everything is superb. She's not afraid to wake up your tastebuds & not just with the one-note spicy heat that masks as complex flavor. My mother thoroughly enjoyed her Philly cheesesteak chicken sandwich on a hoagie roll. She also went for the potato Fripps which (we had never heard of them) are spiral cut whole potatoes that are lightly deep fried into beautiful flowering shapes. We DO eat with our eyes after-all. Well done. So cool. Now, you must order one of theIr desserts at minimum and make sure it comes with their homemade whipped cream! Even if you're stuffed you'll have to take a couple bites. It's whipped & stabilized so well that it looks like homemade ice cream but, WOWZA, it ain't! When you devour it, you will want to kiss your grandmother, your great-grandmother, and the many mothers before that! Isn't it wonderful, every once in a while, to wax & wane nostalgic?!?! They even make their own rock candy from scratch which they thoughtfully provide with your bill. What is more country crafty than that? Bags of it are for sale @ each table. Make sure to look around at the collections on the walls. The daughter is fun to answer any questions you might have about the food, the dwelling, the kitsch, the river, and the politics in general. We even bought a dozen farm fresh eggs from her as we were walking out the door for, wait for it, one buck. Take a trip through the Ozark Hills, into the woods, and down to the James River. This place is an undiscovered gem! And, a HOOT(entown)!!!
