Shoutout to Stockton, CA. Oriental Chef restaurant. I went for dinner with a large group of people. The majority of us never ate there before. So we were going in blind. We ordered multiple dishes.. The end verdict was ... the food was OMG delicious. Classic Cantonese. Anyways... onto the food. +Pork soup- it was simple and a good start to our meal. +Steamed sea bass - dished out from their tank. Steamed to perfection, topped with oil and sauce. Served whole. This was one of my faves. +Lobster-stir fried, chopped pieces. The lobster sauce was so yummy, you might find yourself licking the shell. +Sautéed greens- classic execution and flavor. +Chicken and green beans in black bean sauce-wok fried chicken and blistered green beans with that salty, deep black bean flavor. Mmm. +Beef and asparagus- tender slices of wok fried beef and asparagus in a light gravy sauce. Yum. + Roast duck- they only had half left. So if your heart is set on one, call ahead with your reservation. The duck was roasted to perfection having a classic crisp skin with deep flavors, moist succulent meat. +White cut chicken- a classic dish prepared well served with ginger oil. +Fried boneless chicken- Cantonese style fried chicken with its thick, fried crispy exterior and moist chicken. Eat this hot and fresh! +House chow mein - with thick noodles. Perfectly cooked noodles. A classic comfort dish prepared spot on. +Chicken salad with shredded chicken and jellyfish- shredded white cut chicken with shredded lettuce and jellyfish. The execution was a bit off; I tasted bit of shard bone. The customer service is attentive and polite with cool aloofness. However, the restaurant itself and the shopping plaza has definitely seen better days and could use a refresh. It has a neglected look. It tugs at my heart since I remember when this shopping plaza was first built. read more
