Yummy China

I have been craving some really, really good authentic Chinese food for a while now, and while I…read morewas in the area, I immediately checked Yelp to see what people were saying about this spot. The reviews looked promising, so I called ahead and placed my order. They told me it would be ready in about 10 minutes, which was perfect. I ordered wonton soup, orange chicken, and house fried rice (my favorite because you get the mix of chicken, shrimp, and sometimes pork). I completely forgot to take photos when I first got my food, so the pictures I posted are actually from the leftovers I brought to work the next day for lunch -- which also shows they give solid portion sizes, pretty typical and generous for a Chinese restaurant. The staff was very kind, and one thing I really appreciated was that they had utensils and sauces set out for customers to grab themselves. I feel like a lot of restaurants can be a little stingy with sauces or charge for every extra, so it was refreshing to be able to take what I needed without having to ask. For that alone, I'd give them five stars for customer service. As for the food, it was good -- not bad at all -- but I personally wanted a little more flavor and seasoning. I would definitely eat here again, but I'm still on the search for my go-to Chinese spot. If anyone has recommendations for a place with bold flavor and great seasoning, let me know!

The General Tso's chicken was flavorful but a bit too sweet for my liking. The Triple Szechuan Delight was just okay. Definitely not my favorite, but the House Special Chow Fun was tasty.

You can't go wrong with a stop at Vietnamese Noodle House. I have been going here happily for…read moreyears, and have tried so many of thier items from salted yolk lemonade, to their banh mi, to spicy beef soup. It's always a great place for a more affordable option, so sometimes I meet with friends here as well. The one thing I have been so sad to see go is they used to have the absolute best Pandan Bubble Tea. I couldn't find this flavor anywhere else--and now not even here. :( For now for my bubble tea fix I go for a taro. The consistency is always creamy, light, sweet and the tapioca has a good flavor. It is important to note this tea has a lot of sugar, and is more of a dessert than something to have often. The service here is always kind, interior is clean. Easy parking.

I tried Vietnamese Noodle house for the first time as take out and was very happy with this! We…read moreordered ahead and took 2 seconds to pick up, which I always appreciate time efficiency. Everything in the order was correct and delicious! I definitely want to try again sitting inside since I had to heat up my food a few times. I enjoyed all the toppings it comes with and you can really choose your own meal with the different add in options. I also enjoy spicy but really appreciate you are in total control of how spicy or how flavorful you like your meal.

I wish the menu provided more details about what was included in each dish. When I tried the Kung Pao Chicken, I bit into something twice that caused a strong burning sensation in my mouth. I'm still not sure what it was, because it looked like chicken at first. I also ordered the Orange Chicken and the General Tso's Chicken (extra spicy), but neither dish was spicy at all, or fresh tasting. All chicken dishes were drowned in bland sauce. Since it was our first time and we weren't sure how the food would be, we decided to order from the lunch menu. In hindsight, we all regretted that choice and felt we should have tried something else instead.

The fried dumplings had a nicely flavored filling but they were a bit doughier than I prefer. The hot and sour soup had a good kick but it didn't have the typical mushrooms and tofu I find from other places. The General Tso's chicken was marked as spicy on the website but lacked any real spice. I wasn't disappointed with my order but I will probably go to other local take out spots over this one.
