When we started BBDO over 5 years ago, I made a conscious decision not to review Chinese restaurants, not due to xenophobia or any such nonsense, but solely due to the fact that they all server basically the same Anglo-influenced Chinese fare. Then we realized execution could play a factor here and allow a separation if I used a baseline. After a survey of several thousand (thank you one and all) Big Boy Dining Out readers, the dishes chosen are General Tso’s Chicken, steamed dumplings and the standard egg rolls.
Entering the place I was immediately overcome with a dismal vibe. It was clean and neat and everything it just didn’t give off a very happy atmosphere. Coco is our moderately charming fùwùyuàn although I don’t think she spoke any English at all, which just pointing out here, would be helpful in the service industry in a country where the overwhelming majority of the populace speak it.
At this point, I would start peppering this review with a fair amount of charentisimistic phrases, but that would hinder our BBDO policy of calling it like it is. The General Tso Chicken, which was invented in California, must have been left over from the laying of the transcontinental railroad as it had the consistency of the gizzard and tasted excruciatingly bad. The meat was impossible to chew without the aid of mechanized jaws and it seemed to be drenched in maple syrup.
The dumplings were just like the dumplings I have consumed many times in the past. They were steamed and contained a mix of meat and veggies. The egg roll was 2 instead of 4 inches long. Other than that, it tasted like the millions of egg rolls I’ve had in my lifetime. The accompanying sauces for both the dumplings and egg roll were as expected. Not freshly made, but tasty enough.
As I was paying my bill, I took a passing glance at the owner who poured over a checkbook with a very unsightly look on his face.
The Big Boy says, “With over 100 Chinese restaurants in Brevard County, hopefully, the checkbook perusal means this dump is going out of business. Don’t. Just don’t”
The veggies had a weird smell
I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The food was absolutely incredible—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every dish we tried, from the dumplings to the sizzling stir-fry, was bursting with authentic flavors.
The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. One of the best togo restaurants in merit island!
If you’re looking for delicious, authentic Chinese food in a cozy setting, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back!
