I got a carryout of the beef lomein lunch special and crab rangoons. I ordered online which was an easy and enjoyable experience.
I wasn't sure about the hype on the Crab Rangoons - I typically don't like them because they are usually grossly sweet and get an egg roll when trying somewhere new first - BUT, believe the hype! They are amazing, crispy and only ever so slightly sweet and appear to actually have some sort of crab meat in them. I appreciate that I could add sweetness when I wanted to with their dipping sauce that came with it. I will admit that the sauce was kind of weird, not smooth like a typical dip but rather like an applesauce as others have said - but it did taste good.
My special came with soup, which I didn't expect! It was hot and sour soup, and was very good. I wish it came with some crunchy topping, but I believe you can add on some fried chow mein for an extra $2 if you really wanted to. The soup was a bit thicker than I would prefer, but not full on gelatinous like over at China Express.
I ordered my lomein spicy, and was pleasantly presented with a med-hot level noodle order, right about where I wanted it to be. The portion was pretty large for a lunch order, had I skipped the rangoons, I still would probably have left overs. It was a bit greasy, and the veggies were a little overdone, but tasted good, and my beef was very salty and beefy tasting. I'm not sure if the beef maybe was a little older? Hopefully not an issue later. If I got the lomein again I'd probably just go veggie, but I wanted to see how their meat was this time around. I'd say this is good food especially if you have been drinking.
Would come again at lunch time! Good price at lunch, I don't know about dinner.
