I am not often in this area but today I had a doctor appointment and realized I was running out of gas so the gas station I chose happened to be in a strip mall 1.2 miles from my doc.
This restaurant also resides in this corner strip mall.
Signs indicating the restaurant was open were lit and when I pulled up into the parking area I could see that masks were required to enter and that they also were selling masks 10 for $13. I had not seen this at a restaurant before. I got on the website and determined I would place a take-out order. After reviewing the menu which has a broad variety of lunch specials, I chose the Kung pow shrimp. There was a checkbox where you could indicate whether you wanted low, moderate or high heat applied to your dish. I chose moderate.
I went ahead and walked in all masked up about five minutes after I placed the order, and sure enough it was ready and waiting for me.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that although my credit card hadn't worked properly they went ahead and made my dish and then just asked for my card when I got there. I thought that was pretty generous all things considered.
I was hungry -so as I started the drive home I pulled my fortune cookie out and quickly
munched on that. ***I appreciated that my fortune said that "Your enthusiasm towards work will soon pay off" as I am really wanting to go back to some kind of work (preferably Hospice) and have started making inquiries.
Next, as I was feeling around in my bag wondering if I could manage my soup while driving -when I felt a small object -roller shaped, So, I pulled it out and sure enough there was my egg roll wrapped in a little wax paper bag. The greatest thing ever!!!!!! is that it was not put in with my main dish because even in the wax paper I know it would have wilted!!!!!!. Because they placed it separately when I removed it from the bag it was super crisp and still piping hot.
It was a vegetable eggroll in the thin style eggroll wrap -which is my preference. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, I got stuck behind a wreck that had just occurred and after determining everyone was OK went ahead and moved on before the police arrived and stopped all traffic. At that point I decided I was going to go to a park and stay in my car under a tree in the shade and eat my lunch. Sadly, they are still using Styrofoam boxes for takeout,however I know many, many restaurants are.
When I open the container there was a very large portion of the Kung-Pao Shrimp that filled the entire large section of the container to overflowing and a nice big serving of fried rice in one of the other container sections. There was some sweet-and-sour sauce in a small container-sitting in the third little section and I went ahead and remove the three hot peppers that were on top of my prepared dish and dove in.
The fried rice was a little atypical in that there was only a pea scattered very infrequently. Now, I am aware that some people are really adverse to veggies and wouldn't even like the small quantity found normally in fried rice so I can't say that this is necessarily a bad thing other than I do like veggies and so I missed it a little bit. My Kung Pao Shrimp made up for it! There was lots of chunky water chestnut, celery, green pepper, and red pepper interspersed amongst the shrimp, the brown sauce, and the peanuts. I'm not sure how many ounces of shrimp but I can tell you there were 5 nice plump large or ? Extra large shrimp.
This was more than adequate for a lunch portion. Speaking of the lunch, their combo includes the main entrée, an eggroll, white, brown or fried rice, and either egg drop wonton soup.
This meal was easily hearty enough for two adults.
This lunch was a solid Four Stars for me!
