My waitress was very friendly and quick on her feet. I ordered the dinner combination plate of mongolian chicken,chow mein, fried rice, and there was also 1 vegetable egg roll and 1 fried shrimp prawn. I also had their orange chicken and garlic chicken. The food was fresh, and it had good flavor, plus their portions were BIG!
I walked in here on the eve of Thanksgiving….10 minutes before they closed. I simply was not paying attention to time, or even knew what time it was to be honest.
Once I realized this, I told them I would gladly leave and come back another day as I did not want to be “one of those people…”
Anyone who has ever worked in any food service know exactly who I am referring too. However, everyone at the counter immediately told me to not worry and to sit down and get some food as there was a few families left in there still finishing up and “it’s really not a big deal at all.”
I promised to order quick, eat quick, and pop smoke! Again, it was reinforced I need not rush and to relax and EAT! Oh man did I eat. I ordered the Orange chicken, I had seen pictures online and seen a few people reference the dish when reading reviews previously. I also placed an order to-go for my wife, who works nights (Beef and Broccoli). I am sure she gets tired of the lunches I pack, they aren’t always 10s!
My order came out so quick I barely had time to peruse the internet absentmindedly. In fact, normally when I eat alone I browse reddit while I eat just to multi task my ADHD away. Not tonight. I put my phone down and put 100% of my attention into the food.
I will gladly state; this is by far, the BEST Chinese food I have had in probably a decade, if not ever. The meal came with a soup, I got the Hot and Sour. It was awesome. I inhaled it. Their Chow Mein is on a level of it’s own, I would gladly order a 10 gallon bucket of it and unashamedly devour all of it in one go. It has freaking SPROUTS in it, how awesome is that?!! The spring onion, the hint of I believe sesame oil…11 out of 10.
The orange chicken, is also an 11 out of 10. The dish comes with a spring roll (fried) and a breaded and fried shrimp. It was too much. I am a big dude, and I struggled to even finish the protein portion. Left half the Chow Mein for dinner….I mean lunch….Oh why lie? I will eat it in the middle of the night or probably for breakfast. I cannot stress how good those noodles are.
Now, not only was the food on it’s own worthy of 5 stars. The employees? Wow! Everyone was so nice, beyond nice, and welcoming. Even though I popped in 10 minutes before close (again, sorry my friends I wasn’t paying attention), they never once rolled eyes, or made me feel like I was a burden in anyway.
Even as the final families cleared out and I was left alone, shoveling this down as fast as I could to get out of their hair. They engaged me in conversation that was fun and spirited. We swapped stories, and I told them a bit of my travels and the food I have indulged in. I did let them know how they blew me away with kindness, generosity, and amazing food.
Look. I have been to a lot, and I mean A LOT of places around this country, and the world. This place deserves as much success as they possibly can. You can see they have been here for a minute, and have a stellar review history as it is. I’m late to the party here, but I sure am glad I decided to pop in tonight. I will be back, but the next time I will not be alone. I am bringing everyone I can here.
You know how In N Out is known for their cheerful employees and upbeat atmosphere? I know…. I worked for them for three years… This place reminded me of that.
My only regret? I wish I would have asked for their names, I was in such a hurry to get out of there because I know what it’s like to stay later than you need, it slipped my mind. Whomever worked tonight, I appreciate it. Thank you.
