Trust me, I wanted to really like this place and was hoping to add another go-to spot to the growing list of culinary delights. The lady that served us was exceptionally friendly. Everything seemed clean and organized. The menu was extensive (as expected of any Chinese spots) and had both Chinese and Thai dishes. Since I was particularly hungry in that moment, I ordered enough to binge a little and have some leftovers for later.
Both soups tasted great…despite being only slightly warm. That threw me off quite a bit. Since when do Chinese soups come out anything but scalding hot? But what immediately made me frown was the following three mains that came out. The beef and broccoli, while very American Chinese, still incorporates very traditional Cantonese culinary techniques, which is why I usually order it whenever I visit a “non-traditional” Chinese spot (to gauge their culinary finesse). The broccoli was slightly overcooked and soft. The meat tender but the sauce slightly clumped (over-slurried). It doesn’t stop there. The fried rice had no wok hei and was quite bland. The pan fried noodles was just as bland and the snow peas that came with it was still quite raw (the raw essence is still very present, which is another culinary faux pax.
That said, I can see why some people would like this place. It is non-pretentious with a lot of potential. Perhaps, they were just not having the best day in the kitchen and the person recommending it may have had significantly better experiences here with the food. I may give them a shot again down the road and update accordingly. Wishing this spot the very best!
Very cheap while the quality is very good.
