The service was excellent! Very attentive! Nit many people inside on a Friday night but take out customers were back to back non stop so it's clearly a hot spot 👌
It was my first time so we got a few items, scallion pancakes, rangoons, pork fried rice, orange chicken and garlic steak.
Appetizers were very crispy and perfectly made.
Pancakes were airy and flavorful. I could have eaten 5 plates of that! 10/10
Rangoons were delicious. Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside! 10/10
Pork fried rice ....amazing. 20/10
I would come here for Appetizers all day any day! Next time I come ill have to try the egg rolls and a few other items that caught my eye!
So here is the ..odd part of the meal - IMO...
I got the garlic steak. I *assumed* it would come with broccoli, baby carrots, etc. You know the typical "Chinese veggies" you would get with take out. Oh no no no. They went in a complete different direction. Red pepper Strips, sugar snap peas, carrots and large chunks of zucchini. A LOT of zucchini. I'm not mad about it. It was delicious and very spicy. But I'm just confused at why sooo much zucchini! To me it just made it look like "filler" veggies. I don't believe it was mentioned in the menu about which veggies...I probably wouldn't have ordered if I knew that. However the steak was very well seasoned and tender.
I would definitely order this again, now that I know what to expect!
Now, on the other hand, my date ordered the orange chicken and was very bummed about it. He did ask for it to be a little less spicy, so I don't know if that made the difference but it really shouldn't have.
The chicken was HUGE chunks of white chicken breast, nicely breaded and coated, there was plenty of sauce for sure. Again with the odd choice in veggies but not as much. The sauce However just didn't have much of a flavor except sweet. There wasn't much of an orange taste or a spice at all. It was all one note. He ended up adding some of the duck sauce on the table to it and that helped it a lot! Normally people specifically ask for white meat only and I'm sure that's where their mind was at when making this dish - most people don't know how much better dark meat is- especially in sticky sauces like this. The very large pieces of chicken looked nice but once you cut them down to normal bite sizes they needed more sauce to even out the sauce to meat ratio 😬
If this was smaller cuts of chicken this wouldn't have been so bad. He said he would NOT order this again. I don't enjoy orange chicken so I have no say in that but he gave it a 6/10 for quality and presentation.
One other thing that I noticed, that other tables meals had come with a bowl of white rice. Again, I assumed and don't remember what the menu said but I've always gotten a side of white rice with my meals at other places. Now I *assume* that because we ordered the pork fried rice they assumed that would be our rice.
I would have enjoyed white rice more with the meals then pork friend rice which we got just to try as an app (it was a huge bowl for $15 so it was definitely taken home)
That was a tad annoying on their part but thats on us for not asking.
The service was fast. The staff was very friendly and attentive! 100/10
We would 100% go back...but we know to ask for more details or ask for substitutions for veggies next time!
Over all 8/10!
