If you were a fan of Lin’s China Jade (near Cedar Hill and Hall) before the owners retired, and have lamented about it past 2 years (like me), lement no further and worry no more about finding a comparable place. It turns out that the most of the former employees moved to a new restaurant that is owned by a couple who worked at the very restaurant, Lin’s China Jade, for over a decade, and were trained by the original chef, to take over after the original owners retire!!! That new restaurant is this one, Stir Crazy Kitchen!
My daughter in Seattle happened to encounter a review that mentioned a place that was trying to reproduce Lin’s China Jade while serving other Chinese food! For this very reason only, we came to test it out. When we walked in, the new owner and we recognized each other from the Lin’s days!
Obviously, we were pleasantly surprised and instantly became excited with anticipation. We ordered our “usual” items (Jjampong, Tansuyook, and Happy Family). Well, the food tasted very much like the former China Jade’s, satisfying our pallettes as before. Even the side dish, kimchi, tasted about the same!
A slight difference was the Jjampong. The new version is a bit lighter and cleaner taste while the former was thicker and heavier (a bit spicier also) soup base. It was very good also in its own way.
The amount of food, including the ingredients, seemed ample, the way Chinese food should be — good taste and value. See the photo of Jjampong, which was after partitioning it into three portions.
By the way, I really like the large spoon that comes with Jjampong, which helps one take larger amounts of the soup with every spoonful, to enjoy the key portion of such a dish, soup base!
AnywY, we shall return when we are back in town…
Highly recommend this restaurant for vegetarians. The crispy tofu in sesame sauce (with broccoli and snap peas) is amaaaaazing. Also try the zombie drink if you need a little pick me up 😉
Fried spring rolls are so full of yummy veggies, too. Well priced for the quality.
The house special chicken was okay, but I wish it had been served warmer. Unfortunately, the rest of the meal was underwhelming. The Mongolian beef was overly salty, and the jjampong had an unpleasant smell, with noodles that were too thin and had more of a soba-like texture, which didn’t work for the dish at all. The shrimp fried rice was also excessively greasy.
Overall, the flavors were completely different from what I enjoyed a year ago. Hopefully, this was just an off day, but I left feeling disappointed.
If you like grease you will love this place.
The sweet and sour chicken was basically a few pieces of chicken surrounded by a massive amount of greasy batter.
Save your money and go to Panda Express instead
